I can confirm the above on my MacBook Pro. One cannot deselect atoms, or
when "edit selected atoms" is chosen, the keyboard cannot be used to change
anything in the spreadsheet.
Works OK on the same MacBookPro in an Ubuntu virtual machine using VirtualBox.
This could be nasty to debug, since (I'm guessing here) the Amber code
hasn't changed in forever (probably twenty years?) but the XQuartz
X-server has diverged a lot from older Xorg/X11 distributions. This is
probably a bug in our code that is now exposed in the newer XServer.
Maybe others on the list who have access to Mac or Linux boxes could see
what is happening and report.
(Note that de-select is shift + lef click, not shift + right click.)
Thanks for the report....dac
