Description
Hi,

I really like the "zone around atoms" right mouse mode - it is very useful. However, there is one issue, which is that it is not possible (as far as I can tell) to return to the original state of the model.

Right clicking once shows the zone with labels; right clicking on the background unshows the labels; and right clicking again on the background shows all atoms. This last step is the issue in my opinion. This is fine if the original state of the model was all atoms, but not if it was anything else (e.g. ribbon). 

It would be better I think if the last right click in the cycle returned the model(s) to their pre-zone state (ribbon if ribbon, Ca-trace if Ca-trace, etc).

Cheers
Oli

I agree. This annoys me about it too. I guess it could remember the display styles of all residues and atoms the first time you click on a structure and always revert to that after the second click on the background.

Fixed.

I made the second click on the background show the residues as ribbon and show the atoms that were shown before the residue was clicked with the zone mouse mode. This is much nicer. Thanks for the suggestion.
