Not sure if this drives anyone else crazy, but the ability to use the ctl alt up/down arrow to manipulate the camera is no longer available. You can still rotate and move camera view right/left, forward/backward , but you can't go up and down. Makes building a major pain.

Huh? I can do all the camera functions just fine.

I have a problem with my mousewheel no longer working in SL, tho. :/

This looks like it was fixed by 1.7.0.54? When standing, I can do Ctrl-Alt-all arrow keys. When sitting none of them work, altho I seem to recall they did at one point.

I misunderstood (didn't read carefully). All the ctrl/alt/ctrl+alt arrow keys work when standing, but vertical rotate (pivot) doesn't work when sitting on anything. But I would rather use the ctrl/alt/shift+ mouse to manipulate the camera--including mousewheel to zoom, but that no longer works for me for some odd reason.

Your mousewheel zoomage doesn't work anymore, Eep? What kind of mouse do you use?

Logitech Wheelmouse (original)--haven't changed the drivers on it or anything. The only thing I can think of is that it's because I have to run SL under my admin account because my main account has an extended ASCII character in the profile directory name, but the mousewheel works fine outside of SL when logged in as admin too so I just don't get it. :/ Last night I asked in the Preview 1.7 group if anyone had the same problem but no one did (of ~10 people who replied).

Well, my mousewheel works if I select the "use MS compatible scroll only" AND "scroll in active window only" options in my mouse settings, but I didn't have these checked BEFORE 1.7 and my mousewheel worked fine in SL so LL must've screwed up something...

there is obviously a conflict with the 'fixed' usage of Ctrl+Left CLick or Alt+Left Click which were mentioned in the release notes
