I think the icon widget has a slight bug in it (see screenshot)

At least some of the icons remained even when the units were in sight

When you're between the range where units show up and the icon shows up, units sometimes turn to little blocks of static. Don't know if that's cause by a widget or engine problem or what.

This is called far-texture, and it is an engine future, and that it does not work is an engine bug. The bug report for it is here:

maybe you add a comment with your screenshot and your ssytme specs (graphic card is most interesting in this case).

engine bug not widget. the widget doest draw the icon themself, it limits to replace the picture in memory ( you can test yourself by disabling the widget after being loaded and the replaced icons will still be in place )
