MarvinBeans: MViewPane setRendering

I've been trying to programtically change how a molecule is displayed in MViewPane.  For example, "ballstick".  I've tried setting it the following way:
    mViewPane.setRendering(DispOptConsts.BALLSTICK_RENDERING_S);

This correctly displays the structure as "Ball & Stick".  The problem is if I I click on the mViewPane it reverts to "wireframe" display.

Is there a different method I should be using to modify the display?

We will check it.

Indeed, it is a bug.

Until it is fixed, I can recommend the following workaround:

 

viewPane.setRendering(BALLSTICK_RENDERING_S);
viewPane.getUserSettings().setViewRendering2d(BALLSTICK_RENDERING_S);

The bugfix is available in upcomming 5.6 release.
