Paul,

I've had the same problem on both Win98 and Win2k using PyMOL 0.74-0.80, but with a Logitech wheel mouse. The easiest solution that I've found is to switch the mouse layout to 2-button, rather than 3-button, and just use Shift-click (if I remember correctly) to pick atoms. If you're very used to the wheel-click to pick, you could also remap the wheel button to Shift-Click, and from there switching to 2-button layout will allow you to click the scroll wheel to pick atoms. You won't get the benefits of the full 3-button layout, but it'll save you having to hold a key down every time you want to pick an atom.

Dear Warren and fellow users,

I am having trouble with atom picking on windows NT, using
pymol 0.80 (with python 2.1).

If I start from the methane fragment I find it hard to pick
the H atoms, while I can select them all I have to click
some way away from the atom to select it (actually I find I
need to click close to the bond between C and another H atom)

BTW I have one of the MS mice which has the middle mouse replaced
by a wheel.. mildly inconvenient for pickling with, but as far as
I can see this is not the problem.

Similar picking works on my SGI using a recent CVS checkout,
(a month or so old, sorry I don't have an exact checkout date).
I have noticed similar situations arising on the SGI in the past
which trying to set up the (lb) selection, but they are not so
consistent and I cannot reproduce them now.

Any ideas?

thanks in advance,

Paul
