Why was the camera changed in this version - in the previous version, it was zoomed in somewhat to give the world a slightly warmer, more personal feel. Now it is zoomed way the hell out, to the point where, when walking inside buildings, the camera is constantly outside of walls. I know the camera can be adjusted, but using the zoom does not work correctly either - the view gets distorted or the camera jumps back as soon as you move. Please bring back the camera from 1.1 :(

Does scrolling the mouse wheel work anymore?

Yes, but that zooms unnaturally - the standard, default zoom has been changed from 1.1 - it is zoomed out much further, even further than 1.0 and beta.

I've also noticed camera being quite different. And, it doesn't work well when sitting either... most the time the page up, page down and escape keys don't work for the old camera adjustments.

I agree that the 1.1 camera worked far better.

I would like to add that for me, the new zoom level makes it impossible to go inside of buildings very easily - the camera stays zoomed outside of the wall half the time. I was in Darkwood today and could not go in half of the shops because when I did, the camera would go crazy. Please give us back the camera from 1.1!

I'm having problems alt-zooming around objects while my edit window is open. It seems like I can't choose a new object to alt-zoom around unless I close the edit window.
