How can a check box that does nothing be by design?

Many players including myself usually want to use the idle worker
for something that is in view. I don't see a control that returns
the view to the prior location, either. 

I really need that function. Either to avoid changing the view 
when selecting an idle worker, or at least a key to return the 
view to the prior view after selecting an idle worker. But I get 
no reply at all on their forum. Would be useful to know when that 
bug is going to be fixed. Apparently Age of Empires Online people
just don't want to talk about it. 

Thanks for the effort.
