Camera issue - locked and/or distorted

I did some research and didn't find something similar on the forums.
I've been having random issues since I came back to Eve a couple weeks ago.

The most common one is the camera view being distorted after a jump, basically having an extremely increased field of view, making it funny indeed, but a bit ridiculous and unpractical to play with.
The ship is also (only graphically) invisible each time. It already happened more than a dozen times.

Another one being somewhat common is being stuck in the jumping process, flying through the tunnel for eternity and beyond. It happened a dozen times.

The last one, the least common but the most crippling, is the camera locking itself and being unable to change either the zoom or the angle, and disabling most of the inflight functions. A full lockdown. Until now it happened two or three times, either after a jump or exiting a station.

Nothing solves these issues but restarting the client.
The first issue is actually being "fixed" by a session change, but the latters are solved only by restarting the client.

Eve is running on Windows 7 64 bit, 8 GB ram, Phenom II X6 1090T proc, under DirectX 9 (though it does this with DirectX 11 too iirc), with a GTX 650 Ti card. Fixed window mode.
The nVidia drivers are updated, and the problems occured with the previous driver too.
It never happened when it was running on XP on the same machine, but it was 6 months ago, prior to the pause in my subscription.

Any clue about that ?

I've had both the first and third issues

First on both my main PC and my laptop, third on my laptop only (but twice so far tonight)

Had the first issue for the first time on Saturday night - docking did not fix so quit EVE and restarted.

Have not experienced the third issue prior to tonight. On both occasions had to hard stop my laptop and reboot as it was non-responsive.

Ive also had both of these issues.

The first one in the most bizarre and hard to explain. Its like the system background has been squashed from the top and bottom and stretched sideways. When you jump into a system and its like this all you can do it jump out using the overview and hope the next system it will not happen.
