Onspace workspaces / documents look corrupted / unusable (only some element remain)- setting or bug?

Hi! With several projects now I have the issue that at a seemingly random moment while editing, the whole workspace becomes blank only showing the main axes several curves (correction: in this case these are not the main axes but rather several curves I have added to the sketch to make a axis system centered on my object u a useful way).
There is no surefire way to reproduce; some triggers I noticed were orienting the view using a double click on the cube in the upper right corner, but closing and re-opening a document has done this, too. I'm not sure whether this is a corrupt document, a render bug, or simply a setting / filter that gets applied. I have seen it in several newly made documents, across browsers. The only thing that sometimes helps is open an older version from the timeline - but sometimes it 'spreads' there, too.
What I see:
What it should be (more or less, this is several steps back in history just to show. In some cases even the history will get gradually unusable in this way!)
Did something simply get toggled and an I too n00b to know, or is this a known (or even new) issue? I haven't been able to find out using search. Thanks!

No-one ever seen their document reduced to a few lines in empty space? This has happened a few times now to me. THanks!
Likely a browser cache issue - Shift+F5 should fix it.
Haha, OK I feel stupid.
No, it wasn't a browser cache issue nor document corruption - it was user error.
I like to have old school XYZ axes so first thing I usually do is make intersect curves for the three default planes. Which are nominally infinite lines (rounded to 1.000.000 mm = 1 km in OnShape). Which will be zoomed into the viewport on some (but not all) operations. Resulting in my work being several milipixels high and wide on screen since the viewport is now 1 square kilometer :D
