XButton 1 Pan Drag cancels command

Question

Hi 
 I note this topic has been mentioned previously over the years, yet is still a problem within MS. 
 It seems panning using the mouse wheel click cancels all sorts of commands including drawing lines, etc. 
 A real pain as this is a regular method of, well, panning round a drawing whilst working on it. 
 And you've guessed, I'm fairly new to MS having over 20 years' experience with the 'other' CAD package. 
 Are there any plans afoot to fix this issue? 
 Cheers, Andrew

 no, it works fine and nothing is canceled, tested both in V8i (SELECTseries 4) and CONNECT Edition Update 11. I tested it both with mouse and also as manually entered key-in. 
 I also do not recall any similar discussion(s), the most similar was that view dragging using data point + shift has been removed from a default MicroStation configuration. 
 But maybe you talk about other pan/drag command than "pan drag" key-in, that activates "hand icon"? 
 With regards, 
 Jan

 When you start a view command it suspends any active command. When you Reset to escape the view command you will see the previous command active once more. 
 For example... 
 
 Start a place line , or any other tool, to start drawing something 
 After the first point, click one of the view control buttons to, say, zoom in, zoom out or pan the view 
 Press Reset to exit the view command 
 Continue to draw your line
