Summary: inser smiles gives wrong stereo isomer

Initial Comment:

  1. I generates this SMILES string for cis decalin: C1[C@H]2C@@HCCCC2 using http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/edit/index.html

  2. When pasting it into Avogadro via “Build > Insert > SMILES”, I get the trans-isomer

  3. Pasting C1[C@H]2C@@HCCCC2 into Chemdraw gives the cis isomer, so SMILES is correct

  4. Other observation: [H][C@@]12C@@([H])CCCC1 (found at http://www-jmg.ch.cam.ac.uk/data/molecules/misc/cisdecalin.html) gives the right isomer in BOTH Avogadro and ChemDraw
