#783 Molecules disappearing in Ubuntu 16.10

[Anonymous]

I have installed Avogadro 1.1.1 using

sudo aptitude install avogadro libavogadro-dev

on Ubuntu 16.10. It seems to be failing to display anything. Opening an .xyz file using Avogadro, I can see only a blank background. When I use the molecule builder it initially seems to work, but the molecules disappear into the white space. For example, I can draw ethane but a second stroke (to make propane) causes the carbons to disappear. A third stroke causes everything to disappear. Even this is unpredictable -- sometimes I can't draw anything at all.

Running

avogadro --version

gives this:

"Avogadro version:  1.1.1   Git:    
LibAvogadro version:    1.1.1   Git:    "

The command line output while I'm trying to use Avogadro is as follows:

Qt has caught an exception thrown from an event handler. Throwing
exceptions from an event handler is not supported in Qt. You must
reimplement QApplication::notify() and catch all exceptions there.
