Photoshop 2022 won't right click on tools Mac

My Mac & Photoshop is all up to date with the latest versions but now everytime I try to right click on a tool it won't bring up the other options inside the tool.

 

Does anyone have any ideas why this might be? It's been working fine up until this week.

I see that you've already reset your preferences.

What happens when you use the keyboard (command-click) to access the contextual menus?

@david@davidlawson.net 

I don't know, but before you reset preferences:

  • Does Control+Click work? (Control+Click is the equivalent of right-click and has worked since the days of the one-button mouse.)
  • Does right click work in other places? (You didn't say, and it could be a mouse setting.)
  • Does press and hold (long-press) work?
  • And last: are there triangles in the lower-right corner of the tools you are trying this on? (Apologies if this is obvious.)

Yes, super annoying, but thank you for sharing your solution @david@davidlawson.net . I've marked it "Correct".

Are you sure there is at least one secondary Tool? 

Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, …) visible? 

 

Does click-holding work?
