Apex 4.2.1: Icon display mode bug

Minor but very annoying bug in 4.2.1. The App Builder application home page (4000:1) has a link in the right sidebar to choose Display Mode (Icons or plain text) for the 5 big buttons at the top (Run App, Supporting Objects, Shared Components, Utilities and Export/Import).
I prefer the Hide Icons setting and it is saved as a Per User preference and defaults to Icons so one would expect that once I set it to Hide Icons that's that.
But the Edit Page nn and Application nn links in the Developer toolbar on a rendered page are like f?p=4000:4150:953853045141::NO:*1*,4150... So they clear out the cache for page 1 and it resets to the default Icon view :-(
Could this please be fixed? I love the artwork and the quality of the icons but I really don't want it taking up so much screen real estate.
Thanks

Hi Vikas,
I have the issue as bug# 16095793.
BTW, are you sure that the value is normally saved as a user preference? Because I did a quick test, changed to Hide Icons, logged out and then logged in again and the Builder showed the icons again. Could also not find it in the code that the value is stored as a preference.

Excise invoice utilization pencil icon is showing non display mode

Hi Expert
when i create export invoice and when i create excise invoice with an go for utilization that pencil icon is showing in non display mode because if i want to change this bond,no bond, deemed export,Lou then it is not happening. I maintain configuration for that in default excise group and series group i maintained Export Under bond to specific sales area and excise group,series group and shipping point also.
but i cannot change to bond.no bond.Lou.and deemed export as per the requirement. if any solution please answer me asap

We cannot change this field from display to change. Once the excise invoice is captured the excise invoice number is freezed.
It is SAP Standard & to break this you would need the access key from SAP.
If the change in excise invoice number is by user mistake, please cancel the excise invocie and capture the new one.
Thanks & regards

Bugged display mode after cable switch

Im using the dvi-vga adapter supplied with the mini with my dell 2005fps. It has been working fine until I plugged in a DVI cable to check out the mini on my TV which has a DVI-in. It worked on the TV but after using that DVI cable the display only shows up correctly on my 2005fps when using a DVI cable.
When I use my VGA cable only the 1680x1050 display mode is bugged. 1600x1000 works like it supposed to but it dosnt fill the screen completely. And this isnt the only computer using the display, so yes I want to use the VGA cable.

Somehow changing those cables did somthing to my displays settings. I did a factory reset on my moniter and Im not having the problem anymore.
I did not make any changes to the moniter either before or durning the problem.

Bug: Target Display Mode + optical audio cable = black screen

Using Target Display Mode on my iMac 27" (late-2012) with my MacBook Air (mid-2013) always resulted in a black screen on the iMac.
Hardware used:
MacBook Air mid-2013 (Mac OS X 10.8.4)
iMac 27" late-2012 (Mac OS X 10.8.4)
Thunderbolt cable between MBA and iMac
optical audio cable in iMac (digital audio out through optical mini jack plug)
Now, enter Target Display Mode on the iMac keyboard (Cmd+F2).
Result: black screen on the iMac (MBA is okay, optical audio is okay)
Workaround: unplug optical audio cable before entering Target Display Mode. Plug in the optical digital audio out cable after TDM is working and all is fine.
I sent a bug report through the feedback form. Just posting here to save others the few hours I had to spend finding the cause and workaround!
-- Richard

Thank you!! Saved me a trip to the Genius Bar.
Confirmed: Bug also exists in the new 2013 iMac under Mavericks. Unplugging the optical cable before entering Target Display Mode solved the problem.

How to set "display mode" from external keyboard

I have an EliteBook 8570p in a docking station, with an external monitor and keyboard attached.
I typically have my display mode as "duplicate", with the same thing showing on both my laptop screen and external monitor. I use the external monitor as the main screen. This might be uncommon, but I prefer it this way. I've been working this way for quite a while.
I very recently started using MS PowerPoint 2013. Today I discovered an annoying bug with this combination. I was in "slideshow mode" for a pptx I was working on, and I pressed ESC to get back to editing the doc. What happened was that the external monitor just showed my background wallpaper, and the laptop screen showed the normal display, along with my background wallpaper. I then had to slide over to my laptop keyboard and press Fn-F4 and set it to "Duplicate", and that restored my external monitor display.
I'm definitely going to pursue this weird behavior with PowerPoint, but I'm going to assume out of the box that this will be difficult to change. What I'd like to get from this forum is simply a quicker way to restore the "Duplicate" display mode. Is there a keyboard shortcut I can use from my external keyboard to change the display mode? There's no "Fn" key.

Although I'd still like to get an answer to this, my original problem has been solved, as I was able to disable the feature in PowerPoint 2013 that mucked with my display mode (turn off "Use Presenter View").

No sound on iMac in target display mode

I've got a late 2009 27" iMac running Yosemite.
When I connect either my MBP (Yosemite, late 2011 15") or my wife's rMBP (Mavericks, 2012 15") to the iMac using a mini Display Port cable and switch the iMac to target display mode using Cmd-F2, sound no longer works.
Previously, when the iMac was running Mavericks, the laptops would route sound to the iMac via HDMI audio (I think) on the mDP cable and sound would be output via the iMac speakers or headphones attached to the iMac. Since upgrading the iMac to Yosemite, sound no longer plays.
This occurs regardless of the laptop OS, Mavericks or Yosemite. The sound icon on the laptop get greyed out and shows that it is going to the "Color LCD" but no sound is output via the iMac.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Humm... I might go TosLink between the iMac and the FastTrack and then run the USB connection to the MacBook Pro when your using it in Target Display Mode.
Or vise Versa, leave the USB connected to the iMac and use the TosLink connection for the MacBook Pro.

Unable to adjust backlight in target display mode

Hi. I am using my 27" iMac as a display on my windows computer and i can nolonger change the display brightness with F1/F2 on the imac keyboard.
After a bit of reading ive discovered that its a fault introduced in 10.6.8 that seems to not be addressed.
Does anyone know if a work around.
The imac is also getting rediculosly hot (unable to touch top of it) as the cpu is running 100% and the speakers do not work when in target display mode. as soon as i switch back with command+F2 cpu usage drops.
The imac is a 1st gen early 2010 model core 2 duo, 3.06ghz

I've tried rebooting, using a USB keyboard plugged into the iMac, every suggestion I can find on the forums, and every option I can think of and nothing works. Like merve0o0's, my iMac is also running very hot, but the brightness is the bigger problem for me. It was giving me a headache after a while. I even tried sunglasses.
I have found one workaround to what is pretty clearly a bug: a free app available in the Mac store called Dimmer than Dim. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dimmer-than-dim/id418816854?mt=12
It's a software solution, not a hardware solution, and it does compromise resolution a little because it dims the image, not the screen, but it works and makes the screen usable, at least for my needs (mostly Outlook, Excel and Powerpoint), until Apple gets around to fixing the bug.
I hope this helps.

Se54 view cluster (display mode)

Hello, I created a view cluster and call it within sm34 transaction.
So, some users need to change that view cluster and some do not need to edit.
But even if I press display button in sm34 I can see Display -> Change icon, How can I make this button invisible.
In general I need to get 2 transaction:
1st -- for editing view cluster
2nd -- for displaying.
Please ask if I expressed my problem not correct.
Thank You

Kernal
I dont know if your problem solved or you still looking solution. What i can think about is you dont need to create any view cluster for display only. You can create views for that with display properties. Or if you need VC then embedd these views there you shouldnot able to edit as these will be only in display mode.
Let me know if you got any other solution.

No backlight in Target Display Mode on 2012 27" iMac

I am trying to use my new 2012 iMac 27" as an external display for my mid 2011 Mac Mini with Target Display Mode. At first it seems like it's not working when switching as I hit Command + F2 and the screen changes to black. But after shining a flashlight onto the monitor I can see the desktop and dock of my Mac Mini operating system. Mouse control and everything else works, it's just the backlight doesn't light up when connected to the Mac Mini. But hitting Command + F2 again brings it back to the iMac and a normal functioning backlight.
I'm assuming this is a bug in the new iMac because I had a late 2011 iMac 27" (previous generation) hooked up to this same Mac Mini and Target Display Mode worked perfectly between the two. It was even the same exact Thunderbolt cable. I have re-tested the Mac Mini and plugged it into another monitor with a DVI to Mini Display port adapter and it has worked fine. Has anybody else experienced this behavior?

HI - i had this problem too. see my previous post above. I spent weeks on the phone to apple support.
from memory:
1. I had to reinstall the OS (from a download) - but this failed to work
2. So... I had to perform a complete reinstall of the operating system (and wipe all user data)
3. and then restore all my user data.
Everything has worked seamlessly since then - which to me indicates it's a s/w problem and possibly one with something in my user profile? I just reliased I did not try and create a new user and try TDM using that. This would've proved it was a user profile problem or not.. I had one small ocassion where the screen went blank a week ago, but I just quickly pulled the TB cable out and put it back in again - and it was all ok.
So in essence I've been runing OK now since I did the reinstall and restored the user data.

Unable to control brightness in target display mode

I use my 27" mid2010 iMac as a display for my MacPro. However after the Mac OS X recent update to 10.6.8, I noticed I am unable to control the screen brightness. Usually, I was able to do so using the iMac keyboard to adjust brightness etc. but now they do not respond in Target Display Mode. The brightness adjustment do respond if I am using the iMac but not anymore in Target Display Mode. This is a little frustrating as the screen is really bright and is hurting my eyes.

Same here. Late 2009 iMac 27". This must be a bug. (Apple: please fix this, thanks!)
As a temporary solution I installed one of the brightness control apps you can find in the App store.
I used Midnight from Ollix, searching for 'brightness' in the app store reveals some more.
<note: controlling brightness this way affects colors and is no REAL fix, just makes your eyes hurt less until the bug is fixed>

Icons display as dotted line box

My first post to the community. Please be gentle.
When I access my Documents or Downloads folder from the dock, the individual files are displayed as a dotted line box rather than the icon preview of the file. If I access the Documents or Downloads folder using Finder, the icons display as expected (miniature version of the picture, .pdf, document, etc). For the life of me, I can't figure out why this is or how to correct it.
Not a big issue, but it is really bugging me that I can't figure it out. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi
Once you define the relation ship goto ppos_old and see the structure. After you got the structure of the org unit then click on the staff assignments and look for the position to which you have specified the relation. And go for the reporting structure under the main menu-> Goto-> Reporting structure then you can see the relation ship between the persons but you wont see it as a dotted line its normal line which you can see.

How to Set Checkbox of ALV Grid Dark on Display Mode

    ABAP experts, I want to switch between display mode and edit mode for some columns of ALV Grid. So I set "LVC_S_FCAT-EDIT" "X" for the columns which need to switch mode, and use method "SET_READY_FOR_INPUT" to switch.
    Currently, the function of switch mode has been achieved. But icons of checkbox columns are light but not dark when display mode, although the columns can't be edited. (Please refer to the image below.) I want to make checkbox columns dark as other columns on display mode.
    I tried to use "CL_GUI_ALV_GRID=>MC_STYLE_ENABLED" and "CL_GUI_ALV_GRID=>MC_STYLE_DISABLED", but failed. I also studied sample program "BCALV_EDIT_05" which is related to checkbox in ALV Grid, and compared my program with this program. But I still have not found problems.

How to prevent PowerPoint 2013 from mucking with my laptop display mode?

I have an EliteBook 8570p in a docking station, with an external monitor and keyboard attached.
I typically have my display mode as "duplicate", with the same thing showing on both my laptop screen and external monitor. I use the external monitor as the main screen. This might be uncommon, but I prefer it this way. I've
been working this way for quite a while.
I very recently started using MS PowerPoint 2013. Today I discovered an annoying bug (feature?) with this combination. I was in "slideshow mode" for a pptx I was working on, and I pressed ESC to get back to editing the doc. What
happened was that the external monitor just showed my background wallpaper, and the laptop screen showed the normal display, along with my background wallpaper. I then had to slide over to my laptop keyboard and press Fn-F4 and set it to "Duplicate",
and that restored my external monitor display.
I don't like this behavior. I also noticed that when I go into slideshow mode, the display on the laptop screen is different from what I see on the external monitor. It looks like it's showing an "intelligent" view of the slideshow, with
a big panel showing the current page, and the next page in a smaller panel. That's interesting, but I don't want it to do that if I'm in "Duplicate" display mode.
Is there a way to get the "older" behavior from PowerPoint 2013?

Thanks Milan for the explanation.
And the mentioned option can be found by going to the "SLID SHOW" tab>"Monitors" section on the ribbon in PowerPoint 2013.
