> When you create a track/trajectory display in McV, there is a Time Mode 
> option in the Layer Controls that allows you to determine how much of the 
> track/trajectory is displayed at each time step.  There is an option for End 
> Time called 'Use Last Time from Data'.  This option doesn't appear to work.  
> If you select this option, click OK, and go back to the Time Settings window, 
> 'From Animation Time' is selected instead of 'Use Last Time from Data'.  'Use 
> First Time from Data' does not appear to exhibit this problem.
