Hello Bernhard - I don't think it's a bug: your second dataset has a 
huge z-coordinate range (approx [-1e5,1e6]) whereas the first one is in 
[-50,50].

When you merge both datasets, Gmsh automatically sets the center of 
rotation at the center of the overall bounding box, i.e., around (0,0, 
(-1e5+1e6)/2), which is pretty far from the center of the bbox for the 
first dataset. Hence the weird behaviour.

Set the rotation center to (0,0,0) by hand in Tools->Options->General to 
see what I'm talking about.

Cheers,

Ruth & Dave & Christophe
