Horizontal scroll w/ mouse wheel breaks camera zoom and instead tilts camera

This is an intended feature actually. It’s there to make it easier to scroll a scrolling frame horizontally.

You can directly modify the Camera module to remove this feature actually. I’ve done it before but I’m not sure what happened to the place file.

I’ll see if I can replicate this fix again and get back to you ASAP.

However, for the most part, there’s no temporary fix besides just disabling the Control key which by itself sounds like a huge problem that shouldn’t be made.

Issue is still happening. I’m on macbook and this issue is present without even pressing ctrl or doing anything, making most games unplayable. Issue is same on my windows computer, but is triggered when scrolling while holding Ctrl. Please fix

I had this issue and I can’t fix it as well as I can’t rejoin because Bed wars makes different worlds for every game, it’s horrible I hope Roblox fixed it. I can’t place anything.

This bug has been going on for 2 years now, and has yet to stop occuring on both my Trackpad, Wired Dell Mouse, and Wireless Logitech mouse.

None of these have horizontal scroll wheels.

True, And now it happened in my OWN GAME. It’s so hard. I had to lock my game with modal dialogs and first person view :frowning: I also never even have a horizontal scroll mouse.

Putting in my contribution to the eternally unfixed but extremely annoying bug.

Games that emulate modern FPS controls will bind CTRL to crouch, and will often use the scroll wheel to switch weapons. Guess how many times players need to switch weapons while crouching behind cover?

such as islands and bedwars? where control is for camera lock.

Sure I guess? I don’t actually play those two, but the point still stands that this is a bug that’s very easily replicated on purpose or by accident, was first reported almost two years ago, and adversely affects the player’s experience. It’s absurd that it’s been unresolved for so long.

Bumping again, issue seems to derive from the ctrl button for some reason since when I hold it then scroll then release and keep scrolling it appears to start the issue. This is really annoying for games that bind certain actions to ctrl.

Still going on, wow, I really hope this will be changed.

I’ve just come across this bug in 2021. My mouse doesn’t scroll sideways, so I’m not sure how I managed to get this to happen to me. Either way, this tilting function needs to be removed or fixed.

Today’s Roblox update Release 502 includes this:

This sounds like it’s probably a fix for this bug. Can anyone confirm?

Turns out it’s not. Disappointing.

So, I’ve had the sudden realization that this bug might only occur when a controller is plugged in.

When I unplugged my XB360 Guitar Hero controller, I stopped getting the camera bug. (The bug might perhaps even only occur when a button or a joystick is being constantly held down, because my GH controller’s whammy bar constantly keeps the right joystick held at an angle while it’s at rest.)

I can try testing this out later and seeing if I can consistently replicate the bug with a controller.

Can anyone say for certain that they’ve seen this bug without a controller plugged in?

Can we pleeeeease get this fixed?

It’s definitely related to the latest camera system as Jailbreak used to not have this issue until we finally updated our camera scripts this past week. I’ve also noticed that holding Shift? (maybe it was control) spins the camera on another axis. So this might be an intentional feature but it’s awful not being able to zoom in our out from your character, vehicle, etc.

No, I always experience this with anything (but mostly with my mouse)
Usually, it happens to me in games that want you to press control or shift or both. Due to that, this issue happens to me in games like Voxel Craft and BedWars.

You can fix the problem by leaving the game. (which should not be an option because of how absurd it sounds)

Even if you get teleported to another place/game while still in the Roblox Player the problem will still persist.

I have seen some games that counter this issue somehow, though.
