Just recently a problem has begun with Photoshop CS2. When I have any photograph loaded and I click on any high level menu, the menu does not open. If I click on it a second time, it does open. Now if I click back on the image, and then try a high level menu again, it does not open on the first click. I must click it again.

To make sure this is clear. Here is exactly what I do to test this.

1. Load any photo.
2. click on the photo with the mouse pointer (in my test I used hand tool)
3. Click on high level menu (I clicked on Image for my test)
4. Menu does NOT open.
5. Click a second time. Menu DOES open.
6. Click back on photo (I used the hand tool)
7. Click on high level menu (Image). It does NOT open
8. Click again and it DOES open.

What is going wrong?

I loaded Photoshop CS2 on a second computer and it is doing exactly the same thing. I have Windows XP Home on both with all the latest updates.

I am running the very latest updates for Photoshop CS2.

Cheers,
Fredrick

It is apparenlty a bug that I’ve seen too. I found this blurb on PhotoShopNews:

From the Adobe Photoshop Windows User to User Forums comes a report that the
9.0.1 update for Windows effect mouse clicks on menus in some cases. Menues
require an extra click to regain focus from non-maximized document.

First posted by forum user false_dmitrii (see original thread) the issue has been confirmed by Photoshop engineer and co-architect Scott Byer. Scott offered an intial work around of hitting Tab-Tab but went on to explain the bug may have arisen due to a fix for the Info palette in 9.0.1.

Scott posted:

Workaround: Hide or close the Info palette. Slight tweak; you do have to bring the Info palette to the front once after launch, then hide it or bring the Navigator back in front. If it starts in back and you don’t touch it, the extra click is still needed.
