This is fixed in 0.9 which is by now completely stable, the only things that we are fixing are related to the project generator so you can use the nightly builds without problem and your project will be compatible with the final release.
If you still don't want to port to 0.9 you can probably get the ofEasyCam class from 0.9 and put in 0.8.4 but there's several things that have changed and you might need to fix to make it work with it
