But it does. All you have to do is override the default invalidate. You yourself showed me how to do it.

No, it marks the end of the commands for the areamaneg. There can be user text below the tearline. It is ignored by the area manager but can still be read by a human.

Well, it was you who brought up areafix messages. So that is how we got into this distracting sideline. I'd say, it has nothing to do with ping.
I still have seen no clear technical reason why ping robots should invalidate tear lines or origin lines.
