About the fleet card. Yes this is the situation. When I want to control a fleet, it is easier to click the small icons. But then ther are no buttons shon at the bottom. They appear only after klicking the small arrow. This is not convienient.

If I understand you correctly, you are describing how it is meant to work. You cannot select the fleet card, you can only select the corresponding fleet using the pin icon in the bottom right. You can only see the action buttons of what ever is selected. If you assumed that the fleet card can be selected, then I am sorry they are not made like that, but as long as you can select its content using the pin icon than I see no issue. There is an indicator, a semi circle rotating around the object that is selected, and as long as the correct object highlighted when using the pin icon then all should work as intended.
