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.
