Tools fly-outs not working?

Hi

I'm using a 15" work MacBook Pro (2016, touch bar, Sierra 10.12.6).

Whether I use it with, or without, my Wacom Intuos Pro, the fly-out options do not work unless I simultaneously press Control on the keyboard first.

While it's good this works, it's very clunky. On previous macs I used to be able to select them with my pointer (be it mouse or pen).

Any ideas?

Compared to the original post, I am speaking to you from the future! But what that actually means is that I ran into the same symptoms in Mac OS 15 Sequoia on an M3 MBP, working in Adobe Illustrator 2025 and InDesign 2025 (the problem wasn't happening in Photoshop 2025.) Because of this discrepency, it definitely felt as if I should be looking outside of Adobe products.

The solution for me was that in my Mac dock, I had the apps Assigned to specific Desktops. (right-click on your App icon, select Options...) Once I changed them to "all Desktops" I was good to go.

Or are you talking about the secondary Tools in the Toolbox?

What are you saying – that a simple press with the Brush Tool for example used to raise the contextual menu for you instead of actually brushing?

Or did you use the button on the pen?

Yes, the secondary tools on the fly-out menu.

I am saying that simply pressing on the Brush Tool, as the example, would enable the fly-out, as it does in Illustrator and InDesign. I don't know why Photoshop has changed. The button on the pen does nothing either. I have to press the Brush Tool and hold Ctrl down at the same time to get the contextual menu. I didn't used to have to do that.

Thanks

As indicated in the lines

Double-click the application’s uninstaller.
From the menu in the upper-right corner of the script window, select the version of the application you want to remove. Press Return.

you were supposed to uninstall only the application in question, in this case Photoshop.

Did you inadvertently clean the whole Adobe Creative Cloud?

If so you have to install it anew.

I only removed Photoshop actually... but it also removed Illustrator and InDesign (not my other Adobe apps).

Fortunately I had help from an Adobe Agent.

I will seek their advice about Photoshop.
