Orthogonal planes reformat widget

Objective
Following the last Summer Project Week, a new functionality was added to 3D Slicer which keeps the slice planes orthogonal to each other when they are linked. This is particularly useful when for example dealing with cardiac images because the reformat widget can now be used to align the slice views with the true axes of the heart, which are generally not the same as the axes of the image.
However, some issues have been discovered where the orthogonal planes reformat widget doesn't function like it is expected to. Specifically, sometimes a plane falls into a "translate mode" where it cannot be rotated as usual with the reformat widget, but can only be translated instead.
Approach, Plan
We will look into this problem and try to fix it. If we have enough time left, we might work on modifying the widget itself to make it better suited for the reformat operation.
