It seems you havent read the answers or didn't try properly:

This seems to me that really you miss to read some documentation...
There is an Icon for zoom fit or you find it in the menu:
Menu->View->Standard views->Fit all
It's the first entry in the submenu.

It is possible that there is an error, then a bug report is required, but it is definitely not a feature request (for something new).

FC crashes when using gesture rotation + focus (holding H key) - part still doesn't rotate about its center after panning the part around.
Made bug https://www.freecadweb.org/tracker/view.php?id=3394
FYI the official FC FreeCAD_0.17.13452.glibc2.17-x86_64.AppImage doesn't crash on Ubuntu 16.04 ...
I also cannot find any issue with Gesture in FreeCAD-asm3-20180306-b7b9031f-827d2c0.glibc2.17-x86_64.AppImage

Anyway if you want to get your 'experimental' release to be fixed, you need to report an issue on the author GH page
https://github.com/realthunder/FreeCAD_assembly3
and not make useless noise at official FC tracker

You had been told twice before how to rotate a part. The bug reporting guide says you should discuss issues here in the forum. That includes reading the answers. You did not link this conversation to the bug report. I will close the, as it works perfectly!

For your next bug report, which hopefully will be useful, please attach an example as simple as possible.

Made a screencast.

It still orbits if zoomed out rendering the rotation very buggy.

It seems you don't pay attention to suggestions..
I said 'Zoom Fit' and not 'Zoom Out'

if it is a bug it seems to be a PEBCAK ;)

Denying this is a horrible bug is sad, but closing a legitimate bug is worse. Made screencast to prove my point. Likely last screencast anyways.

I found a lot of other bugs also, wonder why they aren't being closed too. Bug I filed should be reopened https://www.freecadweb.org/tracker/view.php?id=3417
