Focusing the viewpoint on probes in solar system map change?

Once again, I apologise if this was mentioned already or in patch notes, it appears already that I am terrible at reading them.

Pre-expansion, when I was using scan probes from the Solar System Map, I could conveniently and easily change the focal position of the camera onto a scan probe by holding the left mouse button over a probe name, then dragging my mouse a tiny amount and letting go of the mouse button.

This made using scan probes across a big system and being able to accurately zoom in the camera onto a probe formation nice and easy to use.

Now however, it seems as if either this feature has been removed, or once again, I'm doing something terribly wrong!

Is this a bug, a change, an involuntary new feature or just me being dumb again ? Because right now, in the solar system map, the only thing I seem to be able to get my camera to focus on is my current ship location.

So I have just answered my own question. It is now done by double clicking on a probe name.

Well, if it's any consolidation, I did not know this and I use probes a lot. So thanks for posting the answer to the question I would have probably asked around GD myself pretty soon! Lol

It should have been written in the patchnote.

But I do agree that it can be relatively easily found ;)
