I like the idea of a custom marker.

I work a LOT of URs where people are reporting that the little speed "flags" indicating traffic speed are incorrect.

Or if you remove the battery (shut off the script) because of false alarms.

Agreed on it being incorporated into TB or URO+... or even WME itself.
I have (or had) URMPT installed, and it was useful, but it would "bounce" around too much for my taste (like WME did until they revised the pan/zoom on open routine).
I like to work within a specific area and cross the map in a grid.
URMPT would end up sending me halfway across the county after working only a couple of URs.

For the most part URO+ and URC have covered most everything that I found useful on URMPT, particularly considering that in our area we claim no "ownership" of URs and thus have no need to track "our" reports.

Or production when at high zoom.
Ditto. Zoom 3 or closer and it's fine, but when previewing to find "easy" reports it bounces around and really slows things down with the map reload times.

URO+ is working properly.
The problem is WME.

If we just click a UR, WME still pans the map to center the UR.
URO+ was quickly patched (as well as TB) to provide a disable for this, and within a couple of days, WME was modified and it stopped working. I can't even find the option in URO+ or Toolbox now.

WME no longer auto-zooms... this was disabled by staff at the request of the editors, but when they removed the zoom, it "broke" the scripts' disable.
WME simply pans to center the UR (if at zoom 0-1-2). At 3 and higher, WME acts like it used to.

I just tried. Clicking on a UR centered the UR itself on the screen. When clicking the button at the top right when you click a UR, it auto-zooms right over the UR. The way it was suppose to.
Correct.

It is the auto-centering that we would like to have disabled.
Many of us will open the map to a specific area and preview URs by opening them from zoom-0 before opening in a new window to look more closely.

The problem with the auto-center is this "specific area" keeps moving, and in my case, if I'm working just east of downtown LA, I'm going to keep the huge cluster of URs off-screen unless I'm at zoom 4 or tighter due to the loading times (and timeouts).
With auto-center, I can't open a UR anywhere west of the 605 at Zoom-0 without getting the LA cluster pulled into the screen.

Does WME recentre the map? Does WME alter the zoom level?
Yes to recentre - No to zoom change
* Click the crosshairs in the corner of the UR details panel.

Does WME recentre the map? Does WME alter the zoom level?
Yes - Yes
* Close the UR details panel
* Zoom all the way *in* (i.e. the zoom slider is at the top of the scale)
* Pan the map so that you've got a UR marker located near the edge of the window.
* Click the marker.

Does WME recentre the map? Does WME alter the zoom level?
No - No
Previously determined that the WME auto-center is disabled when zoomed at 3 or higher.
* Click the crosshairs in the corner of the UR details panel.

Does WME recentre the map? Does WME alter the zoom level?
Yes to recentre, yes to zoom (zooms out to Zoom-5)

This is with Chrome.
I won't be able to check Firefox until I get home.

All you have to do now is make whatever changes are required for this new closure - typically just changing the start/finish dates - and click Save. Job done :D

Any chance on getting back "Disable map move when selecting:" and working?

This is extremely inconsistent, failing more often than not... at least for URs.

I'm going to have to go find some PURs that IGN hasn't auto-approved to see if it works there.
