Mild annoyance: selecting a tool in the toolbar auto-pops open the hidden tools

So, I think I must have hit a shortcut that changed this behavior, because it started happening all of a sudden about a week ago. But I can't find a preference to turn this off. When I select a tool in the toolbar, the hidden tools automatically pop up.
Again, it's not the biggest deal in the world, but it's kind of annoying. Anyone know how to make this stop?

Hello fewdio,
I myself was experiencing this issue, and even posted a thread on this later on today.
My thread has been solved and thought I would swing by your thread so hopefully it would help you out too. If you want, you can check out my thread here (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4151748#4151748) for the answer, and maybe the one that helped me out might help you too, or there are alternative answers that individuals have left which might be what your looking for.
Good luck!
Martin.

    I recently upgraded our iMac to Yosemite OS and now have a problem with Photoshop Elements 11:  the move tool selects an image or text layer, but then I try to drag the selection somewhere else on the page and it snaps back to the original location, however the arrows will move it OK.  Also I cannot drag the selection to another photo in the photo bin as before.

  • Photoshop Touch crashes after selecting "Wrap" tool for the second time

    As title says, when selecting "wrap" tool for the second time, Photoshop Touch crashes. It doesn't matter which images and even after reboot and clearing all the RAM, it constantly crashes only when selected for the second time. I'm using this on Galaxy Note 2 so it really shouldn't have issues with RAM or Processing power. I'm not quite sure about other tools but it should be looked into and hopefully more stable version will be release soon!
    Thank you

    Hi,
    We just released an update that should take care of that issue.

    For the sake of clarity and to save people time, Todd is asking about the behaviour of the Patch tool when using it to repair the area next to the young lad's head.  Todd gets a blurred dark tone pretty much regardless of the options he uses.
    IMO that's what I would expect to happen because of the close proximity of the other image elements i.e. the lad's neck and the strong lines of his shirt.  I would not choose to use the Patch tool in this situation.  Content Aware Fill makes a better stab at it.

  • Drag Select Inside Points With The Direct Selection Tool While Above An Object?

    I'm trying to modify a path in InDesign CS5 (Fig. 2), as it is now I have to select each point individually. Becasue while you're zoomed in (Fig. 1), you can't drag and select the points. When you attempt to do that, you end up dragging the whole image.
    Is there a way to drag select inside points with the direct selection tool while your directly above the image with the paths you want to select?
    Fig. 1
    Fig. 2

    FAIL #1:
    No. When you copy paste the Cliiping Path [NOT the frame] into Illustrator, then alter the path and paste back into Indesign, it pastes it back as a FRAME, NOT a CLIPPING PATH.
    FAIL #2:
    Why do people comment on this stuff without first testing what they are suggesting?
    What you suggested doesn't work or even make sense.
    Apprently in InDesign, you can't have a CLIPPING PATH without an IMAGE there to begin with. When a FRAME OBJECT contains an IMAGE the option to convert the object to an UNNASSIGNED OBJECT is greyed-out, as in UNSELECTABLE, as in NOT POSSIBLE, which is another way of saying IMPOSSIBLE, which in most circles pertains to MAJOR FAILAGE.
    When you CUT [hold command then press X] the CLIPPING PATH, from the FRAME/OBJECT you can then unassign the object, but when you paste the CLIPPING PATH back in, it invariably pastes the IMAGE along with the CLIPPING PATH, and once again the UNASSIGNED OBJECT is simply an ordinary frame with an image, and thus NO LONGER AN UNASSIGNED FRAME.
    People like you make life harder dude, seriously.
    Again, like some of the folks above, you're confusing a FRAME PATH [that you can alter and create with the pen tool as well] with a CLIPPING PATH. They are NOT the same thing. 
    Know the difference between the two before you feel inclined to respond.
    My kingdom for someone out there with some merit and sense of accountability.
    It's like, where do you people work? Are you serious? SMH.

  • How do I stop the hidden tools from being shown when I select a tool?

    Every time I wish to select a tool in Photoshop CS6, the hidden tools beneath that tool always show.  Whether I do this with my mouse, or the graphics tablet, the same issue occurs.  I'm certain that one click should select the visible tool, and that holding down the cursor should display the hidden tools. Is there a way to make certain that the hidden tools stay hidden? I'm using Mac OS X Mavericks, if that helps.

    The ONLY way I can get that behavior from a single click is to hold the Ctrl key.
    When you hover over a tool preset, do you see the menu added to the cursor?

  • Read Mail button on the toolbar doesn't open my default mail program

    I've just reinstalled Firefox 17.0.1 (and everything else) following a crash. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium, with Windows Mail (not Live Mail) set as the default email program and I've added a Read Mail button to the Firefox toolbar: all this is exactly as it was before the crash. Windows Mail is selected in Tools/Options/Applications/mailto, and also runs perfectly from its desktop icon.
    However, clicking on Read Mail doesn't open Windows Mail as it used to.
    I get the message "The application could not be found, please use Toolbar Buttons's options window to correct this". I'm not clear on what it is I'm being directed to do. What and where is the "Toolbar Buttons's options window"?
    Many thanks.

    That did it. Thanks very much indeed.

  • Why does Flash CS5 crash when I try to select a tool?

    I am using Flash CS5 on Mac OSX (version 10.6.8). It's the first time I've used Flash but am following a basic tutorial to create a christmas card with a falling snow effect. I've managed to import a picture as a background and add a layer on top which I planned to add the snow onto.
    When I try to select any tool from the toolbar, Flash crashes with no explanation. Has anyone else had the same problem? Any ideas how to fix?
    Thanks,

    Is the product up to date (Help->Update)? If so, is reinstalling a possibility?
    It doesn't appear to be a new issue but in that post the user suggested creating a new user (to clear system prefs). Can you try that?

  • Select Object tool not working

    Newbie here. I used the Select Object tool once on a document.
    Clicked on the tool on the toolbar.
    Clicked once on the page.
    A blue box appeared.
    Then I double-clocked to edit.
    Well. Since then, no amount of clicking is getting the blue box to appear.
    Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
    I'm trying to remove one line of text. Any better way, perhaps?
    Thanks.

    Are you trying to select graphics, text, or something else. If you select graphics, then typically a double click with bring up the default editor to edit that graphic. It may be that you do not have the editor specified or on your system.
    For text, use the text touchup tool.

  • Photoshop CC tool options popup appears when selecting a tool

    I am using Photoshop CC 2014 on my MacBook Pro (2009 - 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5). I have used Photoshop CC before on a different MacBook Pro (2011) from work, but on my own Mac, the tool bar on the left behaves slightly differently.
    When I click on a tool, the tool options popup appears and stays until I click on something else or select an option, before I can even select another tool. Please see the attached screen snip.
    I am used to it being that I just click on it once to select a tool, without activating the tool options popup. And if I want to see other options that come with that tool, I click and hold to bring up the popup.
    It's kind of annoying and slows me down. I looked everywhere, including preferences, to find a way to turn it off. I have not found it.
    Has anyone experienced this? Am I crazy?

    Thanks Billy, Would you be able to suggest any other faster method to load the data into table. Thanks,
    As Mark responded - it all depends on the actual data to load, structure and source/origin. On my busiest database, I am loading on average 30,000 rows every second from data in external files.
    However, the data structures are just that - structured. Logical.
    Having a data structure with 100's of fields (columns in a SQL table), raise all kinds of questions about how sane that structure is, and what impact it will have on a physical data model implementation.
    There is a gross misunderstanding by many when it comes to performance and scalability. The prime factor that determines performance is not how well you code, what tools/language you use, the h/w your c ode runs on, or anything like that. The prime factor that determines perform is the design of the data model - as it determines the complexity/ease to use the data model, and the amount of I/O (the slowest of all db operations) needed to effectively use the data model.

  • I would select a link from the drop down on the address bar but the page would not open. I would select it again but the page does not open. I could only reach website by selecting google on most visited list.

    After updating AVG anti-virus, I encountered a problem on Firefox. I would select a link from the drop down on the address bar but the page would not open after clicking on it. I would select it again, even double click, but the page does not open. I could only reach website by selecting google or yahoo from my dropdown on the most visited list and then click the website that I want to visit. I would like to do this in one step by just selecting a link from my history on the address bar and select a link instead of going to google and then writing the page I want to visit. What could be the problem? When going to the address bar to select a link to open, why does the site not open? Any help would be appreciated.
