If it is recentering, it is doing it wrong.
The producer in most cases is a non-moving city, so the unit is not moving.
Also, it moves the map the distance the *previous* unit moved.

I noticed recently that if I scroll the map by leaving the mouse on the edge,
it also shifts around strangely int the same place, but not as much as
it might have using the previous unit's movement.  (I.e, whatever the problem,
it is reset by scrolling the map.)

Sometimes the producing unit is scrolled off the map so that I can't find
it to click on it.

It happens every time I do what I described above.
It only depends on the DISTANCE the mover moved or distance the map was
scrolled, not on the position of either the mover or the producer.
