      Snapping out of ortho on orbit seems a logical move.

      on the mac, orbit automatically switches to perspective and remains there, doesn't that happen on a PC?

          I don't see that on my Mac. When I orbit the view shows an isometric view but it is still parallel projection.

                I select Menu >> Camera >> Parallel Projection

                I Orbit

                I check Menu >> Camera : Perspective is selected

                are you seeing something else??

                EDIT: I had left the code from above active when I started test, it causes Perspective to 'Stick'
