I found a GUI bug while remotely driving vehicles and looking at a space platform. Steps to reproduce below.

1. Open a surface in remote view. Start driving a vehicle in remote mode.
2. Go to a platform's view while still in the vehicle.
3. Click on the space platform hub.
Press tab.

Expected: My view is returned to my character, and the space platform hub closes.
Actual: My view goes to the surface where I'm remotely driving the vehicle. The space platform hub menu stays open. Closing it, my remote view erroneously says I'm looking at that space platform still instead of at the planet where I'm in the vehicle

In 2.0.21, this appears to be slightly improved:

1. Open a surface in remote view. Start driving a vehicle in remote mode.
2. Go to a platform's view while still in the vehicle.
3. Click on the space platform hub.
4. Press tab.
5. Observe you re-enter remotely driving the vehicle you were previously remote driving.
6. Observe the space platform GUI does not close. --> This is the only thing resembling a bug remaining.
7. Observe the remote view surface selection changes to correctly highlight the surface of the vehicle you are now remote driving.
8. Press tab again.
9. Exit remote driving and enter map view centered at the vehicle you just left.
10. Press tab again.
11. Re-enter the vehicle you were remote driving.

One of the bugs that has been fixed recently is apparent if you do the following:

1. Open a surface in remote view. Start driving a vehicle in remote mode.
2. Go to a platform's view while still in the vehicle.
3. Click on the space platform hub (or don't).
4. Press ESC.
5. Observe the platform hub GUI closes.
6. Press ESC.
7. Observe you re-enter remotely driving the vehicle you were previously remote driving.
8. Observe the space platform GUI does not close, if you left it open before pressing tab.
9. Press ESC.
10. Observe you exit remote driving and remote view and return to your character.
