Hi,

I’ve noticed that the new Box zoom tool is activated even without dragging the cursor - if you just click in the 3D view, the model will disappear, and “Zoom to fit” would be needed to show it (but causes a crash which doesn’t happen if you drag the cursor at least a little bit):

I think that the Box zoom tool should react only to dragging, like in Abaqus:

You are right, this is not the desired behaviour.

I have fixed the box zoom bug. The fix will be available in the next version.

I can confirm that it’s fixed now.
