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

* Chimera macOS 26
 - Failure to import pyopengl fixed.
 - Graphics is positioned covering command-line and status line.
 - Eric found hovering mouse over window frame maximize button fixes graphics positioning.
 - Still working on discovering how that fixes the position in order to put a work-around in the code.

* Chimera Windows build machine James
 - Build machine was running so slowly that nightly build did not complete in days.
 - Login is also extremely slow.
 - Suspected disk partial failure.
 - Next step is to test my moving disk to another Windows machine (Boxx machine in test lab) and seeing if reads are extremely slow.
 - If disk is ok but James hardware is failing the switch build to Boxx machine with working disk.
 - If disk is failing, may have no way to restore Chimera Windows build since we don't have a backup of the ancient Windows development environment.

* ChimeraX Trac corrupted
 - Greg rebuilt the ChimeraX Trac MySQL database.
 - Was giving "Unknown error" stack trace when trying to view active tickets.

* !PySide bugs
 - Zach will try Qt 6.9.3 when it is released to see if it fixes any of our !PySide 6 bugs.
 - Tom thinks the crash closing tools with status lines may be worked around by delaying deletion of status line QWindow.
 - Zach will transfer ticket to Tom to work on it.
