[Chimera-users] 3D labels

[Elaine Meng]

At least on my system, pressing Return or Enter after changing the fontsize value using the drop-down menu doesn't do anything.  What does change the size of the labels in the main window, however, is clicking into that number field.  I guess Greg was referring to the case where you had entered a new value directly into the field rather than choosing it from the menu.
