Wrong zoom level beyond 45.88°N and 45.88°S

[bjoeni]

For some reason Cesium uses a lower zoom level north of 45.88°N and south of 45.88°S when terrain is activated. It also happens when terrain is disabled, but a bit closer to the equator (somewhere around 45°).

It does not depend on tilt/rotation/roll, and the imagery appears pixelated when zooming in. It appears to be constantly using tiles of one zoom level less than it should (e.g. when zooming in the tiles closer to the pole switch from 13 to 14 while at exactly the same time the ones closer to the equator switch from 14 to 15). That appears to be the case at any zoom level but is obviously more notable the closer you get.

It also is not an issue with the tiles as it happens with any tile provider, including those served through Cesium Ion.

I'm still using Cesium 1.76 but it also happens in the sandcastle with Cesium 1.8.
