I would argue that for many structures drawing the backbone and adding hydrogens at the end is the quickest way, but we obviously want to be as flexible as we can here and many people like the addition of hydrogens as they go.<br /><br />It looks to me like the center is just pushed to where the center of the sphere is, with a smaller radius, due to the perspective projection. I once changed the code a little to look at rendered versus picking spheres, it wouldn't be hard to render that to show more clearly what is happening and perhaps at least tweak if not remove this. It probably wouldn't take much to add an option to turn this on and off, as we did for the navigation rendering you didn't like.Marcus D.

For me, the intuitive place to click is in the centre.Noel O'Boylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03288289351940689018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844526396210378482.post-29139839087998337972013-03-04T15:40:04.963+00:002013-03-04T15:40:04.963+00:00I'm open to suggestions.

(Try, for example, to ring-close cyclohexane.)<br /><br />So that's where the feature comes. If you have elegant suggestions, I'm all ears. I obviously want it to be as intuitive as possible and would be happy to remove this.Geoff Hutchisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12183565052523203480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844526396210378482.post-52349885367766467252013-03-04T09:40:50.726+00:002013-03-04T09:40:50.726+00:00Nice find, but dude, with features like this who n...Nice find, but dude, with features like this who needs bugs? :-)Noel O'Boylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03288289351940689018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844526396210378482.post-3998500933482992622013-03-03T22:40:32.880+00:002013-03-03T22:40:32.880+00:00Apparently, "that's not a bug, it's a...Apparently, "that's not a bug, it's a feature" ;-)<br /><br />https://github.com/cryos/avogadro/commit/f95f23fcea<br /><br />Post this on the avogadro-devel mailing list.
