Summary: SF6 rendered unexpectedly

Initial Comment:
When inserting a sulfur hexafluoride molecule, by using the SMILES specification “FS(F)(F)(F)(F)F” or “S(F)(F)(F)(F)(F)(F)”, the molecule displayed appears to be only SF5: two of the fluorine atoms are positioned at the very same location, and have to be manually dragged apart; forcefield optimisation does not do the trick, but works once the atoms have been separated.

I’m unable to create WF6 or UF6 molecules for comparison. The hypothetical SCl6 molecule shows the same behaviour.

To help others find this bu report: hypervalent, sulfur hexafluoride, sulphur hexafluoride, SF6, uranium hexafluoride, tungsten hexafluoride, tungsten hexachloride, UF6, WF6.
