Known Bugs:
- Mac OS 10.5 / X11 problems:
- sometimes display does not update (can be forced by slightly moving the view contents with the mouse)
- sometimes saved images have a corrupt or "mis-tiled" appearance. Workarounds to try include:
- showing the Command Line if it is not shown (or if it is shown, hiding it) and then re-saving the image
- saving the position with command savepos, jiggling the view with the mouse, restoring the position with reset, and then re-saving the image
- saving a session, restoring the session in the Mac Aqua version of Chimera, and then re-saving the image
- surfaces fail for some structures
- POV-Ray incorrectly renders some of the characters in the fonts Chimera uses, especially the zero
