0003305: I cannot edit or trim sequence
I have a 64 bit (6-Core Intel Core i7 ) macbook pro with Mac OS 11.4. I have downloaded and tried both MEGA X and MEGA 11. Using the Edit/View Sequence Files (Trace) function under the align button, I can upload an .abs file or files, see the sequence and see the chromatograph, but I cannot use most of the tools and I cannot edit the sequence. For example, I can resize the trace horizontally, but not vertically. The vertical slider is unresponsive. I cannot select a base, nor can I mask any part of the sequence. The window is, for the most part, unresponsive. I would like to use MEGA for a class I am teaching this Spring Semester, but cannot teach how to use it if it won't work on my own computer.

Thank you for your help.

Hello Kent,

I am writing in response to the bug report you recently submitted regarding the MEGA software. Unfortunately, some users have encountered stability issues when using MEGA on macOS systems, particularly with Big Sur and Monterey operating systems. For those uses, we recommend downloading the Windows version of MEGA and running it using virtualization software such as VMware Fusion or Virtual Box.
