3D Mouse (3D Connexion) doesn't work in FP-editor's 3D view

Description

A 3D mouse (in my case, a 3DConnexion SpaceMouse Pro) can't control the orientation of the 3D view in the FootPrint Editors' "Footprint Properties" window, in the "3D models" tabs' "Preview". The normal mouse can control it, by clicking and dragging as in the other windows' 3D views.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Attach a 3DConnexion control device, with the proper drivers installed
  2. Go to the window and tab mentioned above and try to manipulate a 3D object in the Preview pane using the 3D Mouse.
  3. What you will probably notice is that the 3D mouse movements affect the underlying FootPrint editor windows' content instead, primarily it's zoom feature.
