I just bought a new computer and it came with a touch screen and a touch mouse pad that could do swipes, scrolls etc. After playing around with these new toys I turned them off, at least for now.
I installed PSE 14, 13 and 12. Went to do a right click on a category to create a sub-category and it didn't work, I then tried to exclude a category(another right click option). I reinstalled all three products. Same results. This seriously created a lot of sub-category and tag problems for me as it also removed my ability to exclude a category.
Right click worked OK in other areas, just not in PSE.
After a lot of Googling(no help) I went looking at my mouse options. I had turned off "press on lower right corner of the touch pad to right click". My touch pad has a right/left buttons so I interpreted this to mean the actual touch pad. Wrong. This turned off my right button inside of PSE. Once I turned this option on again all is fine. I think this is a PSE problem since the right button works in other locations. When I have a chance I will report it.

If im thinking right with what you've mention, could be wrong but in the mouse properties you set your own mouse preferences when working within ie pse ps or other editing software, also if your browsing the internet you can set the mouse so you dont need to use the tabs along the top of your browser page, it can all be done from your mouse.

I can't find anything in the mouse properties dialog allowing me to change the mouse preferences when working within Elements, Photoshop, etc. All the settings which can be adjusted are of a "generic" kind, i.e., they relate to the OS (in my case, Windows). What am I missing? |

One of my computers has a touchscreen/touch mouse pad. I have Elements 11, 12, 13, and 14 installed on it. I will check the right-clicking situation and report back.
This is an interesting development. Back in Elements 11, Adobe tweaked the user interface to accommodate touchscreens. The icons are now designed to react to both our fingers and the mouse clicks.

FYI-This also affected another one of my programs. I had to go through each item I turned off to get the other program to work.
Sepiana, I turned off the touch pad because I didn't like to use it. I may turn it on again in the future. Thinking about it I not sure were the problem lies. PSE and my other program are the only 2 I have had problems with when I turned off the touch pad. Major problem is that turning off the touch pad also affected the mouse keys. That should not be.
All is working so I wouldn't spend much time on this.
This was more to inform others if they encounter this problem.
Touerjim,
I am not aware of any pgms that allow you to change the mouse setting specific to that program. All are generic and are applied to all programs. I have a PC running W10.

Sue,
Here is my set-up -- the touch pad is on and the mouse is connected. I checked right-clicking in the Organizer in Elements 11 through 14 and for good measure . . . in Elements 7 and 10. There was no problem. Right-clicking worked without a glitch.
I also checked the mouse settings. There is nothing there which can be adjusted specifically to work within Elements or any other photo-editing program. |

Not had a chance to find the link just yet so ill look tomorrow night when i have little more time, Didn't read all the info in the link as it wasn't what i was looking for but windows 10 if i have it right has a pop up window that when you right click you can set preferences when working with opened apps.
