I am finding the new interface extremely hard to use. Each of my probes in space has a large area around it which if I click it will warp the camera there: "Probe 11", "Probe 13" etc.
The problem is that from most angles, these circles overlap with the cube that I am trying to click on to move it around in space. I just keep clicking the probe circles. I don't want to be able to select the probes, at all. They're useless, and they keep getting in my way to the point where I am hating scanning.
Also, I can no longer scan on the old map, at all. The blue sphere does not appear, the cube does not appear. Scanning on the old map is impossible.
Please give me a way to make the probes non-selectable, and I'll be good. Until then I will loathe scanning. It has gone from a quick, simple, painless task to a ghastly, horrible, fiddly chore; a fight against a UI that I do not want to use.
Please take my feedback into account, and give us back a pain-free scanning interface. Thank you.

My thanks to CCP Goliath and Sasha Sen for pointing this out. With that fixed, I'm back to about 75% as effective at scanning as I used to be. My main remaining problems are the same as have been called out several times:
- It's too hard to click the edge of the blue bubble to resize it.
- It's still too hard to click and move the cube, too easy to click on something else nearby.
- The thin coloured lines aren't as clear as the thick lines were. It's ambiguous if they mean the signal above or below them, especially when there are lots of hits.
- The new interface still feels more cluttered and confusing than the old one.
All that said, it's getting better. I too appreciate the dev team's engagement.
Regards,

Log in
Equip probe launcher, load combat probes
Warp to safe, launch probes
Expected result: I'd like my probes to be on my map to use
Press 'Alt' and the cube will appear. Hopefully that's a bug that will be fixed. |

I've been doing this a lot today. Very annoying.
