See first and third structures in attached picture.  The lone pairs on the O+ atoms are poorly placed.

Hi Bob,

Thank you for reporting, this is indeed bad lone-pair placement. We will notify you as soon as the correction is ready.

Hi,


I think there is a workaround, see attached image.

Yes, if I am drawing the structures, I can arrange them so that the lone pairs are visible.


But if a student is drawing them, she may not see the lone pairs that are partially hidden, so she may become confused.  


Better just to fix the problem.


BTW, I like the way the electron-flow arrows now start at the lone pair.

Hi,


It is fixed, or let's say a much better version is going to be available in the next patch release.

When can I expect this next patch release?  It was supposed to be released mid-March, and now it's late April.

Hi Bob,


The 5.3.2 version you are talking about was released last Friday (https://www.chemaxon.com/marvin/release-notes.html). Eva is talking about the next patch, wich is planned to be released on May 7.


Cheers,
