After using the scroll wheel to zoom into mouslook mode, the camera begins panning to the left and will not stop rotating until leaving mouselook; However, the random rotation doesn't occur when I view SL in a window, only in fullscreen.
The problem also occurs intermittently when alt-zooming, or alt-ctrl-zooming around other objects; continuing to hold the Alt key, after changing the camera angle, the view will rotate by iself around the Z-axis.
It also happens when I left-click on my avatar and drag the mouse around to change the view. Keeping the mouse still while holding the click, the avatar will rotate around where they are standing -- displaying the walk animation -- until the mouse button is released.
Is this just me?!

the left clicking on your avy while holding it down and turning is a normal and very useful feature IMHO. This feature has been around for a while.

I agree it's useful; I use it all the time, myself.. but shouldn't the camera stop rotating once I stop moving the mouse?

From: Drizzt Naumova the left clicking on your avy while holding it down and turning is a normal and very useful feature IMHO. This feature has been around for a while. He said while NOT moving the mouse. This bug also occurs when you set your UI scaling to 0.85 or less on a lof of mahines (all?) It is definately a bug and I reported it weeks ago, there have been atleast two updates to fix it but... it's still there! FIX IT! |

that's odd.. I've always used fullscreen, but only just had the problem today. But then, I also installed a new vid card today (7600GS)...
if you're saying that this happened in previous versions, could it perhaps be related to the video drivers??

I have had this problem.
I think it might be something to do with the window size - perhaps if you resize the window to be an odd number of pixels, the mouse doesn't have an exact centre so a rounding error makes it rotate?
I resized my window and the problem went away.
Anectodal evidence, I didn't try to reproduce it.

tested with a lower resolution, and that does seem to clear up the problem.. though I'll be dammed if I have to do this forever! I want my SL in the full glory of every blistering widescreen pixel! Lindens, please fix!!  |

I avoid a lot of UI glitches by turning off the scaling completely. Not just setting the slider to 1.0, but unchecking the checkbox below it.
