WvW Player and Ground Marks While Commander Off Map

[Xzygy.1452]

Commander disconnected and we would have liked the ability for the lieutenants in the squad to be able to mark people and/or ground targets, but these didn't seem to work until the commander was back on the map, which took forever, because of the queue.  It felt like the kind of thing we should have been able to do especially when the commander wasn't there.  Very strange that it only works while the commander is on the same map.
