Hi Mark,

Yes! I do not have the same problem as you, but on the other hand I  
experience a different (and just as annoying) behaviour: after I  
switch back to mono, the molecule appears to "split into two copies",  
one of which remains fixed in the position where the molecule last  
was before I deactivated stereo. The second one can in principle be  
manipulated, but, as you can imagine, this is not very useful since  
the first remains in the background!

As far as I remember, this bug was not present in 10.0.1. Alwyn?

Luca
