Navigator net highlight/probe and navigator net 'XL status' issue

(1) When selecting a net from navigator or probing that net,  it does not highlight the all the shapes that is connected to the net(the ones that are 1-2 levels below). I tried tinkering around with 'Extract layout' settings and setting the 'Extract connectivity to level: 0' and changing the 0 to something like 2-5 and even 32(max) and checking the options as well, but I din't see any useful results. This is troublesome because i need to see all metal shapes connected to a net.

(2) Right of the net name in navigator we have 'XL status'. Usually extracting the connectivity to 2-5 levels solves the incorrectly shown opens/shorts but often times it does not ( As shown in the picture - The cell is LVS clean but it still says some nets are open), how to make it such that the status is 'no markers' for all nets?

EDIT: For (1) I found that Doing Net tracer > Add logical trace is a good option to trace all shapes of the metals even to lower blocks.
