When clicking certain menu buttons on the main menu, the panorama state when spinning around is not saved and instead resets to the beginning.
This happens with the Multiplayer button and Options button.
This only happens when closing these menus via escape. Clicking the respective cancel/done buttons properly resumes the panorama state. When closing any other menu (such as Singleplayer) with either escape or the cancel/done button, the panorama spinning always resumes.
This seems to be somewhat related to MC-13118
The issue has been addressed in 24w09a following menu adjustments. This bug impacted all menus that previously altered the splash text upon exiting. Unfortunately, the functionality of changing the splash text by exiting menus has also been removed, as confirmed intentional per MC-268931.
