Unable to remove neighbor entry

Some time ago i made a few static arp entries in the 'Interfaces > Neighbors'. Currently one of the entries has become obsolete and i wanted to remove it, but i am unable to do so.

I select the entry, click the delete button and apply. But the entry remains.

I've flushed my arp table and i don't see any leases referring to this device. Nor do i have any reservations in my DHCP services (not in KEA, ISC nor dnsmasq). I also checked my firewall rules but there is no reference to the device there either.
Previously i used ISC DHCP but i have switched to dnsmasq since about a year ago. And i think this neighbor entry is still from the time i used ISC DHCP.

am i doing something wrong or missing something obvious?

I tested on 25.7.10 and it adds and deletes the neighbor entry from the configuration.

It likely does not remove the neighbor from the ARP table until a reboot. Static ARP in ISC DHCP may change that if you apply there but that's for historic reasons.  There are upcoming changes related to these topics in 26.1.

So in case I haven't answered your question or bug can you be more precise?


Thanks,
