Show CAs only

[bssfh@…]

The following bug report has been submitted:
Platform:        macOS-10.14.6-x86_64-i386-64bit
ChimeraX Version: 1.3.dev202110261153 (2021-10-26 11:53:52 UTC)
Description
i want to show just the CA atoms of a selection of residues (starting with the rest of the model shown as a cartoon). To do this I am trying to use a command like this:

show #3/A:436,464,465,495,498,500,550,697,755,764,795,798,799@CA target a

But this doesn't do anything. If I take off the @CA bit I can show all the atoms in the residue.

Full .cxc is as follows:

open 5ljo
open 5d0o

hide #1,2 atoms
show #1,2/A cartoons

color #1,2/A rgb(0.252,0.680,1.000)
color #1,2/B rgb(0.000,0.831,0.321)
color #1,2/C rgb(1.000,0.861,0.137)
color #1,2/D rgb(1.000,0.400,0.100)
color #1,2/E rgb(0.780,0.000,0.400)
