Good afternoon Stacey and welcome to the Events Calendar Support forum!
Thank you for reaching out to us.
I would love to help you with this topic.
Actually, this is not so much a bug as a consequence of the increased number of columns in wp-admin when the SEO plugin is added.
Simply put, at some point, the different columns are literally fighting for limited space.
The solution is to disable unwanted column using Screen options as you have already found out. It does not have to be specifically the SEO ones, but the goal is to focus on the columns you need exclusively.
Best regards,
Geoff B.
