Hi Raji,

Yeah, this can be frustrating. I had a related problem a few years ago. The following thread may be informative:

https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=ind0710&L=COOT&P=R2679&1=COOT&9=A&J=on&d=No+Match%3BMatch%3BMatches&z=4

As Antony points out, it's a problem with X11 as implemented under the quartz window manager in MacOSX.

I switched to KDE for a while and that solved the problem, but ultimately found that switching between KDE and quartz was a bit of a pain and reverted back to the latter.

HTH,
Iain

    If you're running Coot on a Mac - it's also unfortunately a
    well-documented "feature", something to do with Apple's
    implementation of X11.

    Thanks Mischa and Juergen. That was probably my most ridiculous
    post to the CCP4BB!! I found the pop-up dialog box hiding behind
    all my zillion windows. Now why the pop-up window would not pop
    up actively on top of all other windows is a question for another
    time. Nevertheless, your replies helped :)

        Have you moved your primary window away ? I mean just in case
        the pop up window opened behind the actual scene window.

        Hi Folks,

        Apologies for a non-CCP4 question.

        I am trying to write our coordinates following SSM
        superposition using the File Save Coordinates option in
        Coot. But if I click the "Select Filename" button, nothing
        happens. I thought I would get an option to pick a filename
        and specify what I want my output coordinate filename to be
        called. But that isn't happening. Also, clicking on the
        molecule on the graphics screen (as someone pointed out in a
        previous post) doesn't help either.

        I was able to run this very identical routine several times
        recently so not sure what just happened now! Haven't
        upgraded Coot or anything. Am using Coot 0.6.2-pre-1
        (revision 3468)  [with guile 1.8.7 embedded] [with python
        2.7.1 embedded].

        Help?

        Thanks.
        Raji
