LivMore Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I do not know what I changed but I can no longer move anything in Affinity Publisher. When I have the move tool selected if I move the cursor a drop down menu appears that shows a long list starting with Copy, Paste, Cut. How do I turn this off so I can move an image or text box? Help! Ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums, @LivMore. If you provide a screenshot of your application window, including that menu, it might help us identify what's happening. However, for a guess, it sounds like you're somehow performing a right-click with your mouse or stylus. What OS do you use, and are you using a mouse or stylus? And if stylus, what kind?

LivMore Posted September 30, 2022 Author Share Posted September 30, 2022 Hi there Walt, I am using MacOS Monterey and I am just using the touchpad for my cursor. I may have inadvertently turned on a shortcut for the cursor but I have no idea how or how to turn it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LivMore Posted September 30, 2022 Author Share Posted September 30, 2022 I tried the systems preferences for the trackpad but this didn't change anything for moving object in publisher. I still have the drop down menu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivMore Posted September 30, 2022 Author Share Posted September 30, 2022 Oh wait, I think I got to work. If I only press half-way down on the trackpad! New computer but I did not encounter this previously on my last project in Publisher. IDK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LivMore Posted September 30, 2022 Author Share Posted September 30, 2022 Thank you, Old Bruce. I checked this and it was checked but didn't change anything. But at least I know I just can't be heavy handed now. Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LivMore Posted September 30, 2022 Author Share Posted September 30, 2022 I did uncheck it. When I said I "checked it", I meant I looked into it 😅 Old Bruce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
