Mouse behavior changed (app specific) - need to restore orbit

As the title says, this issue is application specific. In Assembly Design (same part, assembly space) I'm unable to orbit using the middle mouse button, and cannot scroll zoom with the wheel. In Part Design, the usual interaction methods work just fine. I can rotate the part in any axis and zoom with the scroll wheel. I've tried updating, reset all preferences, and restarting the apps. No change. One app works properly where the other does not. What did I do? What can be done?

Issue with Opening Filter Expansion

I have a concern regarding the behavior of the opening filter. For example, in the yellow table, when a filter is applied and the structure contains multiple levels (from L1 up to L8), the Explore window initially displays only Root and limited levels (L1/L2). The issue occurs when using: Open Advanced → "With All links & without any representation" from the explore window In this case, the operation does not complete successfully. In both NRC and Prefos logs, the last entry observed is:
