This sounds a lot like a problem what was fixed by Ted Smith via PR #5737
It¡¯s not in a test release yet, but any recent development build (or JMRI 4.13.3 this weekend) should have it.

I'm a beginner building a testing bench to learn and test JMRI functionalities, how it works with DCC++ over and Arduino Mega, testing better placement for sensors and signals, ¡ prior to build the complete layout.
The enviroment I'm working on is:
PC: ASUS Intel Core i3-7100 CPU @ 3.90GHz 8GB RAM, Windows 10 Home, Java 1.8,0_181-b13
JMRI - version 4.12 + Rb6a9bb1 (previously 4.10 with the same trouble)
Arduino Mega - as base station comander (trouble also occurs with System Connection DCC++ Simulator)
Arduino Nano - as decoder for Accessories (trouble also occurs with System Connection DCC++ Simulator)
Ascii art for my simplified testing bench:
11 < sssssssss >> 3333 < uuuuuuu >
< aaaaaa >> 111 < bbbbbbbb > 2222 << ccccccc >
3333 and 2222 represent 2 diferent blocks for an X-Over (I'm not sure if it is the correct ascii art representation)
All seems to works fine except when turnout and X-over are thrown, in wich case the left double head mast shows clear aspect for straight route and stop aspect for diverging route.
I played with the layout uploaded by Dave Sand last May 29, removing elements and adding three end bumpers, making both layouts identical, and surprise ¡. it works completely well!!. So, I'm doing somthing wrong.
I know, using Dave Sand's file the problen is over, but I would like to use my own system and user names, and over all, I would like to know what I'm doing wrong.
I will try to upload my XML file to the JMRIusers files area (not sure if it's posible as new user),
Others minor problems:
- Error message from System Console before opening panels, just PanelPro:
2018-09-06 12:44:36,119 managers.JmriUserPreferencesManager ERROR - Unable to retrieve property "windowRectangle2D" for window "jmri.jmrit.display.layoutEditorLayoutEditor:My Layout" [AWT-EventQueue-0]
- It's not possible to remove a turnout item on the turnout table. Deleting from the table it disappears
but it appears when booting again.
I would appreciate any suggestion.
