A bug? Or am I just not doing it right anymore?

Since Tuesdays weekly update I've been experiencing a new problem with SL. When using camera controls I can no longer pull down the View menu and click "reset view" (even ESC doesn't work) to get back to the default view for my avatar...........I have to use the arrows keys to move in some way to get back the the normal view, which is from behind and slightly above my avi's head. It's a little annoying to have to move the avi to just reset the view. I use the camera controls to shop, build, or to just look around in a crowd such a dancing in a club or participating in an event.........What's up with that new little jewel that apparentantly came with the latest update?

I don't post much. But lately I've done what I consider a lot...............all revolving around silly, stupid, annoying problems. I don't mind making changes in how I have to play the game, but recently it's been a weekly change I must adapt to. Is that the intent of LL in order to keep it "interesting"? I don't find it interesting..........I find it annoying.

Hello Peggy, this sounds like a focus issue but I'm unable to reproduce it. Esc key still resets my view when Camera Controls is open. Please be sure to send in a bug report inworld: Help menu > Report Bug with the step-by-step clearly describing how you do it, provided you've ruled out anything else interfering.

I don't like the "silly, stupid, annoying problems" either. Infact, that's one of my prime targets. I'll be posting more on the official Linden blog about those problems--and the followup solutions to them, so if you're interested:

I wish you well!

[UPDATE] Harmony Linden found out about this and clarified it for me: if you change the camera position, Esc key will still reset your view (you have to push twice with chat bar open, and the first press will close the chat bar), but View menu > Reset View will not work as you described, no matter how many times you selected it!

Please consider it a known issue and watch for it to be fixed soon.
