Alt+Left Mouse click always resets the setting?

NN635310390059628350UL
Hello. I'm currently testing Capture One and from watching several tutorials and webinars, I learnt that Alt+Left Mouse click (while holding down Alt) is supposed to temporarily reset the current setting (as also noted in the corresponding tooltip).

My problem is that on my machine this only works if I only shortly click the left mouse button. Once I keep the mouse button pressed (always while keeping the Alt key pressed as well!), then the setting is reset permanently as if the Alt key wasn't pressed.
This makes this feature unusable for me. Is this a known issue or "am I holding it wrong"?

I'm pressing and holding down the left Alt key, then pressing and holding the left mouse button on the little left-arrow icon on the setting I want to temporarily reset.

    What version of CO are you running?

    You are doing it correctly (as you have described it).

    Always release the mouse before the Alt key.

    Can you try a different mouse? They can sometimes start to become problematic and produce unexpected instruction signals - sort of like getting doubleclicks - that may prove troublesome.

    Likewise can you test a different keyboard just in case there is a problem with your Alt key. For example I once had a problem with a piece of desk debris sitting under a key, unseen, that made the key rather intermittent in operation without it feeling any different.

    The only other thing I can think of is that somehow the default shortcut has been changed although I am not aware of any way to make such a change.

    HTH.

    I'm using Version 7.2 on Win7. I have already tried another mouse.
