Just installed the demo (2.2.1.0) (max 2013 64, pu 6)
i create a box, add it to the shematic view, (or any other action for that matter) and my view changes to realistic (but only if i refresh the screen manually - e.g. pan the view).
Furthermore i noticed, as soon as i added the box, the realistic view got messed up - like the scene extends moved far into space - the shadows are low res, z-fightig occurs. (node preview rendering causes that?)
Also if the zookeeper window is open, and i (e.g) add a modifier through the max interface, the view jumps to realistic.
Ok - i think i figured the source - the node preview - if i set it to "show icon" it doesnt happen anymore.
any ideas?
