Open menu button closes remote view even after remap

[neoChaos12]

TL;DR

The settings menu is inaccessible from remote view if a character is on a planetary surface even if the corresponding key ("Toggle Menu") is remapped away from Esc.

What?

On mapping an alternative key for "Toggle menu" other than Esc, I had expected to be able to open the menu while staying in remote view, the way I can when my character is inside a space platform. Instead, the new button works the same as "Esc" did previously and closes remote view. Since I can access the settings menu while inside remote view if my character is in a space platform, I concluded that this is a case of a hard-coded functionality (close panel, probably hard-coded to Esc) being tangled up with a remappable one (Toggle menu).

Why?

I want to save my game, tinker with my settings, etc. without closing remote view even if my character is on a planet's surface, the way I can if my character is inside a space platform.
