This can lead to unnoticed scale issues when accidentally scrolling an unlocked window, and scrolling to get the same scale back, and looking over to see what the scale is and discovering that the readout reports (no matter what you’ve scrolled to) that you’ve apparently returned to the scale you were at before scrolling
Hi David - this behavior has been fixed in Rhino 7 where you can see changes in the reported scaling factor in real-time.
