Seems now angle must go after look_at.  And I have a feeling you already
said so too.  Yes, checking original post you did say that.  I have a couple
scenes using orthographic opened into the editor and I put angle after
look_at and got a strange render, a isosurface that appparently is cut off
about midway down the render window.  So I agree somethings very different
now.
As I said before, I never use angle in orthographic.  Weird thing is,
yesterday I couldn't get angle to go anywhere but after look_at in a default
camera.  Today I checked and can.  But I never trust these things until I
experience again and again and again.
