Description
Currently highlighting in Chimera is performed by showing the current residue's side-chain (and unshowing it on moving to the next residue). Jalview sends a Chimera command like "show #0:0:716.A" on mouseover. This shows the specified atoms and removes all others from the display. This is designed to work for the default 'ribbon' structure display that Jalview initially opens.
This has some annoying limitations:
- it erases the side-chains which are shown in Chimera's default initial representation
- if Chimera display has been changed to atoms, it vanishes completely (except for one side-chain)
- it does nothing if the structure has no side-chains (example 3B5Y)
We should like to find a better way that avoids these problems (2.9.2) or at least make the current behaviour optional (for 2.9.1).
