Using the default install of SH5 Enhanced:
Right clicking on most officer icons kicks you into an "external station" mode.
Loading a save game restores movement.
Watch Officer icon seems to not result in this problem
Steps from cause to fix:
1. From surfaced if you rclick on an officer other than WO,
2. Then toggle to external camera using upper right circle button,
3. Then click that again to "go to submarine",
4. You can now switch to binoculars and it seems to restore movement/camera control.
From submerged if you enter this mode, you need to surface first, follow the "from surfaced" steps 2-4, then it'll restore you to where you were in the sub, able to move.
From an existing station the behavior is different. From all internal stations if you rclick on someone you seem to enter "their station" and can simply "exit station" to get back full control. The interesting thing is if you rclick the sonarguy you can see/hear what he's seeing and hearing, ie contact lines on the TAI. This might be an interesting debugging tool! heh The scope view "external stations" seem locked in a 45 degree view arc, while other stations have your camera bobbing around the station you were in.
Hopefully those steps will help you track down what's causing this.
