zoomToRectangle/Point/Feature - not precise

[monicasocol@…]

The zoomRectangle, zoomPoint and ZoomToFeature are not precise enough when 
zooming from a large extent to a small extent. Zooming a small amount works 
well. When you start from the full extent of the map and try zoomRectangle() 
for example, it zooms in, but it is not centering to that rectangle. 
A work around will be to calculate the centroid of the rectangle and recenter 
to that point after zooming in, but this will refresh the map again so double 
the time for the operation --- it is not a good solution.

Sometimes the apparent error is caused by the fact that the extents in the
mapObj are not properly reset to match the width/height of the map image on
which the zoom operation is performed. Please make sure that's not the problem.

Also, can you please help us help you by providing a small testcase to reproduce
the issue, i.e. a mapfile, with a little script that does a zoom operation and
shows the result you get and what the expected result should have been.

Have you tried what is suggested in comment #1 ? If this is still an issue, 
could you please provide samples to easily reproduce this.
