Pressing M causes a lit engine to stop

[YGTE]

Not sure if this was intended, but when switching to map view with an already lit engine, tested on all craft, the engine stops.

Probably intended. You need to press tab before you can control the craft in map view.

This caught me out as well. Aimed retrograde, fired up the engine, went to map view to see where I was going to land, and the engine stopped.

Probably intended. You need to press tab before you can control the craft in map view.

I fear it may cause more trouble than it's worth it. I say control craft should be default when opening the map, only from there you can tab it to navigate the camera around the map.

I don't like this behavior at all. its counter to games that precede it and how you gonna screw up your burn just by switching to map view.

While I don't know for sure, this does very much feel like intended behavior. So I'd probably say this is a feature request/suggestion?

I agree with others, though. This does get quite annoying when planning nodes, switching back to craft view, starting a burn, and then switching back to map to view the trajectory. This will become more of an issue with staging. During burns, I prefer the map view, but when staging, I like to switch back to craft view to make sure staging happens properly.

If this is intended and here to stay as default behavior, perhaps a setting to disable this behavior would be nice.
