[ And I hate that Thunderbird changed its plugin API so that the plugin
that kept my e-mail addresses straight doesn't work any more. ]

Along the same theme, right-click Tab could have Move-to-New-Window, which
performs equivalent to File/New-Window.
More conventional is to let you drag the tab off the tab bar, either to
another window or to free space to create a new window.
(But I still hate tabs and want Ctrl+N to give me a new window like it
used to...)

This may be part of this elusive middle-click menu, but I can't access it
using the trackpad on my
MacBook...
What is this myth you speak of??
Middle click does nothing# with OpenSCAD on Windows (2013.06 - 2020.11.30),
on Debian it only does paste in the Editor (I presume that is a Linux thing
- I'm transitioning slowly...).
Correction, on Snapshot, middle-click on a Tab closes it, on empty space
on the Tab-bar it opens a new tab. I found that on a GitHub search of
'middle'.
Wiki* only says Shift-middle-drag -> zooms (it does), and middle-drag ->
zooms (it doesn't),
code says (issue #1438) 'Middle button pans in the xy plane' (it doesn't).

Middle drag zoom works for me (2019.01, 2019.12). Appears to zoom
around the center of the window, vs wheel zoom which zooms around the
cursor.
Not that I use middle drag zoom. I always use wheel zoom.
Note that it only zooms when you middle-drag up and down, not left and
right.
Middle drag does nothing for me under Windows with the latest snapshot.
Puzzling

Dragging with the left mouse (orbit) works MUCH worse with the snapshot
than with the latest (2019) release. With 2019, I can orbit easily, and
the object is always visible; with the snapshot, the object is rarely
visible at all. This behavior is close to intolerable.

No idea what you're talking about to be honest. As far as I know there
has not been any significant change to orbit since 2019.05.
- If you pan before orbiting then the orbit will be around the new camera
center. That's been the case for a long time. - If you have mouse-centric zoom enabled, then zooming with mousewheel
will also introduce some amount of pan in order to keep the cursor pointing
down the same ray in space (unless your mouse happens to be perfectly
centered in the view). If that's your problem then you can disable it in
options. But again that feature should have already existed in 2019.05. - View -> Show Crosshairs (Ctrl-3) depicts this center of rotation with
some diagonal axes, which might help visualize what's going on.
If your problem is something unrelated to those, then you're going to have
to explain "the object is rarely visible" a bit better.
You are correct. If I carefully use both releases in exactly the same
way, they behave the same.
I have no idea what I did to get the new release to behave as it did.
But there is no bug here
