Right-clicking a distant celestial body in map view should prioritise the body, not crafts in its SOI

*SOI being sphere of influence, of course.

I don’t know if this is a problem only I’m dealing with, or if anyone has suggested this before, but it’s kind of annoying for me (if only a small problem).

I have Jeb on a mission from Kerbin to Laythe, using gravity assists at Eve and Kerbin to get a Jool encounter. I also have craft already landed or in orbit around these bodies. When I am zoomed out in map view and I go to right-click on a planet to either focus it or set it as target (if not already focused), the right-click menu that pops up is always for a craft in that SOI, not the planet itself.

Eg if Jool is not focused and I right-click on it to set as target (especially while zoomed way out), then even while hovering the cursor as it shows “Jool” under the cursor, the right-click will always open for one of my craft in Jool orbitinstead (ie focus on that craft or set as target). So what I have to do is focus on the craft, zoom all the way into it until I can see Jool itself rather than the icon for it, then right click on Jool to finally set it as target, then zoom all the way out to plan my manoeuvre node. It’s more cumbersome than it should be.

I just think that if you’re zoomed out in map view to see ie the whole Kerbol system, then if you right click on any celestial body, it should always prioritise the body itself, not the craft in that system. I don’t see why it should prioritise craft. I hope that makes sense.
