Hi,

Couldn't find this issue reported anywhere. And yes, I checked known issues from Rubi 1.1 thread.

Anyway, back to my issue:

1) I am in ship a - frigate and warping through systems. I can see anoms in the probe scanner overview.
2) Deciding that I want to do some of these anoms
3) Change ship to b - battle cruiser
4) Undock, and the anoms are not there.
5) Docking the ship b.
6) Undocking again in ship a - all anoms shows again.
7) Docking ship a
8) Undocking ship b - anoms still doesn't show.

To get anoms to show again properly, I had to jump out of the system and back in again with Ship B to get anoms on the overview.

No bug report created.

Anyone else noticed this?

Thanks.

Not sure if this is related to scanner window bug that I have found. I have not reported it as it is so obvious that I can't believe that CCP are not already aware of it. I am surprised that it has yet to be fixed though.

The workaround: When you enter a system and nothing shows on your scanner simply close it and reopen it, you might need to do this more than once. Doing this will normally refresh and the scanner window and show up any anoms / sites in the system. The problem with this workaround? It gets very annoying having to do this if scanning many systems an hour.

‘No, this isn't it at all. Make it more... psssshhhh’.

Tbh it actually sounds like my problem, but we have just two different ways of solving it. (Workaround or whatever you want to call it).

Thanks man, I will test your approach next time, because mine was just to tedious with jumping systems each time I wanted to scan.
