Move tool layer context menu acting differently to "Auto Select"?? (using 12.0.4)

Okay,
This is weird. I've just updated my mac photoshop to 12.0.4 and I'm finding that, when using the Move Tool and right/command clicking on an object, the context menu that pops up isn't selecting the right layer?
To be clear, it is highlighting a layer (this is not the initial Photoshop 12.0 bug that drove everyone mad until the update) but it's the wrong one? Results vary depending on where I'm clicking, sometimes it's "close" to the layer I want, say the group it's nested within, other times it's a million miles off.
Yet when I switch on "Auto Select" it's pin-point accurate again? It's like the brain has dropped out of my context menu and it doesn't know what to select.
Obviously I can keep switching "Auto Select" on, but that's an annoying change to my work flow and will slow me down no end. Mores to the point, clearly something is up here.
I've updated to 12.0.4 on my home imac (on 10.5.8 OSX if that helps) but I've been using 12.0.3 (possibly 12.0.2) in the studio where I work and never noticed this issue, it's just now after updating to 12.0.4 at home i'm noticing this weirdness.
Anyone have any ideas, I'm at a loss.
Thanks in advance people,

To reset the tool I suggest click on it once and then look for something like this in the bottom half of your window:
In the above picture I have marked one section in red box.  You need to click on it to get the option to either reset the only tool you have clicked or to reset all the tools in the editor window.  Of course you have to be in Expert Mode to get this to work.
Good luck.

  • From the context menu I want to always search using Google dot CA, not dot COM

    I have already edited "keyword.URL" in about:config This didn't work for the context menu when you highlight a term to search and use the "Search Google for...
    It works for typing the search term directly into the URL address bar, but not the search from the context menu.

    I already had Google selected there. This still uses dot com for the resulting search page that opens, I wanted to have it open with google dot ca.
    I just found this add-on from [http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-engines.html?name=google.ca MyCroft Project]
    Part way down this page, number 5, is [http://mycroft.mozdev.org/jsreq.html Google.ca Search Bar] . Click the previous link to add this engine to the list of the FireFox search engines (on the drop down menu) did the trick, so I guess I solved my own problem. See attached menu capture. I hope this helps someone else, as it took me quite a while to find. It wasn't found in any of the standard Add-Ons you can find at the usual Mozilla multiple pages of add-ons

  • Open With Context Menu acting up

    It seems as if using Time machine allows old versions of applications to appear in the "open with" menu.
    Is that sensible?
    How can I turn it off?
    I don't really want to mistakenly open files in old versions of applications....

    Do you see it if you click Choose default program..., then expand the Other Programs section? 
    If not, can you Browse to the Photoshop.exe file on your hard disk and add it?

  • Context Menu removed by 9.5.4 Update

    I have Acrobat 9.0 Pro installed on a Windows 8 machine (Pro 64-bit) and noticed the context menu (combine files) was removed by the 9.5.4 update.  As a sanity check, I removed the program (needed adobe cleaner - did not appear on installed programs) and reinstalled from CD.  Context menu OK.  First auto update was to 9.2.0.  Conext menu OK.  Next auto update was to 9.5.4.  Context menu removed, and the Acrobat Elements directory also disappeared.

  • Context menu refresh issue in adf tree.

    Hi All,
    I am using jdeveloper 12.1.2.2.0.
    I have a programmatically generated tree in which I have added two buttons in the context menu using context menu facet.
    * I have selection listener in the tree and right click also selects the node.
    There are two issues regarding the context menu:
    1. If I right click the tree node, the context menu is showing only the two buttons I added and it is not showing the default expand/collapse, expand all/collapse all below and show as top options of context menu. Once I refresh the tree region doing some actions in the page, it is showing all the options.
    2. The buttons I added inside the context menu have disabled conditions and the trigger is given for the parent container "popup" which will be triggered by tree node selection. The problem is that whenever I right click the tree node, the popup is refreshed because of the trigger and the expand/collapse functions are not working. If I right the same node again the functions are working fine.
    How to resolve these issues?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Enhance Context Menu Attributes in WAD

    Hi All,
    Iam trying to enhance the context menu properties (like including a select filter value using MENU_SELECT_FILTER)of the Web Application in WAD but when enter this in the HTML and give a value to it in the Template Properties Object tag its not getting saved when i try to execute it the command is getting erased. could any one let me know whether iam including the attribut in between the right object tag. i would really appreciate where i need to correct.
    Thanks,
    Padma

    hi Padma,
    if you want to include select filter value in enhanced menu, the tag is like following
    <object>
             <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
             <param name="CMD" value="SET_PROPERTIES"/>
             <param name="TEMPLATE_ID" value=""/>
             <param name="MENU_SELECT_FILTER" value="E"/>
             TEMPLATE PROPERTIES
    </object>
    or you can set from web template properties, tab 'web item', section 'entries in context menu' -> 'select filter value', choose option 'enhanced menu'.
    if you want to add menu, sample tag
    <object> <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"> <param name="CMD" value="SET_PROPERTIES"> <param name="TEMPLATE_ID" value="ZGDCONTEXTMENU"> <param name="CMENU_LABEL_1" value="Search_Google"> <param name="CMENU_FUNCTION_1" value="myMenuProcessor"> <param name="CMENU_PARAMETER_1" value="1"> <param name="CMENU_CELL_TYPE_1" value="CHARACTERISTIC_VALUE"> <param name="CMENU_FILTER_1" value="0D_SOLD_TO"> <param name="CMENU_VISIBILITY_1" value="X"> <param name="CMENU_POSITION_1" value="BOTTOM"> <param name="CMENU_LABEL_2" value="Help@SAP"> <param name="CMENU_FUNCTION_2" value="myMenuProcessor"> <param name="CMENU_PARAMETER_2" value="2"> <param name="CMENU_CELL_TYPE_2" value=""> <param name="CMENU_FILTER_2" value=""> <param name="CMENU_VISIBILITY_2" value="X"> <param name="CMENU_POSITION_2" value="BOTTOM"> TEMPLATE PROPERTIES </object>
    hope this helps.

  • Customer defined Context Menu in WD ALV (ABAP)

    Hello,
    is it possible programming a customer defined context menu for a Web Dynpro ALV (in ABAP)?
    The functionality should be as following:
    Open Context menu with right mouse click, select something like "display details" and then detail data shall be displayed under the ALV.
    Exists a documentation for that?
    Thanks and regards,
    Josephine

    When you are defining your content attribute at the controller do not try to bring all the value attributes rather  provide the dictionary structure and make sure that cordinality is 0...n.
    Then as and when you change the dictionary structure you would be able to view the columns corresponding to that.
    Make sure that your select stmt is modified accordingly when you are binding it to the context.
    Cheers

  • Keyboard shortcut for flash context menu?

    What is the keyboard shortcut to open a context menu in Flash? Shift+F10 doesn't work.. Now I am trying to implement a key-down event handler like below:
    public function customKeyHandler(e:KeyboardEvent):void
        if (e.keyCode == flash.ui.Keyboard.F10 && e.shiftKey)
    But  this is not working as the F10 key in flash is reserved by the system and cannot be used in action script according to
    this  http://www.flexer.info/2009/12/20/flexflash-keyboard-key-codes/ .
    Does anyone know how to go about enabling context menu in Flash to be opened using keyboard (not mouse right click) ??

    please don't cross-post.

  • Web Application Context Menu - Problem posting comments

    Hi all,
    We are using SAP BW 7.0 (nw2004s) and the web interface to the reports (Web Applications). Some specific reports have to enable users to insert information about specific lines (comments about non-conformity issues). We were planning to insert documents (via context menu) integrated with portal KM.
    Using the Analyzer, we had no problem at all. All the information posted was saved in KM and we could read it using "RSA1 - Documents" and using the Analyzer. The commented value shows a flag that indicates the comment (a small "paper" picture). But when we try to use the Web Application to post this information, it is saved ok but it can only be read using "RSA1 - Documents" and not by the Web Application (it always shows no new documents) and there's no indication in the commented value at all. Has anyone seen something like that? We need to use the web interface. Using the Analyzer is not an option.
    Thanks in advance

    This is not the 2004s runtime in the 2004s system. The url you provided is the BW 3.x runtime in the 2004s system. Make sure on the client side in IE, you don't have and script blocking or popup blocking. For client side settings in IE, make sure your settings are specified as outlined in this blog:

  • Move tool issue : Command key + mouse dragging for moving any layer not working in PS CC

    I'm trying to move a layer within the document by holding command key and mouse dragging (mouse cursor not above the layer) is not working at all while using move tool. Suddenly this functionality stopped working. Now I have to place my cursor on layer to be move and drag with mouse. Also pressing command key changing auto select option from layer to group.
    Please help.

    Usually when a tool is not working as expected, a Reset of that tool might be the answer.
    Select the move tool in the toolbox,
    Go to the move tool icon on the top left of the screen (just above the toolbox in its' Option bar) and Ctrl-click on it to get the Reset menu.
    Click on Reset Tool.

  • Move tool "Show transform controls" with a type layer

    I just recently figured this "show transform controls" option with the Move Tool and while trying it out, I noticed it works differently with type layers than others.
    On regular bitmap layers it moves, resizes and rotates as supposed, but with type layer it jumps to "free transform" -function when trying to do anything with the transform controls. Causing the tool to drop and the anchor points change place (from text outline to text box?).
    Is this normal behaviour or is there something I don't get?

    Yes, being able to assign shortcuts to UI elements would be a major productivity jump in several cases! I tought that it
    was the advantage of the object-oriented programming, but I my coding abilities stop at "20 go to 10"...

  • Move Tool Auto-Select Group/Layer Toggle?

    Hi:
    I regularly use the Move Tool's Options palette Auto-Select Group functionality. I've not been able to find any reference to a keyboard shortcut for being able to temporarily toggle from auto-selecting Group to Layer. It seems to me that it would be a useful shortcut.
    As it is, the user must select "Layer" in the drop-down menu in the Options palette. It would be much quicker if a keyboard shortcut enabled this toggling.
    I've noticed thatwhile the Auto-Select option is set to Groupyou can hold the command key and right-click a layer (with the Move cursor) within a group and it will be selected in the Layer panel. At this point, you can move the selected layer using the arrow keys, but not with the Move cursor. It would be really slick if the Move tool cooperated and allowed moving the selected layer.
    Is there some shortcut or technique I'm missing that would approximate this functionality?
    -john

    You f#*kers have to take into consideration all use cases! A lot of people work with auto-select. How can you just change certain functionalities like this!
    This wasn't a problem in older CS4/ 5. This has a direct impact on my productivity! 
    Please fix this **** ASAP! I paid a butt load of money to get CC license so it can help me improve & work more efficiently not to deal with such ****** issues.

  • MW64,  cs6 bridge when I move or copy files the  context menu does not retain  recent folder destinations after I close the program

    W64,  cs6 bridge when I move or copy files the  context menu does not retain  recent folder destinations after I close the program. The context options that show are the ones from original install. The workspace I set up is also gone. I have every explorer box and cleaner checked to save recent. Had to disable nivedia desktop software because of weird display conflict. Have Dell pro support and they cannot fix. Any ideas to help me with this would be appreciated.

    Self-solved!  I work in column view in Finder so get there in a Finder window with folders and files appearing.
    There really is no problem, just select an ITEM in the COLUMN before right-clicking!
    The "old" context menu will appear. If you click in the white space in that column (or anywhere in a Finder window) and then place the cursor over a folder or file WITHOUT selecting it and right-click you will bring up the secondary context menu - Open, Copy, Duplicate, View Options and a greyed out Labels option. No "Move to Trash".
