It is good to have this elasticity configurable, but I agree with dr Roberts, that preferable default value should be to give usage as previous. Draging a single atom is always possible with pressing Ctrl. However, what would be sometimes useful, is possibility to drag several atom - not one, but not whole residue. Good for fitting long sidechains like Arg or Lys. Maybe possible with temporarily changed this new value...

I'm wondering why this was changed. Does the optimum elasticity change with 
resolution, map quality, or another experimental limitation? Or does it more of 
a user preference?

Over the years, I've gotten used to being able to drag a loop that is out of 
density into density and watch as it magically sorts itself into the (often) 
proper conformation in less time that I could build it myself. I miss this 
behavior and would like COOT to, again, do such things for me. (OK, that's a 
lazy approach, but there's always undo, so it's often worth a try).

I've tried various settings of refinement_drag_elasticity and I need to lower 
it to 0.5 or so before any semblance of earlier behavior appears.

We've noticed a new behavior in real space refinement in coot 0.8.1 whereby 
dragged atoms are more tightly restrained to their initial positions than in 
earlier versions. This seems to be described in the release notes by:

    o BUG-FIX: The amount that the other atoms ove with moving the
      picked atom has been reduced (but is configurable)

The old behavior was often useful for moving out of a local minimum.  How can I 
configure this?
