Hi Blaine, I confirm, this is a regression bug in PyMOL 1.6.
This will only happen when using PyMOL commands, not when doing the same thing with a Python script. Here is an equivalent replacement for your alias: python from pymol import cmd, preset @cmd.extend def q1(): cmd.reinitialize() cmd.fetch('3v6d', 'HIVrt', type='pdb') preset.ball_and_stick("c. P and i. 822") cmd.zoom('c. P and i. 822') cmd.rock() python end Cheers, Thomas On 11 Feb 2016, at 09:55, Mooers, Blaine H.M.
