By clicking on tools on the toolbar brings up the menu drop-down instead of switching tools

CS3 (real licensed copies), OS X 10.5, Cintiq 12WX - using keyboard shortcuts changes the active tool, but clicking on a tool in the tool bar with the mouse or stylus does not; Instead it shows the menu drop-down with associated tools - Polygonal Lasso, magnetic Lasso, etc. - and clicking with the mouse or stylus in an active window has no effect until a second click. It is absolutely infuriating bug, and I have better to do that swearing screaming at my computer when I have deadlines to meet. Can someone please tell me how CS3 accept 'by clicking on a tool' as ' switch so that the tool "rather than" drop-down menu view other versions of this tool? It took half a day of Googling to figure out how to fix these trash the last time it happened, and stupidly, I did not write the process.

Your understanding of the "obsolete" is as poor as your understanding of 'help '. CS has done everything I need Photoshop CS2 and do still works very well on my Windows machine, CS3 is just what was common back when I had access to student discounts making it actually worth buying a new version of the program.

I had already tried to reset everything that was possible to reset in Photoshop itself - and reinstall the drivers using another mouse and the Cintiq, and restart the computer - several times without success before finally discovering the source of the problem... which is that whenever the System for the mouse settings have been changed, CS3 distorts apparently any setting double-click outside the default as a Ctrl-click the equivalent of a right click Mac in Windows. Because the double-click speed has been changed, each time I left-button/single-clicked on anything in Photoshop, it had misinterpreted as a right-/ Ctrl-click the button instead, which is the normal command to put in place the drop-down menu with all the other partners of the tools.

Reset the speed of the default double click in system settings solved the problem, so I'm CE marking as "assumed answered" in the hope that someone else running into the same problem on an old system might find with Google at least.

  • How can I make the "abort" button show? (I can not click on 'stop' in the menu drop-down operations).

    I modified a model; It took me a while loop inside another while loop, which causes the "stop" button to the don't end not the functioning of the VI. I hooked the "stop" button at the same time of the icons stop loops while, but is not complete the VI, so I need to use the button 'give up', but it isn't here.

    Move the button "stop" inside the inner while loop.

    You must also move the button 'save' inside of the inside while loop as well.

  • The cutting tool will not work in trying to capture the menu drop-down

    I've recently upgraded to Office 2016 from 2013 and since then my Snipping Tool will not work correctly. I can always capture what I want except for the drop down menus. Eight other users are connected to my network of the company; all Windows 7, all Office 2016 and it works on all the computer but mine. I opened the Snipping Tool, click Cancel (tried to escape, too), and then open the menu drop down, press Ctrl + print screen and nothing happens. Can someone help me?

    I just thought of it myself. Used to work in previous versions using the Esc, then press Ctrl + print screen. Now, it's a little different.

    1. Your screen are preparing to capture you want, with the exception of the drop down.
    2. Open the capture tool and choose the type of capture you want (I use the Rectangle) and now the new part... Choose a delay for however many seconds you have to when you press New when you can open the drop desired down.
    3. Click new. (The capture tool will activate not to but the number of seconds you have chosen late.)
    4. Open your drop desired down and wait for the tool.
    5. Proceed as usual.

    Hope that helps!

  • Is there a way to return to the menu drop-down button "return"?

    It's a giant pain click back several times when before I could just look in the menu to find the page I wanted to come back.

    Is there a way to do this somewhere else perhaps?

    You can get the menu drop-down by clicking on the previous/next buttons or now the left key pressed until the list is displayed.

    1. Click the Start button.
    2. Click Open .
    3. Click programs .
    4. Click on Accessories .
    5. Drag the icon into the folder.

  • Y at - it an option to activate the menu drop-down overview of the policies?

    Until about a week ago, I could type in the menu and the box of selection taking place and I could select fonts. (as in the image below) Now, it only goes to the exact police that I type, and there is no drop down with it. It's really make things more difficult for me. I can get the menu drop-down appears, but only if I click on the arrow and use the mouse. The second, that I start typing it disappears.

    Does anyone know how to recover my preview? I'm worried that I hit a weird keyboard shortcut.

  • The bookmarksdrop in the menu drop-down is too big, as it covers the greater part of my screen - how can I make it smaller.

    Whenever I select the menu drop down Favorites, it is so big that it covers the major part of my screen. Then, when I go to a folder in the drop-down menu, if I stop to any other folder, it opens and is so great that the menu drop-down or completely covered. This is VERY irritating and I never had this problem before moving on to Firefox 5.0. How do I don't cure it?

    It is probably because you have one or more bookmarks with a long title.

    The width of a column in the list of bookmarks is in the current versions of Firefox automatically adjusted the bookmark with the longest name.

    You can check the names of the bookmarks and the longer more short.

  • 660 x Schematic of the low resistance of the menu drop-down

    The 660 x data sheet mentions that the State of market has an entry (high Z) with low pull-down, but I can't find a diagram with this low resistance value of the menu drop down.

    I want to measure a clock signal on my DUT without loading or distort the signal, so I intend to use a buffer. I am concerned about the current required drive to overcome unrolling integrated resistors and the requirements of threshold as a result of my meter PXI-6608.

    If anyone has a link to the recommended buffers, levers of level or an article in the knowledge base with an example circuit, it would be much appreciated!
