for the 2nd time that it was incorrect, the position line also disappeared.
This is the reason for the problem. When you see this happen, go to Trade >> Trade Orders and Positions >> Positions tab. Do you see the Position displayed there and is the symbol correct?

We are aware of no outstanding problems unless the Interactive Brokers account has multiple subaccounts. But whether you would experience a problem or not, we have absolutely no idea. One user reported a problem but we do not know if others would. So it is not something that we would officially document especially being we have no understanding of why it is happening.

Is there an issue of time and how long in a trade you are?
No.

I am also worried that with Sierra trying to update trade positions every 4 seconds which is what I read in another posting, what happens in those seconds before it updates?
This is not the case. The Trade Position data is updated by Interactive Brokers as it changes unless your TWS account has multiple subaccounts. In that case, the Positions are updated when Sierra Chart receives a fill. The whole thing really is kind of silly that we have to go through such an effort.
