Hrmmmm.... That's a weird one. I've never had that happen to me; but I also run with camera constraints disabled. Maybe that might fix it?

From the "Advanced" menu, simply select "Disable Camera Constraints". If you don't see an Advanced menu, then press CTRL-ALT-D to make it appear.

yes, I ve had this happen a few times, and its been over the last 3 months..I found that hitting the "esc" key a few times stopped it.

If you try to view a prim from directly above, this always happens. That's how I know I've got things lined up

I've had this once or twice recently, but not while building. Maybe it's not the same thing. A couple of times while out sailing my camera started to pan out in a wide circle; not a wild spin, but a long lazy arc around the boat. I had to relog to stop it, although it might have sorted itself out if I'd left it. I was having trouble controlling my boat, so I couldn't wait and see.

Then last night I'd cammed in on someone standing nearby. When they walked off and my camera went with them. So far so normal, but when I tapped ESC it didn't release. I was stood at one side of the room trying to hold a conversation while my camera followed them around the building. I tried camming onto other objects but it kept tracking them for about a minute before snapping back. No idea if this is the same thing as when I was sailing, same as the OP build problem or if they're all something different.

I was hitting escape many times.. I even tped (hey you never know right) but the avatar just keps walking aroundin circles and I wqs getting nausea...so.. relog...

It happens once in a blue moon to me... it just a bit odd like one of my movement keys was stuck...the one that makes you go round in circles.

oh well

it's not like weird things don't happen on sl everyday..

ty for your replies

It happens to me every so often and has since I first got on SL. Not sure why or how to fix it except logging out and restarting SL.

This happens to me all the time - like every few minutes. Sometimes it just stops after a while. often I have to quit. It happens for no apparent reason - if I'm walking and turn or if I'm camming around.

It's making SL unusable for me, so I'm not in world much now. I just get too dizzy.

I've had this problem too many times over the years.

Solution (aside from logging out): attempt to turn WITH the direction of the spin. For me, this always terminates one of these attacks. Going AGAINST the direction doesn't.
