Dear Pymol users
We are trying to generate a number of mutated structures using the 
mutagenesis wizard. However, after mutating a position and saving to a 
new PDB file, the mutated residue ends up being "mixed" into the 
coordinate lines of the first residue. Some two coordinate lines are 
separated by TER statements. At the position, where the residue should 
sit, there is a TER statement, and the residue is skipped (e.g Res ID 
139, TER, Res ID 141).
We also observe this using

set retain_order
set pdb_retain_ids

Is there a fix for this?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Martin
