[Greg Couch]

My apologies, I was on vacation and am just getting to this. Can you share the session file with me that causes the problem? Please send email to me at gregc@… with how to get it (or, if small enough, as an attachment).

I'd also recommend upgrading ChimeraX to version 1.9 to see if that fixes the problem.
