Re: [PyMOL] strange mouse button problem since version 1.8 with PyMOL for Linux

[Thomas Holder]

Hi Christoph,

This sounds like a serious picking bug, possibly related to your graphics 
driver. Please send further details directly to me (I'll send an update to the 
list once we've figured it out).

Thanks,
  Thomas

[PyMOL] strange mouse button problem since version 1.8 with PyMOL for Linux

[Christoph Parthier]

Hi,

I have a strange issue with (incentive) PyMOL version >= 1.8 for Linux 
running under Scientic Linux 6.x (64-bit, current OPENGL driver for 
NVIDIA Quadro graphics cards).

Independent of the mouse mode in PyMOL (2-Button/3-Button) selecting 
(left mouse button), ID-ing (right mouse button) or centering (middle 
mouse button) residues, from time to time the wrong residues are 
selected/IDd/centered which are not even in close proximity to the 
intended residue (or just hidden by too narrow slab settings).
Furthermore this doesn't happen consistently, about 2-3 out of 10 mouse 
clicks (still annoying...), possibly with minimal mouse movement 
inbetween but still pointing at the same residue. Interestingly,  the 
same 'wrong' residues keep popping up, when getting selected erroneously 
(but I can't get figure out any 'systematic' behind it yet). The 
behaviour appears with any molecule loaded (also the '1tii' built-into 
the cartoon demo of PyMOL).

Interesting also, I do not observe this behaviour with PyMOL 1.7.4.3. 
and also not when running PyMOL 1.8.x via remote login 
(X-windows-powered SSH), which might indicate a local graphics/mouse 
driver problem?

Any comments are welcome!

Thanks,
Christoph
