<p dir="auto">The automatic zoom-on-select is a barrier to freely exploring the overlayed map data.</p>
<p dir="auto">For instance when analyzing which ways have what tags the map needs to be at a high zoom level to resolve which way to click on. E.g. this can happen when a bridleway or other path is very close (within a couple of metres) to a district boundary. If the way for the district boundary is mistakenly clicked on (during seeking of the bridleway / path component ways) there's a moment of resignation and a frustrating pause while the map zooms out to the district boundary and a short wait to be advised to zoom back in because there's now too much data!</p>
<p dir="auto">One way to mitigate this problem might be to have the option of suppressing the zooming behaviour by holding down a shift or control key during the mouse click that selects an overlay.</p>
<p dir="auto">Another method might be to turn off the default zoom behaviour and instead add a zoom-object-into-view button on the side panel for the selected node/ way / relation.</p>
