STL Default "Spinning" Viewing Behavior is visually distracting

Body

The stock STL viewer that is utilized for viewing models on github works well for the most part. But it has one crucial annoyance that makes it borderline impossible to use for anyone who has visual impairments; the viewer will automatically spin the model clockwise after the model has been clicked on / moved by the user.

1. Click/drag on model
2. Let go of left click and stop dragging/clicking on the model
3. Model will begin to spin by itself after a few moments.

This is beyond annoying for anyone in the 3D printing community or any other community that needs to look at STLs through Github.

Hi @iitsalex - thank you for providing this feedback! We wanted to follow up on this reported bug. Is this still an issue you can replicate? If it is resolved, could you please close out this issue? If it is not resolved, could you supply more detailed instructions to reproduce your issue and include screenshots and/or URLs, if applicable. Thank you! (cc @queenofcorgis)

Definitely still replicable, thanks for reaching back out!

Here is the STL I have chosen to demonstrate: https://github.com/VoronDesign/Voron-Trident/blob/main/STLs/Z_Assembly/z_bed_rear.stl

And here is a reproduction of the issue with the following steps:

1. Open a preview of an stl file, such as this
2. Click anywhere on the preview and drag to rotate the object
3. Release the drag and do not click on the preview again
4. The preview will become spinning on it's own
5. Click again on the preview and it will stop momentarily, before spinning again.
   

Ideally this feature can be toggled OR just flat out removed. Someone out there may like the spinning "feature" but many of us want the option to remove it.
