In the future, I would suggest that in the release notes it is called out that something like this is a bug and will be fixed in a future release. Cause even as an software developer, I thought that this behavior was going to be permanent based on how the lack of wording.

And no, the pause would not be 'slight' when you pull it up if you only load that data when you pull up the panel. For some players in some cases(those who do a lot of skirmishes) it would be minutes.
