Okay, I tried all of 4 of those items and it's still doing it. And I tried a new save it was doing it there too.
I did notice something though, in the past when I did it I would see the image you posted and I would move it up towards the top of my screen so I could monitor it while in my base. But now when I click on them, they flash at the top of the screen and just leaves that vertical bar(s).
Could it have something to do with pinning me pinning the UI up there somehow? Is that a setting in options or something maybe?
