mm perhaps you are just not targeting her the whole time? I mean when you click on her and start attacking, doesn't the health bar reappear?

[Medamanaman]

No, in each case I had fired off Immolate/FrostNova/DfA as soon as they were ready, plus continuous ArcLightning, and in these two cases there was no big bar at all.

So, if no one else has this problem with ...42, I suppose it's just another conflict between my particular configuration and the game.

I do, after all, have a second "optical" problem, which, when I asked support directly about it (before I found the forum), was apparently unknown to them:

after prolongued playing, screen areas that are more or less uniform in colour, suddenly acquire a background - some previous scene, which may actually look nice, but can also be quite bothersome, as in the patches of fog in some stories.
Here's an example (I've cleared data, rebooted and reinstalled several times, without change):

I had a pretty similar issue recently on my android mobile after a game reinstall. Was seeing the trial progression in the background just like you.
However the glitch went away after restarting the game.

It happened again, this time with my Push character on TL105, three times in succession - and again it took much more time than usual to bring Kara down, with me having to fire off a LOT of Shatters/Frostbeams.
