Hi. I made use of Bug #76 to illustrate this bug, although this bug is not related to #76.

As you can see, I still have a cursor, due to having the popup menu open as the game ended (as per bug #76).

In the second screenshot, my view direction has changed, and there is no way to acheive this while the cursor is up - my view was changed without me doing anything, by some other means (OK, I could have used the arrow keys to turn, but I didn't):

This can happen in the readyroom before or after a game, and does not appear to correlate with any player doing anything in particular (e.g. it doesn't change when somebody joins the game or a team, presses '+use' or uses their flashlight, that I have observed). It does not happen during a game, but came happen in the period between joining a team, and the round starting.

Version 3.2b1

This has been an issue for a very very long time (almost since the first day we moved to Steam). It has something to do with the game state being "reset". It happens exactly as one game ends, and the next one starts.

Since players in the map don't really notice it (as they are being moved to their starting locations), and it doesn't really change anything for Ready Room players (it is just a momentsdisorientation) this has been accepted as normal behavior under Steam.

It's hard to say if it affects other games or not, since off the top of my head I think NS is the only game where you can be actively moving in the game, but not actually moved to an actual spawn point at round start This, of course, is because of the Ready Room.
