Are you doing a right click to orbit but then releasing the button without any movement?
When you right click in a viewport like that it's a shortcut for pushing the "Done" button or if you are not currently in a command it will repeat the last used command. If you have just opened a file then the last used command is Open.
If you don't want the Open command to repeat like that there is a setting in moi.ini you can use. Go to Options > General > "Edit .ini file" button and in the [Commands] section there is a setting NonRepeatingCommands, add open to it so it looks like this:
For my problem - to find visualy similar angles of surfaces i think will be better to have automatic ability made it different color when this lines on custom angle not 0\90\180\270\360.
I propose when in scene you have two or more same angle constraints - bind them a one special color. If someone add them on one angle and with custom angle i think this have sense to visualy made it clearer(For some reason user made it a couple versions and i think it can improve user expirience). When this construction lines more it can be a mess.
I think also add checker box to change it from gray to multicolor made sense too, or make also not vivid colors
Love the update! I've had a blast modelling some simple lens holders today and couldn't resist playing with the new features.
The move face feature covers one of my main pain points when switching to MoI from Rhino (would love to see ability to move edges). Heck, at this point the only annoying thing that immediately comes to my mind when I think of it, is selection priority when making fillets / chamfers. If I extrude a profile and then want add some fillets to the edges of a resulting solid the original curve overlaps with the edges - and comes in the way. Fillet command picks this curve instead of edge. Would love to have some sort of selection priority with this command - pick edges first, if none pick curve.
In Rhino this is not that annoying as Rhino asks which object you wish to select when there are overlaps (so in this case - a menu would appear with option to pick edge or curve). It's not fantastic either, but definitely less annoying.
For the time being I've mapped a key to hide curves... but that's not really great solution.
But that sounds a bit like a rant - which it really shouldn't. The update is fantastic. And a side note - I'm surprised how well in works on my Linux box with tiling window manager (Hyprland) via Wine. One of the reasons that instead of launching a VM with pcie passthrough (and LookingGlass) or grabbing my Rhino laptop I simply did the modelling in MoI (and I'm glad I did :) ).
If I open a .stp or .igs (may be others, those are just the ones I have), there is now way to know what file is open in the MoI widow. Is there a way to add the file name somewhere?
WELLl DONE Michael for this version V5 and new enhancements of Moi3D software.I finally put it in good use even I use V3 version.It shows me if object is solid or joined surfaces,which is very important for 3d printing.I always mention people that Moi3d is very precise CAD software and if they wish to customize my 3d models,they can download trial version.
Keep up with great work Michael :)

I am right clicking and dragging. I have been using it this way for years. Sometimes it will start to orbit and then stop and and open file dialog even though I am still dragging. But you are correct that its not just open, its whatever the last command I used. So if I draw a circle, then go and right click to orbit, it will sometimes go straight to drawing a circle again, sometimes it will orbit and sometimes it will orbit and then switch to drawing a circle.
Hi Len, do you possibly have another mouse you could try? If the switch on your mouse button is getting worn out and giving spurious release events that could look like that.
