Summary0015946: When placing a Fabricator hacker the countdown timer disappears after a few seconds
DescriptionThe countdown timer overlay and the statusline in the upper left corner displaying the hacking progress and AI response vanish after a few seconds when placing a Fabricator hacker on an AI controlled planet. When you place another hacker with a timer it reappears for some seconds and disappears again. Hacking seems to go on and finish despite all that, so it seems to me like it is some sort of graphical glitch only (*not true, see added note below*)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Load the attached save
2. Go to planet "Yarorivo" (marked with "P8") in the lower right of the galaxy map (there's already a hacker in orbit, but it occurs on other planets with a fabricator as well)
3. Place the Fabricator hacker and wait a few seconds (usually 5-10 seconds)

I have to correct myself. The countdown timer counts down to zero while not visible, but neither an AI response is triggered during the countdown nor is the hack finished after the countdown reaches zero. You have to place another hacker in order to trigger the "hack completed" event and actually get the technology.

It didn't occur to me sooner because this is my first game of AI War.
