Do you have a programmable mouse? It’s possible that it’s sending a double click when you click once.
Bob
Well I don’t have any extra mouse software installed. It’s just a standard Microsoft mouse. I can go to ‘Control Panel -> Mouse’ and test the click and double click and the mouse seems to work fine.
Frustrating….
Bruce,
I’ve seen this problem reported here in the past, and I cannot recall the solution, but it may be solved by resetting your preferences per the procedure outlined in the faq.
Peace,
Tony
Maybe it’s a Windows setting for accessability (one mouse click produces two, or a long one). I too have PS 7.01 and W2000, without this problem.
Rob
Ok, figure this out…. it’s stopped. Basically the only thing I’ve done, and it’s completely unrelated, is I installed the MS Personal Web Server on this machine because I am doing some web design. Afterwards I re-installed some security patches. Then I started up Photoshop and.. bam it’s fine again. I just hope it doesn’t come back because that was maddening!
Bruce,
I don’t know how the key mapping could be changed unless via a deliberate action in the driver software, but this sounds to me like the click is being read as a right-key click. Is the mouse an ambidextrous mouse with the driver allowing the left and right key actions to be reversed?

Ugh, I remember this one vaguely. Have you rebooted your machine recently?

Ugh, I remember this one vaguely
me too. never found a solution, all cases mysteriously solved themselves. gremlins. 🙂
I don’t know what fixed it.. seems strange. Whether it was the install of the Windows patches or simply a reboot.. who know.. Really strange!!
I also vaguely remember that we tripped across it ourselves and fixed it for Photoshop CS.

thanks scott! good to know.
