//mild rant
Currently running TS2019 (build 114800). This and previous builds all used the "new" Surveyor menu with the GIANT icons. Firstly, I wonder why they are so doggone BIG? It is annoying to have to scroll for a while through 2" x 2" icons to get to the latter portions of the list of routes. Secondly is the annoying "return to the first route" syndrome when you delete a route near the end of the list. When I build on a route, due to the occasional CTD, I save a route every five minutes, giving it a new--numerically serialized--name. This creates a section on the horizontally-scrolling list of (a lot) of the same route, but one number higher. Since I save only the last three, each and every one I delete preceding those three will cause the entire list to shift back to the first entry in the list. VERY annoying. Now, I realize I could simply exit Surveyor and call up the CM and delete them there, and I sometimes do that, but for the most part, I do it in the list of routes.
Another annoying thing is viewing DLS content. The same thing happens if you select one of the entries to view. You are dumped into a page with all the content details (but nowhere discoverable that allows me to actually download it). Once I finish the page and want to go back to the list, I am dumped right at the beginning of the list once more and have to page-page-page-page back to where I was.
Both these interfaces need to be looked at and revised.
