Drawing views unwanted sliding

2006 SP4.1 - XP Pro
I am surprised no one posted about this one: It seems to me that (almost)
every time I click in a view (for the first time in a given drawing), the
view slides, and I have to undo the last action.

Anything I am doing wrong?
Any setting I can change to stop this behaviour?

TIA

I can't say that I have seen this behavior, but the first thing that comes
to mind is that you are actually dragging the view. Try to watch for that -
see it that's it.

You're right.
But I do not think it is a "normal" behaviour to be able to drag the view by
sliding inside the view without holding the "alt" key. And I see that from
time to time.

Maybe some leftover of conversion from '04. I'll live with it

Thanks anyway

Try to watch to see if the times that you see it happen if you are actually
dragging the model geometry. A feature was added (I think 2005) that
allowed moving the views by dragging the geometry, so I suspect that you
actually have done that. It's a feature that I wish I could turn off as I
usually run into it when trying to move the leader of a weld symbol or
something.

Try using "lock view position"...
