Dear Fabian,
I don’t think the kind of mouse is that important… I use a plug-in one myself.  

If you were using some other application you may need to click back into the Chimera window first.  Other than that, my only idea is to check your Preferences settings, menu: Favorites… Preferences, category “Labels” and make sure “Show atomspec balloon” is “true” (and click Save if you had to change it from false to true).

I hope this helps,

Use a Bluetooth mouse.
It works well in Mac.

Subject: [Chimera-users] mouse hovering not working

Dear all,

The mouse hovering is not working for me, I use a Mac, and tried several version of Chimera, but the residue / atom number automatic labelling does not appear when hovering over.

Any suggestion?

Thanks a lot ,

Best,

Fabian
