In the expression editor dialog box my TAB key doesn't function correctly

This is bizarre behavior that seems to have started recently.
In Visual Studio 2012, an SSRS project, any expression editor dialog:
The tab key doesn't work right.
Open the expression editor and:
* I see a blinking cursor and I can type in the expression box.
* If I hit the tab key, the cursor disappears and I cannot type.  I appear to lose focus in the editor but focus doesn't appear to go anywhere else in the dialog box.
* If I hit the tab key a 2nd time, the cursor is still gone and I cannot type. 
* If I hit the tab key a 3rd time, I can finally type again and note that I am now
3 tabstops in.  In other words it seems like the tabs were working but I lost the ability to type anything until I "tab" 3 magical times. 
I can work around this by hitting tab key then grabbing the mouse and clicking where the cursor SHOULD be which returns focus to the text area.
Hopefully this image helps clarify:
Anybody know what is wrong?

Hi Bostaevski,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
According to your description, as you said that the cursor disappears and cannot type issue. It seems that the issue may be not Visual Studio the VS IDE issue.
In addition, I find a similar thread about the
Expression Editor Cursor Issue,
please see:  
http://www.beta.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedbackdetail/view/780682/vs-2012-rdlc-expression-editor-cursor-issue#.
Therefore, I suggest you could also try to press alt with left and right arrow keys and check if it is works fine.
Thnank for your understanding!

  • In Object Properties dialog box, modify "tab path"...

    For FrameMaker versions up to and including 8 (and I suspect 9).
    Select a graphic, then click in sequence
    ESC g o to open the
    Object Properties dialog box. By default the dialog box opens with the insertion point in the
    Width text entry area.
    Now press TAB four times: The insertion point moves sequentially to the
    Height,
    Top,
    Left, and then
    Color text entry areas.
    I wish the last movement, to the
    Color text entry area, was replaced with movement to the
    Percent text entry area. This would enable me to use the keyboard to efficiently configure the size, position, and scaling of a graphic.
    As it is, I virtually never need to select the graphic's
    Color text entry area and the movement of the insertion point to that essentially useless tool drives me crazy: It makes me TAB all the way 'round the dialog box or grab the pointing device to get it to the
    Percent text entry area...
    Cheers,

  • On a MBP with Mavericks how do I get the Save As dialog box to open at the same size and place at which it was last closed and used to happen before Mavericks?

    Before I upgraded my MBP to Mavericks, the Save As dialog box would reopen at the same size and position as it was when last closed.  Now with Mavericks it always opens in the same position at a very small size.  Is there a way to make it reopen at the last place and size at which it was closed?

    I have resolved the issues presented without having to find and uninstall the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 in order to get "Adobe Flash Player 10" playback of .swf files on my computer. When I begin this task, I expected to download an "Adobe Flash Player 10" as a player program download instead of the Internet Explorer and Firefox plugin that it appears to be.
    This is what I did and what I believe I have:
    1. I setup Internet Explorer 6 as my default browser and then used the following site to download Adobe Flash Player 10
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/
    2. As I had done before (and also suggested in another thread here), I went to Tools/Manage Add Ons and found Shockwave Flash Object, highlighted it, and clicked on Update Active X. Next, what I did not do before, I restarted the computer immediately after that.
    3. Next, I set Mozilla Firefox as my default browser and then used the above site to download Adobe Flash Player 10 again.
    4. With Firefox, the critical step included Firefox Tools/Options/Content with File Types (Configure how Firefox handles certain types of files) and the Manage Tab there. SWF Shockware Flash Object/Change Action/and dotting "use this plugin" - Shockwave Flash, followed by a computer restart got the job done.
    Now, if I want playback of a .swf file, I can
    a. Open With Internet Explorer (assumed with the Adobe Flash 10 "plugin")
    b. Open With Mozilla Firefox (assumed with the Adobe Flash 10 "plugin")
    c. Open With Macromedia Flash Player 8.0
    I am satisfied with those results for my use. Any additional comments on the player vs plugin aspect of the matter would be interesting and helpful.

  • Context object not visible in the Expression Editor

    Hi ,
        I have created a context object and assigned it to the sender interface ( outbound interface) but i couldn't see the created object in the Expression editor.
    Can anyone tell me why it is like this? It shows only the technical context objects .
    with Regards
    VasS

    Hi Vasagam,
    Please try out the following and see if it works:
    - Did you set the "Adapter-Specific Message Properties" in the Sender File Communication Channel.You have to select this check box and also select the "File Name" check box(this will be visible once the initially mentioned check box is selected)
    - Is the interface to which the context object is assigned an outbound Interface(Sender Interface) in receiver determination? Only then the context object will be visible.

  • Can't find the Camera Raw Dialog Box

    So, I go to one of those great photoshop seminars by Scott Kelby. I've been using elements for a few years. Decided it was most definitely time to upgrade to PS CS4.
    I got it today. I'm pumped. I'm also a bit confused. I am trying to find the camera raw dialog box spoken of in literature and help files. I have a cannon XTi and recently shot some stuff in raw, confirmed the extension of .cr2. I've opened it using bridge and tried various other ways to get the camera raw plug in to activate.
    Best I can tell, it is either fully invisible, I'm a noob, or it isn't displaying something or otherwise working. I read in the help files about "click on the basic tab in the camera raw dialog box,"  and so many other things I'm supposed to be doing in the camera raw dialog box.
    Where in the world is this box? How do I know it is the camera raw dialog box? Is it labeled that? I've spent all evening going through help files, reading materials, and have already learned a lot about PS CS4. But now I'm lost. The world is dark and grey and my life has no meaning. Well, that is what my 15 year old is telling me right now because I took her cell phone away. Enough drama, sry   life with teenagers, Lord help me!
    Seriously, where do find the camera raw dialog box? How do I know a raw file, the canon cr2 format has successfully opened in raw? I only see .psd extensions and nothing looks different to me on the screen from opening a .jpg to opening a .cr2.
    Advise is appreciated.
    Robert

    First of all make sure everything is updated: Photoshop to 11.0.1 and Camera raw to 5.6.
    See: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
    Then, if you double-click on a .CR2 file you should get the choice to open. Choose PS CS4.
    The file will then open inside PS with the Camera Raw dialog.
    Normally, if you are previewing in Bridge (which is the usual way) Cmd+R or a right-click on a CR2 file will open the ACR dialog.

  • How to disabled the input parameter dialog box in crystal reports 9

    Post Author: Murtaza
    CA Forum: General
    Hi friends,I have got stuck with a weird problem.  In my
    crystal report, I have set up some input parameters.  I am setting
    values for these parameters somewhere inside code.  But I don't
    want to show the default input parameter dialog box. Under any case,
    user should not see the ugly parameter dialog box that crystal
    presents.   Please suggest me how I can achieve
    this.  I cannot do this through code, because our environment does
    not allow that.  I have to do this in crystal reports viewer and
    by setting some property of the crystal report object. But everything
    must be done on UI, not through code. So, the solution should not be the following. 
    // step before step 1
    // **** the line needs to refer to the report and be set before setting
    ReportSource in the viewer to myReport
    myReport.EnableParameterPrompting = False
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Murtaza

    Post Author: sleahcim
    CA Forum: General
    Hi Murtaza,
    Unfortunately, I am not aware of any method to suppress the prompt for the input parameters, but still use them.  It is truly a design-related issue for the report.  The reason that the prompt appears is because the parameter it is prompting for is used in the report; in particular either the Group or Record Selection, or referenced in another formula.
    The only way I can think of to not show the prompt, is to not use the parameter in the report.  You did mention that you are setting the value of the parameter inside of the report -- are you doing this through using a formula?  Perhaps you can just remove the parameter and only use the formula that you are setting the default values with.

  • How come the "save as" dialog box keeps popping up whenever I try to use alt codes?

    I type with diacritical marks regularly but recently, when I press and hold Fn + Alt + the numerical code, it brings up the "save as" dialog box. This seems to be a Firefox-specific issue because this doesn't happen on Microsoft Word + other programs. I am wondering how to disable this "save as" dialog box shortcut, or how to just get the alt codes to work.

    Hm, this is the list of add-ons that are currently enabled on my browser:

  • How do I force Firefox (6v02) to stop showing thumbnails of existing file(s) in the save-as dialog box?

    I save files associated with similar objects using similar names (just a different extension, or numeric sequence). The save-as dialog box shows a list of existing files. When I choose one, with the intention of changing the file extension or the numeric sequence (e.g., choose 'file001.jpg' in order to rename the new file to be saved 'file002.mpg') the thumbnail associated with the one I select is shown on the right. I neither want nor need this time-consuming & memory-consuming process to take place. I would like to be able to disable this feature in order to allow me to do what I want directly and faster (P3/866MHz/512MB).

    Perhaps, but the problem is I don't really know what to look for. I've tried doing a keyword search of the AIprefs file to find where ICC profiles and compression could be located but I couldn't find anything. Does anyone know what they are called and what I should modify?
