Description Sebastian Keller 2018-01-27 00:24:07 UTC
Pymol in rawhide uses wrong coordinates for atoms when loading a PDB file with LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.utf8. It works as expected when using LC_NUMERIC=C.

It seems like pymol attempts to parse floating point coordinates in the PDB file using the LC_NUMERIC specified formatting rather than always using decimal points. This leads to the fractional part of the coordinates being ignored in languages such as German which use commas as decimal separators.

This bug probably is probably triggered by some changes to a different package modifying some default behavior. So far I've not been able to find the responsible package. There were some LC_NUMERIC related changes to the python3 package recently, but downgrading to a previous version does not seem to fix the issue.

Pymol upstream apparently already has a patch to always use "C" which should fix this issue:
