really wierd bug

[simwiz2]

I was the Americans in the ancient era of a civ3 game, and suddenly i lost all the keyboard commands. Not looking forward to moving everything around with the mouse, I saved the game and reloaded. It reloaded, zoomed to... China's captial! I had no contact with the chinese, nor had i even explored the land where the capital was. The city icon in the center of the big X was not visible, but everything else was - the worked tiles had the food/shields/trade icons, the production/trade, what it was building, improvements, culture. A spot on the mini-map had the fog of war removed - the 2x2 radius of the city. When i closed the city window, that 2x2 discovered area dissappeared, and everything was back to normal. I was even able to use the keyboard again.

I tried to get a screenshot but it didnt copy for some reason, and i dont know how to make the bug happen again. It has only happened to me this once, and seems harmless to the game, but it was really wierd... has anyone else seen this happen in their games?

This has happened to me a few times. Rather than losing keyboard control though, what happens is that after moving a unit, the game does not return control to the next unit. It has happened to me most often after a bombardment of some kind. After reloading, it would zoom to some AI city just as you described.
