Hand cursor (not arrow cursor) in zoom tool

When I use the zoom tool (and most other tools) in Photoshop CS5, I only have a hand-shaped cursor, not an arrow cursor, and I can't do anything with it. How do I get the arrow cursor back?

You should have a magnifying glass as the cursor if you're using the zoom tool, not the arrow. I'm wondering if you don't have an issue with your spacebar on your keyboard, as that activates the hand tool. Can you try a different keyboard?

Why's My Cursor a Zoom Tool In Fit Size?

Why did my cursor turn into a zoom tool with a photo sized to Fit; and how can I make it go back to a normal arrow?
It is only happening when the photo is sized to Fit. At other sizes, the cursor is normal. This just started after I finished using the Adjustment Brush. I had used Cntrl + to zoom a photo while using the Adjustment Brush.

Your system must be quite different from mine. When I am in the "fit" mode in the develop module my cursor has always been the zoom cursor. And to zoom or reposition while the adjustment brush is active I have always pressed the space bar. So I don't know why yours has changed.

Zoom tool acting crazy (Photoshop CC 2014)

Hello, all. I'm starting to go crazy here. Whenever I use the Zoom tool in Photoshop CC 2014, it zooms in continuously and doesn't stop zooming until it reaches an absurdly zoomed-in level (like 3200%). And when I try to zoom out, the reverse happens, and zooms out all the way to a tiny size. I the past I was able to zoom in standard increments of 25%, 33.3%, 50%, 66.7%, etc. but now I can't hit any of those numbers.
I made this video of my screen to show you exactly what's happening: Photoshop zoom error on Vimeo
One thing to note is that the zoom tool works properly when I use my keyboard shortcuts (Command and + or - keys) but when I use the mouse or laptop trackpad it goes haywire.
Thanks for any help!

Adobe Photoshop CC 2014.2.1 Release
Selecting An Area With The Zoom Tool
This feature is known as Scrubby Zoom. By default, the option is enabled, but you can turn it off by unchecking it in the Options Bar (when the Zoom Tool is selected):
Unchecking the Scrubby Zoom option.
With Scrubby Zoom disabled, the Zoom Tool behaves much like Photoshop’s Rectangular Marquee Tool. Simply click and drag out a selection box around the area you want to zoom in on.

Hand cursor not showing on Drag and Drop interaction Submit button

Does anyone know why the hand cursor doesn't show when I hover over the submit button on a drag and drop interaction slide created in CP7 and published as HTML5?
Many thanks.

Thanks @rickhumpries86. What I did was I narrowed the problem down to a text animation. I only left 2 elements on the stage:
1) A button
2) A text animation (a plus sign)
In this first picture of the stage, the problem exists. The frame of the + is indicated but is not overlapping the button.
How I corrected it was I had to move the text animation up about 9 times (Ctrl + up arrow) to the position indicated in this next screen shot. Then there was no interference from the + text animation. For the animation I used the Disperse effect. To get the + sign that large, I used Arial size 72 font. So I'm not sure if this is considered a bug, or there is something else that I'm not understanding about the interaction of the text animation and its affect on the stage to other elements.

No matter what tool I choose, all I get is a hand cursor

I recently installed Photoshop CS4 and didn't have any problems with the installation. However, quite frequently the program gets into a mode where no matter what tool I choose all I get is a hand cursor. I've tried logging off to correct the problem, but that doesn't work. Rebooting the computer is normally sufficient. I haven't determined any specific actions that always cause this circumstance to arise. Does anyone have any ideas on what my problme might be?
BTW, I'm running on Windows XP Pro, 32-bit, with 3.5 GB of memory and a 2GHz dual-core cpu.
Thanks.

This is my expereince as well. I've never seen the problem in any other application and I've been using Photoshop for over 15 years, and this is the first version that I've encountered this problem. And like you, when I switch to any other program the mouse and keyboard work just fine, so it is not a physical keyboard problem.
But, if hitting the space bar a few times solves the problem, then I'm happy for now.
Thanks all.

Hand Cursor Not Showing for Smartshape Button

Hi - I'm using Cp7 and want to have a smartshape, that contains a user variable (as the text), as a button which displays the hand cursor when you roll your mouse over it.
When I turn the 'show hand cursor' option on this works fine when the smartshape has no text in it...but as soon as I insert the variable string the hand cursor no longer shows when I preview the project.
Is this a bug or is there something I'm not doing right...?
Thanks
Rick

Customized buttons not showing hand cursor

I have button and buttonbar components in my app. I have
applied new skins to them using CSS. However, they do not show the
hand cursor, so that it obvious to the user that they are, in fact,
buttons.
For example:
<mx:Button click="goLink()" id="goBtn" width="18"
height="19" styleName="customButton" mouseEnabled="true" />
.customButton {
color: #FFFFFF;
text-roll-over-color: #FFFFBB;
text-selected-color: #9999FF;
disabled-color: #333333;
up-skin: Embed(source="assets/btn_arrow.png");
over-skin: Embed(source="assets/btn_arrow.png");
down-skin: Embed(source="assets/btn_arrow.png");
disabled-skin: Embed(source="assets/btn_arrow.png");
What happened?

I think for many components you also need to set
mouseChildren="false" and
useHandCursor="true"

Hand cursor not showing for smartshape buttons

I have some smart shape buttons for which "Hand cursor" is checked, but the output does not show the hand cursor. What are my troubleshooting steps for this?

Hi Nimmy,
I am having this problem too. Here's the situation:
Smart shape used as button. This smart shape button is top item in the timeline (no objects on top). Visible in output is checked. Hand curser box is selected. No drag and drop used in the project. Published to SWF, not publishing as scaleable content. Force republish selected. I've recreated the smart shape button from scratch several times.
The smart shape button works when published but NO hand curser is visible.
I have discovered the following:
When Master Slide Objects On Top is checked, the hand curser is not visible.
When Master Slide Objects On Top is NOT checked, the hand curser is visible.
Because of the graphic design, I need Master Slide Objects On Top to be checked. The Master Slide in the area of the button is transparent.
I believe this used to work in Captivate 6 but... no longer have Captivate 6 license (long story) :-( and cannot verify.
Can we get this fixed so that the Master Slide Objects on Top does not interfere with hand curser visibility?

Hand cursor not displayed when mouse is over JEditorPane hyperlinks in 1.5

Java version 1.5 does not show a hand cursor when the user mouses over a hyperlink within a JEditorPane, which it did in version 1.4.x.
Create a new JEditorPane. Then set the content type (setContentType) as "text/html". Then use setText to add an html hyperlink. When the user mouses over the hyperlink, the cursor remains a pointer cursor. The cursor used to change into a hand cursor symbolizing a hyperlink.
p.s.) The hyperlink still works, the cursor just doesn't change.
Has anyone noticed this? Has it been reported as a bug? Is there a workaround?
Thanks for any/all help!

I have the same problem which I cannot seem to solve. I have a JEditorPane in a JDialog, not a JFrame, and I do not get a Hand cursor over the link. If I use a JFrame, I get the hand cursor.
Any ideas? I tried with setting the cursor by hand using
pane.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR)); in the ENTERED-part of a slightly more advanced hyperlink listener (gets pane in constructor). But that did not help either.
Here is the code. Check out the difference between JDialog and JFrame.
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.border.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class HyperLink extends JDialog
     public static void main(String[] args)
          HyperLink h = new HyperLink();
          h.setVisible(true);
     public HyperLink()
          Container cp = getContentPane();
          JEditorPane p = new JEditorPane("text/html",
                              "<html><body><a href='http://www.google.com'>Google</a></body></html>");
          p.addHyperlinkListener(new HyperlinkListener() {
               public void hyperlinkUpdate(final HyperlinkEvent he) {
                   HyperlinkEvent.EventType type = he.getEventType();
                   if (type == HyperlinkEvent.EventType.ENTERED) {
                    System.err.println("entered");
                   else if (type == HyperlinkEvent.EventType.EXITED) {
                    System.err.println("Exited");
                   else if (type == HyperlinkEvent.EventType.ACTIVATED) {
                    System.err.println("Now going to " + he.getURL());
          p.setEditable(false);
          cp.add( p );
          pack();

How to avoid the hand cursor on non navigating charts

I have a requirement from the user to avoid the hand cursor when the charts are non navigating.
Is there any way to avoid the hand cursor.?
When we move the mouse over the bar chart, the pointer cursor gets changed to hand cursor. But there is no navigation in the charts that i'm showing.
The presence of hand cursor in bar charts creates confusion to the end user when there is no navigation in charts.
It always misleads end users and they ask if the chart is complete or not since there is no navigation.
So i would like to avoid it, but how can i avoid it.??

You need not use the zoom code, you could replace it by something else

Normal cursor interferes with tool cursor

My normal arrow-shaped cursor does not disappear when I use tool brushes. How do I get rid of the cursor?

Hi, Troy. Welcome to the Discussions.
1. I am unable to reproduce the behavior you describe. If you move the mouse pointer even slightly after the Application Switcher appears above it, it will jump to the icon immediately below the pointer, but it does not affect the use of Tab in the Switcher.
2. Are you using a third-party mouse? If so, and you are using a third-party mouse and installed manufacturer-provided software in order to customize its functions, check the manufacturer's Web site for updates.
3. An errant Startup or Login Item — such as some third-party interface modification you may have installed — maybe the cause. My "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ can help you pin that down if such an item is causing the problem.
Good luck!

My "little hand" cursor disappeared

This morning the "little hand" cursor disappeared. It used to appear over links, now all I have is that kind of capital I shaped thingy. It is an arrow until I go over a link or choice to select. Whats up?

Hi there...thanks for the reply but that didn't work. I still have the weird blinkie hand/arrow cursor. And thanks, Alan, for finding my original question; not sure why it wasn't showing up in my account.

Open and closed hand cursors

I have a drag image application and I wanted to use the open and closed hand cursors to move the image about. It seems there is no easy way of accessing these in Java. After searching for cursor names etc.. I decided to hard code the cursors from the .gif image. Also I didn't want the .GIFs as files as this adds to loading problems so I ended up using arrays of pixels that took a little while to enter.
I'm giving you the code if you ever need to use it as I typed it in and wouldn't want anyone else to have to do the same.

               setCursor(openhandCursor);you need to define openhandCursor and closedhandCursor with your other cursor definitions (I made them default to start with) and then just use setcursor as normal. There must be an easier way to do this!

Mousing-over links doesn't change to a hand cursor

I just upgraded to 3.6.15 after FF installed 3.6.14, but now when I mouseover links, I do not get the hand cursor to indicate it's a link. Any solutions?

Issue when Kinect Hand Cursor Leaves the Application Screen

Hi Everyone
i have an application in v2. i have implemented the hand cursor and when the cursor leaves the application or when the user stop using hands the sensor takes time to detect the sensor back and sometimes it does not come back.
We updated the VGA Driver to the latest and still we have an issue. we followed the standard by assigning the Kinect to the Kinect region as we did in V1 sdk 1.8.
Our Kinect instance is in a Static Variable so we ca reuse it in other Windows that we created below is my MainPage
this.InitializeComponent();
Generics.Generics.FullScreen(this);
// only one sensor is currently supported
KinectGeneric.kinectSensor = KinectSensor.GetDefault();
// open the sensor
KinectGeneric.kinectSensor.Open();
// set IsAvailableChanged event notifier
KinectGeneric.kinectSensor.IsAvailableChanged += Sensor_IsAvailableChanged;
// set the status text
this.Status.Content = KinectGeneric.kinectSensor.IsAvailable ? Properties.Resources.RunningStatusText
: Properties.Resources.NoSensorStatusText;
// open the reader for the body frames
this.bodyFrameReader = KinectGeneric.kinectSensor.BodyFrameSource.OpenReader();
// set the BodyFramedArrived event notifier
this.bodyFrameReader.FrameArrived += bodyFrameReader_FrameArrived;
// initialize the BodyViewer object for displaying tracked bodies in the UI
this.kinectBodyView = new KinectBodyView(KinectGeneric.kinectSensor);
// initialize the gesture detection objects for our gestures
// KinectGeneric.gestureDetectorList = new List<GestureDetector>();
//set the Region
KinectRegion.SetKinectRegion(this, kinectRegion);
kinectRegion.KinectSensor = KinectGeneric.kinectSensor;
App app = ((App)Application.Current);
app.KinectRegion = kinectRegion;
and we have a viewbox that covers the grid and the Kinect region as detected below
<Viewbox Margin="0,0,-0.2,0" VerticalAlignment="Top">
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Height="1367">
<k:KinectRegion x:Name="kinectRegion" Margin="0,138,-8.4,10">
we use the view box to adjust our UI automatically on different sizes of the screen. We also have Navigation services which is inside the above grid as depicted below
<DockPanel Margin="551,-57,668,177">
<Frame x:Name="_home" NavigationUIVisibility="Hidden" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Source="Default.xaml" Width="1460" Margin="0,12,0,0" />
</DockPanel>
On all other Pages that get navigated to, we dont have Kinect Region because it will inherit from the Frame Pages else we get ourselves with two hand cursors.
If there is anything i have missed please point it out for me
Thanks

Hi Carmine
Thanks for the reply
you said "we dont have Kinect Region because" how does this differ from how we implement
multi-pages in Controls-Basics? Are you creating new windows?
Yes you are right it does not Differ, we used this Navigation Part in our V1 Application and the it worked nicely. i have pages not window and i just navigate to those pages , because they are hosted in the Frame when the hand is active it can move from
the Parent window and the Child .
we have borrowed the client the sensor i cant actually reproduce that until they finish testing and we can attend to the issue, they just called us and explained, when i was there i was able to do it nicely i think they just need to put the sensor in the
right place.
Carmine if i can just squeeze this other question ,
In V1 from SDK 1.7 ,1.8 we had the push to press that was in the Toolkit which showed a nice purple looking hand , why was that not added in 2.0 SDK ?
Thanks
