Fit to Window

[searlejr]

I don't think this is only a problem with the latest version, as I can reproduce it under 3.6 as well. It may also be that I've simply misunderstood what's supposed to happen!

If you load a model and then more or less randomly zoom either in or out a bit separately on each of the three ortho views so that they're all different relative sizes (as might happen after a period of modelling - it does with our students anyway!), you can then use the 'F' shortcut three times (i.e. once per window) to re-fit each model to its own window view.

If, with the same three different zoomed model views, you use CTRL-F then only one of the views is properly fitted, the other two are not. I guess the re-scaling factor seems only to be calculated once, for the window where the CTRL-F was clicked? The same factor then seems to get applied to the other view windows - which in fact really need their own independent sizing factors to be calculated.

What I was 'expecting' (hoping?) is that regardless of where you clicked CTRL-F, that each of the three ortho views would then be separately re-fitted, just as if you'd clicked 'F' independently in each of them....

Control F was not what you were hoping for, but you have found a bug. Control F was meant to fit the whole model (regardless of selection) but there was a bug in it which meant some of the zooms could be out.

I have fixed it now so that:

f key in a view - fits the selection to the window
Control + f (or View->fit selection) - fits the selection into all views (this is what you expected)
Control + Shift + f (or View->fit all) - fits the entire model into all views.

(it meant that the control+shift+f accelerator on Fragment had to go but I think this destructive function should probably not have a key accelerator - other than the standard alt menu keys)

There will be a minor update soon (probably 4.0a) which will include this fix and fixes for a couple of other minor problems.
