Selecting unit groups and camera centering

[very_bad_soldier]

I got a problem which I think is new since engine 85. I might be wrong though.
Always when I have some units selected that are in a unit group, lets say group 1, and then I press group '1' to select the whole group the camera jumps to the center of the group. Makes me mad. So I have the camera at the front line microing units that are in group '1' and then I press '1' to select the whole group my camera jumps away from the frontline to middle of the group. It does not happen when I have no units selected and then press '1' though.

Has anything been changed in that behavior in recent engine updates? Are the configuration switches to configure that behavior? Or any other ideas why it is happening now or what I can do against it?

Wasnt the old behavior that pressing 1 once selected them, and pressing it again if you had the same selection active centered the camera?

Yes. Or, possibly only when double tapping the number key.

Yes you are right, there was such a mechanism when you double-press the group number or something. Dunno, something is different now, it makes me crazy :[

Hm, thanks, but happens also with ZK's uikeys.txt. Is it possible to completely disable camera-centering when selecting a group by hotkey? I dont think its good to automatically move the camera around without an explicit order to do it.

Hm I hope it is ok when I close this so there is no parallel talk with
