Since Larian refuse to improve the UI just as they refuse to improve the awful party controls, one can only hope that modders will fix the issue for them (or rather for us) once the game goes live.
I'm guessing that the architect at Larian that came up with the UI is the same person that came up with, and refuses to acknowledge that, the current party controls is one of the worst to ever be conceived in a video game. And that someone seems to have some real influence and control over the development of the game unfortunately.
