Hello, I reported a similar problem on Aug 25 in the thread "Mouse zooms, should rotate, SAFARI ONLY". The test URL I gave then is no longer up, but the same behavior is seen in the latest public release with Jmol 12.0.12 at
http://www.bioinformatics.org/jmol-tutorials/jtat/jtatdemo/ch_view1/chapter.htm I am not using X11. I am using Mac OS 10.5.8 with apple java 1.5.0_24. I still do NOT see this problem in Firefox 3.6.9 on Mac OS X. So for me it occurs only in Safari 5.0.1. I do NOT see this problem in Firefox 3.6.9 on Windows XP, nor in Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP. Here is my original message, updated: ------------------------------------------ I have been seeing this (annoying) bug for many months, but have never found a reproducible demonstration. Now I think I have one, albeit a complicated one. My testing indicates that this anomaly occurs in Safari (Mac OS X) but not Firefox (Mac OS X, Windows). Therefore presumably it is NOT A BUG IN JMOL. Go to http://www.bioinformatics.org/jmol-tutorials/jtat/jtatdemo/ch_view1/chapter.htm (Jmol 12.0.12) Toggle spinning off by clicking the "Toggle Spinning" button below Jmol. Notice that dragging in Jmol rotates the molecule, as it should. Now click on any View button. The next time you drag near the middle of Jmol, you get zoom, not rotation. You can let up the button of your mouse, depress it again WITHOUT MOVING IT, and it still zooms, ad infinitum. As soon as you let up the button, move the mouse with the button up, and then drag again, you get rotation. This is reproducible. Perhaps there is some particular command that leaves Jmol in this state, but if so, I have not identified which command. If, after clicking the view button, and before dragging in Jmol, you change the focus from the browser window to Jmol's console, then back again (by clicking OUTSIDE of Jmol), the inappropriate zoom does not occur. On the other hand, if you click-drag in Jmol first, it zooms. ----------------------------------------- -Eric At 9/9/10, [email protected] wrote: >Jmol Application 12.1.10 on MacOSX 10.5.8 with FF 3.6.7 or X11 > >If I'm rotating a molecule in Jmol and switch over to FF or X11 and type >text or scroll the page and then click back into Jmol the leftmouse button >no longer rotates the molecule but either translates it or zooms it.
