Hi Paul,
I'm using Coot 0.6.2-pre-1 and I've noticed a (minor) bug in the Pointer Distances feature. Here's the problem: I'm working with two PDB files and I only want to show pointer distances for atoms of one PDB (for readability). The manual's description of Pointer Distances indicates that distances should be displayed between the Rotation Centre Pointer and any 'active' set of atoms. When I display my first, 'active' PDB and display pointer distances, everything works fine and the distances are updated upon moving the pointer - all is well. Displaying the second PDB file (and ensuring that it is not selected as 'active') also works properly in that no distances are displayed between the Pointer and atoms of the second, 'inactive' PDB.
However, as soon as I move the pointer, distances are also displayed between the pointer and the second, 'inactive' PDB. Toggling the Pointer Distances feature does not remove the undesired distances to the 'inactive' molecules unless I toggle while the 'inactive' molecule is not displayed. Even then, as soon as I move the pointer, the undesired distances reappear. I've confirmed this behavior for 3 loaded molecules as well, where one is 'active' and the other two with the 'active' box unchecked in the Display Manager.
I'm sure you've got bigger fish to fry, but I thought I'd at least log the bug.
Best Regards,
-Andy
