--------------------------
= Discussion =

* ChimeraX 1.5 release
  - Decided to branch today
  - Release candidates made on Thursday if no big bugs seen in daily build.

* Floating tool panels
  - Discussed whether there should be an option for floating tool panels to always stay in front.
  - Eric changed behavior on Mac only so they do not stay in front.
  - Tristan said this change caused panels to be completely hidden behind the main window when he uses ISOLDE with ChimeraX full-screened.
  - Eric will work with Tristan to see how best to solve this.
  - Behavior of floating panels differs on Mac, Windows and Linux.  Should investigate all 3.

* DICOM mispositioned model
  - Elaine reported one image being very far from others in opening some DICOM data.
  - Zach wonders if can be related to rearranging the model hierarchy as models opened.  Tom says probably not.
  - Eric suggests looking at model.position.matrix for the offending model and its parent and higher ancestors to see which one is mispositioning it.
  - Can compare to the ChimeraX 1.4 positioning to see where the difference lies.
