System Information
OS X 10.8.5 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB

Blender Version
Broken: blender-2.72 (or any other)

Short description of error
Environment is still from front view, even scene doesn't.
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Set World texture type to "Image or Movie"
Select Image (like equirectangular or sphere)
Look around a scene

World texture type "Image or Movie" doesn't correspond to observation angle.
Same result for viewport and render.
("Blender Render" engine. Cycles works fine.)

Since I can't find any working blender, maybe it's for a TODO?
Can't find it useful (to use image for world) in this situation.
Thank you for help.

Hello @FilipMond, I've just noticed that in your sample .blend file you missed to check the "Real Sky" option in the World section under the World tab, which is needed to get the background image to "move" with your view (perspective mode) or camera.

Uh ... now I became red and sweaty … sorry
… I spent so many hours to find solution … it started with confusion, that BI word "environmental" is not the same as cycles "environmental" and many other things …

If there would be a hope to get blender render UI at the same easy level as cycles …

It's such unintuitive get this image texture works, like just to make it visible we need to go at a bottom to check "Horizon".

I really apologize to you, next time I will start with forum post (I just thought I tried everything).
Thank you very much for help.

Since it's not really a bug (some things may be improved) and as it appears to have a solution, closing.

Don't worry and no need to apologize. We all went thru this trial and error process, and without mistakes you won't learn anything. BI and Cycles are two different "beasts" with their own pros and cons. It always depends on what's your final goal. Remember that your can mix renders from BI and CY in Compositing using different Scenes' settings, meaning that you have more arrows in your quiver. That's what I love of Blender: I never stop Learning, expecially from the most experienced users. Enjoy your life and happy blending!
