Map auto-centers on CT turn - 5e

[gmkieran]

In the latest build of 5e we have found that when the combat tracker active position moves to a PC, the map re-centers itself for that player (if he has zoomed in, it zooms out to max and shows the whole map). This prevents players from keeping a combat map at a convenient location for manipulating their character and its targets. Is this an intended behavior or a known bug? I didn't find any references to it in patch notes or recent help threads.

Check settings I think you can disable that (personally though I quite prefer that).

Thanks! I can see where it could be, occasionally, but when we're in a 50 person combat and I've narrowed in on the ten folks I can reach, it's annoying to have the map suddenly jump back to huge and make everything tiny again. :)

Yes, each player and the DM can turn on or off the auto centre map feature in settings.
