reported F10 View: Binocular icon persistence

[Worrazen]

The binocular icon keeps persisting showing and earlier controlled unit using it while it is not being controlled anymore, however I'm not sure if units that were controlled should remain the user's configuration until commanded otherwise, so I guess it may be fine if the unit would continue to actually use it while not commanded like for example keeping the IR laser on a target, but the problem is, when the unit is issued an order to move the icon keep displaying that last location when it was controlled by the player using the binoculars, furthermore it's not possible to keep the IR Marker going once control is lost, perhaps this could make sense when CA gets updated.

The icon will disappear once you use another unit with bincoulars.

 

Secondly, a bit more importantly, exiting mission while in binoculars and reloading a totally different mission, but using the same terrain, keeps the binoculars icon in that position while there is no any unit associated with it there. The icon will however disappear once you use binoculars with another unit, and the cycle repeats, unless you exit binoculars before doing anything else.

@Worrazen Nice find!

The two issues are 100% reproducible:

1. binoculars icon doesn't go away nor moves when its vehicle is ordered to move,
2. once the binoculars icon is "stuck" this way, it will keep showing even when loading another mission as long as it takes place in the same theatre.

Oh yeah thanks for your extra confirmation, I got a bit to occupied with some other stuff I couldn't provide more visual evidence at the time.
