I upgraded to 1.16 and started having a lot of issues with programs and games. My left click and drag was messed up and not usable. If I'm in Windows and I left click drag down, the menu opens and the Windows dialogue messes up. If I'm in a game, the left mouse button is not usable. Took a while to figure it was SyMenu. Went back to 1.15 and no issues.

Forgot to mention I have a Logitech mouse using the Logitech software to configure the extra buttons on the mouse. Haven't had an issue with anything else.

Hello nicedreams.

The bug you report is very strange because I avoid to implement mouse gestures linked to left mouse button. The reason is exactly the one you describe.
In Windows the left mouse button is actually used in a way that could collide with a mouse gesture management. The file dragging operation is one perfect example.

SyMenu monitors only the gesture on the right mouse button (or the center button/mouse wheel if you configure it in that way).
I can't understand why you have the problem with the left button instead.

How is SyMenu gesture configured in your case? Right or center button?
What happened if you change your SyMenu gesture button setting?
Incidentally you have the mouse buttons switched? (it's a Windows setting for left handed person)
Can you try to temporary disable the Logitech software and check if that solves the bug?

If you can't workaround in any way your problem, you can disable SyMenu gesture at all.

What I've done before I downgraded was disable the Logitech software, but still had the issues. I didn't actually uninstall, but tried to crash anything that was for Logitech in the task manager. I didn't mess with any of the configuration settings for the mouse gestures in SyMenu. I didn't realize about those new features until after I downgraded and figured out the new upgrade was my issue.

I haven't tried messing with the new one, but I will when I get a chance to help you out with any bugs.

I don't think that shutting down all the Logitech processes could change something because I think that interface with a multi button mouse needs a special driver instead. And you can't see a driver on the task manager.
Anyway try to upgrade again to SyMenu 1.16 and configure the gesture manager with the middle button or disable this feature at all.
If you discover some new detail please let me know.

I'm using the new 1.16 again and it's working fine with the gestures turned off. I think the left mouse button drag down is a bad default for a mouse gesture though, because it conflicts with any program or game that uses the left mouse button. I've been using a keyboard hotkey mapped to a side mouse button for SyMenu which has been working very well for me for a few years.

Maybe a suggestion to be able to add a mouse hotkey instead of only a keyboard hotkey? I know this would be a large conflict with other default stuff a mouse would do depending on who made it, so maybe not a great idea. Mapping with the logitech software has been fine.

Still love the program. Just my opinion on the moues gestures.

Infact the default mouse button for the SyMenu gesture is the right one not the left one. I think that your problem could be caused by the interaction between SyMenu and your Logitech software.
You can change the right mouse button with the center one but NOT with the left one. Left one is evil for mouse gesture for several reasons.
I can't add a mouse hotkey function in SyMenu because Windows API manages only mouse with three buttons (left, right and middle) and the wheel.
Any other function is due to third parts software.

If any other user experiments some issue on mouse gesture please let me know here or privately.
In this case your feedback is very important because mouse gesture is an experimental feature and I need to know if it works well or not.
