The whole cartoon rendering is broken. When the molecule is rotated the
filled areas of helices and sheets disappear and reappear, depending on
the angle. Sometimes they disappear completely even if the molecule
isn't rotating (with 'set ribbonborder off' you only see the thin trace
Angel reported).
Even writing an 'echo' text sometimes changes the visibility.
Besides the traces of the turns show huge conformational changes during
rotations. And if you look at the border beetween a turn and a beta
sheet while rotating you can observe that the trace switches from one
side to the middle and then to the other side. In the middle position
the filled area disappears.
