(Missed the double click trick. Tried it and it works. Thanks)
(bit of eye strain and use of a notepad program) 
Yeah, weird. It is pointing to that node.
Ok... But now I don't understand what I'm seeing.
There is only this flow (well and a mouse test flow) that use DB-2.0 so I hope it hasn't been used.
Expanding from the pervious piccie.
No mention of HOLD I can see.
OK that is the node you previously mentioned, and you said it never gets sent ui_update.label = "HOLD".
I would clear the browser cache and restart Node-red. Fingers crossed the problem disappears.
Not wanting to dismiss what you said (rebooting is slow.)
Could I try from a private window?
I also may add a new text node and stick it where this one is/was.
(Hang on while I try the private window option)
On ANOTHER track - detected by opening the dashboard in a private window the GUI kinda changes.
See if you can see it
Normal window.
Private window.
(What is this app is offline ready?)
(Sorry... Back to the problem at hand.)
Try a full deploy then open the dashboard in a different browser (An emergency situation like this is surely what God made the Edge browser for)

(The world can't be flat. If it was, the cats would have pushed everything over the edge.)
I know the world is not flat, because when I went to Australia, Orion was upside down.
It might not be scientific proof but it's good enough for me.
Using OPERA....
Same. 
And that message is in the bottom right corner.
Hang on while I replace the node and put a new on in there.
Did you look at the moon?
When I was up there (northern hemisphere) it was interesting looking at it and seeing it the wrong way up.
ARGH! which are the DB-2 nodes? ui- or ui_ ?
Find the node which injects "Test string" and disable it and the widget it connects to.
Is HOLD still there?
Deleted the text node, put in a new one and it all works.
Maybe it is like that problem I had/mentioned a few weeks ago with subflows.
Thanks @jbudd
We scarred the problem away.
That's all that matters, I guess.
Yay! Well done.
Well, the widget from the inject node was said text node.
No HOLD in there.
In your very first screenshot, HOLD was clearly a node's label and Test was the value. Time: was a different widget.
It looks like the offending widget then was the one named State. It has a lot of input wires.
Find them all and change them one by one HOLD 1, HOLD 2, ...
@jbudd
Yeah this PROBLEM manifested itself on two TEXT nodes.
Somehow it went away.
the TIME node only has a 2 inputs.
the STATE node still has a lot.
They are working now to adjust what is shown and it seems to be working.
(See recent picture)

(or)
I did a node-red-restart and the problem was fixed.
Ran the code a couple of times and it worked.
But it all went off the rails when I pressed the HOLD button.
Here's a timeline of screenshots.
All good here.
(well nearly, but we'll let it slide)
I press Test button.
Test complete and show values
See how the time is displayed.
Handy when taking screeshots for tracking when it was.
(I missed the quick screen when it says it is resetting)
Clear all things and back to normal.
Normally when it runs, the results are displayed for 10 seconds then wiped.
ORIGINALLY during this time I would/could press the HOLD button to stop it wiping the data.
I modified the flow so you can press the Hold button before the test is done and it still holds the data.
Now - before pressing the Start button and press the Hold button.
Ideally it should toggle to HOLD, but for reasons unknown when first sent a signal the selection is set to PASS (normal)
See how Pass is now shown where the TIME used to be.
The Pass in the STATUS part is ok, as that is kind of the status.
So, I now press the WIPE button - just to clear things.
Again, this is good as the STATUS is wiped.
but the PASS is somehow locked in the TIME part.
Running the test (pressing Test button)
The results
And the end.
Resetting (Caught the clear message this time)
and back to being ready.
So all the fields have been wiped.
But the TIME is still branded with PASS
Sorry, I goofed and got the PASS changed to HOLD (I think by pressing the HOLD button.
But then the PASS changed to HOLD.
Running
Result
So as you can see this problem is back.
This problem can be resolve if I restart NR.
But that isn't really a nice way to do it.
It seems like a problem I had a few months back.
Something - somewhere - is getting stuck.
I'll try to make a smaller flow to make it happen.
This is a flow (small) that causes the problem.
(Sorry, there is a SUBFLOW in it. Mine.)

This is all good.
I press the Pass button just to the left of where Test is.
A slightly modified script to the one that breaks.
It just adds some text injection too.

Press the PASS node.
See how the text changes.
Press the inject node.
Alas I don't share your enthusiasm for subflows so I'm having trouble working out what the flow does.
However, the label of the Text node "Test" is changed by the message from your Change node "Hold", which sets ui_update.label to HOLD and ui_update.buttonColor to red.
Once the label is changed to HOLD, that's how it stays because there is no other ui_update.label.
Do you want the label or the value to change to HOLD?
If it's the label, you will have to reset it when that status is no longer relevant.
