For some reason I can't rotate any objects anymore using the transform gizmo. Although it does register in the undo que, but I can rotate an object if I type in the values. :shrug:

Anybody had this problem before? If so, how did you fix it?

Any help is greatly appreciated. :bounce:

Maybe your gizmo is not enabled anymore. click your object, point it at the centre and hit the x key. Maybe that should help you.:)

Thanks, but unfortunately that wasn't the problem.

NEW INFO

I just noticed that whenever I try to rotate along a axis the "3D snap toggle"button turns grey. :shrug:

Check your Rotation Spinner Increment value in Preferences. It defaults at 0.5 degrees but for some reason it sometimes changes to something ridiculously small like 0.00001 degrees, meaning that the object is rotating, it's just rotating very very slowly.
