Description

There appears to be two fence breach messages being displayed on the MP HUD.
"Fence Breach" works as expected.
"Geofence Breach" is displayed unexpectedly when Fence_Channel is off. (and Fence_Action 1,2,or3)
During a true fence breach both messages are displayed.

In addition it would be handy in the HUD (User Items maybe) to have some indication whether the fence is on/off and a message of "No Fence" if there is a Fence_Action > 0 and Fence_Total = 0 (and Fence_Channel >0)?

Research direction

Start in the Mission Planner MP HUD handling for the "Fence Breach" and "Geofence Breach" messages, using Fence_Channel, Fence_Action, and Fence_Total as the reproduction inputs. Reproduce the unexpected message with Fence_Channel off, then verify that a true breach shows the intended message and that the requested "No Fence" indication is addressed if included in scope.
