The camera sometimes locks by itself (and there is no way to unlock it)

During game sometimes without no reason the camera blocks on me (as if i clicked y). When this happens the only way to unlock it is to reconnect. Both the button on the minimap and Y don't work.

I usually run into this while dead. The closest thing to a fix I've found is clicking and dragging your mouse back and forth across the minimap like a madman. For whatever reason, that releases the camera again so you aren't looking at your abandoned corpse till you respawn.

also if it's when you die and then camera keeps locking then then unlocking after your death you can look at your minimap and above it there is a lock/unlock camera symbol and if you click and drag it into the minimap then it unlocks the camera again.

Have you tried alt-tabbing out and then back in? This usually fixes it for me whenever this happens.

Thank you guys for the answers, I'll try your suggestions when I encounter this problem again; you were very helpful. That being said, it would be really cool if a Red finally acknowledges this bug that has been present for years. Heimerdinger
