EDIT: Found answer right after posting (of course)
Selected - reset window layouts - current character
I believe in the 1.73 release (which I completed deleted and copied in 1.731 with same results) my tracking arrow dissapeared. I now have it set to Arrow X offset -625, and Arrow Y offset - 400 - I don't know if that's normal because I never tried to mess with the arrow default settings til the arrow was gone. The hide checkbox and arrow graphic changes work fine and immediately but the "show direction text" doesn't do anything. I want to get my time estimates back under the arrow. I'm not sure what to try and except for lightheaded I have no other questhelping/map/travel/button mods at all.
