Can you tell me what system you are going from and to? I want to check something.
It's generally working for me but one thing seems to have changed.
When typing in a system name and pressing Return or clicking the arrow, the planner no longer seems to go to the most obvious system first.
Example from yesterday, and I repeated this several times: I typed "Pand", and the first system found was called Pandora, Pandemonium or something similar; only the second click showed me the actual Pand.
I had a similar experience with another, totally different, system, the name of which I don't have a note of.
Anyone else?

Sounds to me like a jump-range issue, have not had any issues myself (Python Jump 16.5 Very Big Fuel-scoop)
On the subject of routing, am I right in thinking the solid line is max along route without refueling and broken line is rest of route but you need to refuel?

Yep; exactly that.
That's exactly what I figured and was going to check via route planner.
Lusonda > Alawongli - 10.07LY
Alawongli > Taso - 10.21LY
Among a few others
Check out the web route planner if you ever are unsure or need a better visual representation:

Although not really needed with the 1000LY edition in game now..but it's nice to have a visual point to point reference sometimes.

Yep. Of course if you have a scoop and the stars are good for it that doesn't matter. A filter for only those where you can "Fill My Kettle And Go" (forget the name of the genius that came up with that) would be welcome, but it's soooo much better than it was!
Same here. Not only does the route icon disappear, sometimes I think the relevant system does as well from the navigation menu.
I've had this. The route still appears mapped on the Galactic map but the next hop is lost and no little icon.
Not my experience. Only if i drop out of SC does it lose the targeting, but the route is still there in the galactic map. I just need to reselect the target system and the hit plot course again. Its a minor annoyance, but when travelling long distances, i don't come out of SC much except to make beauty shots. Im more likely to lose my route due to doing scans on objects, but the route remains in the galaxy map, again, just go select destination and plot route.
I think we need connections to Frontier.
