PC Wrong Esc Behaviour In Map View

Hello,

while playing a service in the journey on and patch grade which needs a lot of switching I noticed an unexpected behaviour:

When opening the map with 9 the UI states, that the map can be closed by pressing ESC. This is true, it does bring you out of the map view, however it also immediately opens up the pause menu (like ESC does when not in map view). This is rater annoying, since I always instinctively hit ESC to leave the map and have to press it again to get out of the pause menu

 

Simply press "9" again to return to the game. No need to press "escape".

 

Yep - it is annoying, especially given it tells you to press esc to return to the game. This has been a thing since when it was called CSX Heavy Haul (I may be mis-remembering but I don't remember it being in the semi-open beta) so I'm surprised it's lasted this long.
