    I can get insert the detail view, but it's empty. Anyone else?

    It turned out it had something to do with refusing to place the detail
    circle on the view I had active. I could even Lock View to that view
    and it still would end up as part of a different (projected) view.
    After deleting the projected view in question I could get it to work
    right.

    Bottom line -- I do think it's a bug, but not the bug I originally
    thought it was. The workaround is to find out where the detail circle
    is getting placed (which view).

    i didn't activate (double-click) my view. i just rolled over the view with
    mouse, drew a circle and bam, instant detail view. :)

    Apparently another way to avoid the problem (workaround). I chose the
    detail view icon first. Shouldn't matter, but maybe it does.

    Hmmm . . .
    That projected view that caused the problem was like an isometric that
    was plopped down automatically after I plopped down the main view (as a
    Named View). In SW2005 if you don't hit an ESCape key you seem to
    continually are able to plop down additional projected views of the
    first view you create. An isometric doesn't seem like it would follow
    automatically as a projected view, but it does seem to give you an ISO
    view under some conditions. I haven't quite figured out those
    conditions yet. It's a little squirrelly, but nice.
