AJAX zooming is messed up

[waltweltonlair]

1. Open the Sheboygan sample data using AJAX viewer.

2. Click on the zoom out toolbar button (-).

3. Click a few times on the left side of the map => on each the map zooms out, but incorrectly shifts towards the right

4. Click on the zoom in (+) portion of the slider => the map zoomsin, but continues shiting incorrectly towards the right

This is a regression.

My mistake - this isn't a regression. The zoom behavior could be improved though by keeping the map point on which you clicked at the same position on the screen. It would then behave similarly to how the wheel zoom works.

I've lowered the priority / severity on this one.

Google Maps and Microsoft's maps.live.com both behave the same way - they zoom and re-center the map when you double-click on the map. So I'm not sure that we should change the existing behavior in MapGuide, since it appears to be standard.

I just checked DWF Viewer, and it also works like AJAX / Google Maps / etc.

I guess I was a bit too spontaneous about entering this ticket - should have thought about it a little first.

I think we shouold close this one as "wontfix" (="working as designed").

Closing this ticket - works as designed, and is consistent with other map viewing applications.
