MarkoSA Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) Hi, Affinity Photo Windows version 1.6.5.123. For some reason dropdown menus are opening left side, instead of right. How can I get those back to right side? Edited August 25, 2018 by MarkoSA Tittle spelling mistake corrected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff DWright Posted August 26, 2018 Staff Share Posted August 26, 2018 Can you please reset your Affinity Photo back to its default settings by holding down the CTRL key while launching Photo. When the Clear User Data window appears, click Select All and then Clear. pen. Be aware that resetting your app back to its default settings will lose any custom settings such as keyboard shortcuts and brushes etc. To backup such settings before resetting the app, please watch our Affinity - Exporting User Settings and Keyboard Shortcuts video. And please let me know if the issue with the menus remains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkoSA Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) I was able to reset Affinity Photo as you requested. Issue is still there. I took couple of screen captures after the reset, see attachments. I also closed the application and launched Photo again, no help. Right side of the dropdown menu all sub-menus are on the left side. Left side of the dropdown menu all sub-menus are on the right side. Same session. I haven't never experienced the same problem before and been using Affinity Photo already for sometime. I haven't done any changes on Windows settings. All the other applications are showing dropdown sub-menus right side of the menu. Not switching right-left-right etc. Edited August 26, 2018 by MarkoSA Text clarification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not an Affinity issue, but is caused by Windows, as (if I remember correctly) part of an accessibility feature for users with tablets attached to their PCs. I'm sure it's been mentioned in these forums previously, but it may take me awhile to find it.

MarkoSA Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 I'm using PC on desktop mode. All tablet functions been turned OFF. Or do you mean drawing tablet? I am using Wacom Intuos S tablet. PhotoShop CS5.1 is not behaving as such, just tried that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkoSA Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 Thanks for this. I've tried that already and Handedness been always 'Right-handed'. This does not help. See the attachment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Yes, that's what I was thinking of. Thanks, @carl123. However, having proposed that, I should note that my PC is set to "right-handed" but it exhibits the same behavior as shown in @MarkoSA's screenshot above. So it may simply be a behavior of Windows that the pull-downs happen on different sides, when you have a drawing tablet installed? By the way, there's a simpler way to find that setting than shown in the thread you found: Open Windows settings, and put "handedness" in the search box.

carl123 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 You have to change it from Right to Left Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

That's the way how it goes. This setting change was only needed for Photo. Interestingly all the other applications were running and are still running like nothing has happened.

The Affinity applications are aware of some things that other applications ignore, such as your monitor's color profile.
