eraser changing from left clik to right clik ?

[oma]

eraser question: computor question:

strangest thing just happened to me when I was using paint.net.

my eraser suddenly switched from a left clik of the mouse to a right click?

how do I change it back to left clik?

so odd.

[Simon Brown]

Did this change happen while Paint.NET was running?

[oma]

yes totally odd right in the middle of a picture as well I might say. good thing it was only a practice of technique.

I closed out the paint.net program re started and the mouse was back to the left click. so odd

I've just tried to replicate and couldn't. must just have been a glitch with the combination of plugins.

the ones I was using on the test picture were multi gradiant, power stretch, drop shadow, rotate layers and then feather. so could have been any one of them or a combination of all.

very odd behaviour.

will mark it up as a glitch for now. and if it happens again will record exact steps.

so for now looks fine just strange.

Very, very odd. I'm going to toss this over to Troubleshooting; find it there if it happens again.

Maybe you just turned unintended and unnoticed your mouse upside down...

me is sooo much clev0r :B

[HITMAN-X-]

that is strange. I have seen something like this before in windows were you right click for a file menu and then when you left click the mouse keeps doing the right click action instead.

[oma]

so I've been able to reproduce error twice now.

I'm posting a screen shot of what steps I've done at the eraser point it moves from left click to right click.

things I can think of that might help you all sort this out.

I ususally feather more than once and at high second number true feather. primary color is set at 0 alpha after feather I always magnify above 500 so I can see stray pixels.

I'm running 3.31 xp

closing and saving the pdn and just reopening does not revert my mouse clik back to left. I must discard the picture and start over.

I have had luck adding another layer and changing primary back to 255 alpha and using eraser with both right and left ? mouse buttons at that point.

very odd.

When this is happening does it just apply to PDN?

Also, were you using key combinations to launch the effects?

[oma]

well as I only open one program paint.net and don't generally do any work on anything else at the same time I'd say yes.

and no I don't generally use shortcuts key strokes. .

Oma is your left click working all right for all other pdn tools except for eraser?

Cause I've encountered lots of troubles lately (i.e. when I left clicked the rectangle or ellipse tools they got weird while if I right clicked on them they worked all right) so I tried with a new mouse and the problem was fixed (may be my left click button was broken, I don't know)
