Hi Paul,
I'm using Coot 0.6.2-pre-1 and I've noticed a (minor) bug in the
Pointer Distances feature. Here's the problem: I'm working with two PDB files
and I only want to show pointer distances for atoms of one PDB (for
readability). The manual's description of Pointer Distances indicates that
distances should be displayed between the Rotation Centre Pointer and any
'active' set of atoms. When I display my first, 'active' PDB and display
pointer distances, everything works fine and the distances are updated upon
moving the pointer - all is well. Displaying the second PDB file (and ensuring
that it is not selected as 'active') also works properly in that no distances
are displayed between the Pointer and atoms of the second, 'inactive' PDB.
However, as soon as I move the pointer, distances are also displayed
between the pointer and the second, 'inactive' PDB. Toggling the Pointer
Distances feature does not remove the undesired distances to the 'inactive'
molecules unless I toggle while the 'inactive' molecule is not displayed. Even
then, as soon as I move the pointer, the undesired distances reappear. I've
confirmed this behavior for 3 loaded molecules as well, where one is 'active'
and the other two with the 'active' box unchecked in the Display Manager.
I'm sure you've got bigger fish to fry, but I thought I'd at least log
the bug.
Best Regards,
-Andy
