This is a longstanding bug. IIRC, it only occurs when the tempo list pane is open.
Don't you get bothered when this term shows up in threads?
Yes, it's somewhat irksome that dumb bugs like this can hang around for so long, but I understand that it's not possible to get to everything, and that the Bakers have to prioritize. Part of that process is considering how frequently it's reported, how troublesome/damaging it is, and whether it has an easy workaround. The fact that this one comes up so rarely on the forum is indicative of the low impact/frequency of the issue. And it's just a display issue that has an easy workaround, though that might not be immediately obvious.
The bottom line is that I just choose not to sweat the small stuff that I know how to avoid or work around. But I *do* feel for users that haven't been using Cakewalk/SONAR for decades, and don't know all the little quirks.
