[Campaign][Pins on map do not show after completed mission][8.5.4]

After a mission is completed and the game takes you back to the campaign map, no "pins" (resulting from previously completed bonus objectives) are shown:
The pins only appear after saving and reloading the game:
Not sure if this is just a graphical error or if the bonus provided by the pins are actually not given without a prior reload.

You need to specify which campaign/scenario.

Watch the screenshot(Demyansk-March 1942) and anyway it’s a general problem no matter what scenario or campaign.

There was a prob earlier with pins, but thought to be fixed. We check if this or a variation of it resurfaced.
Usually this does not affect the bonus, so provided you achieved the goal you don't lose the reward when the pin is not showing.
edit: reloading an older save from Red Steel into 854 I do get a pin though for Kerch evacs, so I'm not sure it's a general prob. Still we take a look.
mk53v3n, can you drop us a note which version/platform you are using, I mean it's 8.5.4 for Mac/PC/Steam/Gog/Slitherine?

I have it, too. BUT it's "just" a
graphical issue since the v8.4.4 update.
Many screens/data/stats are not reloading/refreshing "realtime", but need either a switch to another unit (e.g. strength points) or a scen reload to show (e.g. campaign pins and many objective counters).
I'm working with 8.5.4 PC/Steam.

I have found the problem.
If you go to the specialization board, the pins will never be displayed but if you do not go to the specialization board the pins will be displayed.
I will bring more explications later.

I am greatly encouraged by the interactivity demonstrated here.

After completed mission, you can have the Specialisation Points dialog box:
- Pins(1).jpg (547.66 KiB) Viewed 1317 times
If the answer is yes to the question (which is usually the case), after closing the specialisation panel, the pins do not appear:
- Pins(2).jpg (610.55 KiB) Viewed 1317 times
If the question is answered no, the pins appear:
- Pins(3).jpg (620.77 KiB) Viewed 1317 times

Thanks very much, Mr. T, this workaround actually works very well.
Still, it's a workaround and the underlying issue should be fixed.
