Hello everyone,
I am having a small problem with photoshop cs. Whenever I go to save something by clicking on the X at the upper right hand corner and then being prompted to click yes, no or cancel the mouse does not jump to being over the yes button. If I do the same thing in lets say word then this does happen. Does anyone know how to correct this? My client said that it did use to do this in photoshop CS. I dont know of any setting that would fix this. Thanks for any suggestions. Brian

That’s correct.

In Microsoft Windows, it is not normal behavior for the mouse pointer to jump to a button. Not in Word, not in Photoshop, not in any program.

If you see a computer doing this, it is because that computer has special software that does it. This is NOT normal behavior!

The software that ships with some aftermarket Kensington mice can be configured to do this. There is other software that does it as well.

The problem you describe is not a problem with Photoshop. It is a problem with the third-party add-on software that makes the mouse pointer jump around.

In order to solve the problem, you will need to discover what software your client is using to make the mouse pointer jump around, then contact the tech support for that software.

The "standard" mouse that ships with Dell computers, using a Microsoft XP driver does offer this option; however it must be intentionally turned on and it doesn’t work in Photoshop, which is a good thing.

Selecting the "Close" button and allowing the mouse to automatically jump to the dialog box button that currently has the focus just happens to get you the "Save" option in some programs. There are other dialogs where the default focus might have disastrous results if the user inadvertently clicks without thinking.

It is inadvisable to turn on this "feature" as it offers too many options for the user to click a button they didn’t intend. Better to let the user learn to properly save and close files rather than having the mouse jump to the default response in every dialog box. ——————————-

If you intend to click on the yes button, just hit Return key. It is quicker and foolproof.

…and in combination with the Tab button you can choose no or cancel as well.
