I've had a look at both 11.4.2 and 11.5.33 and I don't think the default setup of the application is appropriate for new/casual users of chemical crystallography information.
When fed a CIF the application puts up a unit cell box with one molecule with the center of rotation not coincident with the center of mass of the displayed molecule. This is unexpected. Looking through the menu items doesn't show any way of setting this to a more conventional view. A lot of the choices for control of the display don't appear until the right-button pop-up menu is discovered. >From a usability perspective most of what is in the right-button menu should be in the application menus (and sub menus). The pop-up menu should be limited to those things that are relevant to being affected for the item under the pointer at the time the right-button is clicked.
