Re: Jmol black screen in Notebook SEMI-RESOLVED

[walter neumann]

Semi-resolved:  I was browsing the Sage reference manual, which I get in a new window when I click "Help" and experimenting in there. That is where I get the black jmol screens, although everything else works fine there.

I just discovered that If I work instead in my own notebook in the original Firefox window it works fine.

It looks as if when I'm in the reference manual Jmol thinks it is rendering the graphics, but the graphics are not being put in the Jmol window. So it seems to be a bug, but it is not clear to me whose bug this is -- sage, Jmol, java, or Firefox.

Someone else posted about this but there didn't seem to be a
resolution. Sorry to start a new discussion on the same topic -- I
didn's see how to add to that one.

Using Firefox 2.0.0.14 any 3d plot in the notebook interface just
gives a black square with jmol in the bottom right corner.

Plots work fine from the terminal interface to sage.

Samples on the jmol web site work fine in firefox.
