I'm not exactly certain why those options work better, other than they
provides a more definite 'frame' for the 3D graphics. The rotation and zoom
action are surely a front end function and feature.

I'm also not certain why these are not the default action for Graphics3D.
Perhaps there is some downside. I provide a shortcut NiceRotation option in
Presentations and use it all the time. I just don't like the jumping around
of the image when one lets go of the mouse.

With the default behavior, if you do a little zooming first then after that
the rotation is smooth. But sometimes the zooming is unstable. So I always
use NiceRotation.

Hi David,

The SphericalRegion -> True, RotationAction -> "Clip" works!
But why is that so?

I realized that it works for Histogram3D as well.

Is it a bug or a machine specific problem? I can't seem to duplicate
the same problem on the other machine though.
