[Debichem-devel] Bug#1006184: avogadro: atom editing is broken

[Aritz Erkiaga]

Package: avogadro
Version: 1.95.1-2
Severity: important
Tags:|patch, ||||fixed-upstream|

This bug is described in detail at:https://github.com/OpenChemistry/avogadrolibs/issues/820

> Bonding atoms manually creates a corrupted molecule.

> 1. Open Avogadro
> 2. Place two carbon atoms (should create two methane molecules).
> 3. Click on one of the carbons and drag cursor to the other.
> 4. Release cursor to create bond.

> Missing hydrogens around the first atom is not the only issue; trying to
> add another carbon atom instead moves one of the remaining hydrogens to
> the clicked location. Doing so many times crashes Avogadro 2.
