Can no longer manipulate tiny prims

I am having terrible problems trying to rotate or move tiny tiny prims. as soon as you grab a handle the whole camera zooms back to where you can not even see the prim any more. it makes working with small prims impossible now. Anyone else having this issue and is there a work around?

Note: to reproduce use a VERY tiny prim an zoom in VERY close.

The camera "poping" back problem did not happen previous to this release. This makes working on jewelry virtualy impossible. I would like for any work around to be posted here. Please don't suggest building big and then stretching small when done. This is not an option for me (for many reasons).

Thank you!

Yep, got this too. I bug-reported it. It happens even with medium-ish sized objects, say the size of your hand. If you're zoomed in close, the camera sometimes just wants to wander all over, even if you've told it not to move in edit mode. Very annoying!

This is actually a good ol bug from 1.4ish that was fixed somewhere in 1.5 and now is back, surely, to increase balding among the players of SL :) i keep telling myself they fixed it before so they can fix it again.
