Center position on GPS deactivation

[EulenspiegelTill]

When in the field with gps and collecting repetetive point after point for example the solution was to tick the black button to snap the cursor on the gps. Now there ist the posibility to center te position on the gps an follow it with the blue button.

When out in the bushes the an the blue button is pushed the screen follows nicely after the gps position, very nice! The only problem is that when you tab the screen (when saving an object not on the save button-the lazy way or touching it not on purpose) the option is deactivated, what are the thoughts behind that?

Specification: When doing repetitive Fieldwork, i often not use the save object button (floppydisk), instead i tab in the middle of the screen. doing this procedure de following gps button is deactivated.

proposed workaraound: Would it be possible to use the same margin (box) as in the following function, when deactivate ist? As when ou manualy move with the finger the cursor out of the bounding box, then deactivating the following function.

I'll have a look at the Question 2 part of this issue. If you move the canvas, it'll definitively "unlock" the follow state. But it shouldn't unlock on a simple canvas tap.

Additional steps to reproduce would be welcome.

As for Question 1, I don't think canvas locked on / following location can replace the other feature as the canvas doesn't constantly readjust itself upon every single location change.

@nirvn I updated the issue on top with some suggestion.
