Thanks Justin for looking at the files. I am using the gro and top file to

Note that your cutoffs are incorrect for strict adherence to CHARMM settings. See extensive threads from recent days and weeks on this topic.

Yes, I am dealing with single molecule of ethanol. I can attach the tpr file 
and the resulting trr and gro file but it seems that the file size is big.

The mailing list does not accept attachments, nor are those files particularly informative (maybe the .gro, but that can easily just be pasted in an email for a single-molecule system). Screenshots linked from some publicly accessible image-sharing site work well.

When I visualize the trajectory. in the second step, the molecule is already 
without any bond ... it is separated atoms. I don't think this is visualization 
problem since I already tried all trjconv -pbc option.


Measurements of intramolecular distances are more informative than whether or not visualization software thinks there's actually a bond there. The topology is definitive, visualization is not. There may certainly be a problem, but be sure you're using quantitative assessments, not qualitative (and error-prone).
