[Bf-committers] Modal Zoom issue

Hi all,

In the latest SVN build, when you zoom it no longer releases after you let go of the mouse button.  I set my zoom to Control + Alt + LMB.  I can zoom just fine, but when I release the mouse button the zoom stays on, turning into a rotate if I let go of the alt key.

I fixed this by modifying the 3D Zoom modal to release on any mouse click, not just middle (which is the default), and now it behaves "normally."  This is similar to the issue where strokes in sculpting continue after releasing the mouse.

If the user changes the zoom shortcut, it makes sense for that change to cascade to a release of any of the buttons required to begin the zoom operator.  Is there a way to do that?  I don't think a lot of users are going to understand that they have to modify the press and release just to get one perceived key map to change.

Thanks,
~ Charles
