SmartDashboard Test mode layout problem

[azaclauson]

I'm attempting to use the SmartDashboard to test the individual commands in my robot program. I am able to use use the default approach of adding a command to the SmartDashboard in the robot program as per below and execute the command BUT only in TeleOperated mode.

SmartDashboard::PutData("Set First Digit", new SetDigitCommand());

Attempting to do the same thing in Test mode results in a panel being added to SmartDashboard, for the Talon motors used in one of my subsystems, that hides the other controls and prevents me from clicking the desired command button.

I'm about to commence looking through the SmartDashboard code but to short circuit that does anyone know of an approach I can use to stop the subsystem panel overwriting other controls in the SmartDashboard?
