Odd tablet behaviour

hi
I am running windows 7 ultimate & Cs4.All appears to work well. I use a wacom tablet which is great apart from one thing.
When I try to scroll up or down a page of action script instead ofscrolling part of the a. s. is deleted.
l can scroll nicely up and down through DW code or Ps images.
Any ideas?
Thanks

  • 10.6.5 update - 27" iMac, Radeon 5750 odd graphics behaviours?

    I updated my new iMac 27" to OS 10.6.5 today and have seen some odd graphics behaviours.
    1. Dock icon for Activity Monitor becomes transparent. Running AM, hidden showing CPU history
    2. White rectangle at bottom of expanding folder (list view)
    3. OK Button blue/white check mark pattern when configuring VPN. GUI feels "slow"
    I updated using the Software Update tool; noticed these issues and re-updated using the Combo Installer; no change.
    Any ideas or suggestions? Is this just me? I have a MacBook -- no probems at all!

    N Gallagher,
    I had the problem earluer, but it got far worse with 10.6.5, however, I fixed it by updating my wacom tablet driver.
    It wasn't the system update, but an old driver causing the problem.
    Resetting PRAM, SMC and permissions and all the other standard drivel people post is nice sentiments, but it should be clear that the problem is something else because that solution hasn't solved the problem for anyone.
    I have the sneaky suspicion that it's old flash and old drivers for most people.
    See my original post here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12570261#12570261
    BUT. If you have a Wacom tablet, for to their website and download the latest driver from September 10, 2010.
    That's all it took for all my graphics problems to go away.

  • Odd software behaviour Lumia 720

    I'm the proud owner of a Lumia 720 since July. I'm facing some odd software behaviour recently though. Without notice or any pattern, the current app changes to another one, sometimes four or five times while my phone vibrates like mad. It happens two, or three times a week, and there's no significant pattern but this weird "phone on speed" behaviour always ends in the Bing app. I thought rebooting was the answer but it doesn't. Does someone has any clue?

    Ugura,
    Thanks for your reply. I adjusted the touch sensitivity but that did not do the trick. Last night, I was already sleeping, suddenly my Lumina 720 played a song that I played before many weeks ago. That was quite odd too. With my phone connected to the charger, me asleep and there was that terrible noise from an old U2-song... And I could not stop it, nor could I lower the volume so I had to turn on my computer to find the keys to a soft reset and it was in the middle of the night.
    So I waited till this morning to reset my phone to it's factory-settings. Much to my annoyance- without any external app loaded, the phone went on nuts again. This time, while vibrating taking numerous screen shots... It's like my phone is haunted. A little poltergeist in it. I need some high-tec exorcism I'm afraid.
    Hope someone can help me further!

  • Odd SocketPermission behaviour

    Hi,
    I've been trying to use SocketPermissions to restrict the IP addresses from which a ServerSocket will accept a connection and am getting some wierd behaviour.
    The ServerSocket will reject and close the first connection attempt from a disallowed address. Subsequent connections from the same host (using telnet) are not rejected/accepted or closed - they just 'hang there'.
    The SecurityManager is also really slow at deciding whether a connection can be accepted or rejected.
    Is this usual ? Or is there a way to setup SecurityManager to behave 'nicely' ?
    regards

  • Odd Quicklook behaviour

    Running mavericks 10.9.2 have noticed a small quirk in the behaviour on one of my installs.
    Selecting a group of images (mostly jpegs, sometimes tiffs) and opening quicklook. scrollling through
    and quite randomly some of the images will momentarily flash up then turn blank, if you cycle through to the start and continue
    sometimes those that didn't show, will show and vice versa. if you select the grid option then all will show.
    all images are in either sRGB or RGB in the most part 8 bit, and all without layers or alpha channels.
    there is another hard drive on my machine that has the same version of mavericks
    and does not display this behaviour
    I have also removed the quick look preferences from the users library and restarted but the behaviour continues.
    so i was wondering if anyone has come across this and if they have any ideas as to why this might be happening
    any known issues with third party apps etc.
    any advice would be gratefully received
    thanks in advance.

  • Odd return behaviour

    okay, consider the following example:
    public class Oops {
         public static void main(String args[]){
    1:          String oops;
    2:          return;
    3:          System.out.println(oops);
    }we get compile error at 3 saying unreachable statement .. fair enough.
    now, consider this:
    public class Oops {
         public static void main(String args[]){
    1:          String oops;
    2:          if(true) return;
    3:          System.out.println(oops);
    }we have modified two and now there is no errors whats-so-ever.
    However, the odd behaviour hecomes obvious if we comment out line 2 where we will get "variable oops might not have been initialized." ... so it would seem that it can recognize that if(true) return; will not let the program reach 3 and hence doesn't care if oops is initialized but why don't we get a similiar error as in example one?

    I don't see anything bizarre about this question. What
    are you referring to?Perhaps 'bizarre' was a poor choice of words. It's just that I recall silkm posting a rather similar question before (a question about how the compiler/jvm handles thing rather than what API can one use to make foo.
    No, that's not a possibility. The JLS explains exactly
    why this behavior occurs:
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/second_edition/html/
    tatements.doc.html#236365
    The reason that the second example compiles is so that
    you can have code that is conditionally compiled such
    as debugging statements. It's not bizarre at all, it's
    entirely pragmatic and practical.Yes, of course, makes sense. (Although the possibility of a compiler optimizing it out is flashed there.)

  • Odd SOAMANAGER behaviour

    Ok, I just managed to get my old Dell D610 replaced, but this new laptop has some odd behaviour with some Solman transactions.  I can get into Solman Web Workcenter no problem, but when I try to open SOAMANAGER, I get one blank IE8 window (looks like it's supposed to be hidden), and then a few seconds later a second normal looking IE8 window opens, with a partial URL.  This appears to be a problem with my local profile - I can log in to someone else's machine and it'll work, and a coworker can log into my laptop and it'll also work.
    This is the URL it directs the second window to.. https://<server>.<domain>.com/sap/public/myssocntl?sap-client=100
    whereas this is where it should be going.  https://<server.domain>.com/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/appl_soap_management?sap-client=100&sap-language=EN
    Anyone have any ideas here?  If I call my help desk they're going to be clueless on this one..  lol..
    thanks.

    Maybe you can rename your home folder in c:\documents and settings and login again - thereby recreating your local profile.

  • Odd JMS Behaviour

    With our application deployed to a client, we have been experiencing some odd behaviour with JMS in Oracle 10g (OC4J 9.0.4).
    The application posts multiple non-transactional messages (roughly 400-500Kb per message) to a queue, which an MDB processes correctly everywhere but the client site. At the client site, only the first message in retrieved from the queue by the MDB, as if to suggest the queue was only capable of holding one message and the other messages are not being added or are being dumped. No exceptions are being thrown, which isn't helpnig diagnose the problem.
    The client site has a similar environment to our internal dev/qa environments - Red Hat AS 3.0 server, v1.4.2 jvm, same OC4J and application config.
    Has anyone else experienced this kind of behaviour with JMS?

  • Odd gmail behaviour when using mail.app

    Hello there,
    Ever since upgrading to Mavericks, I've been experiencing odd behaviour when sending messages from my gmail account in mail.app. I send a message and up to ten copies of the message appear in mail.app's trash.
    Does anyone know what might be the cause of this?
    many thanks,
    Chidi

    this is a setting in gmail that interfer with mail.app
    the setting is that mail.app is that when you type a mail it will auto save it while you are typing. and gmail will delete the saved onece and the mail.app will create a new all the time
    duno how to turn this off, try by rebuilding the mailbox in mail.app

  • Odd gc behaviour?

    Hi,
    I'm working on a web application (Jetty, running inside JBoss 3.2.1, Redhat Linux, dual Xeon CPUs, hotspot 1.4.2_04 or sometimes 1.4.2_05) whose gc behaviour seems rather odd. I have been watching visualgc while the application is under load and have observed the following:
    Using the default collector:
    * I have turned off explicit GCs
    * Eden is about 400M and is collected whenever it fills up. Under the load test I've been looking at this occurs about every 30 seconds This collection occurs very quickly (normally a few milliseconds). There will normally be around 2M of garbage at the end of that collection which goes straight into the old generation (maybe via s0 and s1, depending on the settings I'm using)
    * The old generation is also about 400M. However, collections of the old generation happen almost every time that a collection Eden occurs, even though the old generation is very far from full. (In the test I've been looking it seems to have a "steady state" of around 100M). Collections of old take a relatively long time, normally around 1 or 2 seconds. This is an unacceptably long time for our application.
    This seems very odd to me as I wouldn't expect the old generation to be collected every time Eden fills up. For our application it would be perfectly acceptable for the old generation to fill up slowly each time Eden is collected, and then for one big GC to occur once that filled up (which would once every hour or two). But re-collecting the same bit of memory in the old generation twice a minute (at a couple of times per minute) is just no good. I don't understand why the old generation is collected whenever Eden is collected.
    I have tried the concurrent old-generation collector and this only made the problem worse. I also tried setting the old-generation threshold for the concurrent collector to 90% and this made no different - the old generation was still collected every time that Eden filled up.
    Strangely enough, when using the parallel (high throughput) collector for Eden, the problem almost went away. I say "almost" because although no collections occured in the old generation occurred until the old generation had filled completely, the very first old generation collection (which sent it back to its "natural" 100M ") seemed to send it back to its old habits: an old generation collection for every Eden collection.
    Does anybody have any idea what might be going on? Could there be something weird about our application? Am I missing some crucial GC option? Have I stumbled across a GC bug? Do I just not understand hwo this stuff all works?
    Any pointers much appreciated, thanks for your time.

    Hi,
    Thanks for responding.
    I started the vm with the following options:
    -Dsun.net.client.defaultConnectTimeout=15000 -Dsun.net.client.defaultReadTimeout=15000 -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:+UsePerfData -Xmn512m -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -XX:PermSize=64m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=0 -XX:+PrintHeapAtGC -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintTenuringDistribution
    (Note that I've set -XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=0 for this test so I could reproduce the problem more quickly. If I set it to something smaller then the problem still occurs, just less frequently).
    I've got loads and loads of output from the GC trace (I ran a load test on it) so I'll just include an excerpt containing some of the full GCs that I am not expecting. Watching the proceedings in visualgc, I noted that most of the GCs I've included below involved a collection of the old generation (for reasons I cannot fathom). However, they are not noted as "Full GC" in the trace. Any help in understanding this much appreciated:

  • Files Uploaded using Mapped Drive (UNC) to SharePoint Document library Putting a copy in Recycle Bin , odd SharePoint Behaviour

    Hello All,
    One of my client reported a strange behaviour.
    Client mapped SharePoint document library to local share(UNC, NetWork Map Drive). Opened MS Word on local machine ,saved it to the share on his local machine. The document is saved successfully to SharePoint document library. But at the same time he can
    see a file with same name in Recycle bin and the size of the document in Recycle bin is <1k.
    Does any one know whether it is expected behaviour, why SharePoint putting this 1k file in Recycle bin?
    I tried the same thing on my Dev Environment for both SharePoint 2010 and 2013, in both environments the behaviour is same as my client experience.
    I have seen in forums some other people also experiencing this odd behaviour, but no one knows why.
    any info on this much appreciated.
    Regards,
    Andrew

    Hi Andrew,
    i tried in my environment for 2010 and 2013. The issue doesn't occur.
    Here is what i did.
    1, Create a new mapped drive(\\servername\DavWWWRoot\Shared Documents) for document library
    2, New a Word doc and input some string, save in the mapped drive.
    3, The doc exists in the document library, but no file in Recycle Bin.
    Did i miss something?
    Regards,
    Tom

  • Odd display behaviour

    I just had something odd happen to my macbook display and I'm wondering if it's a defect in Leopard, the display hardware or some weird interplay between my programs.
    I had nine open applications at the time: firefox, thunderbird, terminal, finder, preview, aquamacs, active timer, slife and MS word for mac. While I was reading a pdf in preview, i noticed a small light pink circle (only noticable against the bright white empty margin of the pdf paper I was reading), about 1 cm in diameter. At first I thought it was a smudge on the screen (from what, I don't know), because when i scrolled it stayed put. so i tried to wipe it away, and then I realized it wasn't on the surface of the screen. It also remained when I switched into firefox and there was white background on the webpage that was up. Then, when I switched into thunderbird, where there is a blue tinted background to the folder tree, the pinkish circle disappeared, and in it's place was a tiny white rectangle, about 2mm by 3mm.
    At first I worried it was a dead pixel spot on my display, since it seemed to remain in the same place no matter which programs I switched into, unless it was covered with a white spot (then it reverted back to a pinkish circle). I put my macbook to sleep and woke it up again (hoping it would reset my display). I was just contemplating rebooting my macbook when I noticed the tiny rectangle "jump". It jumped about an inch everytime my mouse cursor got near it. After jumping several times (while I tried to click on it) it eventually disappeared altogether, and I haven't seen it in the past hour or so.
    I'm new to mac, but I've been using PCs for a while, and were this a pc, I'd be immediately convinced I had a virus. But I understand that macs are not subject to most if not all viruses. So, does anyone know what might have just happened to me?

    Cisco has finally figured out the issue.
    The problem was in description tag there was an ampersand sign "R&D1" and "R&D2" when we removed it the phones started working fine.
    I feel like I'm Cisco's beta tester on a daily basis. These are mature devices running on mature software, how do things like this slip through there cracks?!

  • Odd hyperlink behaviour in Firefox

    I wonder if anyone else is experiencing problems with hyperlinks in webhelp running on Firefox?
    I have created a new webhelp system - nothing clever such as merging - just 70 or so topics.The help contains hyperlinks to other topics in the webhelp - these are left to page default (the intention being that they should open and replace the current page).
    I have published the help to my C drive and am running it from there. When I select a link to another topic, the target topic opens for a second, then the help jumps to the parent folder for that topic. I just tried another webhelp system that I created a week ago (and was fine then) and it shows the same behaviour.
    When I do exactly the same in IE, it works as expected.
    I'm using Robohelp 7, Firefox 3.6 (it was the same with Firefox 3.5.7 so  I tried upgrading) and Vista (though I tried on a Mac and it's the same, so I've ruled out an operating system quirk).
    I'm guessing this is down to a recent Firefox update...or have I just done something daft?

    Well, curious indeed! It now seems to be fixed.
    The sample file was fine, so that put paid to my Firefox ranting.
    I was checking the generate settings for anything that might be relevant, and noticed that it was set to synch TOC automatically. I changed this to synch manually and published again - it worked fine in Firefox. I then set it back to synch automatically and generated again, and it is still fine.
    I then repeated the above with an older webhelp system that was OK last week but not today, and it seems to have fixed that too.
    Thus my highly technical conclusion is that the TOC got its knickers in a twist.
    Many thanks for your help Peter - I now have the sample files in case of future turmoil...

  • Odd folder behaviour in Mail 2.0.7

    Hi,
    Mail's been behaving oddly lately ... though I've repaired permissions after every install/upgrade etc.. Wonder if anyone had any ideas about this ...
    I have a lot of folders and sub-folders for various clients and other junk as I really don't like an inbox with hundreds of mails to sift through. Much easier for me to separate them out.
    However sometimes folders just disappear temporarily. Quitting mail then re-opening it always brings them back.
    Most often it's 'drafts' or 'outbox' that goes AWOL but sometimes it's one of the folders I've set up. I've just double checked the whole thing and I've not got a lot of data, certainly no where near the 2gb mailbox limit I read about somewhere else.
    Clues? Suggestions? Is it broke?!?
    Thanks ...
    Greg

    Greg,
    With the legacy of prior versions of Mail, and the enhancement applications, there is a good bit of potential for unexpected problems. However, none of those "potentials" come immediately to mind for this problem. However, with Mail 2.0, there is a completely new structure, and approach to indexing everything. The presence of left over files, with is common, can complicate the health of the index, as also might any non-current structure of the Mail folder.
    In the Mail folder, there should be one or more account folders (depending on the number of accounts) and you have mentioned at least two. In the Finder, open Home/Library/Mail and observe. Your NTL POP account and the Gmail account should each have a POP folder. Within each POP folder, will be some files for administration, and also folders named INBOX.mbox, Sent Messages.mbox, Drafts.mbox, Deleted Messages.mbox, and if using Junk filtering in Automatic, a Junk.mbox. Do you find this to be the case. The POP folder should be at the first level of the Mail folder, and subordinate to any other folder hierarchy.
    Also, at the first level of the Mail folder, you will find the Mailboxes folder -- in the Mailboxes folder should be found the Outbox.mbox, and any xxxxx.mbox folders for any mailboxes you have created. These xxxx.mbox folders may be within other folders, and not. Do you find this organization in place? By any chance, do you find any folders named Personal within the Mail folder?
    With regard to leftover files, that can be quite problematic, let me include the following:
    Since your mailboxes, or at least some of them, originated in Panther (and earlier), I want you to read the article at the link below, and get back to me with some observations, before attempting any changes:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301315
    This issue of leftover files applies not only to mailboxes you have previously created (which are in the Mailboxes folder the article mentioned) but can also apply to those mailboxes in account folders created prior to the upgrade to Tiger.
    Also, you may want to report the size of each file or folder found within a typical mailbox such as INBOX.mbox and particularly Drafts.mbox. Do not, however, try to list the files that are within the folders named Messages, that are found in each and every mailbox. If conversion was fairly recent then it may be very important to compare the size of any file named "mbox" with that of the Messages folder. If the mbox is greater in size than the Messages folder, then not all messages have been converted to be in the Messages folder.
    Once again, the path to the Mail folder is Home/Library/Mail -- within the Mail folder are one or more account folders and the Mailboxes folder. In addition, with Mail 2.0, there is a file named Envelope Index at the first level of the Mail folder. This new universal index supplants the separate index file once found in each mailbox -- it health may be impacted by the leftover files, if any.
    More info, please.

  • J2sdk 1.4.1 Subject.doAs() odd (?) behaviour.

    I browsed through the forums and it seems like several other people have noticed the same, but nobody has explained it. See threads:
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=61&thread=302862
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=61&thread=319049
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=61&thread=356383
    In my opinion, all these threads discuss the same thing.
    The description is following:
    i) If I call Subject.doAs(subj, new myaction()) within class "A" with classes "A" and myaction from the same codesource, then the subject IS NOT associated with the call.
    ii) If I call Subject.doAs(subj, new myaction()) within class "A" with classes "A" and myaction from DIFFERENT codesources, then the subject IS associated with the call.
    Note that the behaviour of the Subject.doAsprivileged is the same in both of the situations, i) and ii).
    My opinion is that the subject should be associated with the call also in case i). And, if I understood the explanation of the doAs method in http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/guide/security/jaas/JAASRefGuide.html, thats the way it should be.
    Could someone explain this? I just don't get it.
    In the above threads there are discussion about permissions, but actually this problem has nothing to do with them. (Except that when the subject is not associated, then the permissions granted to the principals in the subject are not available.)
    Then, another question:
    Why doesn't the ProtectionDomain class override the equals() -method?

    I made a few tests and it seems like that the reason for this behaviour is in the "combine" and "optimize" -methods of the javax.security.auth.SubjectDomainCombiner.
    The situation in my test programs, which I used to create the situations i) and ii) referred in the first post, was such that the AccessControlContext calls the SubjectDomainCombiners combine -method with the first and second argument being the same.
    Now, the SubjectDomainCombiners combine -method has an optimization that when these two arguments have common ProtectionDomains (and in this case they both have one ProtectionDomain, which is the same one in both) then the common domain is not constructed with the Subjects Principals.
    I think that this conflicts with the API description for SubjectDomainCombiners combine -method although it says that "Note that optimizations such as the removal of duplicate ProtectionDomains may have occurred.".
    Could someone confirm this result?
    Is this a "feature" or bug or am I just totally lost here?
    ps. In order to replicate the result described in the first post, the class "A" should be called directly from main and it should belong to the same protectiondomain as main.
