Yes, sorry about that. This version of VMD is on our supercomputer which uses Linux, RHEL7. I used Tachyon, GSL rendering, background white, file type BMP.

I re-installed VMD 1.9.4 a27 on the supercomputer, however, and it works fine now. I can't duplicate the bug. If it starts doing that again, I'll report it.

Hi Kelly,
  Can you be a bit more specific and tell exactly how you
proceeded with rendering? Did you use Tachyon, TachyonInternal, or
one of the other hardware-accelerated variants? What operating
system are you using?

Best,
  John Stone
