Description

In the latest build of Blender it is not possible to orbit around a selecetion via pressing the middle mouse button after centering the view to a selection (Numpad .). It seems to orbit around the selection with an offset.

The easiest way to check that is to open Blender in the default Layout Workspace, select the cube, press Numpad . and try to orbit around with middle mouse button pressed.
But it is possible to rotate around a selection (after centering the view to a selection) if you use the Viewport Gizmo.

Tested and this is working properly here.

Can you double check this happens after loading factory settings? (listing any changes to preferences)

Okay,
I reloaded the factory settings and it worked properly too. Than I enabled the addons

  • »Import Images as Planes« and
  • »Node Wrangler«

and than I disabled »Auto Perspective« in Preferences -> Navigation -> »Orbit & Pan«.

Result was: It worked still properly.

And than I was a little bit sad, because I thought I will never know the reason why this happened. I closed Blender and opened again and this time I pressed »Recover Last Session« on the Splash Screen. That opened the file which I had after loading the factory settings, so that should work properly too, but it didn't. It seems to orbit around where I placed my mouse cursor. So I went to another computer and tested it there. There it was fine. Than I copied the config (~/.config/blender/2.80/config/userpref.blend) from the computer where that orbit issue occurs and tested that on the other computer. And from than on there it occured too.

I don't know any preferences that enables something like »Orbit Around Mouse Cursor«, so I decided to append my userpref.blend file for investigation if that issue occurs somewhere else.

I realized that reloading the factory settings doesn't save them into the user preferences. I thought that because it asked me something like »Do you really want to load factory settings?«^^
Okay, so what I have to do is checking every setting that differs from the factory settings. Maybe we'll find what causes this issue.

@ ronsn

Try that : https://developer.blender.org/T66252

  • delete everything in the scene/layer/etc and save the file as new start-file, and save the project

(nothing to save but necessary...) close blender.

  • start blender and load factory-settings.
  • save as start-file and close blender.
  • delete the 2.8 scripts-folder in .config/blender.
  • start blender, and make a test.

@ronsn : please report back if you found which setting/addon is causing this.
For now I will set this back to "Needs Information from User"...

Hey, sorry, I wasn't available because of holidays :/
But today I started to investigate this issue and found the cause of this issue.
It was the setting in Blenders preferences under
Navigation -> Orbit & Pan -> Checkbox: Auto Depth.
This was checked by mistake I think, because I didn't want to have Auto Perspective turned on (which is direct across Auto Depth).

I didn't even know what Auto Depth means, so when I first started looking into the preferences I did not associate it with that behavior^^

Thank you nice guys for helping =)

Although, I will report more bugs with factory settings later ?
