I'm having a problem that is random when looking at a sketch or model of a part. The view will move all by itself. I can click on the top view button and let it sit in that oriention and at random intervals the view will shift out of that oriention by a few degrees. Has anyone seen this type of problem before?

I've seen that happen with the "zoom" function using a web wheel mouse. Have you verified that it's not an issue with your mouse, or perhaps a sticky keyboard?
 
I'm not so sure that it could be the mouse or keyboard, because it will do this when i'm not even touching the mouse or keyboard.
 
Understood, but if the mouse or keyboard is "sticky," you won't need to be touching it. Sometimes when I roll my web wheel on the mouse, it will keep zooming out in the SW view, even though I'm not touching the mouse anymore.
 
I've seen this happen with optical mice on mousepads that have a lot of white in their design. If this is the case, simply use a different pad (or none at all).
 
I've also seen this with wired mice. Adjust the mouse sensitivity, and it should go away.
 
Thanks for the suggestion ewh. I was using a light gray mousepad. Now that I stopped using that mousepad it hasen't happened.
