b Planets sometimes don't show in tooltips

Very minor bug:

  1. Go to a platform and zoom in.

  2. Click somewhere else in remote view

  3. Hover your mouse over the platform in the remote list view

  4. You won't see the planet in the background

Note that if you skip either step #1 or #2, you will see the planet.

A related bug:

  1. Go to a platform (any zoom level is ok)

  2. Hover your mouse over the platform in the remote view list

  3. Pan (WASD)

You will notice the planet moving in the tooltip (and the main screen), but the platform will not move in the tooltip (only in the main screen)
Zooming however doesn't make a difference here.

I'm not sure if this is something I can fix, even in my planned future rework of parallax. The issue is that the position of the planet changes based on your camera position, and doesn't take into account the remote view preview. When you click somewhere else, the planet moves due to parallax and it's no longer under the ship.

I'll look into a fix for this, somehow treating remote view as a new character maybe, but I imagine this won't be fixable. You could just turn off parallax in settings, but I'm aware that's not really a solution.

I've played around for a bit and I couldn't find a fix, I believe it's an API limitation. The mod Visible Pollutants also has a similar issue to the looks of it. For now I've added it to known issues.

Thanks so much for looking! It's a very minor thing though, and the mod so far has been great (and it is way better with parallax on!).
