It sometimes occurs, that the animation for the TLs, the little shiny rings, are -inside- the lane, in the perfect middle of it, not between the 4 things it should be at.
Same thing applies to rear view. If you switch from a transport/cap to a fighter without restarting FL and then use rear view you'll see a bigger area behind you. Some people say it's "bug abuse" but I honestly can't see why... Anyways, easiest way is restarting FL after you've been on your transport/cap/used a nom lane. Then you'd see everything just fine.
