Icons not appearing in notification area

[jhilker]

I just noticed that on my P8 my icons look different. The whole space is blank except for a dot just to the right of the camera. Then, when I slide down to see notifications, they all show up. I wonder if this is a bug, or a new feature? How's I'm explaining this right

... And now they are back! Very odd. I had even tried clearing all my notifications to see if that was the issue, but it hadn't made a difference.
