Hi James,

I’ve created https://github.com/bokeh/bokeh/issues/7476

Please also note that changing renderers property directly is something that might not work even when there’s no any defect. For an explanation, see https://github.com/bokeh/bokeh/issues/6423#issuecomment-307283106

Also, if in your application the end number of annotations is fixed, I suggest to just toggle visible property of an annotation - it’s much simpler and much more reliable.

Thanks Eugene!

My number of box annotations is not fixed. Sometimes none, sometimes 50. I will manage a list of box annotations and add more to the list on an as-needed basis. (Bryan Van de ven suggested toggling visibility in a related thread https://groups.google.com/a/continuum.io/forum/#!mydiscussions/bokeh/Exnb1oE6gz0, so I am slowly realizing that toggling is likely more reliable.)

Thanks for helping out a newbie so quick!
