3ds max 2015 transform gizmo disappeared a fix ctrl shift x

[darknkreepy3#]

So, I noticed that with an unknown keyboard sequence, the transform gizmo disappeared. WHere did it go? Unlike 3ds max 2010 2011 2012 etc, 'x' does not show and hide the gizmo anymore. Looking at tutorials, neither does the default 'ctrl+shift+x' in this weird circumstance.

I went to the VIEWS > SHOW TRANSFORM GIZMO and it appeared again if something was selected.

Then something odd happened. 'ctrl+shift+x' worked again to show and hide the gizmo. This is going to confuse a lot of beginner students of the 3d package.

At least 'g' still works for show | hide the grid
