[APBeta] Field of view shows correct object for a second, then it disappears

Hi,

I wasn't sure CdC was connected at that time but I was not able to 
reproduce this morning with CdC not connected.

I want AP to tell CdC where to 'look' but not the other way around and 
only when I tell it to. I'll have to fiddle with the options to find the 
right combination of check boxes.
