Hi,

seems like the Mutate-button isn't working in Educational-mode. Atleast the intro to design and two next.
I'm on windows 10Pro 64-bit, v. 22H2

The Mutate button in the Intro To Design, Swappin' Sidechains, COVID-19 Spike Binder, and Primary Structure educational mode puzzles is a manual mutate button. You first need to select the particular residue(s) you want to mutate, then you can press the mutate button to pull up the amino acid selection dialog. (Note that if you hover over a disabled action button, there should be a pop-up tooltip which tells you why the button is currently disabled. e.g. "Disabled: Needs one or more segments selected" if you need to select a residue.)

I am also having this issue on Windows 10, Education mode, Online. I'm trying to teach my daughter, and we are stuck on the first Intro to Design puzzle, have selected a mutatable amino acid, but the mutate menu is not appearing when we click on it or type 'm'. We have tried closing and re-opening the puzzle; will next try closing and opening the foldit program.

Closing and re-opening foldit (back to Online mode) allowed us to complete the Intro to Design puzzle - mutate menu was working! HOWEVER, it stopped working after we advanced to the next puzzle (Swappin' Sidechains). Closing and re-opening foldit worked again, but I imagine you want to look at something that is keeping the mutate menu from working (no view of amino acid options; just "Mutate the segment" box) when clicked in a mutation-involving puzzle started after completing (or just moving on from?) a different puzzle.
