Picking atoms in Mercury or Hermes stopped working after I upgraded to 2024.2

Solution

This is a known issue resulting from an upgrade to the Qt library which was included in the 2024.2 release. It relates to using a laptop with an external monitor, and the workaround is either to run Mercury or Hermes on the laptop screen or to close the laptop and use only the external monitor.
