Owner

The orthographic camera toggle (#1206, GunMetal-DX port) is bound to numpad 5 (PAD_CENTER), which only works with NumLock off. With NumLock on (most people's default), numpad 5 types "5" and fires gestures bound to 5 (our SDL layer maps keypad digits to digit keys when NumLock is on, like LL on Windows). The camera floater button and View menu work either way.

Options

Pick a default that works regardless of NumLock (e.g. a modifier combo), and keep numpad 5 (NumLock off) as a second binding.
Or make keypad 5 with NumLock on toggle orthographic only when no gesture or other binding claims "5". This is riskier and less predictable.
Either way, show the binding in the camera floater tooltip and in Preferences > Controls (the key binding table row exists).

Bump the key bindings version again so saved files get the new default (see the v2 migration in LLViewerInput::loadBindingsXML).
