OK, I can reproduce this - the code which handles "mouse button
released" events assumes that mouse buttons clicks don't overlap.

Fixing the assertion is easy, but making the result work in a way which
feels natural will take a little more work.  I'll get that done for the
next release.

The only thought I have is that the last export format used is saved so
we can default to it next time we export (in the registry on Windows; in
~/.aven on Unix).  If 1.2.7b stored an invalid value there, maybe we
crash trying to handle that when we come to read it and set it as the
default.  But that's only read for Export, not Print, and the code which
handles it should just default to the first entry if the stored value
doesn't match any of them.  If I change it by hand on Linux, that indeed
happens.

Does anyone else see this with 1.2.8 or 1.2.9?

Brian: Is this with all .3d files you've tried?  Can you share an
example one?
