I switched to snowleopard last week and this made the using 32 bit version of ImageJ
as fix around this ROI problem fail because snowleopard does not come with Java 1.5 installed so
1.43 loads with java 1.6

I emailed Wayne Rasband to ask him what priority was being put to fix this
bug- which I consider major.

But in the mean time I found out how to put back on JAVA 1.5 on Snow Leopard
see
http://wiki.oneswarm.org/index.php/OS_X_10.6_Snow_Leopard

you do not need to do this in terminal mode.
simple download Java 1.5 from the link or from you leopard OX system disk.
unarchive it, place it in the JAVA frameworks folder instead of the 1.5.0
alias file that is currently in the folder now. Finally, open Java
preferences utility and move JAVA 1.5 32 bit as the highest priority to open
applications.

Of course this may cause other aps that need java 1.6 to crash, but it does
solve the 1.43 (32 bit) multiple ROI selection problem
