[chimerax-users] "Distances" Window not updating

[Antón Vila-Sanjurjo]

Hi Elaine,

I have noticed that the "Distances" window does not update new distances 
as I create them, so I have to keep closing and re-opening the window 
from the Tools menu. This wasn't a problem in the old Chimera.

best,

Antón
