JPJ -> RE: Map not centering on a combat result location?? (12/4/2017 2:00:10 AM)

I open the combat report and right click on the hex location and it centres the map on the combat, however as soon as i exit the combat report the map goes back to the previously selected unit.
Is this how its supposed to work or am i missing something?
Thanks
You mean the Combat Results window, right? That is default behaviour.
During combat the map jumps to each hotspot and the Combat Results are openend after the last one. If you click on a hex in the Results, the map shows that hex with a white circle. Incidentally, if the map under the Combat Results can stay then the white circle shows up immediately; but if the map had to jump to the hex then there is no white circle the first time and I must click that hex again in the Results list to see the circle, that seems to be an error.
How the map behaves when you exit the Combat Results window seems to depend on the visibility of the selected unit. If the selected unit is visible where the map happens to be at that time, then the map stays where it is; if the selected unit is not visible, then the map tries to center on it (this also depends on the map edges etc.). This is similar when you exit the Planned Combats list window.
This repositioning seems not wrong but perhaps is not what you want or expect.
Personally I would like it more if the map stays where it is when I close the Planned Combats and Combat Results windows. I can find the selected unit myself when I want (scroll or press 5).

How do i use the combat report to centre the map on a combat? And stay there.
What you can do to avoid repositioning is zoom out and display the whole map before opening the Planned Combats dialog and before resolving combats.
You need to remember that each time though and my mouse wheel doesn't zoom well (it often skips one or more zoom levels) so it would be great if there were hotkeys for zooming between the map levels. I propose PgUp and PgDown to zoom between map levels. (Currently there are only hotkeys for the Y-zoom within a level, not between levels, if I'm correct).
Also regarding automatic map repositioning, personally I would like the option to disable the obligatory hotspot jumping of the map during combat resolve at all, to leave the map where it is when I click Resolve. (Sometimes I like to see live how my plan succeeds or fails, but it strains my eyes and often it's too long and/or too quick for me to register the details anyway and I'd like to skip to the results immediately or just hear the battle sounds in the distance and see the silver BTS swords at my pace etc.)
