Map panning uncontrollably

Since the last update, I have been experiencing problems with the in-game zone maps uncontrollably panning to the top of the map. It doesn't happen with all zones, but when it happens, the section of the map visible in the map display will slide inexorably downward until it shows the top edge of the map. When I move, the map recenters to my position, but it's obvious from the way the map jerks as I move that the movement recentering and the downward slide are fighting each other, and if I stop moving, the map resumes sliding downward. If I manually scroll the map back up, as soon as my finger comes off the mouse button the map starts sliding down again. This makes the map pretty much useless.
