Greetings Scott,

A product's display label will disappear if its data isn't available for a 
given time step but other data included in the display still exists. Perhaps 
this is what you are seeing? I'll ask around on Monday to see if anyone has a 
grasp on how often this is an issue, although a brief look through past IDV 
tickets and replies indicates it's a known problem (unfortunately, one with no 
known solution); one user even reported an approximate 1 and 10 dropout rate.

Cheers,

Sean
