Last week I was editing a street centerline feature class in my Enterprise Geodatabase, version 10.3.1, with a Sql Server back end. After the edit session the spatial extent changed automagically. It changed so much I couldn't see the features on my screen. Okay, sh... er I mean stuff happens, so I re-calced the extent and I'm back in business. Fast forward to today; same m.o. : Editing the same feature class and the extent changes to something like the Milky Way all on its own.
Is this something others have had happen? Is there a way to avoid this? I've been using SDE/Enterprise geodatabses since version 8.3, and have now re-calculated the extent of a feature class twice. Both times within the past 7 days....
That should just about do it....
