Short description of error

I cannot switch the view to a new created camera when there is already a camera in the scene. The view switches to the first camera in the scene.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Based on a (as simple as possible) attached .blend file with minimum amount of steps

Open Blender. There should already be a camera in the scene by default.
Create a new camera. It is selected in the outliner now.
Press " Numpad , "

Normally the view should switch to the active camera now. It switches to the view of the first camera though. And i can switch between the two cameras in the outliner as often as i want. You can just look through the first camera.

There's a workaround. When i use the View menu, and choose set active as camera then i can use the second camera too. But then i am again trapped. Now the view just looks through the second camera. No matter which camera is really selected.cameraproblem.blend

Ah, sorry, wrong hotkey. It's Numpad 0 by default. But i use center view at selection very often, and the camera nearly never, so i have switched the keys here ...

The funny thing is, i can edit an answer, but not the original report it seems. Would be nice when i could edit the text for a bug report too :)

Alright, closing then. 'Edit Task' allows for editing the original post, but that may be accessible for developers only.

Huh? Why do you close this task? The bug is still valid and reproduceable. It was just a typoe in my original message that i was unable to fix.
