Check to see if the following problems occur: + - the zoom starts too quickly, it's not easy to move the mouse pointer over a country in less than one second which means it zoom on the wrong area while you are still moving. + - the zoom out effect needs a delay too, it's too easy to get the mouse pointer out of the widget while scrolling. + - the zoom is not correctly centered, putting the mouse pointer over the France make it zoom in the north of England for example. + + The proposed patch as uploaded as part of ubiquity 1.8.8 can be found + here: + + + Original report: Ubuntu Hardy, alpha 6 When entering the map area to select a city, the map zooms in very quickly and jerkily. Combined with the high zoom level, this can make it difficult to see where you are in the map. I suggest that the map (a) pause for one second after you enter, before it starts zooming in; (b) takes one second (or maybe even two) to zoom in; (c) pauses for one second after you exit, before it starts moving out; and (d) takes one second (or maybe even two) to zoom out.
