Map icons disappearing after dungeon - any hints what causes it?

Anyone else get from time to time most the map icons disappearing after exiting a dungeon?

Not every icon, like some random boss markers, etc will stay but the truly important ones like shrines, etc will be gone - making porting impossible other than random port to friend/guild list. Can't click a shrine to port as no icons.

Not constant or always after every dungeon, just sometimes - seems random and no specific action I can remember that triggers it. Normally, would just triage addons by disabling them one by one or in groups, till problem solved. But problem here is the long sequence and randomness to trigger problem. Removing addons one or even few at a time will take quite a long while.

On off chance someone else has already solved this, any experience getting rid of this? Wasn't happening pre-update and no new addons, although obviously have updated bunch to new versions.

p.s. for whatever reason, never happens to me coming out of other instance types like delves or trials, just 4man dungeons.

    Out of curiosity, is this when you use a wayshrine and see the map, or is it when you call up the map on your own?

    The reason I ask is because something sort of similar happens when I grab a mission from a mission board in Cyrodiil, head to the transitus shrine, and use it-- the map it displays does not show things like the farms and mines and lumbermills around the various keeps.

    But if I call up the map on my own, they're there, because my character's map filter preferences for Cyrodiil are set so I can see them-- and if I then use the transitus shrine again, they're there!

    This leads me to suspect that whatever is causing that behavior (which, admittedly, may have no bearing on your case) might have something to do with the map filters and the wayshrine maps-- that maybe something happens in the game that clears the wayshrines' map filter settings (if that makes sense) and your character's map filter preferences don't get copied back to them (if that's a thing) until you call up the map on your own.

    That scenario might sound a bit sketch, because I don't have any knowledge of how everything is programmed in the game. But I suspect that with global program variables, and functions that have their own local variables, and functions that call other functions, etc., etc., it's not completely outside the realm of possibility that sometimes unexpected things happen and other times expected things don't happen. :#

    For me it is consistently after I exit a dungeon, so haven’t even clicked on shrine yet.

    -enter dungeon with all map labels, icons, lore books shown, etc
    -sometime during dungeon run or after I exit, map has lost most icons including navigation ability via shrines

    A reloadui always fixes it but annoying given this happens common enough it is fairly frequent. Not all the time, just happens enough to be fairly common
