Surface values not reported

[2173910144@…]

The following bug report has been submitted:
Platform: Windows-10-10.0.19042
ChimeraX Version: 1.3 (2021-12-08 23:08:33 UTC)
Description
Problem :

I have enable "Report value at mouse position" in the Surface Color panel. When I hover the mouse over for a surface, the exact values were not displayed in the bottom. ChimeraX is version 1.3, and the computer runs Windows. Tom tested in ChimeraX 1.3 with electrostatic potential on a solvent excluded surface on Mac and it all worked for him, showing the values under the mouse in the status line.

warning | Your computer has Intel graphics driver 7584 with a known bug that
causes all Qt user interface panels to be blank. ChimeraX can partially fix
this but may make some panel titlebars and edges black. Hopefully newer Intel
graphics drivers will fix this.

[Tom Goddard]

Your image has the surface color dialog set to color by radius and to color only clipped surfaces -- those settings obviously don't reflect the coloring in the graphics window.

Do some simple tests and report back to me. Open this PDB file

open 1a0m

Then hover the mouse over the ribbon. Does it report "chain A: alpha-conotoxin..." in the status line? If not then your status line does not work at all and that is probably a bug in your graphics driver. If it does show a message in the status line at the bottom of the window do the following test.

Run command

surface

Then use the Surface Color tool to color by radius and turn on the "Report value at mouse position" and hover the mouse over the surface.

If that does not work then I don't have an idea because it works on my Windows and Mac machines.

Report your results.

[Tom Goddard]

Also, note that when ChimeraX starts it warns you

"warning | Your computer has Intel graphics driver 7584 with a known bug that
causes all Qt user interface panels to be blank. ChimeraX can partially fix
this but may make some panel titlebars and edges black. Hopefully newer Intel
graphics drivers will fix this. "

So I would not be surprised if your buggy graphics driver is the problem.

[Tom Goddard]

Reporter replied that status line messages giving chain info do not appear. Appears status line does not work at all. They updated graphics driver and now it works.
