I've just installed 1.12 and when I use MouseLook my view starts to orbit. It turns to the right and seems to keep going. Doesn't do it in any previous SL or when I'm not in MouseLook... It makes me fly around in circles when I use MouseLook to see where I'm going (which I always do)

Help!

Could be a messy optical mouse or messy surface. I know when my mouse is on a dirty table, or it's got a tangle of hair across its sensor it makes my pointer jiggle (and sometimes move in one direction when left alone).

No it's an actual bug :( Seems to happen when the UI scaling is set to something less than 0.9, like 0.85 or less.

Ah, that might explain it, I set it to minimum size! And no offence Feynt, you're not to know, but I repair computer systems for a living, I can tell the difference between a hardware and software fault! Thanks for the effort mind you! :D

<points menacingly>
I know what you do for a living! ^.^

Hope this gets resolved then, I'd hate to think my screen would slowly rotate in mouselook mode.

It doesn't happen at 0.85 (at least on the MG 1.11.0.9). It happens exactly at 0.9 and apparently nowhere else. And for me the mouselook cursor moves towards azimuth if I nudge it in any way.

Well I've just installed the new main release with the scalable interface and that works fine, so it's something they changed between the two versions that did it!
