I've been playing as the HRE in the Charlemagne start, and found a peculiar situation that I didn't see in my Byzantine playthrough: I will get independence revolts, and even if I win the revolt (100% war score enforce demands, not white peace), I will actually get some of my vassals with their own colors on the map - even though I am still technically their top liege. And after a while (I suppose after succession but I haven't checked) they DO go fully independent.
Is there a good reason for this happening, like some law or a mechanic I haven't seen? Because it's super frustrating (especially since I've been excommunicated and getting shittons of revolts) just getting chunks of my mainland leaving even when I win, and I'm fully prepared to just get them back by console if it's just a bug.
