Hi @WipeIt7314 !

Sorry for the delay. Thank you for your detailed ticket, we are now tracking this issue ≧(´▽`)≦

I have realized why this happens. Basically, your tech_tree_preview panel need to be overlapping with your techtree button / civ emblem to enable the toggle function.

Also, please improve the quality of this nice feature. We would like to see the current researched tech instead of the max tech. And a military unit icon is more intuitive than a military tech icon.
