double left-clicking fixates camera?

[BURNY26]

I am on a nostalgiatrip and reinstalled med 2. I hit the problem that when i double left clik a unit in battle , the camera fixes itself on the unit restricting camera movement to a certain radius of this particular unit. How can i disable this? I am using default fps control setup and havent noticed any option disallowing this

in campaing or battle hit escape go into game options or video options and there should be a line smeting like restrickted camera whit a box before or behind it and untick that box and done

Hmm, when I double left-click on a unit it takes me to that unit and then stops. I don't think I've ever seen it locked onto a unit. Doesn't it break when you select another unit or some place on the minimap? In any case, your best bet is, as atthias said, unticking the camera restrictions box.

Double clicking on a unit (card or actual unit) will center the camera on it but will not follow the unit and should be freely available after that action. Why it switches to the 'general's camera' mode I have no idea. Check if you have that mode enabled.

Edit: I have corrected the slightly misleading thread title

If I double-click on a unit card, I do follow that unit (if it is moving), but only for a few seconds, before the camera "stops" while the unit keeps moving. I've always liked it, as it's as if I'm riding or running along with the unit.

If I recall correctly then pressing 'delete' does the same but keeps being 'attached' until you press 'delete' again - which then returns you to the spot where pressed first. That's always a bit like twilight zone, especially when you did it with a 'clean up' unit at the end of an encounter.
Come to think of it - it's a bit like what the OP describes.
