Character Runs in Slow Arc

From time to time my camera aspect insists on doing a slow roll to the right which, when I'm trying to run my character in a straight line, means I'm continually having to correct her path of travel. Also, when I'm targeting a mob the camera aspect wants to turn to the right. Think of having to make continual corrections on an older super overpowered single-engine aircraft. In my case it's more than an annoyance.

This may not sound like much of problem, but I have MS and keeping my characters moving where I want them to go, or keeping the reticule on target is unnecessarily fatiguing.

The issue had gone away altogether about a week ago, but with today's patch it has returned. Initially, I thought it might be my mouse going haywire, so I switched to another and it did not abate the problem. I've fiddled with the various settings in-game, but nothing seems to remedy the problem.

Two questions:

1. Is anyone else experiencing this phenomena?
2. Is there a fix?

Thank you in advance for any recommendations.

(If this question has been asked before, I apologize; I did search here and elsewhere before posting.)

    I have an issue which is similar to this i'm not sure if this is exactly what yours is doing (as you mention it being a camera issue whereas mine is more of a direction of movement).
    Mine is not actually the camera, its the character movement 'pulling' to the left / right, almost as it a key has got stuck on the keyboard. I found that tapping the offending direction key tends to fix this.

    That's it, Moyana. I shall try your remedy; thank you very much.

    Didn't get a chance to try your remedy, Moyana. When I logged back in the problem no longer existed.

    So, I'm left with this question: what is causing this to happen? I don't mind doing the re-log, but I'm nonetheless curious.

    I wonder the same thing, I'm 99% certain it's not my keyboard locking up. However I have noticed this happen in other games (with an older keyboard) I suppose it's just one of those things that happens now and then.
