Display zooms in and out

[Anonymous]

I'm unsure of what is causing my problem. I have Maya 2016 student version. I'm trying to do the UVMapping tutorial. When I open the file, the display zooms in and out on it's own. I've checked my GPU drivers and, they are all up to date. I have a GTX970 GPU. Can anyone tell me what is causing this to happen? It makes it almost impossible to select UVs. Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi!

"the display zooms in and out on it's own"

??? Please add a screencast.

I've downloaded and installed screencast but, I can't figure out how to use it. I'm not sure what it will tell you even if I could figure it out. It's just that the scene view zooms in and out.

Hi!

I need more info.

As for now i only understand this:

By doing nothing your camera moves or zooms in and out of the scene in a loop like when it's animated but you don't use playback.

That's nearly impossible. This could only happen by using a script.

So with this information i can only suggest the following:

1. Import the scene into a new one.

2. Try a reset of your preferences.
Rename the folder prefs in folder 2018 to something like prefs_backup, or to reset everything, the folder 2018 to 2018_backup (or even the maya folder to maya_backup). Maya creates new folders (don't copy preferences from previous Maya versions). Detailed at:
