[Chimera-users] mouse drag selection not working

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Joel,

  Broken drag select is a bug in the Mac graphics drivers with Intel graphics.  I reported it to Apple about 14 months ago (Apple bug 18102609, the OpenGL  glPolygonMode() call does not work).  Nvidia graphics does work on the Mac.  Apple has not even commented on the bug.  They probably will not fix it because it is rarely used.  One ugly way to make drag select work is to display molecules in “wire” style.  Here is the Chimera bug report for this issue:
