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.
