Sorry, I thought I saw a message from John Stone that seemed to indicate that it was a known problem. I've tried to find that message again, but haven't so far. I will upgrade to 1.8.7 and see if the problem is remedied. If not I will return with more information. Thanks for your suggestions.
Martin

how should anybody be able to help you with this?
please keep in mind that a) stride is shipped with VMD, but
not really maintained by the VMD developers (it is effectively
unmaintained and if somebody would step up and implement the
stride algorithm or something better(?) to be run from within
VMD, it would be _highly_ welcome), and that b) you don't
provide and means to reproduce your problems, e.g. file(s)
and screenshots and an explanation what you expect and what
you get instead.
cheers,
axel.
p.s.: the current version of VMD is 1.8.7. due to the long
time since the release of 1.8.6, it is possible that
you have run into a known and fixed problem.
