An error Icon should overlay the question mark

In a CSM HA Configuration (Standby Server is configured) it is the case that if this server is down that a question mark is displayed at the top menu (e.g. at the “Storage” Menu bar”). So far so good.
If now an outage happens (e.g. from one storage controller) I would expected that the red error cross is displayed at the top Menu for the “Storage” topic. But this wasn't the case. It was still the question mark displayed. Only if I drill down to the “Storage Systems” Sub Menu, one controller was marked as disconnected. However, the main menu was still displaying the Question mark. I think in that case that an error cross should overlay the question mark because it is more important in that case.
Beside the behavior which is described above, I had seen, that “DS8000 Path” Errors not shown correct with an error cross at the Top Menu “Paths”. I will upload some screenshots as well where you can see the wrong behavior.
