When editing the map, the screen movement is blocked by collisions of screen center with black nothingness tiles. That is quite unintuitive and if you wipe terrain under yourself it may seem that movement keys suddenly stop working. This is especially confusing considering that ingame, those tiles do not block anything that doesn't collide with them.

i would like it if you could not edit outside the walkable/buildable area.
my map edges always look like crap.

apologies if what i'm saying is unrelated.

What? If you move to the edge of the map in the map editor it generates more of the map and then you can keep moving...

If you generate a limited map, or place some 'out-of-map' tiles yourself, the controller cannot move over the tiles

There's no point in allowing the view to go past 'out-of-map' tiles since the only thing out there is more 'out-of-map' tiles and it would just bloat the save size.

This is editor, you know, if there is no tiles, then that does not mean there won't be.
And is it difficult to shave out of the map tiles at the moment of saving the map?

I've run into this bug when trying to shrink the area actually. There is no indication of what's happening whatsoever so I've even thought the keyboard got broken.
