Auto focus bug

from GalCiv2 Forums
I stopped playing Galciv2 for a few months and recently got back into it. I'm on 1.7 beta 3, and I am having a big issue with the UI. The options "Enable auto focus to move camera to selected ships" and "Move camera to selected colonies in colony list" do not function as far as I can tell. The camera auto focuses regardless of what I set either of these two options to. I want to set the camera to NOT center on ships when I click on them. Can you please fix this for the final build of 1.7?

Enable auto focus to move camera to selected ships

This refers to ships that are auto-selected because they finish moving on auto-pilot and still have moves left.

Move camera to selected colonies in colony list

This is also working as intended. It's refering to the colony list on the Civ manager screen, not the planet list, which can show planets that are not owned by the player.

We currently don't have an option to not center on the ship that you select.

This has always been the case. Centering on autoselect is a good idea, because it's possible the selected ship isn't currently on screen.

I have always wished for a way to disable centering when I click on a ship, however. I find it distracting and disorienting to have to click something, wait for the galaxy to stop sliding past, then perform the action I want.
