Activity Launch (dashboard) starting room no action panel load

The issue I am having is when I select an Activity IE: “Watch Directv” the first time from the Dashboard to startup/powerup the room the activity runs but fails to go to the action panel for directv. IT works fine anytime after that IE: switching between other activities. I am stumped on what might be causing this.

The activity is simple and goes like this.

Power - Marantz AVR, Set INput, Set Vol
Power - Directv
Power - Epson Projector
Run - Inline Activity that controls lighting (hue/lutron)

*Confirm Command is OFF.
