[opensource-dev] A question/comment about the behavior of auto-pilot camera.

[Nexii Malthus]

I agree with this. Stealing the users' camera leaves the user with a sense
that they feel they lost control -- which is very bad for interaction. This
goes for pretty much everywhere that involves stealing the users' camera
where the user didn't intend to do so. (ugh, here comes bad memories of edit
appearance)
