UI/UX Science Counter Shows in All Views After Visiting R&D

I have noticed some occasions where the science counter normally seen in the KSC view, R&D center, and Mission Control will appear in other views after entering the R&D center even once. This is a minor nuisance as it's a small enough element to not cover much of the screen, though in flight mode it does slightly overlap the vessel resources display. 

This is fairly straightforward to reproduce:

1. Load exploration mode game
2. Enter the VAB, Training Center, and Tracking Station to observe there is NOT a science counter in the top right of the screen
3. Launch the Kerbal K0 from a launchpad to enter flight mode, and verify there is also NOT a science counter in the top right of the screen
4. Use the ESC menu to the R&D Center
5. Return to the KSC again, then enter the VAB, Training Center, and Tracking Station once more
   • A science counter should now be present in all of these buildings: The attached screenshot shows a collage of the science counter in places it's not expected
     • In the VAB, the counter seems to be present, but hidden behind the save/load buttons (thank goodness it's not the other way around!)
6. In the tracking station, take control of the Kerbal K0 launched before, the science counter should also be visible in flight view now

I would expect the science counter to not be present in the VAB, Training Center, Tracking Station, and flight view both before and after entering R&D.

It seems that, regardless of the exact steps taken, if you ever visit R&D at all, the science counter will then appear in every single scene, even where it shouldn't. Perhaps the element is never removed from the UI after being created. But this begs the question of why the counter only appears in the wrong places after visiting R&D specifically (there is a counter in mission control, but visiting mission control instead of R&D in step #4 does not cause the bug to happen!).
