Auto-framing button has become the opposite of "helpful."

Three Wishes

It used to work so consistently. Pick a body part or object, hit the little button thingy, and boom. It was at the center of your screen, at a reasonably close distance.  Now it consistently sends me a few hundred units out in a seemingly-random direction. 

This is a huge time sink in scene setup.  If whoever last fiddled with that button's functionality could pretty please go in and revert the change, I'd be so happy.

Thanks!

I thought that was either just me or because I was using DS through Splashtop

Is your object far from the origin, and are you between it and the origin?

Generally "yes" on the first question, and I'm not sure on the second one. I can test for that if it helps...

One work around, for now, seems to be frame - if the item is badly framed orbit the camera around it (that seems to work after the bad framing attampt) until you are looking at the origin (use the camera cube in the corner of the viewport as a guide), then frame again.

I find that if I'm using the surface selection tool it tends to frame from a distance rather than zoom in close.

Thank you! I'll take all the help I can get :D
