Hi Patrick, It would be best if you used the Help→Report a Bug menu item and attached a session where this is happening to you. That way, we can look back through the session log commands and try to determine what the cause of the problem is. It seems like it must be something specific to what you are doing since otherwise we would expect more reports of the problem. Our bug-tracking database is public, so do not include any data in the session that you wish to remain private. --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab

Hi,

I was hoping someone could help me with a persistent problem I am having. I am running ChimeraX version 1.8 (2024-06-10) on OSX. This problem has persisted for quite a while through several versions. If I work in ChimeraX and save a group of atoms as a named selection, it generally works as expected for the first group. After that, if I use the command “name XXXX” or define a selection via the GUI, it seems to take the input and reserve the name. However, when I return and select that named selection, the entire protein gets selected. I cannot for the life of me figure out why. I’ve tried low numbers of atoms and high, short names and long, the problem persists. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Patrick _______________________________________________ ChimeraX-users mailing list -- chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu <mailto:chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu> To unsubscribe send an email to chimerax-users-leave@cgl.ucsf.edu <mailto:chimerax-users-leave@cgl.ucsf.edu> Archives: https://mail.cgl.ucsf.edu/mailman/archives/list/chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu/
