Bob,

Yes my original concern was a H atom deletion. However, there is another delete issue that is confusing things as I try to see a reproducible pattern here. Specifically, when H is the selected atom, click replacement actually deletes that carbon atom containing the intended target. There is some randomness to this. I'm trying to identify the exact conditions. A halogen next to the carbon atom in question seems to be a factor. For example, replacing the Cl's with H's one at a time on 1,2,3-trichloropropane.

What was intentional is that if you move an H atom off the structure, it gets deleted. Shouldn't happen with other atoms. Was it an H atom? I could see how that might be a bad idea after all..

    Bob,

    If you move the mouse slightly during an atom replace, you end up
    deleting the clicked atom. Is this flick/delete an intended action? If
    so, I can see its merit, but a mouse in aged hand tends to tremble a
    bit. If this is an intended action, is there a way to turn it off and
    on? If it is not intended, I guess it could be a bug.
