Not a bug but an enhancement. When converting a volume to a surface, the default colour of the result surface is quite dark. It would be ideal if the default colour is some mid-grey or so.
Of course this can be changed via the colour attribute, but it is almost always the case that the default colour is very difficult to see and so it would save a lot of clicking.

Perhaps making the background colour to stick for the next time on uses the viewer would be handy too.

Two issues:

1. The 360 degree rotation (which is a superb function to create rotating anaglyphs) creates 180 slices at incremental angles. The first and second slices seem to be the same except the first one has the shadow of where the menu was when launched the command, so this slice (number 1) should perhaps be deleted.

2. Cycling through the animation, though, still shows a little jump between the last and first slices, so I wonder if there is some rounding of the angle positioning that gets accumulated and becomes more notorious at the end of the rotation.

Bene, could you have a look?

Funny -- I just filed an issue on the 3D Viewer GitHub Issues tracker for this:
