Disappearing screen

[Tom Flyer]

Still running v9.1/SP2 here, and I experienced a completely blank screen yesterday after using F2 to unzoom a portion of the display. Total freakout.

Screen Stats showed oodles of entities, Level Manager reported that there was stuff there, and I didn't hit Blank Everything accidentally. I saved the file anyway and exiting and restarted MC to no avail. I rebooted the machine and started MC and still no show.

So, I hit F9 to display the origin lines and started zooming in on the intersection of the axes. After about 4 F1s, I got a tiny visible dot... several more zooms and my screen was visible again.

What would cause the screen to zoom out to Pluto like this, and raise my BP to over 200? I can do without these late afternoon adrenaline rushes.

Sheesh!

A similar thing has happened to me before.

 

It was caused by some entity accidentally placed somewhere near the vicinity of Jupiter.

 

I zoomed in on the origin then deleted w/ window (all entities outside the window) and it fixed it.

 

Has also happened w/ hidden or blanked entities.

Next time, try Screen-Regenerate.
