Proteins jump about on the screen when working, and eventually disappear from sight.
Reproducible… wiggling and manipulating them particularly using scripts makes the protein "disappear"
Hitting Q to center only works for a while… will recenter but the protein moves farther and farther into the "distance" until you can no longer see it using Q or zooming in.
Entertaining, but not good for the play. :-)
Thats been happening since I started Win foldit. Center protein and use your mouse wheel to ZOOM in heartily I might add.
I think the centering problem is worse for symmetry puzzles.
It would help if the Home and Q buttons would center the main
monomer on the screen. I think right now they center on the
screen some other point that lies between the monomers.

A single band to space should prevent this and will not affect the folding.
If mean, if Q is sending the protein into the distance without wiggle, or you have it pinned in space, then that's a problem. Please check.
With wiggle and a space band it still leaves the screen.
It appears to be moving "the whole space" … the in-space end of the band moves, and the protein is pulling away from it at the same time.
And clarifying… Q is the only way to recenter the protein but that doesn't work consistently. Q won't center it after the protein (and "space") become no longer visible on the screen. A note bubble (which might be a clue) may indicate which direction the protein "went" because I noticed one on screen first try… but not sure, as I could never figure out how to recover the view without reloading the puzzle or reloading a shared protein.
Still bouncing around in the space…. loaded latest update and with a space band here's an example….(if I can load the image).
If there are clashes it seems worse.
Also, it is quite slow and without a filter toggle is annoyingly slow (about 2x slower than the current 32 bit version)
(edit) - definitely better than previous as once protein stabilizes in handholding it doesn't jump around as much.
(still first hand-folding stages are dodgy)
Without the action "clock" and point monitoring in score when you are working, you also can't tell what effect shaking or wiggling is actually having on the structure. Response is too slow. Don't like this at all for handholding particularly early on. With the slowness it's quite frustrating.
