Sorry, I should have explained this.
I added an option to have the outline color be a darker version of the
atom color. So, if the atom color is red the outline is dark red.
However, I haven't added the option to the user preferences dialog yet. So
it is currently hard-wired to be "darker".

The units are milliseconds to paint. Yes, I will add the units and add the
command-line switch.

This is a very good clue!
It seems to me that almost all of the state is reset when you hit the Home
button. The fact that it is *immediately* corrupted is important.

Hmmm ... you are probably correct.

Since I am now quite familiar with the code I think I can come up with a
mechanism to allow you to dump the relevant data to a log file.

Are you only doing rotations? Or are you doing Zooms and Translations also?
To see if it is only related to rotations please try the following:
 - rotate until it gets messed up
 - hit home
 - click translation move the molecule. Does it mess up?
 - click zoom and shrink/enlarge the molecule. Does it mess up?

Question: Who knows about the javax.vecmath package which we are using? I
find it hard to believe that there are any bugs in it, but I suppose it is
possible.

javax.vecmath is now included with the Java3D API, but we should be able
to run it separately. Should we try a newer version?

Fabian, please let me know if you see any problems.
