There seems to be two issues:
Copy/paste that zooms to the copied object: that one has always been part of MI as far back as 4.5. I remember an answer then to the effect it was a Windows feature (not to be tackled with) and the only way I found was to use the Previous View command after each paste.
Find selection that zooms to the selection: I do not know of a change because I am stuck with 6.5 but in that version there is no change of zoom for a single selected object; eventually, there is a pan to place the centroid of the object in the mapper. However if more objects are selected, the zoom is adjusted so that all the centroids at least are in the mapper.
If I have considered that behavior acceptable, I found that it lacks some subtleties and I invented ZoomSel (or ZoomOnSel) that focuses correctly on the object(s) using their MBR (not their centroids) and toggles the zoom allowing a wider view of the selection (very useful to see the context of the selection) on www.paris-pc-gis.com/download.htm in the PPCC section

As for version 8, as a test I selected a single polygon, copied it (ctrl c), panned away from it and pasted it into cosmetic (ctrl-v). Zoomed straight back to it. Can't see anything in the preferences or registry that would stop it.

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] That sounds great! Please let the list know when you've posted the .mbx. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this issue.
And by the way, I just did a test - same tables, same computer - and this was NOT a problem in 8.0. Since you mentioned that it WAS a problem for you in 8.0, that makes me think it's a user-defined preference that can be switched on and & off somewhere ????
Anybody from Troy reading this thread?

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Taylor, Michael G (SKM) I noticed the same thing in 8. It's not really needed as they already have zoom to selection (current and all views) as a command. At least an option for auto zooming would be appropriate. Really a pain in the @#$# when you editting a map for a specific layout, then lose your original map view, because you forget to do a map previous between pastes or something silly like that.
I've just added (or will as soon as my registration gets accepted) a basic program to directionsmag that allows stepping through upto 40 previous views for map windows called zoom_hist that helps avoid that problem.

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason McMahan Hello-
Has anyone else noticed that in MI 8.5, when you copy and paste an object in a map window, it automatically zooms to the object that has been pasted? Previous versions always did this when the user copied/pasted multiple objects, but this seems to be a new "enhancement" -- and it's quite frustrating!
Is this an option I can turn off somewhere?
Thanks,
-Jason
