[Bug] [Crash] User Interface: Flag Control Bar Not Disappearing

When the Flag Control bar is on screen at death, it freezes in place and remains on screen until the flag is scrolled over again upon respawn. Upon reexamining after respawn, the frozen bar disappears and the new bar appears in the correct area on the screen. This is repeatable by me.

It can also cause the game to crash if Flag Control changes from one side to the other during the respawn. This has not been repeatable by me since I updated my graphics and sound drivers to a newer version. I'll update if I can cause it to happen again.

Edit: I can now confirm that losing control from one side to the other during the repawn timer while the flag capture timer is frozen causes the game to freeze up and crash on at least my system.

The bar not disappearing has been seen before, but that crash is very odd. I'll see if I can test it out in the next few days.

I've had something similar where the flag bar freezes on the screen and persist frozen through death.

After ressurection I try to scroll over the flag, however the frozen bar does not disappear, instead i see a frozen bar and the bar below the flag functioning correctly.
