View Helper when clicking on Z axies never exit animating mode and just glitch out in place.  
I suspect it might something to do with my scene being default Z axis up.

I am initializing using regular orbit controls and regular perspective camera.  
I am on version 160.0 and I only initialize center = orbitControls.target, since controls property is gone it seems.

In the render loop I update the gizmo like this. I added a timer to remedy the animation glitching out and stop it manually.

Is it a bug or am I missing something?  
Thank you!
