Jira issue originally created by user c960657:

I have a one-to-many relation with orphanRemoval=true.

If I remove an entity from the related collection and add it back, the entity is removed from the database.

$employee = $company->getEmployees()->first();
$company->getEmployees()->removeElement($employee);
$company->getEmployees()->add($employee);

$em->persist($company);
$em->flush();
// Now $employee is deleted from the database.

The expected behaviour is to leave the entity in the database, because it was present in the PersistentCollection when $em->persist() was called.

This is expected behavior, and won't be changed for now.

Is there any specific reason for this decision? Spent some time debugging because of this and I must say that such oddities are rather frustrating.

I have made a PR with the suggested change. It is a very small fix, so I hope you will reconsider this suggestion in the light of this.
