Try decreasing your double-click speed in Control Panel -> Mouse preferences.
Makes no difference. I set it all the way up and all the way down and the behavior is exactly the same. Deleting my preferences had no effect either.
Sean, Since you’re only clicking once, maybe your mouse setting is configured for left-handed people, and maybe you are right.
(or maybe I’m wrong…)
Or: Your O/S allows you to configure opening things with one click (like clicking on a URL) Rob.
Yes, this has appeared here before.
I think it was another case for resetting prefs [FAQ], which seems to fix lots of PS odd behaviour.
Photoshop is the only program doing anything odd. I’m not stupid enough to not be able to tell if the mouse was set with the buttons flipped – give me a LITTLE credit, please!
I do not have the OS configured to do things in a single click. That only effect icons in My Computer and Windows Explorer anyway.
Also, as I said above (reply #2), I deleted my preferences and it didn’t make a damn bit of difference.
OK, at risk of being accused of treating you like you’re stupid …
Are you sure that prefs got deleted? You held down the keys, got the dialog and agreed?
but all I got back from my repeated search attempts was nothing at all or useless irrelevant crap.
Well this probably falls into that category but Ive seen this behavior too. I cant isolate whats causing this because I cant reproduce this problem at will. It comes and goes. It works as expected most of the time so I dont lose any sleep over that.
Colin, yes that is correct. :-/
Why doesn’t Adobe have any support people on this forum? They really need to answer this thread!
And wait on hold all day? I’ve got better things to do with my free time, though I might do that eventually.
