No biggy but when you use either area fire 'z' or fire smoke 'x' the exit buttons also scrolls the game right.

This is probably due to there being three buttons and a large scroll area.

Some command option don't cause a problem e.g set range as no scrolling is possible. Obviously not an option in the first two.

:doh:

What you are complaining about is the game trying to center the unit on screen to the map edges based on where it is in relation to the four borders of the map and what zoom in/out level you are set to

Those buttons have NOTHING to do with what you are seeing. It's been a normal game function for decades

Why anyone would use those keys to zoom in or out the map when it's simpler to just use the number pad - or +on the keyboard is beyond me but they have nothing to do with what you see the game do when you Z fire or X smoke when a unit has smoke

... or just set your scroll area to be smaller...

I'm not complaining, i'm informing you of something so the game can be improved however small that improvement may be. If you don't want peaple to pass on things like this just say so.

I'm not refering to the use of the buttons, i fact I never use the -/+ buttons but I do use the exit button but it's not the pressing the button that causes the problem but hovering over which also makes the scroll right.

Thanks, found the solution in the game options. Before posting I looked in game but could not find out how to do this and forgot about the game options.
