Can you clarify what you mean by "the first frame of the QM/MM simulation"?
Did you do a one- or two-step minimization, and look at the output
coordinates? Try to find the simplest calculation that you can that
illustrates the problem.

QM/MM folks: is there some way to save or otherwise access the Orca input
file?
