How do I turn off the new bring into focus mode?
Can I change what the double left click operation does?
As far as I know you can't but I suggest that you go into Windows and set your double click speed. I can only imagine how many errors your sending to your applications if you accidently double click regularly.
Thanks David,
I'll play around with the double click speed to see if it helps.
I"m using a new laptop with a touchpad and this new function is driving me nuts! I created a ticket with Corel draw several days ago but typically haven't received a response.
Hi Bob. Sadly no. This new "annoying" feature is also driving me up the wall, but it cannot be deactivated.It would be nice to have an option to turn it on or off, but no. It was a feature that was requested by many users, supposedly...
Why don't you fix your computer? Accidentally sending commands is a pathbtoba corrupted file.
I have to agree Stephan.Even though it is a nice new feature, it is far too easy to accidentally activate it if you double click in the wrong place.Examples: You double click an object to switch to Shape tool (node editing), or you double click a text object to activate Text tool, but the object happens to be part of a group so Focus mode gets activated instead.
How are you guys accidently doing all this double clicking? Corel will most likely introduce the change for the subscription version but this is just poor hardware setup.
It is not necessarely about "accidentally" double clicking, David.Power users often double click an object to activate Shape tool (to start node editing) or Text tool (to start text editing), instead of going via the toolbox or using a shortcut.If this is done on an object that happens to be part of a group (which isn't obvious if the object hasn't been selected first), focus mode will be activated instead.FYI, I have set mouse wheel click to double click for as long as I can remember and yes, it happens that I accidentally double click when I try to work fast, but it is a minor problem (compared to the benefits of "one click double clicking" ) and it is not related to what we are talking about here.
Power users seem to have more problems then the term power user would imply.
