Issues, Workarounds & Localization

I've written about this before, but it is yet to be fixed and frustrates me just about every day.

When a site is visited in a system, be it an anomaly, wormhole, or whatever else, a label is helpfully added to the system map to show where and what you have visited. This is indeed helpful, or at least it would be if the label itself didn't then render the right-click context menu unavailable.

When mousing over a visited location with a system map label, the bookmark tooltip does not reveal itself, and neither does right-clicking bring up the context menu. This makes the actual location completely opaque in relation to every other location of the same type. One wormhole cannot be distinguished from another, because they all have the same label of 'Unstable Wormhole', and no amount of mousing-over or right-clicking can tell me what I called the bookmark. The same is true of anomalies.

This bug makes it very frustrating when trying to orientate myself in a system with multiple wormholes, or even two. When covertly monitoring ship movements it is imperative to know which direction they head, but even seeing their vector of warp is useless when I open my system map and can't follow them, whether it's because I can't get the tooltip to see which bookmarked wormhole they've headed to, or can't right-click the wormhole and select the warp-to option because the label obscures this.

I have looked in the world map control panel and have tried to turn off these labels, but even with every label and hint turned off the wormhole/site labels persist, meaning that I have no recourse but suffer the continued frustration until this bug is fixed.

This is on the Mac client.
