Camera - unit view problem

Sometimes when I use the Camera for next/unit view keyboard ( . ), instead of showing the side of the U-boat or ship I see the stern instead. And then if I use the arrow keys to pan right, or left for that matter, the camera swings the view clock or counter clock wise instead of right or left like it should. The game plays fine otherwise but that view problem is a bit annoying.
What the heck is that all about?

I get it too. For me, it generally happens if I watch a ship sink with the lock on view (you known the '.' and ',' buttons). And then it usually only happens when the ship breaks into two.

Stock bug that´s still with us. Mostly happens after something has put extra load on your PC, as an big explosion.
You can press and hold CTRL + left or right arrow key to "slide" the camera sideways, or leftclick your mouse and then the arrow key, that lets you rotate and "tilt" the camera up and down and with the mouse while you can pan with the arrow keys.

Just go back to any other station (like F2=command-room), and hit the , or . key again...the view will be default.

Been there done that, doesn't work on my set-up.
Saving the game in patrol then returning to it does. But that's a bunch of noise.
