I've seen this bug a number of times and have filed a bug report. It is hard to reproduce, but if you reboot it works. There is a real cockroach of a bug that is harder to fix, however -- it messes up the phosphate linkages between G and U I think. I haven't however touched that program since Paul put an RNA builder in Coot. If you have coot, go to Calculate > Other Modelling Tools > Ideal DNA/RNA and you can generate an A-form helix or a single strand of RNA, and then manipulate it to your heart's content. I hope that helps. Bill
