System map glitches

Well, I haven't seen it mentionned so far...
1- The green line linking probes in system map disappears when I jump to another system. It's a minor glitch, but I find it handy to align probes on a signature.

Steps to reproduce:
- undock,
- open map and switch to solar system if set to star map, launch probes and open scanner,
- watch the green line linking probes as you move them around,
- close map (don't forget to collect the probes) and jump to another system,
- open map and launch probes,
- ... is there a green line linking probes?

I've experienced this bug since I started Eve (less than a month).
If I dock in a station and undock, the green line is back, so I assume it has something to do with the scanner window being open, as it closes when I dock, though I don't remember if the same issue happened with scanner window closed before jumping to another system, should try that when I get home.

Another issue when scanning systems...
2- Sometimes the signatures can be clicked to center the view on it, like planets gates, belts markers, etc. but then become "unclickable" after another scan and for a few runs. Clicking a probe's name can work around it, and is far more convenient than just pan/zoom/spin across the system, but I'd rather have it working or removed than working now and then. And I only talk about small red dots or yellow markers, not huge spheres or circles signatures, obviously.

Confirmed, jumping to another system with scanner window open causes the glitch, but closing it before the jump revents it from happening.

I have this problem too, have you reported the bug?
