Product / Component: Workshop — Map Widget (Viewport Auto Zoom)

Summary

After toggling the “Only update if outside viewport” setting OFF and then back ON in the Map widget’s Interface configuration, the auto-zoom behavior stops working entirely. The map no longer zooms to the configured object set or objects, and instead remains at a world-level zoom.

Steps to Reproduce

Open a Workshop module containing a Map widget.  
In the Map widget editor, navigate to Interface \> Viewport auto zoom.  
Configure auto zoom to either Object set or All objects.  
Confirm that auto zoom is working as expected (map zooms to the target objects).  
Toggle Only update if outside viewport to OFF.  
Toggle Only update if outside viewport back to ON.  
Observe the map’s zoom behavior.  
Expected Behavior

The map should continue to auto-zoom to the configured object set or objects, consistent with the behavior observed before the toggle was changed.

Actual Behavior

After toggling “Only update if outside viewport” OFF and then ON again, the map no longer auto-zooms to the target objects. The viewport remains at a world-level zoom, making the map difficult to use.

Workaround

The following steps partially restore usable behavior:

Set Only update if outside viewport to OFF.  
Set Maximum zoom limit to City.  
Note: This is not a full resolution, as the root cause (the broken toggle state) remains unaddressed.

Additional Information

The issue has been reproduced across multiple user environments.  
The bug appears to be triggered specifically by the act of toggling “Only update if outside viewport” — the toggle operation itself seems to corrupt the internal auto-zoom state.  
No other changes to the module configuration were made between the working and non-working states.  
The Map widget is using local configuration (not an imported map template).
