PF6 problem #155

We currently have a problem with the way we draw PF6 counter ions. I thought it was a problem with the display of the error red line, but it's actually a problem with PF6 as every other ions are displayed correctly.
The problem is that we are not drawing it correctly right now, we put the negative charge on the P whereas it should be delocalized on all the F. Ketcher draws an error line because P shouldn't have 6 bonds. One way to fix it would be to make 5 covalent PF bonds and a sixth non covalent, with the negative charge on F. Or it would be great if we could simply write text like in ChemDraw (ie. PF6-), but then it means Ketcher has to modify their program.

example of the error line (you can cycle through all molecules by refreshing the home page, you will only see red lines for PF6):
