If not, could everybody who's frustrated by it please use the "Report Bug" feature in SL? I just can't build any more it's so annoying!

The problem is if you zoom the camera way in close to edit really tiny stuff or to make sure normal sized stuff lines up without nasty seams and then you try and move or rotate the prims while zoomed in the camera jumps forward *into* the things you're trying to edit and you can't see what you're doing anymore! It didn't use to do this before 1.6! ;_;

LL has been aware of this bug since the first or second day of 1.6. Why they haven't fixed it yet is anyone's guess. There is a workaround though. When zoomed in, use the numbers to ajust your prims instead of using the manipulator tool. Using the numbers is slower than just dragging, but it doesn't make the camera go psycho.

This is not like having to do with some teleport issue tranforming your AV in a woman or other similar mid annoyances, this is as FONDAMENTAL as SL itself.
LL please, tell us that you're going to fix and ship this with the next client release. Thanks.

Ale, if you feel strongly about having this bug fixed, please go into SL and use their report bug feature! As I understand it the Lindens don't read through this forum for bugs and they certainly don't use use it to judge how important problems are... this is mostly a place for folks like us to get get help from each other on living with problems!

Ok Aestival, may you help me to get the camera standing still while I build and I'll think to your camera while you build?

Thanks for the advice, you're right, I'll report the bug as I log in SL.
