Right panel > Functions > Orbit lines.

I am unable to toggle the Orbit Lines off on the right-control panel. In fact there are several options on that tab that wont toggle. Anyone else having this problem?

I'm also having problems with the Galaxy Map. The 'Faster Route' for jump data doesn't do anything, and the 'Map' button on the 'View' tab doesn't work at all. I can't use any of the trading of filter options. I ticketed it all, but I was wondering if I'm the only one with these issues.

I don't have these problems and I don't remember reading about them on the official forums.

I would try Options > Validate Game Files from the launcher. It would fix your install if some files are corrupt.

I had this problem in Beta. Are you using a hat switch to navigate the panels? Because there's up down left right and also next/last tab. It threw me when I saw the fire groups panel but when I wanted to set up the next group I'd press the hat switch right only to be put on the next menu. Now, without looking at the game I can't remember which is which but you need a separate button/key binding for next/previous tab than left right up down. I know I'm wording this really badly. Just back from a party and a bottle of Port onboard. I hope this helps.

I'm an expert keyboard and mouse player, so I don't have this problem.

Thanks for the responses, but I'm pretty sure it's not the hat switches. I use keyboard and flightstick, and assigned the Tab Cycle buttons to my keyboard. They all worked fine before. It was just shortly after gamma released that I noticed some (not all) of the Function toggles stopped work. That was about the same time the Galaxy Map started having problems too.

I had that problem with the map as well. Was stuck with the economic route since launch. Deleting the custom.misc file in C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Player fixed it for me.
