Horizontal Camera default position has changed

Having a weird problem starting this week. I’ve disabled all my addons, etc. so we can rule those out.

Any time I’m flying on a dynamic flight mount, or on my car in Undermine the camera acts like it’s default horizontal position is at 03:00. So any time I start moving forward the camera quickly swivels to the side, showing me a beautiful side profile of my character, but I now can’t see where I’m going. To combat this I’ve had to hold both mouse buttons to lock the camera angle, but that’s getting annoying. If I change the camera settings in game to “Never adjust camera” the issues go away. I would prefer to have “Only horizontal when moving” as I have for 15+ years though…

Has anyone else come across this problem or know if there’s a cvar or something that can be set to change the default horizontal camera position? I’m at my wits end and can’t find anyone else having this issue. If it’s hard to understand the issue I’m more than happy to take a video or something.

Out of curiosity have you checked to make sure that the checkbox for RECenter camera is checked

Where is that setting at I am having the same issue after patch last week

I couldn’t find that setting, but I think I figured something out. It looks like wow has saved “views” that you can cycle through using home and end by default. I don’t know how, but I think this part of the game bugged and it was automatically setting my view angle to the same one that would come up if you pressed the “end” key twice. After pressing HOME one time, the bug was broken and I could again move my camera.
