(this is in windowed mode, Windows XP, SP3)
When I first pressed 'a' the field scrolled to the top left corner. pressing 1,2 ... selects(and centers on) the correct soldier, but the map immediatly scrolls again to top left corner. this is in windowed mode. Unrelated, but annoying : when my mouse pointer leaves the UFO-window it also keeps scrolling in the direction the pointer left the window. It's very hard to scroll on the battlefield when you are in windowed (as opposed to full screen) mode

even in windowed mode you can grab the mouse. hit ctrl+g

That's a good tip. It doesn't solve the problem though ... after hitting 'a' it keeps going to the top left corner.

I cannot reproduce the hanging scrolling on pressing 'a' on recent master version (v2.4dev).

Playing windowed without having the mouse locked inside the ufo window is hard though.
We should expose the info about CTRL+G to the player and maybe add a option to grab the mouse to the gameplay or fullscreen/windowed settings.

Implemented (for v2.5dev) here:
