I am using a KDE desktop with Avogadro master, but what you described works fine here. I will see if I can get on an Ubuntu machine next week, what terminal/window manager (Unity perhaps?)

I have a Macbook Pro I do some testing on too, and use a little (although my main desktop is Linux). We will look into better diagnostics we could add to binaries as I have never observed this very crashy issue on Mac and it would be great to see a backtrace to understand what might be causing it. Thanks for the feedback, I will see if I can spot the issue on Ubuntu. We are committed to producing a more stable application, I think there are some exciting developments on the horizon. In the meantime, I will see if there are any crasher bugs in 1.1 that we can track down and remedy.
