Fail to pass arguments to orbital module of chemmacros when used inside chemfig












0














While illustrating atomic orbitals for 1,3-butadiene guided by examples in chemmacros' manual, I receive the following error:



Argument of orbital has an extra }. }



MWE:



documentclass{article}
usepackage{chemmacros}
chemsetup{modules = all}
chemsetup[orbital]{overlay}
usepackage{chemfig}
setchemfig{
atom sep = 2.5em
}

begin{document}

chemfig{
orbital{p}
-[:30]orbital{p}
-[:-30]{orbital[phase=-]{p}}
-[:30]{orbital[phase=-]{p}}
}

end{document}


pdflatex produces the following [incorrect] structure:



Defected structure of 1,3-butadiene



The same error occurs for the examples from the manual where optional arguments are passed to orbital[...]{...} inside chemfig{...}. I'm using fully updated TeXLive 2018.

          Empirically I found out that putting arguments inside {...} (and not entire orbital[...]{...} command) solves the problem:



          documentclass{article}
          usepackage{chemmacros}
          chemsetup{modules = all}
          chemsetup[orbital]{overlay}
          usepackage{chemfig}
          setchemfig{
          atom sep = 2.5em
          }

          begin{document}

          chemfig{
          orbital{p}
          -[:30]orbital{p}
          -[:-30]orbital[{phase=-}]{p}
          -[:30]orbital[{phase=-}]{p}
          }

          end{document}


          1,3-butadiene



          I'm still not sure what caused the former solution to stop working; maybe it has something to do with the recent chemfig update.
