Something else that is bugging me, is that info on waypoints and any ship icons on map aren't working when mousing over them.
But it seems to come and go.
Makes it hard to plot an intercept course not knowing how long it will take to get to a certain point.
And the other obvious things like no info on a target icon.
But like I said this function sometimes is working and sometimes not.

Seems like it stops working once I've done some TC'ing and then come back to 1x TC.

Edit: Ok, I got it figured. It has to do with the HUD, and whether it's on or off by use of the shift+Z command. Took me a while this evening to figure this out, but what had me fooled is that if I have the HUD shut off by shift+z, and then pull up the map the HUD appears but even so the info system is not on, but hit shift+z and it's back on.
And the same thing happens if with the HUD off and I switch to the external view, again the HUD appears but again the info system is off.
To get it back I have to use shift+z and it's back on just as in the map view.

So I suppose the real bug is the HUD appearing when the map or external view activated, but though it appears to be on, it actually is not. At least the info system associated with it is not, even though the HUD is displayed.
