This has been driving me nuts, and it seems to be H17 specific: 1) view through camera, 2) dive into a geo node, 3) switch from “Show All Objects” to “Hide All Objects” or vice-versa. 4) Camera view becomes unlinked.

Is there a setting somewhere, or a workaround to change the view mode without unlinking the camera view? Or is this a bug? It seems like a minor thing, but when you're working with a background plate or an animated camera, it's maddening.

Thanks for the reply. Yes - what I meant was that the view is still locked to the camera (camera name listed in the little drop-down bubble, background image shows in the viewport). *Not* that the camera is locked to the view (lock icon is lit).

We're on 17.0.459. I'll see if I can get them to download the latest production build.

if the lock icon is not activated the camera gets removed from the drop-down everytime i go into a geo node or out of it (not even have to change visibility) but the perspective doesnt change. so that still happens in .508

My officemate just tried 17.0.515, and he's still seeing the “unlinking camera” issue. We're on CentOS 7.6.1810, if that's relevant.

I guess I'll submit it as a bug.

Sort of relatedly: I could have sworn that H17 fixed the “can't see SOPs when inside a DOP net” thing, but trying it just now, I guess not. Bummer.

Yes, please submit the bug report, I can confirm this behaviour and it's annoying.
