Category: Applet Group: v11 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Dean Johnston (deanjohnston) Assigned to: Bob Hanson (hansonr) Summary: Slow graphics updates with Jmol applet on OS X / Firefox Initial Comment: The most recent versions of the Jmol applet (confirmed in 11.0.RC4) are slow to update the molecular display when you click and drag to rotate or zoom a molecule. This results in a "jerky" display even with very small molecules. This is only observed when the mouse pointer is within the applet. If the mouse pointer moves out of the applet while still holding down the mouse button, the molecule will rotate or zoom without any jerkiness. This behavior is ONLY observed with browsers that use the Java embedding plugin, specifically Firefox (and other Mozilla browsers) on OS X (tested on 10.4.8). It has been confirmed by other users (Frieda Reichsman). This behavior is NOT observed with older versions of the applet (10.9.66). It is not known at which point this behavior first appeared. A demo page comparing 10.9.66 to 11.0.RC3 is available at: http://www.otterbein.edu/home/fac/dnhjhns/jmoltest/jmol_test.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Dean Johnston (deanjohnston) Date: 2007-02-05 10:19 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1145454 Originator: YES 10.9.100 is (still) OK. 10.9.103 is jerky. (Note: what you put up as 10.9.103 appears to be 10.9.102) The demo page has been updated again.

So it looks like we're down to somewhere between 10.9.100 and 10.9.106.

I haven't tested anything newer. The demo page now compares 10.9.100 and 11.0.RC3 if anyone else can confirm this.

Then I will give you more to try. Sorry for not spotting this earlier. If there's an easier way, let me know.
