BUG: Salvage drones sometimes do not automatically clear a room of all wrecks

Title says it all.

Go to room full of wrecks, launch salvage drones, right click on drone group > Salvage.

Drones sit there idle and don't do anything.

Drones are all set to aggressive, focus fire.

Note, manually targetting 1 wreck and hitting salvage makes them salvage that one wreck, then back to idle state.

I've found that sometimes you can workaround this bug by having no wrecks targetted, and hit the salvage option (right click on drone group in space, salvage). But sometimes for some reason, this doesn't work either.

Can we get a "Salvage all wrecks" option on the context menu? And also a bind key for salvage so we can at least hit "F" on a targetted wreck? It's really bad interface design at the moment.

I will create a bug report later, just wanted to make sure it wouldn't be a duplicate bug.

Ive noticed a similar issue. If im running a fleet with my alt in a mission it comes up with the message, no valid wrecks in range (or words to that effect) all the wrecks on grid with me are white. Changing them to blue does not resolve this issue

Still would like some DEV feedback here. Do you need another bug report, or has noone reported this yet? Thanks.

There was some dev feedback in another similar post. I think they have labelled it as a bug, but to be honest having the drones is better than no drones at all. And with all new things in Eve there will be initial teething problems
