How can something that you don't encounter in the default game (freeplay + campaign) be the most important thing in the game? Could you explain that to me please.
Any info on why it was changed at all given it's relative unimportance? If it affects editor mode i'm certainly gonna miss it. I've been in love with zoom-to-cursor ever since the good old Supreme Commander made it so popular that everyone included it in their games.

It doesn't, editor never zoomed to cursor.

I'm already feeling a slight phantom pain :p.

So...no reasons given?

It was buggy and choppy when used with a God controller. Input actions and game state were updated and flushed in different threads, so there was a race condition between controller update and the user input (zoom).

The fix would be highly complex, and was attempted a few times.

We decided that it is not worth the pain, so disabled it for controllers (God, Ghost, Spectator).

In other modes it still is used (Map, zoom-to-world, etc.)

Thanks for clarification!

The amount of changes and size of the change log make it feel like a new version to me, also with the length of time that passed since the last update before that :)
