A feature has disappeared since the latest Photoshop CC update (14.2) 16/01/2014. If you Free Transform a layer or Marquee, you are presented with X: Y: W: H: etc. values in the top bar. If you want to change the units (i.e. % to pixels) you would ordinarily right click to reveal the context menu with your options. This feature does not currently work.

I'm also having this problem, using Windows 8.1/Photoshop CC 14.2/x64. Was working fine before the 14.2 update.

I edit in floating windows and often right click on a floating window title bar to open a dialog like duplicate, Image size, canvas size or file info, As shown in this CS6 screen capture. After the Photoshop CC update 14.2 the rifgt click function no longer works.

This morning I updated my Photoshop CC and now the right mouse button doesn't respond in selection mode. Example: I paint two swatches of red on a blank document. Yesterday, I could select the one splotch of red with the magic wand, right click, get a flyout menu and choose 'similar' to allow me to select both both splotches of red. Today, no flyout menu comes out when I right click after selecting the red splotch.

If it is 14.2 on Windows, then it's probably the same issue.

Another possibly related issue is the missing right click context menu using the magic wand tool in Ps CC 14.2 on Win 7.

Hi, I'm not sure if the bug that I found should have been merged with this topic. These appear to be separate issues.

In Adobe photoshop CC while using transform selection or free transform the popup menu's for Width ( W ) and Height ( H ) do not seem to work anymore. I can change to other option ( %,px,mm,cm ) by physically typing these values. This appear to happen since I installed the last update yesterday morning.

Hi,

I installed the update to Photoshop CC today (Thursday 1/16/14).
This is what the bug is: I go to View-New Guide. In the dialog box that pops up I usually right click in the box next to the word Position and change the increments from inches to percentage. Now when I right click nothing happens. I can't change inches to percentage. I work with textile layouts. This bug is affects the work I do.
Please help. FYI: I'm Working in windows 7 64 bit.
Thanks,
Frederick

We've confirmed the behavior. It is limited to Windows and affects four different areas:
Document Titlebar (floating docs only)
Transform tool option bar
Path Selection tool option bar
All Shape Tools option bars

We are currently investigating the issue.
