Hello :3
If you have any UI Extension, that will affect a/many part/s of your UI, hence why the bar will not act accordingly. In case you have that, delete anything related to it and the game shall function properly ^_^. Try a Game repair (Right Click on the game in Origin > Repair) after deleting it, just to make sure.
This issue may also occur if you have merged some mod files with the original game files. If you've ever accepted such pop-up message, then this might be it.
Would you mind telling us:
⤳ expansions owned:
⤳ which was the last expansion you've got:

Have a great rest of the week! 🐱
