Hi
There are two main cases here
If you are in setup, this is normal, and the units _should_ on the map somewhere (you need to press 'F' to find them)
if you are not in setup, this is 'normal' if the units have exitted the map or been killed (there is no _next_ unit to show, so the screen doesn't move, but the status bar is updated.)
Otherwise ?????

Anthony states the case in a fuller manner than I did in my first posting. There are two situations where legimimate units will appear on the H-menu but not on the map when you click and leave the menu: The units are passengers on aircraft - usually the a/c are piled up in one corner and the game doesn't want to go there, not even to point at the hex.
The other is so obvious I almost don't want to cite it but will anyway: The units are reinforcements and won't be on the map for x-many turns. Infiltrators also won't show up before their time and occasionally during a campaign the game will confuse the two, in one case calling a Flak 88 an infiltrator. Mighty big piece of hardward to sneak behind enemy lines, what? After a reboot of game or two, didn't even have to make a new steel.prf file, the game resumed sanity by showing the 88 as a reinforcement.
