18115	Surface color vs. resolution	bcook@…	Tom Goddard	"{{{
The following bug report has been submitted:
Platform:        macOS-15.4.1-arm64-arm-64bit
ChimeraX Version: 1.10 (2025-06-26 08:57:52 UTC)
Description
The Surface color tool does not fuction correctly with local resolution maps. It seems to assign the wrong color values. Regions that should have high resolution are colored as if they had low resolution. This error is not seen in the 1.8 version of ChimeraX
