Version: 1.6.13.0

Frequency: Rarely

Severity: Low

Bug description: After zooming in on an object by double-clicking it from the list and holding Alt + left mouse button, the camera flies off in a random direction.

Repro steps: I don’t have an exact reproduction path - it happens randomly while working on the scenary.
A similar issue also occurs in the 2020 sim.
Restarting the flight helps to solve the problem

Hello @miron

Does this happen with any object you place in your scenery?
Or is it specific to this flag object?

If the latter, can you please share this asset with us?

Hello! @FlyingRaccoon

This isn’t related to a specific object.

It might be related to window mode and alt+tab between programs. I’m not sure, though.

I also have a video of a similar error from MSFS2020. In this case, I don’t need to double-click the object; this happens all the time.

There’s music in the video.

So this also happens regardless of where the scenery is located?
If you create a new scenery in the middle of the ocean and add a random object, you get the same behavior?

Yes, this happens regardless of the specific scenary or specific object.

It’s quite a rare bug - I encounter it a couple of times a month. But it’s always unpleasant because I have to restart to fix it.

We will try to replicate it.
If you identify anything that seems to cause this to occur, please let us know.
