It's no bug - that's the programmed behavior. You'll have to press the
big button at the top of the form to turn it off, or else program another
hot key.

The double-increment effect when you change bond radius can happen when
the molecular scene is very complicated, so that it takes a long time to
redraw. We're aware of the bug but we haven't found a perfect fix for it
yet. In the mean time, what you can do is turn the
"Apply Changes Automatically" light on the Graphics menu off. Adjust the
graphics settings as you like, then press the Apply button at the bottom
of the menu.
