I discovered that one on Martin's laptop when I did my talk at the BCRA
conference!  I think I've found the problem, but haven't tested the fix
yet.

I've not seen this.  I wonder if it's an interaction with the error
dialog?

Perspective view works in a different way to the normal view.  The
viewpoint is at the centre of rotation for the normal view, and you fly
around inside the model.  So instead of zoom in/out, the same keys,
mouse movements, etc move the viewpoint forwards and backwards.

Once you know how it works, does that seem sensible?  Perspective
view really needs a proper viewpoint, rather than the direction + zoom
which the standard aven view uses.

Oops, I forgot to mention that the following aren't yet working:

* Grid

* Crosses are shown, but the size and orientation changes in odd ways

* Blobs for entrances, etc are square not round

* Labels display in front of everything - it's not clear what the best
  approach is here, since you don't want a label be inside a solid
  passage!
