Dear Jibiao,

It’s an issue of credibility - if your input points to an inability of doing a 
correct calculation noone is going to bother checking further.

I think everyone was already supernice at looking at your input.

Dear Pascal Boulet,

Thank you very much for your reply. I think that's not the key of the problem. 
The question is why QE 6.1 produced acceptable pdos for the CO molecule, but QE 
5.1 not. Obviously QE 5.1 has a bug in pdos calculations with kpoints. Davide 
Ceresoli got similar observation. Does that mean intermolecular interactions in 
QE 5.1 are problematic?

Hello,

I may be wrong but your input file looks strange: you have an isolated molecule 
(CO) but you specify 6 as a Bravais lattice and a mesh of k-points.

I would choose ibrav=0, kpoint=gamma, assume_isolated=… , and a big box to be 
sure the molecule is isolated. Perhaps you will get better results with these 
options…(?)

HTH,
Pascal

Dear QE developers,

Here I am reporting a big bug in Quantum Espresso. QE 6.1 and 5.1 yield 
completely different pdos for a simple CO molecule. The results from QE 5.1 are 
completely wrong, because 2px and 2py associated with 1pi orbitals should not 
be splitted into three levels. These outcomes are impossible for DFT 
calculations. The results from QE 6.1 is also unsatisfying;the 2pz states 
should not be populated at a deep level below -28 eV?

Best
