Several Issues With Rhino 7

Ever since I downloaded Rhino 7, working in Rhino has become full of obstacles. For starters, panning and zooming in Rhino, with my traditional method of doing so, will stop working either as soon as I open the file, work off and on it it, or will stop working mid-work and not fix itself. Meaning I cant zoom and rotate around the views with my mouse and I have to press the options in the top toolbar.
Also, there are MANY issues with snapping and following any smart-guide paths. I basically cannot move objects or points down the desired path unless I create my own polyline guides first. And I keep finding later on that objects and lines are not snapping to corners but instead are slightly off. Along with this, I am having other issues with commands not working right as they did in Rhino6, but those are the main concerns that make the everyday work difficult.
I just got a new Macbook Pro and just installed Rhino7, so I am not sure if these issues are to do with the software, user/setting errors, my laptop, etc. Do any alarms ring for settings I need to change? (I have Smart track, Ortho, and Gumball activated) Let me know if anyone else is having these annoying issues!

Hi Olivia - please run the SystemInfo command in Rhino and copy/paste the output here.

Thanks!

Hi Olivia - do these problems show up in any file, or just some? If you start a new file and make say half a dozen boxes, can you navigate that?

-Pascal

It happens with all files at random times. Creating new files occasionally begins with a zooming issue or develops one later down the road-- it typically will be temporarily fixed when I relaunch Rhino but comes back later.

Hi Olivia -

Could you post a file and step-by-step instructions on how to reproduce this behavior?

Apart from that, we are seeing several users having serious issues with running Rhino 7 on an M1 Apple. Apparently, the OpenGL implementation on those is substantially different from the one on Intel Macs. We are looking into this but are not yet sure if we’ll be able to work around this.
