System:
Demo version: RC1 w/patch v. 1.0
Operating system:  Windows XP
RAM: not sure, but it's a lot because we've added tons extra
Video Card Manufacturer:  NVidia (I think)
Video Card Model:  not sure  (sorry these are all so vague)

Location:
Chapter: 1
Isle: Crown
Scene:  when looking at the map of the Green Isles in order to sail to the Isle of the Sacred Mountain
Cursor used (if applicable):  walk or look
Action performed (if applicable):  Click on boat with either feet or eye cursor (the only two available), hold button down, and drag. 

Result (pick one):
- Malfunction
- Mistake
Don't know how you'd classify it, I was actually rather entertained for a while, playing with it.  But I found that if you click on the boat and drag the mouse, you can make the boat flip every which way, upside down, sideways, swing around, etc.  And if you do the same but right-click instead of left-click, you can make the boat a little bigger or a LOT tinier.  I shrank my boat down until it was maybe half the size of the eye cursor and sailed it around for a little while.  It will still land at the Isle of the Sacred Mountain and get you to the oracle scene, as will flipping it all around and then trying to sail (it will right itself) but I figured that maybe all the acrobatics and size-changing tricks weren't supposed to happen.   Oh, and I tried it a few times to see if it was just a one-time thing, and I was able to play with it every time.  I thought it was pretty fun though =)

Apologies if this was posted elsewhere.  I looked through all the threads last night and didn't see anyone else mention it.

Hahaha this wasn't posted anywhere else, but it does sound like fun! XD
*makes mental note to ask McDonalds for a Supersized Ferry next time*

Anyway, it's being caused because it's using the same code the 3D Viewport is.  This will be very simple to fix. :)
