Bizarre tabs behavior

After the 10.4.11 update Safari has had very bizarre tabs behavior.

The active image isn't showing, or shows up completely screwed up. I've tried reverting to Safari 2, which fixed the problem, but when reapplying the update the problem comes back. I've tried every magic script I know to repair the system.
I have no plug-ins whatsoever.
Any ideas?

Sorry, no ideas, but I have an odd situation, too. When working with multiple tabs, I click a link that opens a new window, but it doesn't open a new window. It opens in oldest tab with the header (and URL) of the old web page, but the body being the pop-up.
Go figure that one out!

How do I restore tab behavior back to the way it was in FF 3.5??

I just upgraded to FF 3.6.13, I generally wait to upgrade until any new bugs have been identified and corrected. In FF 3.5, when I opened a new tab from a link, the new tab appeared to the right of the current tab (NOT at the very end of the tab bar) and the focus STAYED ON THE CURRENT TAB. If I opened multiple new tabs, they each opened to the right of the previously opened new tab, as in <original tab sequence> Yahoo Facebook GMail MyBlog <New tab sequence after opening links> Yahoo Facebook NewFBLink1 NewFBLink2 NewFBLink3 NewFBLink4 GMail MyBlog, with the focus remaining on the CURRENT TAB (in this example Facebook, from which I was opening the links). In 3.6.13, the tabs SOMETIMES open to the right of the current tab, sometimes at the end of the tab bar, and no matter how I fiddle the settings, I cannot make them CONSISTENT. Have tried the extensions 'Tab Mix Plus' and 'New Tab at End' - these do not give me consistent behavior - sometimes they do as I wish, sometimes not. In addition, sometimes the focus stays on the current tab (which is what I want) - sometimes the focus changes to the new tab just opened, sometimes it stays on the current tab until I've opened 3 or 4 new tabs, then jumps to one of the new ones. In the 'options', I do NOT have 'when I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately' checked; yet sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. HOW do I achieve consistent behavior?? This is why I don't upgrade often. Very frustrating. I have not changed any plugins, other than trying Tab Mix Plus and New Tabs at End after upgrading to 3.6.13, once I realized that the tab behavior was not consistent. How can I go back to FF 3.5 ???

First of all, sometimes Extensions can interfere with one another. That '''''<u>MAY</u>''''' be the case with your using both Tab Mix Plus and New Tabs at End. They both have a function that you can set for where new tabs appear. TMP has options concerning focus on new tabs.
My suggestions are:
#Un-install New Tabs at End (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions, click New Tabs at End, click Uninstall, then exit and restart Firefox).
#*If using no other extension that affect where tabs appear (to the right of current tab or at end of all open tabs), a simple preference change can affect that change for you, <u>and you have one less extension to be concerned with</u>. I have also made this change as TMP did not have the Focus options to do this when the "new tab at end" feature first appeared or when I first started using the version of Firefox in which this feature appeared:
#*#Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and press the Enter key.
#*#*See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config
#*#If you see the warning, accept it (promise to be careful).
#*#Filter = browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent
#*#Look at the "Value" column ('''false'''=open at end, '''true'''=open after current tab); Value = true is the default.
#*#Double-click that preference to toggle the value from true to false, or false to true
#*#Restart Firefox (File > Restart Firefox)
#*#See: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2010/02/01/change-firefox-to-open-new-tab-at-far-right-end-of-tabbar-disable-insert-next-to-current-active-tab/
#Tab Mix Plus settings
#*Open the Tab Mix Plus Options (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions, click Tab Mix Plus, click Options)
#*Click on Events > Tab Opening
#*#Place a check mark before "Open new tabs next to current one"
#*#I have checked "Open other tabs next to current one"
#*##I have un-checked "Only if related to current tab"
#*##I have un-checked "Change opening order"
#*#I have checked "Open duplicated tabs next to original"
#*Click Events > Tab Focus
#*#If you ALWAYS want to stay on the current tab and let the new tabs open in the background, un-check everything. These selections will/should over-ride Tools > Options > Tabs, "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately"
See if the above changes give you the results you are seeking. Tab Mix Plus has lots of options. You may need to change one or two settings at a time until it behaves the way you desire. Keep track of the changes you make so that you can easily re-trace/re-set when the results are not what you want.

The new tab behavior is driving me nuts. It keeps re-centering on tabs nearest the start of the list when I move a tab. How do I change this?

I don't want to download an app. I would rather add a new string in about config or just change of the ones in there to false. It's making my work life rather difficult, to be forced to go all the way back to the end of my list after moving one tab just to have to do it again. I mean it's to the point where I might consider changing browsers if they had tab scroll bars.
Edit: At this point I will download any app. Please make this stupid feature stop.

The result of setting up that code will do exactly as you described: the tabs will be crowded together. I had not noticed any change in behaviour of Firefox with tabs because all the tabs are crowded together, so they cannot scroll, and I very seldom move tabs.

JTable Tab Behavior

Hi,
after some weeks learning swing, i am proud to finish my first project, which makes sense (not Apps like "Hello World"...).
I just got two problems left, which i need help for.
The first and more important problem is the tab behavior in a JTable.
The default behavior is that the focused cells change
Left-To-Right and then Top-To-Bottom
Is there a way to make the focus change
Top-To-Bottom and then Left-To-Right?
I tried a bit with a KexListener, but there must be a better solution...
private void table_keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
     if(e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_TAB) {
          table.setEditingRow(table.getEditingRow() + 1);
          table.setEditingColumn(table.getEditingColumn());
}Although there seem to be many topics adressing this problem in the forum, I couldn't really find an answer ;-(
The second problem, i can't solve on my own, is that JTable seems to handle UTF-16 in a wrong way (i cant' use the german umlaute ä ö ü Ä .... with a JTable
Niko

Works like a charm....
I also was able to fix the german Umlaute Problem (you should always set a LOCALE Variable in Gentoo Linux ;-)
Thanks,
Niko

Can't add artwork - bizarre iTunes behavior

Okay - this is bizarre - I imported an album into iTunes 9 (downloaded from the Artist's website). I added the artwork and changed the genre and number of tracks, but these changes only "stuck" to about 4 of the 19 tracks. No matter what I did, I couldn't add the artwork to the 15 tracks that needed it. And - interestingly - if I next/previoused through the tracks on the album, all of the values that I changed would revert to the original values the tracks had when they imported. It was almost as if iTunes couldn't change the ID3 tags in the mp3 files. (Well, I guess it really couldn't when it came down to it.)
I solved the problem by right-clicking all the tracks and selecting "Create MP3 verssion" - essentially duplicating the MP3 files. I was then able to successfully get my changes to "stick" to the new files. (And then I deleted the originals I imported.)
What is this strange strange behavior all about?

There are three common causes for this:
your media are in a format that doesn't accommodate embedded artwork - typically WAV files. To embed artwork you'll need to convert to another format - Apple Lossless or AIFF if you want to preserve lossless quality, AAC or MP3 otherwise.
your media files are read only - to fix this, use Windows Explorer to find the folder that contains your files, right-click and select Properties. On the General tab there's a check box labeled "Read-only" - if this is checked, or is grey (sometimes blue), click the box so that the flag is unchecked and the box is white. Click OK, and then OK again when the "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files" option selected. Now try adding the artwork again.
Windows permissions issues are preventing iTunes from updating your media files (there's some anecdotal evidence of a change in this behavior in iTunes 12). See turingtest2's notes on Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice on fixing this, then try adding the artwork again.

How to get JTable's default TAB behavior and apply it to another key ?

Is there any way to get Table's default behavior of one key say TAB & apply it to the another key say ENTER?
Means I want to disable JTable's default behavior of ENTER key & I want ENTER key should act like TAB.

Take a look at this.

Switching tab behavior in JTextArea

I think by default Multiline text areas in windows will tab to the next focusable component by pressing the tab button and will create a tab character within the text area by pressing ctrl-tab. JTextArea has the opposite behavior. Does anyone know how to make JTextArea have the default windows behavior? I've looked all over this site for two days and have tried many of the suggestions and many of my own ideas without being able to get this work. Please help if you can.

i do have a similar problem.
can u suggest me u r ideas.

Word wrapping: Tab behavior in TLF editor

Hi,
I have created an editor using TLF which has word-wrapping enabled. The editor also takes in the Tab key and places it at prober position. In case you insert Tab at the beginning of the line except for the first line then the TAB is inserted in the previous line and it does not get wrapped.
Is there any way in which I can acheive word wrapping for Tabs? I have observed similar behavior for SPACE as well.
Why is such a behavior in the both the cases?

We are using the TLF bundled with Flex 4.1.0.16076, latest production release. You can verify the problem here in this demo:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/textlayout/demos/
Type two lines, make sure they wrap. At the beginning of the second line press the tab key multiple times. The tabs will stack up on the end of the first line.
If this is fixed in a newer version of TLF, is it safe to use with flex 4.1?
Thanks,
Ryan

Would like tab behavior to be same as with IE when clicking on links in Bookmarks Toolbar

In IE, when I click on a Bookmarks Toolbar link, it opens that link in the tab in which I am currently working. In Firefox, however, it always opens a new tab. I would prefer having Firefox behave such that it only opens a new tab when I specifically instruct it to do so, or when a URL links to a page that would ordinarily open a new window (in which case I prefer it open a new tab instead -- and I found where =that= setting is but has no effect on my particular problem).
Note: I may have asked this before but I have either lost the information, or made the change once in my system and forgot about it. I'm setting up a newly-purchased laptop after my "old faithful" gave up the ghost after four long and satisfying years of service. I shall miss it greatly.

Hello Steve.
Firefox normal behavior is to open bookmarks in the current tab. You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

Bizarre app behavior after waking from Sleep Mode

My iMac Core Duo runs like a top. It is fast and quiet. I have no problems with applications, both Universal and PowerPC. I maintain it with everything that I suggest others do in posts.
But, there is this one strange quirkiness that I have put off mentioning because I kept hoping that each new OS X update would address the issue. It has to do with waking my Mac from sleep mode with it logged into my user account. Not every time, but most of the time, if I put my Mac to sleep or it goes to sleep from inactivity while it is logged into my user account, I experience strange application behaviors upon waking.
For example, upon awaking Mail.app will contact my .Mac account and download any new mail that has arrived. But, if I try to open any of this mail, instead of opening, Mail.app will open a new outgoing email addressed to whomever sent me the mail I tried to open. Quitting and restarting does not solve this problem. Other apps demonstrate similar bizarre behavior. To only way to solve the issue is to log out and back into my user account.
However, if I log out of my user account and then put the Mac to sleep from the Login Manager I don't experience this issue. So at night I always log out before putting the Mac to sleep.
Anyone else experiencing similar issues? Any ideas on solving this? Do you think it is a bug in Universal Mac OS X?

Sorry this isn't a solution, rather is a commiseration. Often after my iMac wakes from sleep mode it refuses to see my internet connection. I have to unplug and reset my DSL modem to force the computer to see that it exists.
It sounds like the problem might be related, does anyone have any brilliant suggestions?
Thanks,
Lonnie

Bizarre email behavior

After having successful Mail use for years I now have a strange problem. Mail fails to send my emails using my Cox ISP. I receive emails without any problems. I can send my emails through my gmail account. Here is where it gets weird. I did all of the usual remedies, resetting the SMC, resetting PRAM, and performing verify disk and repairing disk permissions without correcting Mail's behavior. This behavior continued about one more week then corrected itself and I regained Mail send through my Cox account.
After being 'nice' for about 12 days, the problem has returned and I can send only by my gmail account. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Another point of information. My iPad (iOS 5.1.1) Mail sends and receives email OK through my Cox ISP but I always get the message "The mail server 'pop.west.cox.net' is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings." Since I get and send all email without any problems, I just sigh and ignore it.
All of my device accounts have identical account info. I now have iFatigue.
On a better note, my iPhone (iOS 6.0.1) Mail performs properly as expected.

I wish I could help but I still live with the problem on my iMac. My iPhone (4S) has no problem but my iPad would not recognize the Cox accounts. I finally deleted the Cox email accounts and re-entered them. That worked for the iPad. Bizarre!
On the iMac, I apparently at random, I successful send email using either of my Cox email addresses, but usually Mail forces me choose my Gmail account to send. Again, bizarre!

Change keyboard tab behavior

This one is tough to search for, with so much duplicity of meaning in the words key, tab, navigate, etc.
I have a tabular form where the optimal way to navigate is to go down each column instead of across each row; i.e. when the tab key is pressed, I want the focus to change from the current cell to the cell in the same column but immediately below the current cell.
I looked at html tabindex, and I'm not sure how to make that work.
So: can tabindex be used to change the navigation behavior of the tab key? Or, is there another way to change the tab key behavior to go column by column instead of row by row?
TIA.
Rick.

Rick - I know that is possible (in theory) to trap the keystroke using JavaScript and replace it (or, do a focus() call or similar to move the focus to another element), but figuring out where you are in the table can get quite hairy.
To be honest, it's one of these things we've been meaning to implement on one of our apps (our issue is moving to the next element when the user presses ENTER), but haven't got round to yet.
I'd therefore be very interested to hear if you crack it (either using JS or some other method).
Cheers,
John.

Odd Tab Behavior in InDesign CS5

I've used CS2 for quite a few years now, but decided it was time to upgrade to CS5. Doing so in the middle of a big book layout project was PROBABLY not the best idea.
Essentially, I have laid out a document in this fashion:
The headings are set 0.0" to the left of the column
The body text is set to 0.05" from the left side of the column by using the indent marker on the left side of the tabs window. (The stacked double-arrow thing)
I have created a tab stop for paragraphs to begin at 0.15" from the left. I did this instead of a pragraph indent because I wish for the first paragraph to be flush with the left of the rest of the text.
This worked just fine under CS2, but when I open the document in CS5, the tab character mysteriously DOES NOT INDENT the text for no reason I can understand. Even more oddly, if I adjust the body text indent to another number, say, 0.0525", the tab indent miraculously works...but ONLY for the left hand column. The right hand column, even adjusted, will never show the indent.
Also, even if I set the tab stop to something ridulous, like 1", all it accomplishes is making the line of the paragraph with the tab indent really stranglely justified, like:
A word and spaces
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?
A screenshot of the issue: http://www.wiseturtle.com/InDesignTabs.gif
Thanks in advance,
Clay

There are occasional reports of oddities when converting legacy docs to CS5. Export from the original version to .inx and open that in CS5, save as a new file with a new name (don't overwrite the old files -- there's no way for you to go back) and build a new Book in CS5.
As far as the indents, the correct way to handle this would be to make edit the body paragraph style to lose the tab and use a first line indent (you can use the GREP expression ^\t to find leading tabs and replace with nothing in the GREP Find/Change iin CS5), then make a second style for the first paragraph based onthe body style, but without the fisrt line indent, then sect the next style for that to the body style.

Why is 2.1.3 causing bizarre adjustment behavior?

I just downloaded and installed 2.1.3. Soon after I tried to adjust an image; but as soon as I moved the shadow slider the image went all wild — white with green lines. I tried another image, and when I moved the highlight slider the same thing happened, and same with contrast. (No problems on PS.) These images are on a Compact Flash card previously downloaded where other images behaved normally during adjustment, so it is not card corruption. (Camera is Nikon D300)
Is this a known issue on v 2.1.3? Or is there something idiosyncratic going on here? I would be grateful for any advice. I do minimal adjustments and prefer to stay in Aperture.
Thanks, Susan

This is my first use of this thing and I can't figure out how to ask a question, so I'm not replying I'm
asking. I am experiencing bizarre responses to various sliders in the adjustment inspector, shadows,
contrast and others. I have had no problems like this since I got the system last June, importing only
raw digital images. However for the last two weeks I have been scanning b&w negatives at 6400 dpi
as tiff files, which it turns out are at least 60MB and often 120MB in size. All of the Aperture problems started since this. I do not understand this but I'm wondering if the size of the files is something
Aperture is not comfortable with? I'm getting half black or sudden all black screens, occasionally
colored constructions, and complete shutdowns requiring relaunching three or four times every couple of hours. Any response would be helpful. I really like Aperture and hope to solve this. Thank you.greg

4.0.3 Tab behavior a mess again...

as an update to this post: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10181063
i had concluded that tabs worked as expected when i rebooted and restarted safari a few times. turns out this is not the case. the situation is weird, as it now has defined parameters regarding when it happens.
as far as i can tell, the ability to close a tab within an open window via command-w is only available when not in the primary window. it appears to work well when i have multiple window open, and only in windows opened after the first one.
if i start up safari, open a few tabs of sites, and command-w, i get the warning about closing a window with multiple tabs. if i then open a new window, and within it a bunch of sites in tabs, it works as expected. closing each tab via command-w for each, including the final tab which at that point is just the window (assuming that you don't have the tab bar always visible).
this is very un-mac-like. i want to assume that it's a bug. anyone else experience this or able to reproduce the situation?
thanks,
- jeremy

No I hadn't and no I don't
However, I did just download and install the appropriate version of Saft for Safari 4 on Tiger and that seems to have cleared up the issue. Or, at the very least, hidden it.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Yours,
Neal
