Why is everything grey until I zoom in in the scene editor?

Hello All,

Could somebody please explain to me why everything is grey in the scene editor until I zoom in real close? I NEED to turn this off.

This is a strange setting that is on by default even when starting a brand new project.

I am having to use wireframe view just to work at a reasonable distance.

It is annoying as hell.

I am using a Nvidia GTX 1080 and windows 10 if that makes any difference.

somebody help please.

Its just the FOG setting in the scene dropdown menu - i dunno how I missed it
