Flip arrows in 4.0

Hello everyone. I've recently made the switch to 4.0 and absolutely love most of the changes that were implemented. One change is irritating me. When you grab a dimension and move it around, right clicking used to flip the arrows for you. It's not doing that in 4.0. It's very annoying to have to go through a drop down menu versus just right clicking. Is this an option that can be turned on/off? I can't seem to find anything in the config.pro. Thanks for any help.
 
I dont believe there is a config option
The left button needs to be held down continuously and the right button can be tapped to flip arrows. ootherwise you can right click Select properties and use flip arrows button.

It's most likely a problem with your mouse driver.

Everything works fine in 2.0 and 3.0. But for some reason it won't function like it should in 4.0. So I don't think there is a driver issue. There has to be something I'm missing as far as setup files or options.
 
Michael is correct. You have to lmb first to highlight the dim. Then lmb and hold to move the dim around. As you are holding the lmb, pressing the rmb will flip the arrows.

Yes, I'm well aware and doing it correctly. But for some reason, that function is unavailable. I still haven't figured it out.
 
I don't think it's a driver issue because it works perfectly fine in both 2.0 and 3.0 for me. It still may be, but my gut tells me it's something else.
 
In our WF4 testing we've discoveredthat we need to upgrade our graphics card drivers to avoid crashes. WF4 is newer software than 3/2 and as such may require newer suport software (ie drivers).Either way, it should be a very quickidea to test and if it doesn't work you've ruled it out as a possibility.
