Sometimes if you mouse-over an item in your status-screen and then mouse-over in the inventory on a new item they might show the correct data of both items.
Yesterdays it appears that both item where shown but the upper part was still showing the data from another item + the data from the item i had the mous over.
ie: i was looking at a shield in my ship, then i was looking at the disruptocannon MK1 and after that i wanted to compare it to another cannon and it was showing the shield-data + the data from the cannon in my inventory andcompared it with the other cannons i got installed in my ship.
A workaround that I came up with was to take screenshot of the ui then while looking at that screenshot compare it with the item I wanted to. Granted that does take a bit more work involved yet, at least that will allow you to compare items while the bug is still there.
I've noticed that the only thing that helps is to actually open up the screen that contains the item you want it compared to.
So for example, have the ship status window open. Open up your inventory and mouse over a console. It should properly show the comparison. But if you mouse over a kit, it won't show you the other item until you open up your character status.

Some items do this, others don't.
It's really weird, to me as a programmer, why it would do it.
Sometimes ALL kits do it.. then randomly one of my extra kits will show both of them correctly.
It isn't based on where you are at (tried it in all the different sectors)
hopefully it's as simple as a couple lines being doubled down on..

Weird.
I've seen this a lot also.
