gathering icons disappear from display

This is not a complaint. It's an observation, with a question.

Reference: Map herb icons disappear after selecting specific herbs and assigning a route for them. I chose 4 herb types manually for the route to pass through. Everything works great, except for the following issue.

Note: I'm using the Released version of Carbonite.

I've attached 2 graphics to show the "before" and then the "after" display which occurs immediately upon reaching the very first Node. As soon as the 'ding' occurs upon reaching the first node, all gathering icons disappear from the map, even though they were displaying properly at first. This does not effect the routing capability; I can still follow the route. But, it's very awkward not knowing which herb I'm heading towards.

So, my question is "Is this a known issue which has been fixed already in the unreleased version(s)?

I'm not sure if it's a known issue, but I can confirm that the same happens with the beta...

As you have observed, the route stays and it even ticks off the node when you have reached the required distance. But as soon as you reach the first node, the graphics disappear.

Thank you very much JimJoBlue. Your reply confirms to me that the issue is not specific to my installation of Carbonite nor related to my GPU. That's reassuring! Hopefully, this issue will be fixed in a future release. After all, the "Gathering" professions are important to overall game-play. And, Carbonite's routing is a real boon in gathering, as it cuts down time significantly! It's especially useful in having the ability to set routes for specific herbs, based upon their item 'levels.' Thanks for replying!

I suppose this question should be aimed at Rythal?

I asked earlier:

So, my question is "Is this a known issue which has been fixed already in the unreleased version(s)?

I'm just wondering whether or not I should attempt (again) to use the latest Beta/Alpha version, if the issue I mentioned has been fixed in one of those?

I haven't read yet how I should uninstall my version then install the Beta/Alpha version, so I'm a little paranoid about messing up my 'working' version of the "Released" version. For the most part, the Released version is 75% adequate for what I do, even though I can't use it for questing. I use the Zygor Leveling Guide for that, but I haven't purchased the Pandaria upgrade guide from Zygor. The 1-80 Leveling Guide is superb!

No it's not something fixed in the new version yet... this is the first time i'm hearing about it so I'll need to look into why it's happening.
