It never felt right to me either, but it was hard to gauge how many people were wanting to click on a hydrogen to do stuff (such as change element type to build up a larger molecule with add hydrogens). I would argue that for many structures drawing the backbone and adding hydrogens at the end is the quickest way, but we obviously want to be as flexible as we can here and many people like the addition of hydrogens as they go.
It looks to me like the center is just pushed to where the center of the sphere is, with a smaller radius, due to the perspective projection. I once changed the code a little to look at rendered versus picking, it wouldn't be hard to render that to show more clearly what is happening and perhaps at least tweak if not remove this. It probably wouldn't take much to add an option to turn this on and off, as we did for the navigation rendering you didn't like.
