Map pings not working (obj, enemies, urn)

As far as I can tell, map pinging behavior (with the freed mouse cursor) no longer behaves as it did in previous patches, at least on my end. I am not sure whether this is intended behavior.
The following no longer work for me (with left click):

  • 1 click on owned objective: "Defend X!"
  • "Aggressive" click on owned objective: "X needs help!"
  • "Aggressive" click on enemy objective: "Let's push X!"
  • 1 click on teammate: "Careful X!"
  • 1 click on enemy: "I see X!"
  • "Aggressive" click on enemy: "Let's take out X!"
  • ANY soul urn click interaction, e.g., ("Soul jar is here!")

The following still work:
  • 1 click on lane: "Headed to X!"
  • "Aggressive" click on lane: "Let's go [to] X!"
  • 1 click on Midboss: "Let's go mid!"
  • "Aggressive" click on Mid: "They're in mid!"

If I may simultaneously request a new feature, if we could enable pinging the soul jar dropoff location to trigger "Help me with the urn!" (with left click!) that would be excellent :)

EDIT:
I have realized JUST NOW this behavior has moved to right click. Woops! I will admit that I am used to using left click for this in the past, so the change to using right click surprised me. But, I am confused about why some pings still work with double-left click and others do not.

because of the change, it seems I cannot trigger "Defend X!" with either left or right click, either
 
As of today v. #6405, this behavior seems to be completely nonfunctional now, between both left and right click.

Issue(s):
  • Whenever you select a map object (objective, urn, player, enemy), it only uses lane indicators
  • The only functions remaining at this time appears to be
    • "headed to X" / "let's go to X"
    • "let's go mid" / "theyre in mid"
  • (Unrelated) the localization string for "They're in mid" simply uses "inside mid", lacking sentence case.

Steps to reproduce:
  1. Free the mouse cursor with Tab in-game
  2. Ping any map object with left or right click:
    1. Friendly objective(s)
    2. Friendly player
    3. Enemy objective(s)
    4. Enemy player
    5. Soul urn
 
I was able to restore old map pinging functionality by opening the developer console (F7).

While the console is opened and the mouse is freed, you can use left click/mouse1 (but not right or middle mouse click) to ping objectives, friendlies, enemies, urn, etc.

As soon as you hold Tab, it breaks again. My guess is that the mouse cursor clicking may be absorbed by some other UI element appearing while Tab is held.
