Left Mouse Click Mimics Right Mouse Click in Toolbar

I posted this a few weeks ago and after deleting the Photoshop settings file the problem was resolved. But then the problem started happening again, but this time deleting the settings file doesn't fix the problem. Here's the recap:
I'm using Photoshop CS3 10.0.1 on Snow Leopard. When I single click (left click) on a tool in the tool palette it behaves like a right click and opens the flyouts. I changed my double click speed from fast all the way down to slow but the problem persists.
This doesn't make PS CS3 unusable, but it brings production down because to use a tool I have to click twice (first click opens the fly-out, and then I have to click again to select the tool I want from the tools available on the fly-out). I don't have this problem in any other Adobe CS3 application, only Photoshop.
Again, I deleted the Photoshop settings file and this worked once, then problem started again, and deleting the settings file doesn't make a difference now. Thanks for any help!

I'm at a loss. I've got my old iMac mouse (1 button), a real nice Logitech Laser 5300 wireless, my MacBook touchpad, and I've even used a MagicMouse with PS and have never seen this. Even when the batteries are going in my wireless, it doesn't do it.
How much RAM do you have allocated to PS?

Right hand and left hand click without mouse

Hi, i'm novice in using mac. I'm not to sure how to use right hand or left hand click without using mouse. For instance, how do i click download when i gonna download mp3 files? Pls help

Did you mean how to do a normal click and a right-click?
For normal click, you can either use the big button below the trackpad or you can tab the trackpad (Note that tabbing is disabled by default, you can enable it from System Preferences>Mouse&Keyboard).
To right click, tab trackpad with 2 fingers.
Hope this helps

Pressing mouse wheel (or Ctrl + Left Mouse Click) on navigation arrows does not open previous/next page in new tab anymore

I am using the new Firefox Developer Edition as a stand-alone on Ubuntu, so I can still use the "old" version, too.
Everything seems to be working fine, as in I am logged in and setup sync. But a few features I got very much used to are no longer working.
When I click on "About Firefox Developer Edition", it shows these details:
Firefox Developer Edition 36.0a2 (2014-12-09)
Firefox Developer Edition is up to date
You are currently on the aurora update channel.
In my "old" Firefox, I can:
1. Click with the mouse wheel on the navigation arrows to open the previous or next page in a new tab.
2. "right mouse click" on the navigation arrows to see the list of previously visited pages of the current tab, and the ones I visited after the page I am on, if I clicked "back" once or more times. I can then click the mouse wheel or "Ctrl + Left Mouse Button" to open any of the pages in the list in a new tab.
None of this works in the Developer Edition.

To clarify, the list of previously or later visited pages does still show up when I right click on the navigation arrows in the Developer Version, but I cannot open any of the links in the list in a new tab with the mouse wheel or "Ctrl + Left Mouse Click".

Left double click button on mouse is not working

My Left double click is not working on my mouse. I tried using a different mouse to test whether it was a hardware or software issue. I still have the same issue with a different mouse. I also get what looks like tiny barcodes to the top right of my mouse pointer. This is mind boggling to me. Is anyone else having this issue and what can I do to resolve it? Thanks in advance.

I also get what looks like tiny barcodes to the top right of my mouse pointer.
That is usually a software corruption problem.
Disk Utility ( Repair Disk ) is a good place to start.

Strange issue with left mouse clicking freezing other inputs on the Mac

I'm having a strange issue with my game. I'm using Flash CS6 and a Mac.
I've got a character that I move around the screen with keys, and you can click the left mouse button to make him throw something. The weird issue is when I click the left mouse button a lot, it seems to stop any other inputs from coming in, so for example, if I hold the right arrow key down while I'm doing a left clicking, and then let go of the right arrow key, the character will keep on moving right for a few seconds, until it finally get's the key_up event and stops.
Even not using any mouse event handlers, so the mouse is doing nothing in the game still causes the key inputs to be delayed just by left clicking, any ideas?
I've just tested the .swf on a PC and there was no problem, the mouse clicking was not causing any issues, so it's something peculiar to the Mac.

Hi,
This could be an issue if you were using Safari 5.1+ in 64bit mode. This should go away if you run Safari 5.1+ in 32 bit mode. You can change this by
1. Go to /Applications
2. Find Safari->RightClick->Get Info->Check 'Open in 32-bit mode' check box.
3. Relaunch Safari 5.1 again.
Thanks!

Mouse left double click question

Hello all...
Well, my son seems to have done something on his system...
When I log in under his user name, left double click doesn't seem to work. If there is a .pdf on the desktop, left double clicking won't open it. In order to get an application to run from finder, I have to right click & select open. When I log in under my user name, everything works great.
Question: What did he do & how do I un-do it??
Thanks.
<Edited by Moderator>

Try moving:
Your son's User name > Library > Preferences > com.apple.systempreferences.plist
to the desktop and restart the computer which will create a new default set. This will reset his system preferences. If this works you can get rid of the file but will have to reset the rest of his preferences. If it doesn't work you can put the file back into the place from which it came (overwrite the new one that will have been created and restart) to restore his settings and we'll have to try something else.
It also occurred to me that since I don't have a two button mouse and don't know anything about the kind you have, perhaps it has its own preferences settings which might not be affected by the general system ones. I tested the above by changing my mouse settings and checked which of my preferences files had changed.

Ctrl+left mouse click

Hello,
i am using a java-program for simulation of digital curcuits.
http://tams-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/applets/hades/html/
To duplicate objects you must push ctrl+left mouse button. In a macintosh this is a shortcut for a right mouseclick and the contextmenue.
My question: how can i turn off that there is the contextmenue when clicking left with ctrl-button?
Can someone help me?
Achim

Hello macjack,
i can also ctrl+left click in the finder and the kontextmenue opens. It does not depend on firefox. “hades" is a jar-archiv and is launched by the core service "jar launcher".
You can download hades via:
http://tams-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/applets/hades/archive/hades.zip
In hadescopying an object like an AND-Gate you have to hold down the ctrl-key and click with the left mouse button....

Left Mouse Click

Is it possible to detect when the left mouse button is clicked in Labview 8.0?
Thanks
Tim

If you do a search in the
"Help:Find Examples" using the keyword mouse you will find an example called Basic Input Demo.vi which shows how to get info from a number of input devices, including the mouse. In the lower part of the diagram, connected to the mouse refnum, is a vi calle Acquire Input Data.vi, with an output of "button 1" which is the left button pressed signal. On mine, with a Dell scroll mouse, button 2 is the right button.
The examples really is a gold mine of hints on how to use the various, sometimes obscure, features of LabVIEW and I recommend all users (not just new ones) to "prospect" . Some of the examples are a bit dated and could use an update, but frequently new ways to do things can be found in there.

Left Mouse Click Stopped Working

Today I plugged my Mac Book Pro into my HD tv via the DVI port. Everything worked fine and was able to use Front Row with my mac remote (awesome!). Later I disconnected the TV and closed the screen. Later, I opened the screen and found that my mouse does not work. Right clicking does but not left clicking. The trackpad works for scrolling, moving the mouse, etc. even two-finger clicking for right clicking works. Option clicking does not register a right-click. I have noticed also that nothing registers the mouse as hovering, links on websites do not change the cursor to a hand, the dock doesn't pop up the name of the program I am hovering over.
An external mouse has the exact same problem, left click works and right click doesn't. Restarting the computer does not help, although the mouse works properly at the login screen! The only way out of this is to connect my TV and disconnect it, then never shut the lid of my computer.
Help??

For what it is worth I was having this same problem. Very irritating. My left mouse button would suddenly appear to be stuck in the down position trapping the "drag" action over a specific window ... The type of window would not matter. Once it happened in a Terminal window, once in a Safari window.
I could still use the right mouse button and if I moved the mouse pointer in the Terminal or Safari app where the "drag" action was focused, it would highlight and un-highlight text as if I were in that window doing that actual task. The problem is that because the button was logically stuck in the "down" position, there was no way for my focus to change to another window. sigh
In my situation, the root cause appears to be another blue tooth device in my house. One room away, I had left my old mighty mouse in my laptop bag, it had turned on and had low batteries. The combination of this mouse joining with low batteries + it may have been pushed up against the side of the bag ... possibly pushing the left button ... seems to be the culprit.
So, my solution appears to be:
1. check for any other blue tooth mice and turn them off.
2. try disabling bluetooth
3. try replacing the batteries in your mice
Hope this helps, I'm glad I finally figured out a solution that works for me.

My left mouse click randomly quits on both my iMac mouse and my wacom tablet. How can I fix this?

Throughout the day the left mouse click quits. I can right click with my mouse but not left click. It happens on my wacom mouse, the pen mouse AND my iMac mouse that was bought with the computer. Restarting or completely shutting down the computer does not get it to reboot. It will come back randomly too. It's so odd and I do not have an explination why this is happening.
I've looked for software updates but can not find any on the apple site OR wacom site.
Please help?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

Left mouse click does not work

I have a mid-2010 Mac Book Pro 15", 8GB, Samsung 840 500GB SSD, w/ Mountain Lion.
About four to six months ago I started having issues where the left mouse button would stop working when I left the computer on unattended (but not asleep) for extended periods of time.
I have both a bluetooth keyboard and magic mouse connected most of the time, but when the issue occurs the button issue extends to both the external mouse and the on-system touch pad.
The issue started at about the same time that I took my system in to be repaired after the harddisk started failing. The system has since had the OS reloaded (twice) and the replacement harddisk has since been replaced with and SSD, so I if the original service is to blame, it is a peripheral issue (damage, firmware update, etc).
Here is where it gets really crazy... rebooting does NOT fix the issue. Shutting down and restarting does NOT fix the issue. Hard power off (holding the power until it hard-off's the system) then restarting DOES fix the issue.
The problem is reproducible, and since I've now demoted this laptop to being my television PC, it gets left on idle all the time (and hense the problem occurs all the time).
To the best of my knowledge I have all the latest patches and firmware loaded.
I suspect this is a low level firmware/hardware bug, but have no way to confirm and have had no luck with finding answers here or via the store.
Any assistance is appreciated!!

I can left mouse click any other program successfully. I can only left mouse click Firefox one time and then it refuses to work. I set the default mouse structure and pressed apply. It does me no good. There must be another cause for no other program has problems except for Firefox.

Why do i have to keep clicking my left mouse button to make the program work it just stops and if left click it starts working

Why do i have to keep clicking my left mouse button to make the program work it just stops and if left click it starts working. I'v only just started to use this program and It's no good at all if I go to a website and click a button I have to keep clicking it to finish what its doing.

hello jeffsprig, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once?

I can't use option "Open in Background Tab". Before was Command+Left mouse click

Hey,
Here:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Mouse%20shortcuts?s=Open+in+Background+Tab&as=s
is shown that '''Command+left mouse click''' is opening in new tab in background.
In Firefox 4 it doesn't work. Do you have any idea how to make it work?
Thanks.

It's called New Tab Homepage and it's here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/
It's OK and fixed my problem with 90%. Before New Tab which I wanted to open in Background, was opening just after main Tab. Now New Tabs are opening in Background, but at the end...
But it's OK - like Safari.
Thanks man!
