Also, you should try the same commands on another machine if you can and see what color the title is. The final thing you should do is use Chimera’s bug-reporting mechanism (Help->Report A Bug) to submit a bug report. That will include a lot of information about the system you are using and may help us find the problem.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">—Eric</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">
