Participating in the current trade CG and I noticed a pretty concerning flaw in how the galaxy map handles route plotting with respect to route filters: namely, suppose you have 'Apply filter to route' set for only scoopable star classes, and then you find your destination system, but then open the system map (which appears to be 'within' the galaxy map, as you return to the galaxy map when you exit it), select some destination and click 'Plot route'. The route plotted then in fact doesn't filter by star class at all!

Some systems have a non-fuel star as thier main star, but have a fuel star present in the system. The route planner will plot through these multi-star systems if a fuel star is present.
At a glance it can appear that non-fuel stars were plotted in the route.

If I uncheck and then re-check "Apply filter to route" it changes the plotted route
Edit: oh and of course, the system it dumped me in which prompted me to notice this behaviour didn't have a fuel star present. You will of course have to take my word for it that I plotted the route in the way I said; I will try to replicate it but it means I have to remember what my module config and thus max jump range was at the time (I think it was all on E-class modules at the time so I'll see if that works)

Haha ok plotting a route back from Spirit of Nysa to Ilyushin Enterprise gives me the bug on the first hop! 
I pointed this out a few weeks ago in another thread, if you set your final destination as an object, any object in a system it will ignore the star filter, if you then reselect just the star by going back in the galaxy map it will then apply the filter properly, it does appear to be a bug.
Use any object in any system as the destination will cause the route plotter to ignore the filter, so if you select a station that will happen.
