[Chimera-users] about "adjust angle" command

Hi,
I'm trying to use chimera to adjust angles in my polymer.
First: Probably I found a bug: when I typed "adjust angle 90 #0:4 at C #0:5 at C
#0:6 at C" in the command line, it reported that "the degree should be a
number". After I changed line 488 in /Chimera/share/Midas/midas_text.py to
"degrees, spec = args.split(None,1)", the command works.

Second: still about "adjust angle", if the polymer is a straight line, the
command doesn't work, while it works for a random distributed polymer. For
the line polymer, type "adjust angle 90 #0:4 at C #0:5 at C #0:6 at C"  and then
"angle #0:4 at C #0:5 at C #0:6 at C", it returns 180 degree.

Below is the pdb example:
