Probe Scanner stops refreshing for no discernable reason.

Hi there,

As far as I know I'm not the only one with this issue.

The probe scanner stops auto refreshing randomly during play and you have to force it to refresh by clicking on 'show' down the bottom of the window (even if you have nothing ignored) or by changing the dropdown box back and forth from say, ships back to 'all' again, and then it will show you properly what signatures and anomalies are in the system.

My understanding was that the probe scanner should auto refresh at least when entering a new system/undocking etc, and should autorefresh when I've turned it on to refresh in the radial menu.

Once this bug starts happening, I have to force the window to refresh when I enter a new system otherwise the window will remain blank (even though the brackets for the anomalies/signatures will still appear in space).

Restarting the client allows it to work normally for a while, it's not until you notice that you're seeing a bracket in space but there's nothing in the scanner window that you realise it's stopped refreshing, even the initial refresh on entering a system won't work.
