Crop & Transform click-drag issue

When Cropping an image in Elements 10, I left click my mouse to start the crop and before I can drag the line, the bounding box shifts/jumps into another postion, I hit escape and try again and it keeps doing this erratic behavior. In order to save an image once I get it to the correct location, I have to hit enter instead of left clicking inside the box to set, otherwise it will jump to another location. Also this strange behavior will happen when transforming perspective & scew. I left click on corner node and if I do not hit the node exactly, the image with jump outside viewing area or rotate or change to another tool. I have windows XP and this issue happens with all my mouses including wired, unwired and laptop mouse pad. Thank you

I'd reset the photoshop elements 9 preferences by holding down the Shift+Alt+Ctrl keys just after starting the launch of the pse 9 editor.
Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the photoshop elements settings file.
Press Yes because you do.
Also, if you use the Welcome screen, you might consider making direct shortcuts for the pse 9 editor and orginizer on your desktop instead of using the Welcome screen.

Windows 7 in boot camp - two finger click and drag issues

Hey everyone. I have Windows 7 on Boot Camp (MacBook Pro mid-2010, Mac OS X Lion) and I cannot seem to click on a window with one finger, then use a second finger to drag it. Every time I try it brings up the right click menu. Is there any way of fixing this? I want to be able to drag, darn it! Thanks.
Grant

Having had the same issue on my MacBook Pro with Boot Camp 5.0.5033 on Windows 8, workaround being external mouse, I have found the following:
If Trackpad->Two Fingers->Secondary Click is enabled in Control Panel/Boot Camp, in order to Click and Drag one cannot click any place on the trackpad. One must click bottom area of the trackpad with one finger, and then use another finger to drag.
If Trackpad->Two Fingers->Secondary Click is disabled, Click and Drag works the same way as in Mac OS X: one can click any place on MacBook Pro built-in trackpad with one finger, and then use another finger to drag the window or select a fragment of text. The two fingers Secondary Click, consequently, becomes disabled.
For me Mac OS X-style Click&Drag is more important, so I disabled two fingers Secondary Click, and assigned Bottom-Right-Corner of the trackpad to be Right-Click instead.
Don’t know if the question is still open… Hope, however, the info might be helpful to those having the same inconvenience with Click and Drag under Boot Camp.

Very difficult to click/drag corner handles to resize crop/ken burns

I'm using FCPX 10.1.4 on a Macbook Pro Retina 15 (mid-2012), Yosemite 10.10.2. However, I've seen this problem over the previous several releases of FCPX, and also in OSX 10.9.x
When using the Crop/Ken Burns editor, the corners of the area are bracketed with blue handles (or red/green for the ken burns edit).
Here's how it's supposed to work, as I understand it:
To move the crop region, you click within the bracketed area and drag to move the crop-window over the source material.
To resize the crop region, you click a corner bracket handle, and see the bracket change to a slightly larger bracket, then drag it in/out to make the area smaller/larger.
However, I find that most of the time, when I try to click/drag one of the corner handles to resize the area, it instead acts as a move operation.
Even worse with the ken burns editor, often the click toggles between the start and end crop regions, when I really wanted to just resize one of the regions.
In short, I find these brackets unbelievably fidgety to click/drag for resizing/cropping. It almost always doesn't work right, so I find myself wasting a lot of time with click/drag/undo, try again, click/drag/undo, try again, etc, until finally the click works as the intended resize.
I've tried everything I can think of- modifier keys while clicking, click and hold a moment, double-click, etc.
Is this a bug, or am missing something?
Thanks,
John

I don't have problems with the Trim or the Crop tool, but with the Ken Burns tool it can be sometimes tricky to hit the right spot.
I went and experimented a bit, as I don't use Ken Burns very often.
I can offer two little tidbits from my experience:
1) Cursor size: I am in the habit of having a larger cursor (by using the Accessibility in System Preferences), because, especially when using two displays it is easier to spot where it is. I found that this makes it trickier to know where the active cursor spot is. Reducing the cursor back to normal makes hitting those green and red corners much easier
2) Changing from start to end in Ken Burns: if you want to hit, say, a green corner which happens to be *inside* the red frame, and you have red (end) selected, you have to click first to select green (start), and then click and drag. Otherwise your click will register as a drag of the red frame. No such problem if the aforementioned green corner is outside the red frame (then click and drag immediately works). This makes sense, but it was not obvious to me at first.

I have a seagate 1tb hard drive and a 16gb memory stick, how do i transfer avi files from one to another as the click drag and drop wont work, please help?

i have a seagate 1tb hard drive and a 16gb memory stick, how do i transfer avi files from one to another as the click drag and drop wont work, please help?

Greetings,
What happens when you drag it?
Make sure the drive you are moving the files to has enough available space to receive the file:
Click on the movie file and go to File > Get Info and note the "size"
Check the drive to which you are moving the file to make sure it has enough available space: https://idisk.me.com/madisonfile-Public/web/finder-drive-available-space-and-for mat.html
Also note the format of the drive you are copying too. If it is not Mac OS Extended or FAT (not recommended unless you are taking it to a windows computer) then that may be the issue.
Hope that helps.

Shift+Click+Drag is shaking?

Photoshop CC 2014: Shift+Click+Drag an item on a layer to reposition it has a shaking effect when moved further than 30 pixels from the original position, this is then very awkward to snap to the position required? So rather than snapping to the correct position it ends up being a few pixels off where you want it to be. Is this a known bug, and if so is there a fix for it?
Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?

My coworker and I have been experiencing the same problem!!!! Sometimes when we shift click to drag objects, they will go in perfectly straight lines. Other times, the object barely moves and it "shakes", moving a few pixels diagonally. Very annoying but we haven't been able to find a solution.
I wonder if it is something simple? Or just a bug......Shift+Click+Drag is shaking?sishamDSS

Can't click drag within widgets in Dashboard

Not sure what caused it, but suddenly I can't click-drag WITHIN a dashboard widget. For example, if I click and hold the pulldown menu in the Dictionary to change to thesaurus, the pull-down menu won't activate. It only activates if I click and release to bring it up. And I can't select text within a text field. If I click and drag over a word to select it, the whole widget will move.
Same issue as this unresolved thread-- http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11847234&#11847234
It occurs even if I log out/in as a different user. Sure, there are workarounds, but I'd like to fix this behavior. Anyone got any ideas?

I'm in the same boat - is there a solution to this?

Illustrator shuts down when I click drag on an object.

It doesn't matter if I open the file in another version... It doesn't matter if I copy out the content and paste into a new file... Illustrator continues to shut down when I click drag on an object. Is this a keyboard issue? Or a program issue? or a combination?
I have plenty of memory on my computer.

After being on Adobe Chat support all morning, we uninstalled and reinstalled the program (outside of the cloud -as re-installing from the cloud produced the same error in the software).
When having this issue, it did not matter what object was selected and moved. It did not matter what file I was in. It did not matter if I created a new file.

X220 touchpad, Can't right click drag with more than one stroke

1. Put cursor over a file or folder on the desktop.
2. Hold the lower right corner of the touchpad (embedded right button)
3. Drag with another finger (either hand)
4. Lift off the dragging finger to reposition, then touch again, and it lets go of the icon, returning it to the original position. (This means I'm not accidentally lifting off the right button. If I was doing that, the icon would remain where I moved it to.
There are 3 ways to keep it from doing this:
a. Use the right hard button above the pad.
b. Press the touchpad button below the bend along the lower edge (As close to the edge as possible.
c. Insulate the button pressing finger from the pad with folded paper, or press with a pencil eraser.
b and c above show that it's the presence of a touch in the active area above the lower edge bend, This touch, plus another touch being initiated in any other area of the pad interrupts the drag operation.
The "tap and drag" settings have no effect on this.
I just received the machine today after a 1 month order wait, and this is frustating enough to make me want to send it back. As-is, it's nearly impossible to do right-click moves using the right pad button. It becomes a 2-handed operation, one to hold the upper right button, and the other to do the dragging.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

ok.
Control panel, "Programs and Features" Uninstalled Thinkpad Untranav Utility and driver items.
Rebooted. Confirmed that these applications ar eno longer present.
Checked Device Manager, under Mice and Pointing Devices. All it shows there is "PS/2 compatible Mouse"
Results:
1. Right click with touchpad right switch now generates a right click.
2. Left, and right click drags with the touchpad lower switches now work, but there is a tendency for the finger touch to move the cursor off target before the press is completed.
Suggestion to Synaptics.
When pressing one of the touchpad switches, there will always be a finger touch on the touchpad sensing surface first, which will probably have a negative effect.
To avoid this, any initial touch in the lower left or right areas should be ignored, and any cursor motion generated by that touch should be undone as soon as the switch closes.
Downloaded latest driver and utility.
Installing driver (15.3.6.0 / 6hgx40ww) first, and restart.
Result for driver reinstall:
1. Right click with touchpad right switch works
2. Right click multiple swipe drag works.
3. Left click drag works, but ONLY if the clicking finger is touching the active area of the pad. If you click too close to the edge, or use an object to press the switch, then the switch closure itself is not recognized. The same issue exists for right clicks.
Actually the behavior seems to be reversed now, You MUST have a finger touch in the areas that prevented movement earlier to register the click event, If you press the switch too high, or too low, or with an object, such as pencil eraser, then there's no click.
So, with the new driver. I get acceptable dragging action as long as my finger isn't too far out of position.
However, doing things like dragging a scrollbar with these buttons is still very frustrating, since the cursor tends to move off target before the switch closes. This can be avoided by bringing the finger down onto the pad very quickly, to close the switch before any movement takes place. A slow press will almost always move the cursor before the click.
Installing the utility (7VGQ14WW) next.
Still works, and the initial lag when trying to drag things is now gone.
So, aside for the cursor to move while clicking, I'd say the problem was fixed by the new driver.
Thanks for the fast responses, and to the driver devs for fixing it this quickly.

Spot Removal Tool w. Click & Drag & Wacom Pen not showing area painted over until pen released

SOLUTION found a few minutes after I posted this!
Went into Wacom Tablet Properties and adjusted Tip Feel to Soft and Tilt Sensitivity to High.
I am having the following issue in LR 5 using Wacom Intuos 3 pen (Win 7 Pro, 16 GB RAM, Nvidia GTX760, i7 3820 3.6 processor):
When using the Wacom pen to click and drag to heal a spot, the area I draw does not show the path (doesn't paint white) while I am drawing it. Only after I have drawn the area to clone/heal and released the pen does it show. Click & drag works fine with a regular mouse and with the Wacom mouse. I have penflicks turned off in Windows.
Anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions?
Message was edited by: marzo19 - Solution found.

Hi,
Many thanks for this tip. I'd actually abandoned using my wacom pen&touch when using any of the adjustments (graduated filter, spot and brush) because of lag etc.
I don't have the tilt sensitivity on my tablet, but ajdusting the tip feel made a major improvement. ... the mouse still works better though.
I actually wonder just how many of the 'lag issues' being experienced are actually about mouse/tablet interaction.
When I quit lightroom, my tablet seizes up for about 20 seconds - seems like a driver reloading or something.

On list view in folders, how do I click drag second group of files?

Back in Snow Leopard and all previous systems, I was able to on list view in a folder be able to click and drag a set of files to select them, then by pressing command again, click drag on a second group of files I would like to select together and so forth. This was handy as I can select really quick on list view folders and files which I need. Obviously the files are listed alphabetically and I don't need to select them all, only groups of files eg. files which are all pdfs that are randomly spread out based on names, or mp3s which I want to move but not move the folders that are in the same folder. You get my drift.
Now on Lion, I can only click drag first group of files, and then on second selection by pressing command, I cannot drag anymore files except for the first click of the file I select.
Is this going to be like this for Lion or did Apple leave this out accidently? Is there a setting I can set back to previous style of group click/drag selection?
This is a bit annoying as I would like to quickly group select a could of groups in a folder QUICKLY to drag to other folders or to simply trash them all in one go. Now I have to stop and start and it slows down my productivity when I have to clean my files on my computer.
Thanks for your help.

I have the same problem.
I've made another post...
Hoping this is a Bug and not a new feature...

Is there a way to undo the Ctrl+click+drag BD expansion after the fact?

I had an internet help make some simple code additions for me and in the process expanded my BD to a degree that it is very bothersome to work on. She left me with a large gap in the center of my code, then saved it. Is there a method that does the opposite of Ctrl+right click+drag?
I basically need to move half of a state machine loop(s) and all included VIs on that half of the BD at once? Don't want to manually move 20+ cases worth of VIs individually if I can help it.
Now the real question - Why does an intern have a bigger screen than I do?!?!?

ctrl+u can be tuned in the LabVIEW ini to provide better results. I have not found a magical setting for it yet. (My BDs don't usually get too bad) but I think a reasonable BD Clean-up is achievable with some persistance (try it- undo -reset- try it again) Take snapshots along the way. Perhaps even try 1 setting Optomized vertically and reset to optomized Horizontally and clean again. (That technique seams to hold the most promise IMHO.)
Now, What were you doing giving a chunk of code to an intern WITHOUT a style guide requirement and supervision?

Somehow your bookmarks that normally appear on the separate Bookmarks Toolbar (the part on the left) got onto your main Navigation Toolbar. To move them back, return to Customize mode and drag "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" to the Bookmarks Toolbar. Then click Done and hopefully that will stick.

ITunes bug? Rating stars won't click-drag left-right anymore

The latest iTunes patch (v10.1.0.54 running on Windows 7) seems to have an annoying bug: When I'm rating a song, it immediately takes my initial click, regardless of whether I hold down the mouse button -- whereas I used to be able to click in the area where the rating stars are, hold down the mouse button, and then drag out the stars to the rating I wanted, e.g. 4 stars. Now, however, iTunes ignores the fact that I'm holding down the mouse button and sets the rating at whatever position I initially click, e.g. 1 star.
The reason this is a super-annoying problem is that I only ever listen to smart playlists that filter out songs with low star ratings. So now as soon as I click a song to rate it, if I happen to initially click less than a 3-star rating, it immediately disappears. After I'm finished cursing at the computer, I have to go find the song under my general Music Library and re-rate it so it will show back up in my "smart" playlists. Grr.
Incidentally, I was able to drag the stars as normal one time -- but other than that one instance, it has not worked at all since the most recent patch. Please, Apple, please please please fix this bug. It's causing me a serious headache.

UPDATE: This bug only affects iTunes configured to allow half-star ratings.
I normally have my ItunesPrefs.xml file configured to use half-stars, with this line:
<key>allow-half-stars</key>
<data>
dHJ1ZQ==
</data>
After testing removal of the line, the click-drag on whole stars works normally. So it appears this bug exists only for those who only use half stars.
Is there any hope of Apple fixing the click-drag problem when half-stars are enabled?

Can't click-drag-drop

I having sudden and crippling trouble when I try to click and drag files in the finder. When I click-drag a file icon, almost always (>95% of attempts) nothing happens (or the file attempts to open). Rarely the icon moves--but usually some random, uncontrolled, unexpected distance on the screen. Then I "lose" it as if I had released the mouse button. This has resulted in files being dropped indiscriminately in other folders, opening unintended applications, etc.
A related (?) problem: similar malfunctions arise when I try to click and drag-select text in a document.
This happens with equal frequency and severity on each of two hard drives, one running 10.3.9 and the other running 10.4.7.
I hope someone out there recognizes these symptoms and can prescribe action. Thanks.
upgraded g4 tower (1.4 GHz, 1 Gb memory)

update: changing the batteries on the wireless Logitech mouse slightly improved the situation--but not by much.
update 2: when I swap in an old corded one-button Apple mouse, the problem disappears, which places the blame squarely on the wireless mouse. I should have thought of doing this before posting in this forum, sorry.
Do wireless mice really lose it so abruptly like this? rats, I've gotten accustomed to those programmable buttons and the scroll wheel...
