Player View Focus Behavior

Right there is a little thing in EVE I would like to see changed that makes EVE feel clumsy and awkward.

When A player is viewing a ship, asteroid, can, or item that expires the camera view suddenly violently moves back to your own ship and changes its size to default. This is a very clumsy behaviour I would like to see the camera remain focused where it is until I choose something else to look at or decide to reset my own view. This way we can enjoy the explosions the atmospher of the fight, the mining mission rather than this littledetail of the game feeling like it still in a beta or design stage.

I have noticed alt clicking is also still broken. When you hold alt and click your view refocuses on that item, then when you let the alt key go it refocuses again back on your own ship, it seems to me that both the mouse down and alt up commands are triggering the view command, becasuse of this I am ending up with a kind of camera view pong between my mouse click and alt key. From memory the game has been this way since the pre Incarna patch that overhauled the behind the scenes code for Incarna.
