Hi,

you mentionned that you have 2 types of beads called CA and CG. Here, 
you are selecting beads named CA and CB. Maybe that's where the problem 
come from. Try to modify the representations manually (from the 
"representation" menu) to see if it change something. If not, that is 
probably a bug in the parsing of the gmxdump output. That is where the 
bonds come from.

Cheers,
Nicolas
