System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.19045-SP0 64 Bits
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 536.67

Blender Version
Broken: version: 3.6.0, branch: blender-v3.6-release, commit date: 2023-06-27 08:08, hash: c7fc78b81ecb
Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected)

Short description of error
When "orbit around selection" is enabled, the camera will orbit around world origin instead of selected object's origin in edit mode while no verts, edges, or faces are selected.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Step 1: Go to Edit>Preferences>Navigation> and then enable "Orbit Around Selection"
Step 2: Add a cube to the scene and move it in "Object Mode" away from the world center
Step 3: Enter "Edit Mode" and deselect everything, then try moving the viewport camera.

Intuitively what you'd think would happen in this situation is the camera should orbit around the origin point of the selected object you're currently editing, but instead what happens is the camera orbits around the 0,0,0 point of the scene. Which feels really odd, like blender is just switching to a default behavior or something?

Hi, thanks for the report. Unable to confirm this.
Could you try factory reset?: File > Defaults > Load Factory Settings

Just did what you suggested and loaded factory settings, and the same odd behavior still happens as i described

Can confirm actually.
Will check if this is intentional or not.

Thanks for confirming it,
Yeah, I can't imagine this is intentional? like I can't think of a single situation I'd ever want the camera to rotate around an invisible world origin while I'm in edit mode lol

AFAICS, pivot is (0, 0, 0) when there is no selection of mesh elements. So it rotates around the world origin

In newer version (4.0), if mesh-element is selected and then you perform the view-orbit, new pivot offset will be remembered. Now if you deselect previous selection, view will rotate around the last pivot point.

(in edit mode) Behavior seems expected as view rotation is not expected to happen around object pivot, rather median point of selected element is calculated and then used for rotation: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/src/branch/main/source/blender/editors/space_view3d/view3d_navigate.cc#L816
