I initially posted this in the Class B bugs area. The problem seems to have been solved for Windows users, and the original topic has been locked. However, the problem still seems to be present in the Mac version. Also, I have managed to refine the conditions that cause the bug.
When the camera is in debug mode (either because a menu is on screen, or because it has been manually set to always be in debug mode), obsticals seem to be ignored, i.e. the camera can pass through mountains, water, buildings, &c. If the camera is in an obstacale (i.e. underwater, under a mountain) when the camera is returned to its normal mode (i.e. when the menu is closed, or the debug camera is manually turned to 'Never'), it 'springs' straight up, and ends up about as far above the obstacale as it was below the obstacale before 'springing'.
That is an ugly sentence. Sorry.
Basically, the debug camera seems to disregard obsticals.
