Platform:

  • OS: Windows 10 x64
  • Version master branch, Neo-VM

Root Cause Analysis:

        public void Reset(byte viewNumber)
        {
            if (viewNumber == 0)
            {
                Snapshot?.Dispose();
                Snapshot = Blockchain.Singleton.GetSnapshot();
                Block = new Block
                {
                    PrevHash = Snapshot.CurrentBlockHash,
                    Index = Snapshot.Height + 1,
                    NextConsensus = Blockchain.GetConsensusAddress(NativeContract.NEO.ComputeNextBlockValidators(Snapshot))
                };
                var pv = Validators;
                Validators = NativeContract.NEO.GetNextBlockValidators(Snapshot);
                if (_witnessSize == 0 || (pv != null && pv.Length != Validators.Length))
                {

It was caused by ComputeNextBlockValidators get the new update key, GetNextBlockValidators still get the original validators.
