Hello,

I'm sorry. Though I read so many mails saying different stuff about 
different things though with the same subject line, I was a little bit 
confused.
I do understand, and I can live with it. I was just finding it a little bit 
odd. The problem with the panning surtenly doesn't make the game less 
enjoyable. 

Kevin
