Since upgrading from 4.18 to 4.20.1, debug shapes that I have been using in the editor no longer remain on screen when bPersistentLines is true.
To test I put the following on an empty actor and triggered it in an empty level (in editor, not playing):
DrawDebugSphere(GetWorld(), GetActorLocation(), 50.0f, 32, FColor(255, 0, 0), true);
The sphere appears for about 1s then disappears. Does anyone else have the same problem or is it just me?
For now I have gotten around the problem by setting long durations.
Got this problem too. Only minor but yeah, long durations has been the temporary workaround.

Thanks
I was able to fix this by adding this line to World.cpp:
PersistentLineBatcher->DefaultLifeTime = -1.0f;
On line 1648 for me, but right after this line:
PersistentLineBatcher = NewObject<ULineBatchComponent>();
