[.92][Bug] Building Placement on City Tiles Changes at Last Second

from Elemental Forums

I have noticed this issue quite a bit actually, and apologize if it has already been mentioned.  When building a new structure on a city tile, I have noticed that if you don't have the camera centered on the city, there is a good chance the structure will jump to a different tile right when you click to place it.  I believe this bug may be tied to the functionality of holding the camera over a particular city while the building window is still open (the window in the lower left which shows what structures can be built).  The bug shows up for me if I click on the city, then move the camera farther away, then open the building window to place the structure.  Again I apologize if the issue has already been reported.

Additional Note:  It feels as though the camera actually re-centers itself immediately upon the click to place the structure, which causes it to be placed in an incorrect location.

Yes. I have had this too and it can be annoying if you are wanting to push your city structure in a specific direction.

I hate this, it is caused by the camera re-centering itself to the middle of the city. Happens when you scroll after opening the build menu. Reported this ages ago, though I'm pretty confident it'll get addressed before release. Really, really annoying.

I noticed it myself not a huge problem if you know the cause but it really shouldn't do that!

Happens to me too, annoying but not critical.

That is exactly why I enabled the "Zoom to city" mode in the gameplay options.
