Looks like a JYK problem.

We handle them correctly (eg showing the partials that are forced) but might not handle the edge case of the setting being 'None' because almost no bluray ever uses partially forced subtitles.

Do you have a link to the issue? I can't seem to find it:

I agree with this in the strictest sense of "as designed", but from a convenience and usability standpoint it is no good. I think part of Kodi's design should be to look out for streams that abuse the "forced" flag and ignore it in that case. It's unrealistic to expect users to take on the burden of modifying the streams themselves.
I'm also still curious why Kodi's behavior differs from other software such as VLC. Are they implementing checks for abusive forced flags, or do they ignore the flag entirely?

AFAIK, it is proper for a BR disc to provide a PGS sub with just the forced text included OR a PGS sub with the entire language included and individual images set to forced. BR player should work with either one. OP issue was with a BR that had been ripped to mkv. So if there is a problem, ISTM the logical place to look is at the ripping program used to make the mkv. Though now VobSub is being dragged into the thread (I assume though the logic works the same for PGS sub or vob).
