The difference between clicking on the 'release' or the 'click'
Hi all,
I have been wondering for a while. What is the general concept of clicking with a mouse on something?
1. Some things activate on the 'release' of the mouse button. For instance clicking on links in a browser, or (this is an old part of the list of annoyances to me) Photoshop polygon selecting tool activates on release, meaning that you cant make a fast selection because you have to hold the mouse still for every click you make.
2. Other things activate on the click it self. For example switching to a new tab or clicking a menu bar title or the 'start' button in windows.
What is the general concept behind this. Im pretty sure the photoshop thing has to be changed. Is it just random?
