[Pw_forum] Doubt in ibrav = 7

Dear QE Users,

I have encountered lot of problems with ibrav = 7, when plotting the
structure with xcrysden it seems that the atoms aren't at the right
positions, using "crystal" for ATOMIC_POSITIONS give incorrect atoms
coordinates while visualization, I corrected that issue using "bohr" in
stead off "crystal"  (of course by doing conversion), but it seems that one
atom is missing (Second La atom with coordinate 0.5 0 0.25 ) even if it
exist well in the input file.
Please tell me if that's just a bug on xcrysden or something is wrong with
my data.
Please help because the calculation not converged after 100 iteration.
