Any key press or mouse button click cancels motion between plan and
elevation.  Always has done I believe.  If nothing else, it allows you to
halt the motion on a slow computer.

Is this not what people generally expect?  It's easy enough to change (just
remove the 2 lines which reset the auto-tilt).

The tilt indicator shows it's not an elevation...
