Viewport strangeness mesh not refreshing (answered)

Hey Folks,

This is a strange one and it has to be a bug.
this is hard for me to describe, sorry.
I like to have my document fill up my viewport as much as I can. If the model gets scaled so large that it takes up the whole document view I can normally use the white border frame around the image to rotate/tumbe the model to get better angles.

Here is the bug, if the model fills up the document viewport, to the point were anywhere you click would be on the mesh and I click on the document in that space between the white line and the document border. I can click and hold to rotate/tumble the model. However when I release the click at the desired position the model disappears.

here is the interesting part. the mesh is not gone its just not displaying, if I use the rotate button after the model disappears the model reappears in the location that I moved it using border frame.

I hope I’m explaining this well enough. its really annoying to be all zoomed up into an area of the mesh and try to rotate the mesh ever so slightly only to have it vanish. This only happens when I use the border rotate, all other methods to rotate the mesh work fine.

Turn off Preferences>Interface>RightClick Navigation and all will be well. If you are happy with the change store the configuration (Shift+Ctrl+i).

Hey folks,

Thanks marcus_civis, that totally worked.

but what did I just shut off? as I don’t know I guess its not an issue as it fixes the problem. However I like to know why and what checkboxes are doing under the hood.

thanks again

Right-click navigation was introduced in 3.5. An advantage is that you can navigate with the cursor over the model.

*Right-click and drag to Rotate.
*Ctrl+Right-click and drag to Scale.
*Alt+Right-click and drag to Move.

Hey I was having the exact same issue and this also worked for me, if anything I just want to bump this thread so that it is more likely to show up on google searches for other users. Does anyone know why the right click causes this problem?

Word. Seems to have only just started happening with me too. I’ll give the fix a go.
