I am wondering if this is just me or if anyone else is having camera problems when alt mouse clicking to look around/zoom etc. Its almost as if the camera gimbals out to some unknown spot. I feel like I am using the ctrl numbers, but I am not, it zooms out weird and I cant seem to get control of the camera, I have to hit escape to reset the camera and keep trying. Does that make any sense? Is any one else having any camera problems in both viewers, but more evident in the RC viewer.

I've had a couple friends mention this problem occurring once in awhile, they were all using the SL camera controls that stay on the screen. I hadn't heard it being common when using alt+mouse or keys. I only get this issue if what I'm zooming in on or whatever I alt+click on has transparency on it.

YES! I get this too.

Most recently, I experienced it while trying to edit a linkset (a small house) from inside. Click on a prim and try to edit, and suddenly the camera is outside the house.

I've created a JIRA issue for it. https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-7144

Yes ~ and thank you for bringing it up! I've been experiencing the same thing ever since the most recent required update, and it drives me crazy. I no longer have full control over the camera. Nice to know it's not just me, but that doesn't help anyone. The question is, is there a fix?
