Annoying guides bug

CS4: Occasionally when I drag a guide over from the ruler, I get a lot of guides, trailing behind, like ghost guides. They aren't really there so clicking on them to delete them doesn't work. Zooming in or out does clear them. It just started happening and I haven't changed anything as far as I know.
This has happened before, years ago, using Pagemaker (different computer) and it drove me nuts. What can I do to stop it?

I see that my crappy monitor has some bearing on this problem... and yes, I did switch monitors at one point.
Envision H170L
100-240V~60/50 Hz 12A
suggested resolution 1280x1024 which is what I have the system prefs set at but I am usually working at 135% view to get WYSIWYG

  • Anyone notice the Smart Guides bug in CS5?

    ID CS5 has a Smart Guides bug when resizing frames to match the size of other frames.  When releasing the mouse after the Smart Guides pop up showing the sizes are equal the frame size changes.  When analyzing this it appears the frame does not resize to where the SmartGuides popped up but where the cursor is located.  There is also jumpiness between the position of cursor and where the Smart Guides pop up.  This behavior occurs vertically and horizontally.  While some jumpiness still exist, it works reliably when frames are aligned.  In other words, if a frame is resized to a point where two sides are aligned then the size of the frame does not change when the mouse is released.
    I have verified the bug in both Windows and Mac versions of IDCS5.
    None of the behavior exist with Smart Guides in ID CS4.
    Is anyone else experiencing this behavior?

    Thanks for checking Peter.
    I am using a laptop, Mac OSX 10.5.8, with ATI Radeon X1600.  The issue still existed wtih my Wacom tablet mouse and a Logitech mouse.  I also just uninstalled the program and reinstalled it and the issue still existed.
    This issue also exists on an iMac with Windows 7 running ID CS5 for Windows.
    Are you using a Mac by any chance?  The issue does not exist so much when the frames are aligned.  So, if you are trying it out and Smart Guides creates a line connecting the two frames you need to move them out of alignment.  Also, if your cursor is dead center over the edge of the frame all is ok.  What it's really doing is snapping to where the cursor is and not to where the Smart Guides popped up.  I'll be really surprised if you're not seeing it with a Mac.

  • Smart Guides Bug??

    I've been struggling with Tech support since May 22 over the problem with Smart guide not working in Illustrator CS6. Support has recorded my system twice during Connect meetings poked around in my preferences and accomplished nothing. I've added screen shots to Case on the support portal hoping there is a solution but Tech support always emails saying they tried to contact me but were unable. Basicly Smart guides are not showing the dimensions in Illustrator CS6 and leaving a screen artifact. I've deleted the preferences as tech support suggested, reinstalled Illustrator CS6 as tech support suggested and nothing seems to fix the problem. Smart guide work with Illustrator CS5 and Photoshop CS6. Both are on the same system as Illustrator CS6. My question, anyone else have this problem? Is it a bug? Tech support always tries the same old "let me review your case" and then proceeds to do nothing.
    Using MacBook Pro 8 Gigs Mac OSX 10.7.4
    Illustrator CS6 No dimensions and gray screen artifact.
    Smart Guides working in Photoshop CS6
    Smart Guides working in Illustrator CS5
    Any ideas suggestions similar experiences?

    I'm having the same problem on my MacBook Pro 10.7.5. There's another thread on this at http://forums.adobe.com/message/4924146 but no one over there has a solution either. I've also filed a bug report on it, figuring the more people report the bug, the more likely they are to fix it. Here's the bug report page for anyone wishing to do the same: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
    I sure wish they would fix this, because it's very annoying to not have these measurements when you're doing precision work. It's been seven months since you reported this and apparently no one has addressed the issue.

  • Annoying font bug in EM

    Good morning,
    I am pretty sure this isn't the right place to report bugs but, since I do not have a Metalink account, hopefully someone that is an Oracle paying customer will do what I cannot.
    EM has a simple but very annoying bug: it does not use a fixed font to display the output logs (of a job for instance). This results in output like this: (which looks even worse as a post in the forum than it does in the EM window)
    >
    File Status Marked Corrupt Empty Blocks Blocks Examined High SCN
    1 OK 0 13301 88325 1458980
    >
    which gives the impression that there are 13301 corrupt blocks in the file examined (not the kind of thing a DBA wants to see). I doubt I have to point out how cumbersome reading this unformatted output is.
    However, using a fixed font, the very same output would look like this:
    File Status Marked Corrupt Empty Blocks Blocks Examined High SCN
    1    OK     0              13301        88325           1458980   which now shows that there are 13301 empty blocks (much better news than before). The problem, as we all know is, EM is using a proportional font when it should be using a fixed font such as Courier New.
    This trivial little bug substantially subtracts from the usefulness of EM to review logs.
    Thank you for reporting this to the powers that can make it right,
    John.

    Dear 440bx - 11gR2,
    Unfortunately i have no idea about the problem that you have experienced. However;

That is forbidden. Please see the user rights assigments of the Oracle. Metalink is a paid area and can only be used for those who have already paid the price.
    People here can only help you based on their previous experiences but they simply can not post, paste or share the articles of the Metalink.
    Please bear in mind for next time but i have the feeling that you already know that issue, don't you? :)

  • Annoying messages bug when using mass storage to s...

    As you all well know the c: drive on n97 is quite small. I have about +2000 messages on my phone and I use the 32gb mass storage to store all of my emails and sms's. 
    It works ok untill I connect my phone to pc using mass storage mode. The first thing it does is it says e: drive unavailable - using c: to store messages. Ok - that makes sense BUT the darn thing doesn't switch back to using e: drive when I unplug it from the computer. Instead I have to switch it back to e: manually (from sms settings and email settings). It's also impossible to move messages that I have received while using mass storage mode to the drive e:
    I really hope that nokia does sth about this matter. It's the single most annoying bug that this phone has.

    To answer a few questions here...
    The way the mass memory is broadcast to the computer when connected in PC Suite mode is called "OBEX". It's a kind of file transfer protocol. When it's connected in "mass storage" mode it uses an industry standard usb-storage protocol exactly like pen drives, external hard drives, external CD/DVD drives etc.
    The difference between the two is that in mass storage mode, the phone relinquishes control of the storage space and hands it over to the host computer. That way, the computer sees everything on that device and it also happens to be compatible with more or less every operating system under the sun. In PC Suite mode, the phone retains control of the storage space and decides what to let the computer "see". Directories that are crucial to the phone's operation, such as "private" and "system", are not shown to the computer. Added to that, the computer needs specific drivers to be able to use the OBEX protocol, and this excludes non-mainstream operating systems.
    As for being able or unable to transfer messages from one area to the other, the reason is fairly simple. Messages are stored in their own directory inside the "private" directory. If, for example, there's no such directory set up on E: when you want to choose that drive for storing messages, the phone considers that it has never been used for this and therefore asks you if you want to copy your messages from C: to E: so that they're still available to you once you switch over. If, OTOH, there is already a trace of E: having been used for storing messages (ie. if the messaging directory inside E:\Private does exist) then the phone considers that you might not want to clobber what's already there and doesn't offer to replace them with what's on C:.

  • Annoying iTunes bug

    I've come across an annoying bug with iTunes. This was introduced about 2 or 3 versions ago, and it still present in 7.5.
    If you press F2 to edit the name of a song inline and press the 'Delete' key (not backspace), this deletes the character in front of the cursor and completes the edit (as if you pressed return). It should not complete the edit!
    Has anyone else come across this problem? I'm using Windows XP. I'm not sure how to report this problem to Apple, but I'd like to see it fixed in a future version. It definitely worked about 3 or 4 versions ago.
    Cheers,
    Neil

    My iTunes does as you say, I never noticed it before. The problem does not occur when you edit in get info.
    There is a feedback form if you feel like telling Apple.

  • Unbelievably annoying iTunes bug STILL in iTunes 9 =(

    The ONE thing I was looking forward to most in iTunes 9 was a bug fix to a very, very annoying issue that I've sent in time and time and time again...... and the bug is still there!
    If you type in a search scope in the iTunes player, and use the mini player (previously by clicking the green + icon, now by selecting the Mini Player option under View - another problem I have with iTunes 9 but that's for a whole new topic), and then hit the forward (skip) button a few times... all of a sudden music from your entire library starts playing. The search field is cleared.
    How hard would this be to fix??? Come on, a big, revolutionary break through iTunes update and this crippling bug from iTunes 7 is still there?
    Yeesh.
    Anyone from Apple care to comment? I need a fix for this yesterday.......

    Anyone from Apple care to comment?
    Sorry, but Apple engineers do not participate here.

The search field is cleared.
    I just tried it and the problem did not occur for me. I did a search for a particular artist which turned up a list of 56 tracks, started the list playing, switched to the miniplayer, then clicked the skip button repeatedly. The search never cleared and the main library never appeared. So it doesn't appear to be a bug that affects all installations, anyway.
    Perhaps it's your library file that's at fault, not iTunes itself.

  • [x86_64] Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne annoying resolution bug

    Hi people
    I just reinstalled my Arch, was i686 and is now x86_64.
    Before the change, I had War3 Frozen Throne installed via Playonlinux and everything worked fine.
    But since the reinstall, I have this strange bug: when I launch the game and am in the menu, if I move my cursor to the right, the screen begins moving to the left as soon as it is near the menu, as if the resolution wasn't the one I see.
    I tried:
    - several resolutions, but nothing changes.
    - opengl option in the launcher, and the resolution is larger than the screen, so I understand why it moves to the left when I move my cursor further than the screen border. And if I choose a smaller resolution, it's as if it zommed in o_O
    - uninstall/reinstall of the game, last game patch or the install version (which is the download version from my battle.net account)
    Does anyone have an idea about what is going on ?

    hmm sounds like you have got the same issue like me:
    http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=68768
    i think the lib32 libs are broken, but thats my oppinion. i posted also in the german forums, but there is no solution for it yet. with gentoo 64bit, same configuration, i do not have this problem (so i am using gentoo now).
    please try the following:
    install a 32bit chroot, xorg + wine inside the chroot and run warcraft inside the chroot.
    are you using nvidia-drivers? which card do you have?

  • CS4 Rectangular Marqee & Guides Bugs Identified

    One of the first things I noticed upoin upgrading was that any rectangular marquee selection appears 1 pixel to the right of the pixel snap point. Interestingly, guides brought in with snap-to-pixel appear just to the left (x-plane) or above (y-plane). See below for some screen captures I refer to in my analysis:
    http://cstashuk.aristotle.net/cs4/
    GUIDES:
    When bringing in guides I was snapping-to-pixel and I even watched the Info dialog window showing I was snapped to the pixel location of 100, only to let go of the mouse button and see the guides "shifted slightly". The grey line that appears while you are moving/establishing the guide does however click to pixels as I am moving the mouse. See "ps_cs4_guides.gif" to make the point. These are guides brought in at 100 pixels on both the x and y axis. It shows the red guides shifted slightly which I suppose is not such a big deal, but why has this changed from ALL earlier versions. For someone who is trying to use guides to insure exact crpping, this is disappointing.
    RECTANGULAR MARQUEE:
    The other samples I posted show how snap-to-pixel rectangular marquee selections are off on the left side only (see samples 1-3). Note however that sample "ps_cs4_marquee_circular" which shows that the circular marquee successfully represents it left "x=0" location.
    I would love to know if anyone has solved these issues. Thanks in advance!!

    Ann,
    Check your Photoshop 11 Preferences > Performance > GPU Settings > Advanced Settings > GL Settings >
    Advanced Drawing
    This last box should be grayed out because you're running a PPC machine. It's certainly grayed out on my machine.
    Folks with Mac-Intel boxes have full access to all Advanced Drawing options, including a box for
    Use for Image Display.
    If they have that enabled, I can see it making some pretty heavy demands on the graphics card. Those of us running G4 and G5 boxes don't have to worry about that. ;)

  • Annoying firewire bug

    I've seen this bug since version 1.0, and it still hasn't been fixed as of 1.4.2 (and engineering does know about it). On my main MDC, whenever I mount a firewire drive, and then dismount it and power it off, xsan admin becomes unresponsive (getting information loop) when I try to connect to the MDC from any machine on the network. Only way to fix this is to reboot the MDC.
    Does anyone know of a way to reset the xsan admin processes without having to reboot the machine entirely?

  • PS CC 2014.1 annoying UI bug

    2014.1 seems to have introduced a UI bug in the form of a permanent thick blue button mode outline in save dialogs. 
    See this screenshot.
    Note the blue outline around "None".  This used to be much thinner, and should move to the various radio buttons upon hitting tab on the keyboard.  Hitting tab doesn't move it, nor does hitting tab select the next radio button.   It's stuck there.  This only seems to happen in Save dialogs.
    Running Mac OSX Mavericks 10.9.4.  This issue only appeared after updating CC a couple of days ago.

    It's a bug that was introduced with some changes we made under the hood. We opted to spend our time fixing the functional bugs that were also introduced, and this one didn't make the cut for this release since it's cosmetic and able to be turned off with a setting. It's in our bug database, though, so at least it's on our radar.
    As for full keyboard access, the info about it not being hooked up in Photoshop was passed along to me by a developer. Using the TIFF Options dialog as an example, I am not seeing any difference in tabbing behavior no matter which option I use for the Full Keyboard Access setting. There might be some other setting we have set differently. Do you have any other keyboard settings set to non-defaults?

  • Really Annoying Tag Bug

    For some time (before the 10.5.2 update) I've had an obnoxious bug in tag entry system-wide (and in places such as Address Book). I can enter the first tag just fine, but on the second the system begins to duplicate whatever I type (so if I was trying to type "hello" I would end up with "hhehelhelhellhello". This makes tagging things in apps such as Journler and Together difficult and editing my Address Book impossible. Anyone know how to fix it?

  • Really annoying headphone bug

    I realise that this isn't the right spot but I can't find anywhere else to post. I have a really irritating bug in the way Windowsphone treats headphones. If using headphones and you receive a text and say"read it", once you are finished the
    headphones don't work until you reboot. Instead it starts to blast out whatever you are listening to on the speakers, very irritating and embarrassing on a crowded train.

  • Annoying Mail Bug

    OK; I drag an image to my mail icon; drop it upon it; and it opens in a message ready to send. But another blank mail message window also opens up. This is getting annoying already. What could be causing it? Only addons I use are widescreen mail and dockstar
    thx

    Could be your mail preferences file. Unfortunately if you remove it so mail creates another one it will remove all your customized settings for Mail. However, if you're willing to try it, move the preferences file to a backup location (it's located in ~/Library/Preferences/ and is called "com.apple.Mail.plist") and restart Mail. It will ask you for your account information, but will maintain your mailbox organization after you provide the info.
    If that clears the problem then you know it was the old preferences file, but if not you can always close Mail and drag your old preferences file back to the library, overwriting the new one and restoring your old settings.
