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.

    In photoshop CC I used to able to right click the width and height in the toolbar and change the unit from % to whatever unit type I wanted and it would show the sizing info in that unit. Right clicking no longer allows me to change the unit type (it does nothing) so if I want to see the current size quickly I have to use one of the other pallets... why was this ability removed? or is just Broken?

    If you want change unit (%, cm, mm, px), type it in the window (example: 2cm or 30 px, or 150mm etc...).

    I am having the same right-click issues with the 14.2 update - any progress toward solving these problems?

    Just updated to Photoshop 14.2 and suddenly I can't right-click to change between percent and pixels when resizing an object. This happens in both the 64 and 32-bit versions on Windows 8. Steps:
    1. Ctrl-T to resize a shape (anything, really)
    2. Right-click in the H or W fields at the top of the screen. You should get a drop-down to choose between percent or pixels, but as of the newest version, you get nothing. I can't imagine this is a feature enhancement, so I'm assuming it's a bug.

    Please let me know if there's some workaround - it's a feature I use a lot.

    Thanks!

    Experiencing the same issue--no measurement unit context menu when I right-click height or width transform fields. Hopeful for a quick resolution, as it is extremely inconvenient.

    I have Photoshop CC. It updated to the latest version a few days ago. The right click menu function now no longer works. I have rebooted my computer and verified that my mouse works properly. I use this feature constantly! Please fix ASAP. Thank You!

    I am no longer able to do a reverse selection, grow or find "similar" pixel ... i must use menu bar "select" for the same command select.
