Sector Space Travel/Course Setting Bug

A bug I've noticed, since the patch, traveling through Sector Space, specifically when doing the "Tour of the Galaxy", it often takes two or three times, setting course to planets.
For example, if my ship is traveling from"Lirss", towards "Nimbus" & I set course for Nimbus, the ship will instead set course for toward Hobus or the where Romulus is location (or used to be located, I should say). This happens very often, causing my ship to set wrong course.

It's a real pain!!
As for the map not closing, I'm all for this during TTG! YEAH!! If the map is in the way, resize it and move it to the side a bit and you can still see your impending collision with your destination star(s).
I'm having this problem as well. Though for me the autonav from planet to planet will either target the alpha quad for the old beta quadrant. Or it head to traelas in the old Qo'nos and Taw Dewa sectors. Either way you have to double up on the nav to make it go in the direction you want.
As for the map not closing. We can keep that. I can watch my impending faceplant in to said system on the minimap.
+1
Why make the UI interactions even more awkward? The old behavior was perfect: Press M for the map, click on a destination, and done. The map autocloses and you're off, free to engage slipstream and/or make camera/course adjustments, look at the DOFF assignment window, etc. No need for a second keypress just to get rid of the map window obstructing your view.
"Anyaway, we don't often see a sense of humor in Section 31."
Another example of this happening, is when traveling between Teneebia & Orion & I set course for Orion, instead of traveling straight to Orion, my ship turns toward the Alpha Quadrant instead. This should not be happening this often. I've noticed, that it's most prevalent, during Tour of the Galaxy, then any other mission in the game.
Keep in mind the first planet is where my ship would be at & the 2nd planet would be the destination.
Ferenginar ->Tellar
Tellar -> Chapel
DS9 -> Arawath
Arawath -> Defara
Tzenkth -> Mizar
Mylasa -> New Romulus
Sanek -> Pheben
Alini ->Lirss
Lirss -> Nimbus
Orion -> Risa
Risa -> Argelius
There are probably other sections that this happens as well, but these are the most common occurrences for me.
I start this in the beta quad. I can complete it with the bug with about a minute and thirty seconds left. I just went Orion ~> Alpha Quad.
Started at Chapel in Alpha Quad and just let it run. As my first post said one took me to the andoss system. This time letting ir run it has me aimed at some point in the unnamed/unexplored section below the Alpha Quad on the galaxy map. So on this I don't know where it's trying to take me.
This bug only happens to me if I stop at a target system. If I target and order the ship to go to the next system before I claim the first it's OK.
