Extremely Rapid Movement In Editor When Using Camera View Mode

W1llums · November 21, 2022, 2:54am

Within my project, while using the camera view mode, if I left click the camera will move extremely rapidly–multiple hundreds of units a second. Middle click and right click work fine for their respective types of movement.

Is this a known issue with the camera view? I wouldn’t be surprised if this was only an issue on my end, so here’s the editor. Just change the view to “Camera”, left click, and see if you fly away…

It looks like it’s because the Camera entity is a child of an entity that has been scaled and the input does some weird behaviour here

If camera Entity is a child of a scaled parent, viewport camera controls do not work as expected

If it is changed to 1, 1, 1, the camera controls work as expected
