I've got one file where I seem to have lost the ability to rotate in object mode.  I can bring up the little translation window (n key) and use that, but if I'm using the r key to rotate it just stays put.  That is, unless I'm rotating around the cursor, in which case it'll move but usually it also rotates so that it stays pointed toward the cursor too.  Anyone encountered this before?  The file is linked so you can see what I mean.

Uncheck this button... apparently it's preventing all rotating and scaling. I've never noticed it before, but apparently that's what it's doing. 😄

never encountered this particular problem before, but i do have a fix.  turn off the button that says "Move Object centers only"  this button has 3 squares on it over an arrow and is located in the header of the 3d window next to the pivot options.  i dont know why, but this seems to be causing the problem.  btw, nice model
