Hi all, 

we have noticed a strange behavior. 

  1. We set in a MapView the constraints.snapToZoom = false.
  2. We watch the scale to get the new value of it.

When we zoom with the mouse wheel, then the scale doesn't always change. After any other interaction e.g. pan, then the event is firing and the scale adapts. This behavior doesn't occur when we zoom in/out with the zoom widget and it doesn't occur either when we set the constraints.snapToZoom = true. 

Sample of code below (taken from here). Just switch the snapToZoom (line 102) from true/false and vice versa, zoom, pan to notice the behavior. Please let us know about any feedback.

UPDATE:

ok, so after some investigation, similar behavior is happening when we execute:

view.goTo({ scale: 500 }, { animate: false });

If we execute a second time, then the scale changes correctly!

If we execute it with animate: true, then the scale changes correctly from the first time!

My question at the end is: Is there a table where we can monitor when different properties of the MapView are changing based on certain events? In other words, when are certain events triggered and what properties are impacted from these events?
