Poly object selected - no orbit! *baffled*

Narrowing things down... on a fresh computer reboot.. all is well.. however as soon as a use alt+lmb it does this strange thing.... I sometimes trip and use this shortcut.. but this wasn't an issue before.

Have you updated your graphic card or its driver recently?
Try if this is an issue with software vs OGL shading.

I've seena very similar issue once when mercy severity was working on a model, no Id ea what she did, and not entirely sure how I fixed it, but it was basiclaly like the rotation tool was stuck and wouldnt' let up, we were tryign to selection some edges but all tools and shortcuts woudln't work, I coudl sitll work in the AM and menus and such, but couldn't modify or select anything

This is out of the blue.. just started happening. I will post it to Maxon. This is on one machine, I uninstalled and installed on another machine and no problem. Reinstalled back on the one I was having issues and it didn't fix issue.

That is just bugger weird. I have know idea what is causing it. Anything new or different about the machine that is having this issue?

Nothing changed. I was doing some work in bodypaint and now I get this. And its sucks.

On a related thread, where does C4D store all its prefs and settings. I deleted the prefs in the prefs folder, so I know about that one. Here's why I ask and I even deleted the Maxon folder (after a C4D uninstall> and yet when I reinstalled, C4D knew my serials and I didn't have to input them, so now I'm thinking I didn't get a full uninstall.

Seems as if the strange buggers are increasing latley :)

I've got this one: Somtimes (not everytime) when I use "Save as" on a scene I suddenly can't move, rotate or scale an object. When I try to use this tools it only moves around the Camera. So I select "move" and click-and-drag around to move my cube all I get is moving action of the Camera. When I try to rotate my cube all I get is moving action of the camera. Same with scaling.

Only a reboot fixes this. It appeard in Version 9.everynumber. In 8 I did not have this problem.

I reboot, and it works ok with 1,2,3 hotkeys but as soon as I use the alt key it reverts to this 'bug'.

Maxon asked me to reload vid drivers and mouse drivers. So I will, and then... if that doesn't work it may be that I just have to wipe the system.

[duderender]

Ok, I tried reloading drivers and still for some reason the "alt" key is tripping up and causing the issue. So I have chose to reload the whole computer :(

As I side note, I believe this is isolated to 9.521 and not 9.501

I have had a simlar problem in another app where nothing was saving when I hit commad-S. The problem was actually my keyboard, because the command key on the other side worked fine.

Just a thought...
