Thanks, Tom! I didn't get a chance to test it, but I guess that should be the reason because I do use the "multisampling". :) Best, Leon On Fri, Sep 2, 2016 at 3:24 PM, Tom Goddard <goddard@sonic.net> wrote:

Hi Leon,

We’ve seen this before where enabling the “multisampling” graphics quality option (Chimera menu Tools / Viewing Controls / Effects) causes typed text in the command-line to not appear. Graphics drivers, especially on Mac, often have bugs in multisampling. So try turning that off if it is enable (the default is off), save that preference (Save button on Effects dialog), and restart Chimera. If that doesn’t work try renaming your Chimera preferences file ~/.chimera/preferences so Chimera uses a new one, because possibly some other preference setting is causing this bug.

Hello All,

The command line in Chimera seems not working properly on my Mac. Any input in the command line will not show unless you select them. Does anybody experience this problem? Or any idea about this?

Both versions of 1.11 and 1.11.1 have been tried. My mac is iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch) OS X EI Capitan.

Thanks, Leon
