Can the viewport rotation be changed? I had just upgraded from using blender version 2.75 to 2.77 and I immediately found a difference between the two. Here are the differences:



default perspective 2.75



default for 2.77

When I do a custom rotation using the same coordinates, the view becomes different.


2.75


2.77

In 2.77 it's no longer rotating directly along the z-axis.

How can I rotate the viewport on the z-axis in 2.77 as it was on 2.75 (or 2.76?)
Different screenshot would be useful in your question, specifically screenshots with an expanded properties shelf (T key) in each version. My starting guess is that the models shown in the two versions may not have identical rotation settings to start with, in which case applying the rotation might resolve this issue.
