Help, what is going on with my viewport - perspective view?

OK, I'm coming from Cinema 4D and all its keyboard shortcuts.
I keep messing myself up in Houdini trying to use them.

So now my viewport is like the uploaded photo.
If you look at the perspective view, it's all stretched out and messed up.
However, the orthographic views are all normal.

I started a new project and everything is fine, but when I open this project, the perspective view is all stretched.

Any help would be appreciated.

Jim

I'll bet you a beer that you have some weird object level scaling on one of your objects
check to make sure that the Scale Parameter of all you Objects are uniform:
1, 1, 1 … 3, 3, 3, is OK
1, 2, 5 is NOT OK

if you want to scale at the Object Level it's best to use the Uniform Scale Parameter

Why would it be scaling if the other viewports show the same sphere as normal?

This happens when I attempt to add a primitive as well. If I try to add a cube, it's all stretched. If I try to add a sphere, it's all stretched.

Is there a scaling in the perspective view I'm missing?

Change the top right of the Scene View to ‘Show All Objects’ to make the orthographic viewports have stretched handles.

To answer the equation ‘why’, it's because the code tells it to display it that way

can you attach an example scene?
this only ever happens to me when I have a non-uniform scale at the object level
but if it's something else a scene file would help track it down

Yep - the obj level needs to be non-uniformed scaled, but it changes the orthographic viewport behaviour based on the Hide Others/show all. See attached gif.

Cheers
