Issues controlling the view

Postby xcvb » Sun Apr 22, 2018 8:09 pm

On wayland I always had the issue that it is hard to control the view because it jumps between floor and ceiling but since FG 2018.1.1 I have a similar issue in X11 too. Now from time to time the view jumps to a random direction instead of moving just a bit. Does anyone else has this issue or knows what to do?

on initial ready, it sounds like you have some view controller that is buggy or worn out (think of a worn out joystick that has jumpy spots in it)... what are you using to move your view?

"Why not?" said Gurder.
"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."
