Order of Battle - control panel obscures unit exit point

In Order of Battle, how can I move or remove the status / control panel in the bottom centre of the screen? I don't see anything relevant in the Options and there seems to be no key combo. It obscures the unit exit points in the 'Afrika Corp' Luftwaffe scenario, and I can't get units off the map. Appreciate any help (Screenshot attached).
Thanks.

This will be fixed in the next patch.

How exactly will this be fixed?

Thanks very much, Erik2. Look forward to seeing that.
All the best and otherwise enjoying the game a lot.

Aha, I've seen the 'hide UI' option mentioned in some thread.
I have the same issue with deployment hexes along the left map edge. A work-around is to zoom all the way in so that you see a glimpse of the hex in question.
May not work for everybody's default screen resolution, though (I use a 4k monitor and have set the max zoom in/out to 100/10),

A toggle switch is definitely the way to go. However, it is not readily apparent that the developers will include one anytime soon. If I had to guess, I would think that they will restore the "#videomode on/off" cheat code for this purpose. A bit cumbersome, but effective. It fell by the wayside in the UI upgrade for version 8.4.1.
