I noticed that switching to map view immediately shuts down the thrust of the currently controlled vehicle. I partially suspect that this is a bug but I am labelling this as a question because its consistency and the fact it visually updates the engine control menu makes it look like it is a design choice. If anyone knows, please tell me

not a bug as such. It is because in map view by default you are not controlling your vessel. If you hit Tab in map view it will control your vessel

May I chime in to suggest to invert the default behavior? When doing manual maneuvers, for whatever reason, having camera controls on by default instead of rocket could lead to potentially undesirable situations. Don't know about others, but for me personally dragging the camera around with WASD is a secondary thing.
