Edit: Nope, it worked for one right click. Now it's back as it was.

Impossible... Don't change WB skin and it will work eternally.

This worked at first but reloading a WB sets it back to "Right-handed"

You need use this "patch" each time after applying new skin in WindowBlinds. At least until  this bug will be fixed...

All this SNAFU started AFTER the Tuesday MSUpdate. I had to do a complete System Restore and now everything has been returned to a more normal SNAFU period.

Well ... its kinda like this. I am not going to apply a patch each time I change a skin, I'll live with it. It isn't that much of a bother.

Just noticed it is doing this very same thing in Windows XP 32-bit, SP3, all updates current.  Menus moving left and right off of main right click menu is extremely erratic.  Sometimes it works correctly, but most times not.

The only time the sub-menu should be on the left is when there is not enough room for it to appear on the right, period.  In WB 7.3 the only time it is appearing on the right is when there is no room on the left, like everything is reversed.

Could someone please move this thread to the Support area, I don't think it is going to get noticed in this area.  Thanks. 

 

Thanks Doc and Hank!

Exactly. Thanks for moving it, I should have put it there to begin with, I guess.

Oddly enough I removed windowblinds completely and the issue was still present until I ran the fix Vad suggested.

That is odd, but the fix VadM suggested has to be reapplied every time you change blinds.

 

 

One thing I wish to point out is that I never stated that this has anything to do with windowblinds. That was inferred later.

It's probably my ftp server. Use IE to download and change ext to .reg

 

If you want to do it the old fashion way:

Notepad:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows]
"MenuDropAlignment"=-

Save. Rename .reg. Merge. Reboot.

I am seeing the same thing and it has nothing to do with where I click.  On the same popup menu clicked from the same place some sub-menus are opening left and some right even though there is plenty of room right.

Yeah, in Windows Vista and Windows 7 it only works until you apply another skin.

 

Just have to wait for the fix I guess.

I thought it wasn't very bothering, until I came back to Photoshop 

 

 

I'll keep Vad's method until it'll be fixed...
