When you have multiple layers of translucent objects, it is possible to get some odd effects.

I am not surprised by that, but by the fact that they are different in the three Jmol versions.

PS. Congrats on your crystallography paper. I have to try some Jmol displays in that category (too many toys, not enough time :-))

     A case of odd outcome.

    I have run the following in 12.0.11 and 12.1.9 (and compared to 12.0,8
    which I happen to have on my website)::

                      isosurface cutoff 0.09 resolution 5 phase color
    translucent 7 atomicOrbital 2 0 0 1.0

    One would expect three concentric isosurface spheres, the big
    "outside"
    one (red) and two small "inner" ones with the bigger of the two
    also red
    and the smallest blue; with all partially translucent.

    That is indeed what is observed for 12.0.8, 12.011 and 12.1.9.

    However rotation of the object leads to partial (12.0.11) or almost
    complete (12.1.9) "occlusion" of the most inner sphere as if the
    middle
    sphere had lost transparency of one of its halves.

    It is difficult to describe, but clearly visible if the above
    script is
    executed in all three Jmol versions, side by side.

    Not a big issue, but....
