Agreed ... it is a bug.

In investigating this I see that my code is explicitly checking to see
that the atoms involved are *visible* ... where visible means that either
the atoms themselves have some screen representation OR there are bonds
that clearly indicate where the atom would be.

I am doing the testing for distances, angles, and torsion angles.

I do not remember why this test was put there. And my current thinking is
that it should be removed.

However, the code was clearly it was put there for a particular reason. So
that makes me wonder why.

Q: Can anyone think of any reason why I would have written code to turn
off measurements if all of the atoms involved in the measurement are not
visible?
I don't know.
I think that a restrict command should turn off monitor lines as it is the case with bonds (wireframe) and it shouldn't be possible to generate monitor lines between atoms that are not visible by *mouse* picking, using a script command to turn on monitor lines may be possible.
