raycast fails when destroying/recreating entity

[blackberryshortcake]

import ursina

app = ursina.Ursina(window_type="none")

ground = ursina.Entity(model="plane", collider="mesh", scale=1000)
print(ursina.raycast(ursina.Vec3(5, 15, 0), ursina.Vec3(0, -1, 0)).hit)

ursina.destroy(ground)

ground = ursina.Entity(model="plane", collider="mesh", scale=1000)
print(ursina.raycast(ursina.Vec3(5, 15, 0), ursina.Vec3(0, -1, 0)).hit)

results in

True
False

but surely both should be true.
This is on Ursina 7.0.0 but also happens on current master 97797d6.

PS Since I keep running into issues involving destroy involving level reloading (= destroy the previous level and create a new level), do you have any suggestions on what I could do differently?

@blackberryshortcake When you call destroy(ground) and immediately recreate it, the old entity isn’t actually removed until the end of that frame, and the new one isn’t registered until the collision system rebuilds once per frame—so an immediate raycast(...) runs before the new collider exists and returns hit == False.

What's strange is that this seems to only be an issue in the case of model="plane", collider="mesh"
If I change one to use a box collider, or the models to 'cube', it doesn't break. Will have to investigate further.
