Burn timer not updated after changing engine thrust values

You can't see how long a burn will take or the dV requirement until you plot a maneuver. If, lets say, your maneuver requires only a small dV and you have very large engines, you might want to dial back the thrust on those engines so you don't miss the stop time. Doing so however, does not update the burn time or the resulting maneuver trajectory (since nodes are at the start of the burn rather than the center) so executing it would result in you shifting the center of your burn further away then what you see and as a result, throwing your trajection way off.

Expected result: Changing engine parameters should result in a new calculation of burn time.

Feature request: Add remaining dV to the UI so instead of seeing a burn dV requirement, you see a remaining dV or a combination such as 70/70 dv at the start of the burn and 20/70 dV after burning off 50 dV. This way, we have something a little more precise to use than a meter bar with very thick increment lines.
