Since LoR, I can't select teammates...

Since the Legacy of Romulus expansion, I've noticed that I don't seem to be able to select team mates by clicking their faces in the team area of the HUD anymore. As a healer-tank I find this frustrating because it makes me have to find the player that needs a heal and try to click on them (no easy task in the middle of a starbase defense furball). I am on a laptop where the function keys are set up as volume controls, etc, so my keybind options are limited. Please restore this functionality so we can select team mates easily again.

Thanks for listening.

    It makes healing in PvP nigh impossible.

    Have to use F1-F5.

    I coped by using the F2 to F6 keys... but I share this problem and would appreciate it being attended to as well.

    You can also right click their portraits to select them, this will bring up the drop down menu but this goes once you choose to throw them a he or shield heal etc.
    Well I can't forget a face but I won't remember y'all.

    Would expect that it is a known issue by now. But I'm wondering how it could get past tribble into live. This is a pretty obvious bug, and probably not much needed to fix as someone probably just forgot to hook the click events to the new UI parts (just me guessing).

    So adopted to the use of the F-keys as well now, hoping this will get fixed soon.

    You have to left-click on the portrait image in the team window to select. If you click anywhere else in the player window, it don't select them.

    Nah, gotta right click em. I spent a whole pvp match trying to desperately left click every square inch of the entire player portrait, health bars, buffs, you name it. Could not select them.

    use the default f1-f4 to select your teammates, or rebind them to 1-4.

    Better yet, bind 1-4 to target the particular teammate -and- throw your shield heal(s) at them and bind alt1- alt4 to target the teammate -and- throw your hull heals at them.

    This is Cryptic's old tradition. They add something nice while end up porking something.
