[chimerax-users] bug report: hide with silhouettes

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Alexis,

  This bug in ChimeraX 0.8 was fixed a month ago.

  We advise people to use the ChimeraX daily build because the release versions (0.7, 0.8, ...) are not significantly more stable than the daily build. This is why we put the daily builds at the top of the download page. I suggest using a daily build and sticking with it until a bug gets in your way or you a new feature in a newer ChimeraX daily build is needed.

	Tom

I am running this on MacOS 10.13.6 on a MBP with graphics "Intel Iris Plus Graphics 650 1536MB" (sorry not sure what might be relevant here), and the Chimera version is:
