Maya - objects in scene are deselected after moving camera

[TahleN]

In Maya 2013, when I have an object in sub-object mode (vertex, face, edge, etc) and move the camera, that object gets deselected. This happens if I use my Space Pilot or the mouse, but goes away if I unplug the Space Pilot or unload 3DxMaya.mll.

I am on the latest drivers (3.16.3) and have tried a clean uninstall/reinstall of the drivers, deleting my Maya Prefs, and a full reinstall of Maya. None of these have helped.

One thing I have noticed is that when I move the camera (with mouse or Space Pilot) while 3DxMaya is loaded, the following commands are executed after the move: "autoUpdateAttrEd; updateAnimLayerEditor("AnimLayerTab"); statusLineUpdateInputField;" When 3DxMaya is unloaded, these commands do not run. Are they related to this issue?

Has anyone else run into this? How do I fix it?

After more searching, it looks like this issue is being investigated here: viewtopic.php?f=25&t=5107. I will follow this there.

That post was from 2012.
You are using an outdated driver?
The currently supported driver is 3.17.8

Uninstall the driver you have.
Perform a clean install, the profiles may not work correctly with the newer driver.

I have the EXACT same problem.

I am using the latest drivers (10.0.22) and have not have any other drivers installed.

Running Maya 2015, on a Dell T3610 with all ISV certified drivers, including the certified driver from Nvidia for Maya 2015.

Does anyone know of any work arounds? It is really slowing me down....

Thanks.
