Description

I'm noticing an issue where nested networked scene objects are reparented to the nearest parent network object on clients. For example:

In the scene:

Canvas
	ChildA (NetworkObject)
		ChildB
			ChildC (NetworkObject)
			ChildC (Not Networked)

On the server (which is also a client):

Canvas
	ChildA (NetworkObject)
		ChildB
			ChildC (NetworkObject)
			ChildC (Not Networked)

On other clients:

Canvas
	ChildA (NetworkObject)
		ChildB
			ChildC (Not Networked)
		ChildC (NetworkObject)

Host

Client

Replication

1. Open the SceneObjectReparenting scene in the provided sample project.
2. Start a server/client instance using the Network HUD controls.
3. Start a client only instance using the Network HUD controls (I use Unity Multiplayer Play Mode for this).
4. Observe on the host that the green square (Child C Not Networked) is visible and on the client the red square (Child C Networked) is visible. Also observe on the client that Child C Networked is now a child of Child A instead of Child B.

Expected behavior

The hierarchy is the same on the host and client(s).

Adding a NetworkBehaviour to every parent in the hierarchy fixes this as a workaround.

Same issue is confirmed here, any progress for fixing this?

Edit: For clearification, the issue I encountered can be described as: "A nested NetworkObject under an instantiated NetworkObject prefab in scene will be reparented under its root NetworkObject when the scene is loaded on client side (client only), regardless the original heirachy."
