Thanks Marcin,
I thought I'd patched this already some time ago (shortly after you
mentioned it to me), but now that I try to find it in the logs, it seems
to have been missed/lost.

That problem has been discussed several times on the coot mailing list.
Currently a workaround is to type:
(set-use-stroke-characters 1)
in scheme console (Calculate > Scripting > Scheme).
(You can also add it to coot settings).
As a side effect fonts will look worse.
I've just tested a better fix (patch attached) and it seems to work,
It requires compilation from source, so for now use the workaround
above.

Thanks Carlos Contreras-Martel and Lu Zuokun for pointing me to check
graphic driver problems (or update them from the vendor, by the way,
controller model Intel HD 4000). Taking some time with this today, I still
feel I will have to study further before making changes.
This poses me yet other question, though maybe it escapes the discussion
list scope, that I must search further: how (and where) different are the
resources used by the virtual machine compared to the host machine, such
that this graphical behavior is different.
Yours,
Jorge

Dear all,
My machine has openSuSE 12.3, a lenovo ideadpad with 8 cores (4 are
virutal) and 8 GB memory.
For a number of coot versions in it (including the newest one), coot
answers slowly to rotating, but specially the space bar translate is even
more slow (from residue x to x+1 etc.).
Curiously, in either CentOS or even openSuSE in oracle virtualboxes
(under this openSuSE host), to which I liberate only 1 cpu and only 1 GB
memory, it goes much faster, at a very reasonable speed. How could be
that? In principle I thought that the multicore configuration of the host
machine might be the culprit.
So, for coot tasks, I have been using the virtual machine, but that is
impractical.
The closest to this problem I found was
https://www.mail-archive.com/coot@jiscmail.ac.uk/msg03787.html , but I
could not devise any trial to solve the problem. Even trying the
http://www2.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/personal/pemsley/coot/web/docs/coot.html#Slow-Computer-Configuration
<http://www2.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/personal/pemsley/coot/web/docs/coot.html#Slow-Computer-Configuration>
configuration did not solve the problem satisfactorily.
I tried to search wider, but could not find other suggestions. Should
you have one, I would be glad to try.
Sincerely yours,
Jorge
