Decloaking Ship Shield Facing Display bug?

I ran a search for this issue but found no hits.

Whenever a cloaked ship decloaks and enters combat, only its shield facings which absorb weapon fire actually get displayed around the ship -- the remaining undamaged shields remain invisible.

I assumed that the problem would eventually be fixed, but fast forward a few months later and the issue is still unresolved, so perhaps I'm one of the few individuals encountering this bug? I noticed that this issue affected both my Fed's T5 Defiant and Klingon's T5 BoP, so it's present on both sides.

Is there a setting which allows all shield facings to be properly displayed after decloaking?

BTW, I'm using a laptop with two nvidia 8800m-GTX's in SLI mode running low graphics settings, 2x AA, and high lighting quality. I tried recommended medium settings with the same results.

Is anyone else encountering this issue?

    Patch notes from 15 October have this:

    - Klingon shield bars now display correctly.

    Was this suppose to be the fix for this issue?

    If this issue was supposedly fixed in the 10/15 patch, then the fix didn't work, because this thread was started 10/17 to report the ongoing issue. The problem is present for all cloaking ships, even the Fed T5 Defiants.

    Same problem here as well. Thought it was because of the ATI video card since my old laptop with an nVidia card didn't exhibit the shield glitch. Downloading the latest update now .... may fix this issue.

    Current laptop Alienware M17X R2 with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 with the latest drivers
