[OrbitCamera] orbits the origin, not the target | TiXL | Page 1

The title pretty much says it. I'm in TiXL v4.0.5.3, so if someone could reproduce this on the latest version that would be great.
To reproduce:

Create a 3D object and move it away from the origin (say, to 5,0,0)
Add [OrbitCamera] to the scene
Set the camera's target to the same position as the object (5,0,0)
Note that the camera points toward the object correctly, but does not orbit it anymore. It's still centered around the origin.

I can reproduce it in Tixl 4.1.0.2 alpha
In OrbitCamera.cs commenting line 122 and uncommenting line 123 fixes the issue
use PositionOffset to decide where is the orbit center

#

here i show how [OrbitCamera] is behaving once its .cs is modified.
and an alternative way to orbit with [OscillateVec3] and [Camera]

maybe the OrbitCamera.cs fix I found is not the best way to do it

Good catch. Is this a regression?
