Flying off the end of the world bug

I seem to get bit this almost everytime I try to go somewhere. I didn't last 10 minutes tonight. I spawned near my property, and when I tried to fly to the welcome area, I got stuck in the fly off the end of the world bug. This has been around for a long time now, I'm curious what the status of it is? There were some threads about it a month or so ago, but I forge what was eventually decided. What can I do to not get but by it?

Hi Susan,
I know this reply is a little late, just going thru the forums to learn more stuff. At first I flew off the world a lot. Especially when I picked a landmark and chose to fly instead of beeing teleported. I found out that I can not fly in a straight line the way the landmark is pointing me, if part of the trip takes me over water. If I do that, I fly off the world . Now, I use the map and track my flights and found out that when I stay over land masses when flying, even if it means a detour, I don't fall off the world and die..he he.
You have probably found that out by now.
Anyway..a good point, especially for newbees like me.

See yah

I must be unlucky, because I'm carefull not to fly over water, but it still bites me if I try to fly a long distance <sigh>...
