Why is my mouse (wacom pen) highlighting everything?

Not sure what is going on the mouse wants to click/highlight everything, any ideas how I can stop it as there is nothing online apart form pc users saying shift escape, which does not work. I notice someone asked this question years ago but no replies!

Thanks forgetting back to me. Unfortunately it was turned off-so no cigar I'm afraid. But I never knew that was there-cool voice (open to pod doors Hal).
It seems to be an intermittent fault, when it gets real bad, I pull the mains lead out, seems to work! This is a precursor to throwing it in the bin.

  • How to I get my mouse to not highlight everything?

    Everytime I move my mouse over some page (internet, word document, ANYTHING), the passage will be highlighted. I am simply trying to navigate around the screen and it makes moving my mouse very troublesome. What am I doing wrong?

    if you are using a magic mouse, disable the side to side gesture. >system preferences>mouse>more gestures>uncheck swipe between pages.

  • Why is Photoshop CS6 extremely slow with the brush tool using Wacom pen?

    Could my wacom tablet be the issue?  The psd processor spins not stop until I pick up the wacom mouse and click on an adjacent layer then back to the layer I was working on.  Then the wacom pen  work with the brush tool.  This seems to happen when every time I  pick up the pen and go back to the brush  tool.

    First, sorry it took so long to reply.  Have been a bit swamped.  What I mean by the psd processor, is the balls that rotate kind of like the SBDO when the app is executing a paint stroke.  So I tried your suggestion, mad a new file 7w x 5d at 72pi, set the brush to 25px at 100% hardness and made a stroke with the wacom pen.  It worked fine.  The issue is working in large files say around letter size at 300dpi or large format graphics for trade shows at 150dpi.  These files can range anywhere from 6ft x 8ft high  to 16ft w x 10 ft h for an example.  So painting in a channel mask or retouching using the brush tool in airbrush mode is painfully slow.  I've found that while this little psd icon is spinning, if I take the wacom mouse, click on an adjacent layer then go back to the layer I was working on and resume with the airbrush, the problem subsides.  It seems this spinning thing happens when I initially start using the brush on a layer or layer mask.  Do you get what I'm trying to explain?

  • 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.

  • Bridge stops responding to Wacom pen clicks in Windows 8

    When I use Adobe Bridge with the Wacom pen (Intuos 5) the first one or two clicks work but then the program stops responding to any pen clicks until I move the mouse or touch the touchpad, and then all the unresponsive clicks are played back at once. This problem first appeared with Bridge in CS5. I then upgraded to CS6 hoping it would go away, but it didn't. And now I've downloaded the new CC version of Bridge and it does the same thing. The pen works erratically in other Adobe programs as well but the malfunction is most obvious and happens consistently in Bridge. All Microsoft programs (Office 2010, Outlook, Internet Explorer, and Windows 8 itself) work fine with the Wacom pen.
    I've searched the Adobe and Wacom support forums and this problem does not appear to be affecting anyone else; although, I did find these two posts by people with similar problems:

    I've talked to Wacom tech support and tried all of the troubleshooting steps they could think of, including going back to earlier versions of the Intuos driver. They released a new Windows 8 driver yesterday (6.36) but it did not solve my problem.
    Since I use a Logitech mouse, I've tried updating, going back to earlier versions, and completely uninstalling the Logitech drivers but the problem did not go away. I've also uninstalled, cleaned settings, and reinstalled the Adobe apps several times with no change.
    This morning I tried disabling all non-Microsoft services and all non-essential startup programs on reboot but it made no difference.
    One clue I've noticed that might help Adobe engineers figure this mystery out is that when I click on the little triangles to expand the metadata in the panel (with my first pen click as that's the only one which registers) they will highlight but not rotate and the panel never expands (see pictures below). This is a unique behavior which I can not replicate with my mouse. If someone can identify what would make the triangles respond in this way we might be onto what message the program is getting when I click with the pen.

    Shut down all unnecessary programs running in the background.  Does Win 8 still use the ctrl alt delete for the Task Manager?
    I did as you suggested and tried shutting down other running programs with Task Manager (Ctrl-Shift-Tab in Windows 8) but nothing changed in Bridge's response to pen clicks.
    Then I used msconfig to turn off all non-essential system services and programs by doing what it calls a "Diagnostic Startup". Upon reboot only the minumal Windows drivers and services were running. Not even the Wacom driver was loaded, although the pen still worked using the Microsoft pen driver. I oppened Bridge, and guess what, exact same problem. One click and then the program locks up. And this is with absolutely nothing else running, no sound, no network, no other programs, and only the minimal set of Microsoft drivers.
    So I figure that the only thing that's left for me to investigate is the Microsoft "Pen and Touch" settings in Control Panel. I open that and see three pen actions: Single-tap, Double-tap and a thing called "Press and hold" which is turned off. I turn it on and test Bridge. Bingo! it works. Pen clicks now register normally.
    If I hold the pen down for a second, however, a right click is triggered. This is what "Press and hold" is supposed to do. But if I go back to Control Panel and turn "Press and hold" off, then Bridge locks up on normal pen clicks. It's like Bridge is interpreting every click as a click-and-hold but is unable to follow thorugh if the setting is turned off in the "Pen and Touch" control panel.
    I've found no other program on my computer that does this but Bridge, and all version of Bridge from CS5 through CC do the exact same thing. A very strange bug indeed! But now I have a solution: turn on "Press and hold" in the "Pen and Touch" applet in Windows 8 Control Panel.

  • How to disable Wacom pen tilt in CS5?

    Hello all,
    Does anyone know where the option is to turn off / disable the pen tilt in Photoshop?  Sometimes I want it active and sometimes I don't.  I have Photoshop CS5 and an Intuos4.  I have tried searching the forums and the web but I can't seem to find any information on doing this.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi
    I know this is a fairly old thread, but did you find a solution for this? It's driving me nuts too. I've found that if the pen is kept away from our Intuous4 for several minutes, and all the tilt settings are switched off, it works fine when the pen is returned. Swap the pen over to eraser and then back to normal way up and the tilt starts being detected. I've looked through all the Wacom & PS settings and everything to do with tilt is disabled, in complete conflict with what I can see on screen when I'm drawing.
    Here's a quick image to demonstrate what I'm experiencing:
    The first line was using the mouse, the second line was done with the wacom pen (after it had been well away from the tablet for several minutes). The brush animation simply showed pressure at this point. I turned the pen over, used the eraser then swapped back and drew the third line, but this time the animation showed lots of tilt (as shown in the left panel), and you can see the brush effect is very different.
    Any help muchly appreciated

  • Wacom pen won't work with keyboard's USB?

    My old Wacom pen Graphire was working well with my old iMAC 333 OS 9.2.2(five colour iMAC) USB 1.0 connector; but when I plug it into my new iMac G5 keyboard's USB(also 1.0), it doesn't recognize it, I already downloaded the latest Wacom driver for OS X, and my new iMac is using OS 10.4.3., I don't want to waste the keyboard's USB, does anyone help me? Thanks a lot!

    How bizarre. I am wondering why all my new keyboards (I have three of the new design) will not let me use either keypen, microsoft mouse (I needed another button and the Mighty Mouse had not been released or Wacom on the rear USB ports. The same goes with my Powerbook. I cannot connect to the keyboard USBs (seperate keyboard) but can connect on the USB 2.0s on the laptop.
    There is a solution... the bluetooth wireless Wacom. No wires, no fuss

  • Scroll bar on this site awkward to use with mouse or pen pad?

    I am quite used to using a Wacom pen to drag the blue bubble on most mac windows to scroll down to the part of the page I want to be on.
    WHy has this site reverted to what I see as a DOS SHELL scroll bar - which causes the pages to flip around up and down.
    Along with the layout for extra wide screens - this is a major pain in the neck.
    Was hoping the latest update would at least fix the scrolling,

    Following the instructions in Eric's link (or my explanation) and those instructions are by Apple, take a screenshot. It will be shown on your desktop. Sign in here, start a reply, and hit the little camera icon in the toolbar of the reply window. You'll get this:
    Next, click on browse. In the next window, choose (highlight) the screenshot you just saved and click on Open. After that (back in the original window), click on Insert Image. The image will be pasted here in your reply window.

    @Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
    UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
    Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
    You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
    Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
    Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
    Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
    IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
    You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
    Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
    I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!

  • Satellite C660 - Touchpad highlighting everything it goes over

    I have a problem with my Satellite C660 with the Synaptics touchpad V7.2 sensitivity. The cursor keeps highlighting everything it goes over and dragging the files or programmes or opening them.
    It's driving me mad and restoring it to a previous date doesn't stop it, nor does clicking the tapping function off in the Synaptics properties box or reverting to default.
    Anyone out there able to help?

    Hi
    Try to install the Synaptics latest driver from the Synaptics driver page:
    http://www.synaptics.com/en/drivers.php
    Furthermore you can adjust the touchpad settings in control panel -> mouse -> device settings -> settings button
    Here you would find lot of different options which would improve the touchpad functionality.

  • Why does Magic Mouse use much more battery power than the keyboard?

    I have the Bluetooth versions of the keyboard and the Magic Mouse. I use the same rechargeable batteries in each. Yet the mouse has now come to the end of a THIRD set of AAs, while the keyboard still has 60% of its first set.
    Why? They are both constantly in use, so why does the Mouse drain batteries so much faster than the keyboard? Viz: the mouse about once a week (two, max), while at this rate, it will be another month or more before the keyboard drains.

    Actually I don't! I consider myself a 'power user' in that I will always use the keyboard first, and I learn keyboard shortcuts for nearly everything I do regularly.
    I would guess my use is 50:50 at worst?
