Hi Alan, Thanks a lot for your long and detailed answer. Here are some clarifications :

Just > checking. :) Yes my mouse (Magic Mouse) is OK in all other apps. I also tried with an classical USB mouse (with a wheel) , I got the same behavior. I also tried with an app to emulate an 3 third button on Magic Mouse, Pb are the same, but I can preview a miniature chessboard with middle clicking on a position. > > In Scid, both my trackpad and mouse operate differently than yours. > Right-clicking the PGN (notation) window is the same, it selects the move, > positions the board, and opens the context menu.

Hum, what I mean is : After loaded a game, I Left click on the first move (e4 !) : nothing happens, only e4 become focused in blue, after that, I move forward with the right left arrows keys of the keyboard : pieces move correctly on the board, BUT nothing happen in the PGN window (instead of focused on actual move). To have the good focused in the PGN window I have to refresh that window: moving mouse over, for example. This behavior seems only affect docked PGN window, because if it is undocked focus seems to follow correctly arrows keys moves, but my left click pb still remains. What I discovered recently is : If an engine is running - not just waiting but running - in a docked window ( on the right on the PGN window ) in that case, focus and left click are OK in the PGN window. It's like if some refresh were missing if nothing is happening in the window. > >> Are there other users on Mac?

So, yes Scid is quirky, but I don't know why I like a lot this program.....
