Does anybody else have problems with clicks on the trackpad?

Hans Merkl
I am new to Capture One and started watching some of the webinars. One thing I have noticed that some icons when clicked on should show a context menu. But on my Macbook 13 this works maybe on one out of 10 clicks (or less).

The button I am seeing this a lot is the one to create masks.

Does anybody else have this problem?

    Do you mean hovering over the + button in the Local Adjustments tool to create a new adjustment layer? Or the brush button to actual paint a mask?

    But both show me a tooltip on have with my trackpad.

    I meant the brush tool.

    I have set my trackpad to click when I just tap it. When I tap the brush tool, nothing happens, only when I click the trackpad harder so it actually clicks. Then (not always though) a popup menu shows with options "Draw Mask", "Erase Mask" and so on. The weird thing is that other popup menus work with just a tap like the "..." buttons.

    I have never seen this behavior in any other app. Everywhere else tapping the trackpad is the same as actually clicking.

    I noticed what I call a stickiness when tapping with my intuos pen on C1 tools. Instead of selecting the tool I get the pull down menu for that tool. It's very hard to stop the menu from coming down. It's very bothersome. I have learned to tap very, very lightly. I wonder if this is a related problem.

    I also have my trackpad set to click with a tap. To get the little menu, if you used a physical click on a mouse, you'd have to hold the mouse button down, but you can't hold a tap down, so you have to physically hold the trackpad down for just that function. It's the same with the menus you get for app icons in the OSX dock. You can get a small menu of options like Quit, Show all windows, hide, etc, if you hold the mouse button down, but with tapping you can't. I just use a physical hold down. (On the dock you have the option of right clicking - two fingered tap if you have it set up like that - instead, but on the C1 toolbar, that does something else.)

    I think I have figured it out. You can click/tap on those buttons with 3 fingers and then drag one finger down and the menu opens. A little weird but works.

    Aha! You're right - so it does. Whether that is easier then click-and-hold is a matter or personal preference.
