While checking out the demonstration I noticed a change in mouse behaviour between version 11.9.20_dev and 11.6.8 (which we are currently using within Jena3D (http://jena3d.fli-leibniz.de): If I zoom the example structure '3hyd' after providing a 'reset' command using the Jmol script console with the mouse wheel it takes about 14 full strokes until the atoms in the middle fill out the whole applet. If I do the same with version 11.6.8 only about 3 full strokes are necessary. (http://www.imb-jena.de/cgi-bin/3d_mapping.pl?CODE=3hyd) To exclude any differences in the initial Jmol settings between Eric's site and Jena3D I also tested it with the new version within Jena3D with the same result. (http://www.imb-jena.de/cgi-bin/3d_mapping.pl?CODE=3hyd&APPLET=signed&JMOLJAR=http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/examples-11/JmolAppletSigned0.jar) Was this change in mouse behaviour intentional or accidental? Do others also observe a similar change on other systems? (Test system: openSUSE 11.2 x86_64, Java 1.6.0_17, Firefox 3.5.6) If it was intentional I think it is too fine-grained as a default. You might say that there is additionally the new zoom function at the right edge of the applet and the zoom with Shift-mouse_move, both zooming much less fine-grained. And it might be a good idea to have some differences here to provide different levels of control. But even with this idea I still think it is currently too fine-grained. What do you think about this?
