V1.05 - wild map scrolling

Playing the 1756 scenario as English. About 15 turns into the game, the map starts scrolling very fast whenever I move the mouse - so much that I cannot play the game any longer, as I cannot click on a unit and scroll a few areas to a near destination.
The slightest mouse movement will scroll half the entire map.

When I restart a new game, or re-load a saved game after re-starting the game, the problem does not exist and mouse scrolling is normal.

I have never seen this happen in weeks of game play.

I can send a saved game, but when you load it, scrolling will be normal.

Anyone else see this behaviour?

if you have the mouse button clicked and you alt-tab, then resume the game, windows will believe you still have it pressed... and this will trigger the scrolling by hold&drag (which is very fast).

Thanks for the explanation, Pocus, but I have never used ALT+TAB in any of my games of BOA. I will see if I can replicate this problem in the next game I play.
