Annoying baloon pops up after text selection

I often read longer internet text in a way to select/higlight small portions of text (it is much easier for eyes). After updating on firefox 24.2.0, selecting any text makes small baloon pops up on end of selection, and cover some words...
Baloon has 4 search items: duckduck, google, wiki and canyon.
I can not find way to disable this baloon, but it is really annoying for me. Please help me.
thx

Hello,
It seems you're running Firefox version 24.2.0. You should update to the latest version which is 29.0.1
Follow the link below to update.
[http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ Download Firefox]
Once you've updated,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

Which event dispatched after text selection done on spark text area in Apple iPad using Adobe Flex 4

I need to know which event triggered after text selection done in Apple iPad. This way i have done in desktop air app code (mouse events)
protected function txtEditor_mouseUpHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
            if(txtEditor.selectionAnchorPosition != txtEditor.selectionActivePosition){
                showNoteToolBar(event);
                txtEditor.focusEnabled = true;
                txtEditor.setFocus();
But in Apple iPad how to achieve through "Touch Event" ? And also i need how to hide all context menu on Spaek TextArea?. Why Touch.End event is not fired after place cursor on text area ?
Please help me !

Ok, so I finally got it working but this is not ideal at all. Adobe really needs to give us some direction on how to properly deal with font embedding and TLF now that the release build breaks all functionality with loading runtime fonts and TLF.
Problem:
I am embedding collections of fonts (faces) into single family classes. Each individual face is registered with Font.registerFont(). I need to do this because I have to have mixed fonts within text flows - at least according to Alex H's recent blog post.
Fonts do not display in TLF without doing the following:
1. GlobalSettings.resolveFontLookupFunction = null;
2. editor.textFlow.flowComposer.swfContext = ISWFContext(this.getFontContext("AnyFamilyNameFromAnyFontEmbedded", false, false, FontLookup.EMBEDDED_CFF));
3. Instead of #2, use editor.textFlow.invalidateAllFormats();
Either #2 or #3 need to be performed. If I have a spark richEditableText control in MXML with defined familes from the loaded fonts. I even tried placing the control into a separate state so it wasn't created until after the fonts were loaded... I still needed to invalidate the formats or set the context.
The "AnyFamilyNameFromAnyFontEmbedded" does not need to be all of the embedded family names. It only needs to be one of them. Once one is used, all embedded fonts work. Also, I have to use the internal namespace to even get access to getFontContext, another oddity that, in my humble opinion, should never be necessary to create mixed style TLF content.
My questions are then:
1. Why am I required to use ISWFContext if I am using Font.registerFont()?
2. Why is GlobalSettings.resolveFontLookupFunction = null; also required for this to work?
3. What is the recommended workflow to embed fonts from multiple SWF files into the release build and have it work without having to jump through all these hoops?

Texting on iPhone 5. When texting to multiple people why does the contact list return to the "A"s after you select a contact and try to add the next one in order?

Texting on iPhone 5. When texting to multiple people why does the contact list return to the "A"s after you select a contact and try to add the next one in order? This really slows you down when trying to contact 50 people with information. iPhone 4 worked just fine. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

None of my pictures that I uploaded into iPhoto are in my Finder under Pictures. Should I copy and paste my folders from iPhoto into here, in case something happens to my iPhoto program (in addition to backing them up onto an external hard drive like I already do)?
No, that's just wasting space. A back up needs to be on a different disk.
Your photos are within the iPhoto Library.

"Copy" does not pop up after selecting

About half the time, when I need to copy something in an email message, the option does not pop up. I select the text that I want, but the bar that lets you select Copy, Cut, Paste, etc., doesn't come up.
When this happens, is there anything I can do? I have already done a reset and a hard reset to see if that would make a difference, but no luck. And the selection can be anything. For example, just now I wrote a long message and before I send it, I want to make a copy of what I wrote. I selected the text but nothing popped up so I can't do anything with the selection. This is a clean message...there are no photos or a string of messages, etc.
Thanks.

You have done a reset. What does that mean? Did you reset all settings?
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings. You will have to enter all device settings again.

Text Selection Hangs Since iOS 5.1.1 Update

I have an iPhone 4 32GB on the AT&T network.
Updated it to iOS 5.1.1 about two weeks ago.
Since the update multiple applications (Apple and 3rd Party) have been showing this behavior:
1) Click in a text entry or text area form field,
2) Begin typing text,
3) Touch anywhere in the field to bring up the monicle selection caret,
4) The monical selection caret is shown and I can move the monical/caret around the screen,
5) Un-touch the screen,
6) ERROR - The monicle and the selection caret don't respond to user touch input and the app/OS hang for anywhere from 5 to 15 seconds,
7) The standard "Select | Select All | ..." context pop-up window is shown, after that the app/system are responsive again.
Regarding the ERROR at step 6) above: Clicking Home does nothing, turning on/off with top-button does nothing, force shutdown responds only after the monicle/caret selector un-hangs.
Once this has happened in a given text field/text area, it doesn't happen again on a subsequent text selection touch event... UNLESS I sleep the device, wake the device on the same app/field and try to select again... then it hangs again.
To note, while it's hanging the loading-spinner is displayed in the title bar next to the AT&T 3G/Wifi Antenna icons, suggesting something in the background is doing a network search that's locking then entire foreground process.
I've attempted to:
1) hard reset the device,
2) restore from a backup of 5.1 (doesn't have the aforementioned problem) and reinstall the 5.1.1 update (has the problem)
3) swear at it and curse Steve Job's mock-turtleneck for allowing such a peice of **** bug to exist (even if it's not his fault ex post homine)
Any further help would be great... I may end up downgrading to 5.1 just to not have to deal with this perpetual headache.
Thanks,
Etienne

I'm having the same issue. Phone started to degrade after update to 5.1.1 I have restarted, reset and restored from backup. I haven't tried to restore as new, as I'm not sure what the impact will be in my need to reset my corporate exchange e-mail, etc.
I see from many posts on other boards this is not isolated and is impacting many users. I'm using verizon as a the cell carrier.
My phone is warm and eating battery at a rate of 10% per half an hour in standby mode. No new apps or anything else of that nature.

SharePoint 2013 RTE Custom Styles lost on Team Site Wiki Page after you select a control in the editor

I have a weird issue in that I have custom RTE styles working fine in publishing pages, but in the team site wiki page, when you first go into edit mode you see your styles, but if you highlight some text, select say the font drop down to expand it and then
select it again to contract it (i.e. without selecting a font), all of a sudden all of the custom styles are lost and everything reverts back to the default RTE styles.
In my master page I am running the following script to force my styles to be loaded.
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(
function() {
     $(
"div[RteRedirect]").each(function()
varid = $(this).attr("RteRedirect"),
         editSettings = $(
"#"+ id);
if(editSettings.length > 0 &&
editSettings[0].PrefixStyleSheet != 'custom-rte')
             editSettings[0][
'PrefixStyleSheet'] =
'custom-rte';
             editSettings[0][
'StyleSheet'] =
'\u002f_layouts\u002f15\u002fFiveP\u002frteStyles.css';
             RTE.Canvas.fixRegion(id,
false);
"sp.ribbon.js");
See below screenshots (note Heading 2 is orange).
After you collapse the font menu, you see that the orange H2 has disappeared, and selecting the font drop down again now shows all of the default SharePoint RTE styles.
I haven't been able to capture the Event that is being called using the debugger. Any ideas how to fix this?

"resolving alias to" message using aliases on 10.6.8 plus slow text-selection behavior

Recently after no particular change to my Mac Pro3,2 running 10.6.8 other than some routine software updates, whenever I open an alias on my desktop to standard folders or files, a message shows up "Resolving alias to" whatever the alias name and there's a 2-3 second delay before the folder/file opens. I've found discussion of this issue in some archived discussions but never found a comfirmed solution described, so I'm raising this again. As in others' encounter with this behavior, the slow opening of aliases happens (1) only in my own user account, not in a guest account I set up for test purposes [I have no other user accounts than these], and (2) only happens the FIRST time I open an alias. Subsequent uses of the alias work normally.
Another strange but possibly related behavior that began at the same time as this alias delay is harder to describe but involves a problem when selecting text using mouse clicks or even highlighting with the mouse for editing. For example, to edit the name of a file or folder on my desktop, I would normally click on the file/folder name, pause a moment and click again: this puts me in edit mode with the current file/folder name highlighted/selected. Now when I attempt this procedure, the second time I click immediately opens the file/folder, as though I had double-clicked rather than clicked+paused+clicked. The only way I can select the name of the file/folder to edit it is to click+long pause (like 3 seconds)+click. Then the text is selected as desired. It's as though the clicks are being recognized (by whatever in the OS recognizes clicks) as much faster than actually made. There is a similar problem in any program I use that permits text editing, whether Word (Office 2011 for Mac), TextEdit, etc. I have to consciously slow down my cursor/click behavior when selecting text. If not, my actions are misinterpreted as double clicks. This text selection behavior also disappears when using a "Guest" user account, only appearing in my own user account. I Using a different mouse has no effect.
Steps taken so far. I've Repaired Disk Permissions and Verified Disk using Disk Utility, have Safe Booted, and have turned off all login items in my user account,and recently installed the 10.6.8 supplemental update, all to no avail. Any suggestions or has anyone had and solved this/these problems?

I think my problem has been that in Sytem Preferences>Mouse, my "Double-Click Speed" was set to the SLOWEST setting. After some experimentation, I now have the that setting two notches from the "Fast" end of the scale. In case it's important, the "Primary mouse button" in my Preferences is set to "Left".
This not only solves the text selection issues described, but also seems to eliminate the strange "resolving alias to" problem.
[For the curious, I have a Logitech Performance MX wireless mouse which can be configured with "Logitech Control Center". But the LCC software doesn't control double-click speed; this setting can only be made in the Mouse System Preference pane.]

Keyboard shortcuts for text selection not working in Flash CC

In the new Code Editor in Flash CC running on Mac OS X, most standard Keyboard Shortcuts for traversing through the text work as expected (as the Operating System works globally) but there is one that doesn't and it's I think the most important one.
Hitting "OPTION + SHIFT + [right or left arrow keys]" to select words doesn't work. Hitting "OPTION + [right or left arrow keys]" works as expected, moving the cursor to the next word or break point, but adding shift doesn't do the selection.
I don't understand why this changed since it's a basic OS global shortcuts, and every other program behaves the way it should. Flash CS6 running on the same system behaves fine, but Flash CC doesn't. If you have ever written code, you know that any second that a programmers hand doesn't have to leave the keyboard to search for the mouse is invaluable, and this has forced me to stop using Flash CC and use Flash CS6 to edit my Action Script classes becuase it's unusable otherwise.
These shortcuts are also not listed in the keyboard shortcuts for the program, so I can't change the default behavior. Does anybody know if there's a way to set it back to the way it was before, or just disable special text shortcuts so that selecting text behaves like any other application in the operating system?

Amy~ Yep the lasso tool was what I verified with another user. 'L' seems to be bound indefinitely to loop through different types of lasso tools and it was annoying them because they just wanted L to be the regular freehand lasso. I removed 'L' from being an option on the polygon lasso and even set it explicitly to SHIFT+L as well as set the lasso tool to a completely different keyboard combo. 'L' still cycled through lassos haha. It needs some fixes.
fertolg~ At least you have a workaround for now. I'd go nuts if I couldn't use keyboard text selection writing code, oy! You're welcome and if you're all set please mark correct so we can filter unanswered. Good luck!

Text-selection mechanism all screwed up in KeyNote 6.2

Trying to select text with shift + arrowkeys, or shift + alt + arrowkeys, is all screwed up in KeyNote 6.2 (OS X). The text selection often jumps forward in an erratic manner (much too far ahead than usual, often skips entire words).
Trying to de-select text using the arrowkeys, also produces unexpected results. Sometimes the cursor even automagically skips ahead one character position.
Personally, this bugs the @@@@ out of me when trying to type text. And often I even loose important parts of my texts entirely.

Try this Keynote repair, ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
1 delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application
2 restart the Mac;   Apple menu > restart
3 immediately after the start chime, press the shift key until you see the Apple symbol.
         let it fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
4 when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and      click repair disc permissions
5 when complete, restart the Mac normally
6 install Keynote from the Mac App Store

Skipping to the top of the document when text selection tool selected

This may be difficult to explain. But often after I click in the toolbar to switch over to a specific Adobe document (in windows 7) that I previously opened and that is open to a page other than page 1 and with the text select tool has been selected, if I click into the text on the page (say page 4) and then scroll down with the mouse wheel to get to page five, the program will jump back to the beginning of page 1. (display is set at single page - fit page). I like Acrobat very much, but I find this to be extremely irritating and wasteful when trying to select text from and navigate a large document. Can you please tell me why this occurs?

Mari,
We're here to try to help you; we get some satisfaction out of helping folks to get along with their Apple Pages software. If you just take this one step at a time, I'm sure we can sort it out.
Thanks for clearing up what your primary issue is. You had Fruhulda all confused with your complaint about printing. I sort of glossed over the printing issue because you seemed to be more focused on the formatting.
Please re-read my first post - the part about the Format Bar being contextual - and let's go from there.

Why does the menu option change to "save as" after I select the print button?

why does the menu option change to "save as" after I select the print button?

>>The print command is selected in the File pull down menu, the print menu page pops up, I can then select my networked printer (which incidentally is confirmed to work with other software), the print command is in the bottom right hand corner and finally after depressing this print button a "save as" pop-up menu appears and then it only re-saves the file. Is this an issue with the pdf reader install?
