Symptoms

Policy verification does not alert about rules that hide other rules.
Only conflicting rules are verified as part of policy verification.
Specifically, policy verification does not alert about rules that hide other rules with the same action.

Cause

This is the default behavior starting from R80.40 version (no verification of hiding rules).

It is not necessary to check and edit hiding rules (other rules with same action) because it does not matter which of the rules the Security Gateway eventually enforces.
