The character turns back the moment the camera angle changes while I hold the stick

In games with fixed camera angles, walking across a boundary swaps the view, and the stick suddenly means a different direction. The character does a U-turn or runs in circles. Here is the rule that keeps movement steady and when to let go of it.

Why this works

A direction the player is holding is a decision already made. Keeping it meaning the same thing until they let go respects that decision, and the moment they let go is when the new view can safely take over.

When not to use it

Not needed when the view follows the player and never jumps, or when the controls are tied to the character instead of the screen, such as a tank steered left and right. Also reconsider it where a cut is sudden and the player needs to react.
