Issue 3664
With some projects, the view port freezes and is no longer updated
This is a strange problem that happens occasionally and is hard to reproduce. However, today I was working on a very simple project, which seems to cause the view port to freeze almost every time.
Follow this link to download a ZIP file with the project:
http://www.virtualrealist.com/uploads/viewport_freezing_problem.zip .
Unzip the file and then load the project. It will show a texture on a plane, filling almost the whole view port (which has a square aspect ratio).
The current camera is "Camera". Try switching to Preview, which should change the point of view but doesn't. (At least for me it doesn't.)
The user interface is still active (the file can be saved for example), but the view port is frozen.
Another way to test is by selecting a light and trying to rotate it. The view port image does not change.
I have no explanation for this, but I have had it happen randomly with other projects and also in earlier 7.x versions.
OS: Windows 10 Pro. GPU: GTX 1080 with driver version 385.41. I use this driver release because later drivers caused stability problems.
