"Visible by default" is being ignored by elements on load.

Hi, I am using Dynamics 365 and have set (on two separate entities) sections to be initially hidden unless certain other fields on the form are filled in. Yet some of the sections are ignoring the setting and showing up regardless.

For example, on one form, I have a tab and a section set to be hidden by default, and only show up if a drop-down list has a certain value.
When I load the form up, the tab is hidden as it should be, yet the section still shows.
If I change the drop-down field value to any other value than the default, the code kicks in and either shows the correctly hidden tab, or hides the section that should already be hidden.

I have the same situation on one other entity too. Every other entity works properly where I've hidden things on initial page load.

Is there anything in a form that could force a section to ignore the "Visible by default" checkbox only on load? 

I even tried writing a bit of Javascript to force the sections to hide OnLoad of the page. The code runs but still doesn't hide the section. Yet the exact same code, when run OnChange of a field does hide the section!?

Any ideas what I can try to force these sections to automatically be hidden when the page first loads?

The second page, I've changed it so that the drop-down list has its initial value set to the one that makes the section visible, then when it is changed, both sections hide.
