Hi Carlo,

That behavior is not my intention for the single point deglitching.  I 
actually try hard to select the closest point to the center of the crosshair 
in that situation.  I'll look into it.

I should mention that there are some situations in Athena where it only 
considers the position of the *vertical* crosshair.  For example, if you 
pluck a value for, say, kmin from a chi(k) plot after clicking one of those 
little blue-X buttons, Athena uses the x-coordinate chosen from the plot 
rather than the x-coordinate of the point closest to the center of the 
crosshair.  That seems sensible to me in that case.

But I do agree that for deglitching, choosing the position of the horizontal 
cross hair would be screwy.  I'll let you know what I find.

Thanks for the bug report,
B
