PS CS6 - Left Click Mouse Button Way Too Touchy

I'm looking for a solution to an annoying problem with Photoshop CS6. Here's the problem:
When holding down the left mouse button in the scroll bar area for just a fraction of a second too long, the scroll bar moves several positions. In the past, it wasn't this touchy. It's so touchy that it's impossible to CONSISTENTLY click once and make the scroll thingy move just one position. In previous versions, it works like a charm. Is there a way to adjust this mouse issue?
I use it on every image for cloning so that I can check one section at a time. For this reason, I've now gone back to CS5, but also because CS6 crashes on me and it sometimes gets stuck on Auto Saving files (possibly because they're big).

This is easily reproduced. Just click and hold on the scroll bar for the main image preview.
With Photoshop CS5, when you do this the scroll thumb moves once, then waits about half a second, then quickly repeats movements until it reaches where you have clicked.
With Photoshop CS6, it just immediately starts repeating, without the longer initial delay.
I don't know about Macs, but Photoshop CS5's behavior is Windows standard behavior. Photoshop CS6's behavior is wrong.
I have to ask (of any Adobe folks reading), why would scroll bar operation be changed in this way?

Everytime i press and hold my left click mouse button, it automically highlights everything from that point to the top of the page

Every time i press and hold my left click mouse button, it atomically highlights everything from that point to the top of the page. Also note, if i'm holding the left click on the scroll bar it goes back to the initial location even when i try to drag it up or down.
Opened up internet explorer and the problem does not occur there.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>

'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

Crystal ball time...
If it's the cursor you're talking about In Windows, try this:
Right-click the desktop.
Choose Personalize.
Click the Display link.
Change to a slightly different size. For example, if you're at 150%, try using the Custom sizing options link and setting to 149% or 151%
If you're seeing what Trevor is showing, without a delay, it's possible your left and right mouse buttons are swapped.

Screen Sharing & Spaces : Left/Right Mouse Button Issue

I am using the Spaces and Screen Sharing feature of OS X 10.5.1 on my MBP to connect to my Mac Mini that is currently running OS X 10.4.11. I am able to connect fine and access the Mini without issue. However, if I switch spaces on my MBP to do another activity, and then switch back to my Screen Sharing session with the Mini, I am finding that the left mouse button is acting as the right mouse button. The only way to correct the problem is to terminate the screen sharing session are restart it.
Has anyone else encountered this? Anyone know of a fix?
BTW, the same issue occurs when the Mini is running OX X 10.5.1 so I do not believe it is an issue using two different versions of OS X.

Yes, I have the exact same problem and its frustrating as I am not as familiar with OS/X as I am with Windows.
When I had similar problems with Windows I would shoot explorer.exe from the TaskManager, wait for it to die and then start a new explorer.exe process.
I tried doing the same with OS/X. I sniggled around with mouse clicks and keystrokes until I got the Force-Exit window, highlighted "Finder" and the button would change to "Relaunch".
Another time I tried to solve this was with combinations of either Control, Option or Command and the tilde key ~.
It is frustrating and I want to avoid reboots (why go the Microsoft way?).
Hope this helps (even after months).

Left clicking mouse acts as if I'm right clicking, and comes up with right click menu?

Hi I was wondering whether anyone could help me with this, I've had this problem for a week or so now and it's beginning to get frustrating.
I have a newish iMac, bought in January, and I've been having this problem the last week or so, where when I left click something, it acts as if I am right clicking it and it comes up with the right click menu. I has happened mostly while on the internet (chrome), but also when I'm just on my desktop, but less often.
It only happens every so often, and rights itself after a couple of minutes. What could be causing this, and how do I stop it?
This is my first ever post on here, so I do apologise if I have been vague or I have posted this question in the wrong section, I am also new to macs (well since January).
The mouse I am using is a dell wired mouse, a couple of years old, which I just plugged in without the need of installing software etc.
Many thanks for any help in advance.

Hello & welcome!
No worries, you did great for a 1st post, & this is generally a friendly place.
It sounds light it's the Mouse button from here, to test it...
Go to System Preferences > Mouse, change the Primary button to the Right button... does the Right button ever do that now as the left button?

Disable left-click on buttons

Hi guys!
I need to disable the left-click event on a button, but not the right-click one! I don't want to catch the mouseClickedEvent and then to find if it was the left or the right button to be pressed because left-clicking on a button makes it "appear pressed", so the user wonders "What's going wrong with this button??!!"
Any help?

Updates:
Looking at the source code of javax.swing.plaf.ButtonUI.BasicButtonUI I saw that there's a call to model.isPressed(). Following this clue I found the method javax.swing.AbstractButton.getModel() and ...
yes, this can be a way to intercept the event (I did not try), but it's not the answer to my question: I got a java.awt.Button :(
Why did I choose AWT???

How left-click "mouse" on MacBook Pro retina display?

A video I want to download to my rMBP says I need to left-click my mouse on a screen icon. How do I left-click a trackpad so it does the job? Do I need to change any settings or what?

System Preferences > Trackpad > Point & Click settings. Tap to Click and Secondary Click checkmarks.

Safari won't let me left click mouse and scroll down page

Safari won't let me left click on the mouse and scroll down the page, which I can do in Internet Explorer. That means I have to manually click on the scroll bar on the right side of the website.

Hopefully it's a cache issue not your Magic Mouse.
Quit Safari.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari.
This seems to be a "feature" of Safari
No.. it's not.

Cut and paste on left click mouse doesn't work & manage search engine choices non-existtant

I can no longer cut and paste from any website with the mouse. I have also lost the search engine choices (and the engine itself)
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== new version of firefox was updated to 3.6.6

Sounds like at least the Mouse is going out, open Sustem Preferences>Mouse, change the primary button to the right one, does the right button now work like he left one should?
Just thinking, it could jast as likely be the KB, maybe the control key stuck? Does the Mouse work if you disconnect the KB?

Left mouse button function

Hello,
I was wondering how to use the left mouse function with my Ipad 1. I use photoshop elements and need to be able to left click and drag items. Is there a way to do this on the Ipad?
Thanks

Demo wrote:
PhotoShop Elements 8 is available in the U.S. app store ....but the "left click" mouse action would be what a single tap is on the iPad. The left click using a mouse selects an item. If the apps talks about left clicking - whatever app you are really talking about - left click would not be a valid instruction on the iPad - IMO.
You must be looking at the Mac app store. There is no version of Elements available on the iOS app store in any region.

Left click stopped working all of the sudden. Help?

Earlier today, my MacBook Pro's trackpad button was working just fine. Now it's not. Whenver I press it, nothing happens. I can still move the cursor without a problem. I connected my Mighty Mouse to my MB Pro and everything in my MM works fine, except for the left click. Then I decided to shutdown my MB Pro and reboot it, hoping that it would get rid of the problem. After it turned back on, I realized that the left click is still not working, both on the trackpad and my MM. I even reseted my PRAM and that didn't fix my left click problem at all.
How do I get the left click working again on BOTH my trackpad and my MM?
Here are the specs for my MB Pro:
- MacBook Pro with 15 inch screen (Late 2006)
- 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
- Running on the latest version of Lion (10.7.5)
- 3 GB of RAM installed

I have this problem too! I just posted a question - how did you fix it or did it just go away? Mine computer is unuseable. Left click does some things but not all.
Here's my post
I can open MAIL but the MAIL menu doesn't appear at the top, and the LEFT click doesn't work properly, but right click does work! Command Q doesn't close the program, it's like it's half open. I can get rid of the page with the LEFT clicker (red button) and I can sort of select stuff in an email but it's grey. The buttons along the top work (Get mail, new message etc), but if I open a new message I can't do anything with it, there's no cursor.
Other programs the same (like Excel)
I restarted with the buton on the back, it'll work ok for a few minutes then not so ok. I managed to copy some files onto a hard disc and that all worked fine.
It seems to be all in the communication between the mouse/keyboard and the computer. Yes I have tried a wired mouse and keyboard, with the bluetooth one off, no help, same result.
This is not a result of new installation. There's no half-dead mouse hiding somewhere.
Help! Thanks

DoDragDrop oddity with Right Mouse Button

Hi all,
More experimentation - today with Drag & Drop.
Everything seems fine when performing this with the left mouse button, but when initiating this from WPF
with the right mouse button it appears to trigger the PreviewDrop event on the originating object.
I've tried intercepting QueryContinueDragHandler, which is fired and is having an Action set of Continue - all to no avail.
Much time with google shows no examples of people using the right mouse button with DoDragDrop, and a single query on this forum in September with someone having a similar problem. No replies to that thread - hopeing for more luck today!
So, has anyone successfully initiated a system based Drag/Drop using the right mouse button? In this case I'm working with a ListView, but I suspect that is fairly irrelevant.
Events occuring with Right Mouse Button depressed (and dragging a small way) are:
Call to: System.Windows.DragDrop.DoDragDrop
Callback: DropSource_ContinueDragEventHandler
Callback: DropTarget_PreviewDragEnter
Callback: DropSource_ContinueDragEventHandler
Callback: DropTarget_PreviewDrop
With the Left Mouse Button:
Call to: System.Windows.DragDrop.DoDragDrop
Callback: DropSource_ContinueDragEventHandler
Callback: DropTarget_PreviewDragEnter
Callback: DropSource_ContinueDragEventHandler
Callback: DropSource_ContinueDragEventHandler
Callback: DropSource_ContinueDragEventHandler
etc...
Anyone aware of any issues in this area?
Thanks,
Glyn
PS: The behaviour is different if dragging something from another application / desktop to a drop target, so it appears to be related to the originating side of things. ie, there is no problem when dragging an object from the desktop or similar.

Hmm - seem to have found the problem - it is related to the ContinueDragEventHandler!
Here is a suitable handler for dealing with Left & Right mouse button drags
You can activate it using:
DragDrop.AddQueryContinueDragHandler(this, QueryContinueDragHandler);
private void QueryContinueDragHandler(Object source, QueryContinueDragEventArgs e)
    e.Handled = true;
    // Check if we need to bail
    if (e.EscapePressed)
        e.Action = DragAction.Cancel;
        return;
    // Now, default to actually having dropped
    e.Action = DragAction.Drop;
    if ((e.KeyStates & DragDropKeyStates.LeftMouseButton) != DragDropKeyStates.None)
        // Still dragging with Left Mouse Button
        e.Action = DragAction.Continue;
    else if ((e.KeyStates & DragDropKeyStates.RightMouseButton) != DragDropKeyStates.None)
        // Still dragging with Right Mouse Button
        e.Action = DragAction.Continue;

[BUG FIXED, see "EDIT 2" at the end of my post]
I'm on Firefox 3.6.21, and I got this problem today after a Greasemonkey update (To version 0.9.10, apparently).
Disabling Greasemonkey solved the problem, and re-enabling it reproduced the problem (middle-clicking links to open in new tab did not work, merely highlighted the link).
I should also note that while Greasemonkey was enabled and the bug was affecting me, Ctrl+Click to open links in new tabs was also broken.
I hope this helps!
EDIT: It appears this is a known incompatibility/conflict bug between current versions of Greasemonkey and Tab Mix Plus. Read more here:
https://github.com/greasemonkey/greasemonkey/issues/1406
EDIT 2: GREASEMONKEY HAS NOW BEEN UPDATED with a workaround to fix the problem. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/versions/ to install the update manually. It hasn't been reviewed by Mozilla yet, so it won't be an automatic update for another day or two. All credit to "cannonfodder" below for noticing this; please mark his post as helpful!

Dv7 2112tx mouse button.

Left hand mouse button located below the touch pad is mechanically loose and does not always "click". When it is correctly positioned, it still operates the switch on the mother board so this is purely a mechanical problem.
With top cover/wrist rest removed and viewed from the under-side, there does not appear to be any provision for accessing the button assembly. What action is required ?

Hey GregFS,
This is a great question and I wish I had better news for you. It looks like on this model the touchpad is a part of the whole top cover. I could not find any directions to access the button assembly.
Part# 516299-001 $79.42 -- Color: White, with fingerprint reader board (probably not necessary in your case because you can just take the old one off of the old top cover, as long as it is still functional)
Part# 516360-001 $59.57 -- Color: White, without fingerprint reader
Part# 519267-001 -- Color: Black, with fingerprint reader
Part# 519268-001 -- Color: Black, without fingerprint reader
I looked at the HP Parts Store (800-227-8164) and at some third party websites. Sometimes you can find a part cheaper at a third party site but it looks like the HP Parts Store may be the best bet.
If anyone else has any suggestions for accessing the button assembly, please share!
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions

Left click button not working on mouse

Using an HP Pavillion g series notebook with windows 7 and all of a sudden my HP wireless mouse left click button doesn't work. checked to see if it was clean, changed the battery too. Right click buttonis working as left click now. Driver software is upto date. Only 2 years old with light use. What's up?

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.
