David,

Are the misclicks plausible or absurd?  For example, if you click on the
left side of the screen are unrelated atoms being selected on the right
side?

If so, then the problem can probably be corrected by running under Millions
of Colors instead of Thousands (see Display under System Preferences).

If not, then try to rotate the camera and adjust the clipping planes so that
no other atoms are displayed near the atoms you wish to click on.

Cheers,
Warren

Subject: [PyMOL] problem picking atoms

Hi,
    I am using MacPyMol under OS X 10.4 on a G5 PowerMac, and I frequently
have problems select atoms by clicking on them.  Very often, no matter how
carefully I aim with the mouse, the atoms selected are far from the ones I
wanted.  It seems that this should be simple!  Is there something I am
missing?

Thanks,
David Goldenberg
