Hi,
Yes, I've tried different driver versions with no success... :/
By now we've made a workaround here using some motion-smoothing technic in
order to avoid big jumpings while navigating the scene... I thank you for
the support, we're justing bypassing this issue by now due its complexity
(we're unable to find the real cause yet).... We may return to it in the
future, but the workaround is actually working nicely ;)
Thanks again
Pablo
