It was a great idea, that editing an object wouldn't futz around with your camera, however, there are times when sitting down I want to refocus my camera on myself and the only way I know how to do that is to adit some random object and then close the builder.

With the auto-camera turned off guess what? My camera doesn't revert. As a result I have to deal with the old system, which I can handle, but I'd very much like to turn the feature off.

Is there another way to re-center the camera?
If not, we need one.

Hit "Fly" and "Stop Flying".

(yes "reset view" should do this, damnit)

Hitting ESC should also reset the camera.

Yes, movement keys reset the camera when your not sitting down.

I'll try that, thanks.

Well, it does, after closing the chat bar I wish to always keep open....still three "clicks."
Method one:
r-click
edit
close

Method two:
Esc
Esc
Chat

No, this works when you're sitting down, honest, and you don't have to close your chat window to do it.

You're right, it does. Thanks mucies!
But still, a dedicated "recenter camer" option would be nice because honestly who'd have thought that "Fly" did that (HCI people, HCI!)

There is a "reset view" item under view, and it's *not* the same as hitting escape - it doesn't close chat. The only problem is that it got broken in recent releases... particularly when you're sitting down.
