Don't use a mac so can't say what happened, however one can still access the mouse mode via Edit>Preferences>Display>Navigation>Mouse.

Right mouse click in the 3D window should bring up "Navigation Styles"

I know I can right click, I’m just wondering how to get the navigation icon back on my report panel.

Something is not adding up.

The Report Panel never contains the navigation icons; the Status Bar does.

Can you attach a simple screen capture that shows the location of the missing icon?

I did when I started this thread. It’s the blue button on the bottom, in this case it says “Blender”. It’s attached to the report bar (panel). It was there when I first installed FeeCAD a few days ago.

Sorry, you are correct. I just click view “status bar” and it came up.
Thanks for your patience.
