[Chimera-users] USCF CTRL + Left Click

[Tom Goddard]

Almost surely a graphics driver problem. Chimera needs a functioning graphics driver to know what atom was clicked on. Try updating the system graphics driver. Could also use Chimera menu Help / Report a bug.

However, they cannot deselect individual atoms once the entire geometry is selected, and they can only CTRL + Left Click outside the geometry to deselect the entire geometry. Additionally, drag-clicking does not appear to work.
