This is my setup: Browser: Chrome 27 OS: Windows 7 Leaflet version: 0.6.2 Other browsers with the same behaviour: Firefox 22, This is the example that does not work, using Leaflet 0.6.2: http://jsfiddle.net/LMDavid/znXqH/2/ And this works properly, Leaflet 0.5.1: http://jsfiddle.net/LMDavid/uWzNt/4/ The code is the same in both versions, they just use different Leaflet version. If i use a minZoom >= 2, or a zoom level >= 2 in the initial setView call it works properly.
