Odyssey Map: Align the 'Back' button

Can you please adjust the 'Back' button in Galaxy Map and System Map so that they are in the same place.
As it is now, when you open Galaxy Map and from there System Map and you then want to go out again, you have to move the mouse a bit to hit the 'Back' button in Galaxy Map.
If the buttons were in the same place, you only have to double-click to get completely out of System and Galaxy Map, without even having to move the mouse cursor.
It's no big deal but it would be a nice little change.
 
As far as using mouse goes, clicking right mouse button takes you back on most screens without the need to actually aim and click on any button.
I'm not 100% sure if that's the default setting (although it most likely is), but it can certainly be mapped that way.

Nevermind me. I obviously remembered it wrong. Works for most UI panels, but not for maps.

If you need to close map you may use the same key binding which is used to show it. Currently it is muuuuuuch faster than waiting until all planet textures are loaded. I cannot understand why after pressing "back" button you have to wait all the planet textures loading to finish, while the other way closes it instantly.

I also wish "back" button on Planet map screen would bring you back to System map (if you came from System map), instead of closing System map and going back to Galaxy map. Currently we can use zoom out to get back (from Planet to System map), but logically it should be "back" button (as opening Planet map is done by pressing UI button).

In general "back" key binding should work from all screens (currently e.g. to exit powerplay contact panel you have to click to Back button, but cannot use "back" key binding).
 
I get similarly mildly frustrated when using (for example) the weapon vendor in a station concourse. To back out using the mouse I have to click three 'exit" buttons each in a different place.

The Odd user interface generally would benefit from a lot of polishing if it is to be be kept long term.
