Dear Josh: Yes, I confirm that in the above page, as soon as you turn sync on, and rotate one molecule wit the mouse, the left molecule jumps to a new center which pushes it out of view. If you zoom down to about 20%, you can see both molecules, one rotating around an inappropriate center. I see this bug in your page in both Firefox/Windows and Safari/OS 10.5. However, you are using Jmol 11.3.66. It may be worth trying 11.4.RC1. I have also seen this bug with macromolecules, but intermittantly, on this sync'd multi-jmol page I am developing: http://www.bioinformatics.org/jmol-tutorials/jtat/jtatdemo/ch_comp/chapter.htm Most of the time, the centers are correct. Sometimes, in View 5, where two different molecules are compared, the bottom one jumps to a different center. So far, I have not discerned whether the problem is worse with a particular browser, or completely random. If you get the problem 100% of the time on your page, then it is a good page for Bob to use in debugging this problem!
