[chimerax-users] Tiling images are stepped

[Elaine Meng]

As I understood it, if you wanted to change the orientations, the way to do it is to undo a previous tile so that everything is superimposed again, then change orientation, then use tile again.

I don't think repeatedly using "tile" from a previously tiled state was intended.
