I'm not terribly familiar with this feature, I'll let someone else
answer this one.

The measure tool needs at least two atoms to be clicked. When the
first atom is clicked, a "#1" label should appear on the atom, then
when the second is clicked, the distance between them will be written
at the bottom of the 3D display. Does the "#1" label appear?
