This problem is unrelated to the mouse button selection.  It is due to an
insufficient color depth on your video card.  Try switching to a display
mode with the maximum number of colors (ie 24/32 bit, or 16.7 million
colors).  PyMOL uses color-keying to identify picked atoms, but some cheap
video cards don't do this well in 16 bit (65536 colors).

If this doesn't work, please email me directly with follow-up.
