Spoke too soon. Fix didn't fix.

For those that use GWX, this is how bad/strange it can be. If you are familiar with Lorient Harbor, and what U-boat Kaleun isn't, when you set sail for a patrol you leave the slip and go up and hang a right at the U-Boat Pens. Usually there is a French Small Merchant anchored there. In Map mode, at night, you can get to within 300 meters from where the Merchant is usually anchored and not see it. If you go to the Bridge and scan to the right you can see it sitting there. Go back to map mode and it isn't there.
Go back to the Bridge and there it is, go to UZO mode find it and lock on the Merchant and finally when you go back to map mode there it is.

That can get you killed in the Atlantic vicinity.
