Bug - Pan and Orbit mouse commands have stopped working

Hello, first post here but just wanted this to be known. Out of the blue, the pan and orbit mouse commands no longer work for Fusion 360. Attempting to pan with the middle mouse button will just display the 'wait cursor' (using Apple M1 Mac here) and no response. Attempting to orbit using any key combo + mouse has no effect. Under 'Preferences > Preferences controlling general UI behavior' 'Pan, Zoom, Orbit shortcuts' is set to 'Fusion 360'. Setting 'Pan, Zoom, Orbit shortcuts' to anything else like 'Solidworks' doesn't fix the problem. I've since updated Fusion to 2.0.17954 arm64 [Native] and I'm running it on macOS 13.3.1 on a 2021 MacBook Pro, which I have previously been able to run with no problems. I've since uninstalled and reinstalled a fresh copy of Fusion 360, with the same issue. Also, all the grid lines have stopped showing, with the exception of when I make a new sketch. Making a new sketch somehow fixes some of the issues like the orbit, but not pan 😓. I've included a video of what it looks like right now; I can manually select pan and orbit from the toolbar but it's nearly unusable now that I can't see the grid lines. The only workaround I can think of is creating a sketch and then working off that. Anyway, maybe someone else is in the same boat and this gets its way to the eyes of someone who can help. Thanks everyone.

Yes. I'm in the same boat.  I have been seeing this issue for a little over a week now.  I now have to select everything from the toolbar such as pan and orbit.  I hope to see a solution soon.

I was having the same issue with Orbit and it turned out to be the graphics settings. Under General Preferences, change the graphics driver to "DirectX9". Mine was set to auto and after changing it, everything seems to work: hopefully it works for you
