Why do Viewport settings change when I use this keyboard shortcut?

Rhino Rhino for Windows
1

I have CTRL+ALT+E set up as '_Zoom _All _Extents

After using it one of my viewports will have changed from Shaded view to Wireframe view.
It doesn’t happen always. And I cant seem to pin down what triggers it.

Also, (but this might be the intended behaviour) using the shortcut also changes all Viewports back to their default view.
For example if I am viewing a model from the left:
TOP | PERSPECTIVE
FRONT | LEFT

CTRL+ALT+E changes this back to the default:
TOP | PERSPECTIVE
FRONT | RIGHT

If this happens,this always triggers the Wireframe viewmode as well ! But I don’t think it is the only trigger!

I could make a video if needed to clarify

Can you run SystemInfo in Rhino and copy/paste the results here?

Hey Simon -
I can’t seem to reproduce the behavior that you are seeing. Neither the changing of the display mode nor the changing of the view.

That’s a factory-default keyboard shortcut.

That’s a bad sign : )
Your SystemInfo looks fine so, if possible, try to narrow down when this behavior occurs. I see that you have 2 monitors attached. Are you always running Rhino on the same one?

Oops sorry talking about the wrong shortcut… Sorry, that was stupid of me

I actually meant CTRL+ALT+D : '_4View _Zoom _All _Extents

It isn’t a factory-default.

(can’t seem to edit the first post anymore)

I use both monitors for Rhino. But mostly the primary.

Hi Simon - Is it possible that there are objects outside the current shaded view that are not meshed for shaded display yet, and these are beingmeshed when they come into view (standard behavior)? It should just mesh and display correctly of course but if for some reason meshing fails on some objects it might cause a problem - somewhat shooting in the dark here…

Mmmm you mean Meshes which are offscreen and unrendered to save processing power?

I tried that and I don’t think this is what is triggering it.

I will try to figure out when it happens and come back here to report!
