I have what seems to me an issue with Vue 7 but e-on told me that it was normal, I'm not so sure about that and if it is then I don't know how to deal with it....

I am posting a screen shot to illustrate what I mean. It's a shot of the exact same thing in Vue 6 and Vue 7, it was taken while clicked on the very same tree.

So, when I click on an object in V 7 it is not showing me the actual place my object is, instead it shows it much closer so this makes it quite impossible to place things as I never know where I am in the scene. I did not have this with V 6 so I don't understand why it is doing it with V 7. E-on says that it is normal but then I don't understand how I can build my scene and e-on does not want to answer this question, I contacted them 4 times with no answer... so I'm kinda stuck and unable to work with V 7. 
Is this really normal and if so then how do you deal with it? 

Thank you so much for your help, I really don't know what to do about this.
