Weird camera tracking

Is it normal that enabling camera tracking and changing target I have to disable and re-enable it?
I expect it to change the tracked object when I click on a different one in the overview window.

It's the same with the new "Tracking" feature in the D-scan: I expect my camera to move when I select another target.

Is this a bug? I've read little about this.

I can conform camera tracking is a bit messed up since the last couple hot-patches.

I try to rotate the view "spin ship" in either mode and I get an extreme and strange spin/reset the first time. Do it again and it works as intended.

Very annoying, something is definitely not right with it.

Does this still happen with today's patch? I was pretty confident that i caught this bug last weekend. If it's still occurring it would be great to get as much details on how to reproduce as possible (either here or in a bug report), thanks.

Also the infinite flashing "LOCKING" is still there.

Roger that - I have not tried since this morning patch - will test out when I get home and advise.

Generally this is what happens (wether you are in camera tracking mod or not) -

My ship is in center view, I can spin and rotate as needed. I do something else, click one another mod or another window. I come back to try to rotate the ship view and the camera goes into a flurry of movement, almost like I am trying to break some rotation limit and it is trying to rubberband back into place.

If I let go, sometimes it goes back, but mostly the view resets to some random direction. Either way I have to reset camera and then I can spin again.

Thank you.

I did have the problem yesterday, and today it seems to be fixed.
