[Bug/Interface] Dragging map with city build window open

from Elemental Forums

If a city's building menu is open and you attempt to drag the map away from the city, the map will automatically snap back to the city. It can be disorienting and confusing if you are not aware of the cause.

Suggested fix: close the build menu if the map is dragged away from the city instead of snapping back.

Also sometimes when you place a building it will snap to over the city. This is VERY ANNOYING as it causing you to place the building in a different location then you picked. So you have to cancel the order and replace it. Happens to me all the time.

I found that so annoying in Beta 1 that I turned on "City building zoom mode" in the gameplay options.  I like that much better, but of course YMMV.

I also don't like this at all as it is quite confusing.

Also even though I guess that this might not be the right place I would like to suggest implementing possibility to use keyboard to scroll map around since a lot of people is used to it. Using mouse to move around can become tiering afther a while especially on large maps.
