Description
I've noticed for some time that the "Gauges" tab (and others) are always initially visible on the flight data screen when MP is first started event though I've configured them to not be visible. If I then right-mouse-button click >> customise the tabGauges is unchecked and if I then close this screen , the Gauges tab disappears. I think MP isn't correctly initialising the visibility of these tabs on startup.
Edit: I've just found that if I switch to the Config/Tuning screen and then back to Flight Data the Gauges tab re-appears so the issue happens more often than just at startup.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by starting Mission Planner with the Gauges tab disabled, then switch from Config/Tuning back to Flight Data. Trace the Flight Data tab visibility and customization state; done means disabled tabs remain hidden both at startup and after returning to the screen.
