lock on character bug

i have a problem in game with the fact that at random times when clicking on a character will lock the entire screen onto that character so only when the character moves to the edge of the screen does the screen move. at the same time this happens all the mouse buttons (i have 14 only the standard 2 buttons are used in the game the rest normally does not work) are turned into attack commands no matter where you click the will move there and start attacking

My brother got stuck on accidentally tracking a unit. Created a control group to get out of it. Bit of a pain. Not as bad as his CTD he suffered later.

if the problem is on a constructor i can sometimes get out of it by building something after stopping the current build but on a dreadnought or other attack character i can only stop the game and restart. if i save and load while i am stuck on a character i will be stuck after loading. and that still does nog explain that all my buttons even the ones that did normally not work in the game turned to attack with every click. if the developers see this please make it so that you can only track a character when you click on a command to do so. if it happens when there is a command for it you can just undo the command. and btw a tutorial would not hurt hopefully it will be there soon because it is a good game.

I think that was ctrl+click on unit that locks the camera to follow mode.  I haven't found a key to release it.  Only way is to use control group.

I could be one of the F1-12 keys that releases it.
