Bridge CS6 tool tips are blocking the buttons!

When I try to change the layout view (grid, list, etc.) with the buttons on the bottom right, the tool tips appear and I'm not able to click through them. So, basically, when I hover over them, the tool tips are blocking me from doing it.
I look in Prefs for a Tool Tips checkbox and it's not checked right now, but they're still appearing, and still protecting the buttons from being clicked.
Anyone know how to turn them off?
And I have to say this is the most ridiculous problem I ever had with a program. Kinda funny.

I still don't think it's the right checkbox to deactivate interface tool tips as it's in the "Thumbnails" sections of prefs. (And when I switch that on I get tool tips for thumbnails, when I switch it off I do not get tool tips for thumbnails. But the interface tool tips are always consistent.)
Well, I'm again afraid. But this time for my big mouth...
You are very right, I did have a long delay on my machine before the tooltips showed and having the checkbox set to on it seemed directly appearing.
As there are many inconsistencies in Bridge (in fact throughout the whole Suite) this one is very big. Don't have a good alternative short name for it but calling 'show metadata when hovering over' 'show tooltips' is really a very bad approach
The version is CS6 and I'm on a 2009 Mac Pro using 10.6.8 if that matters any.
Thanks, it always matters, especially since this has become a general forum with both Windows and Mac. Different OS and different versions (including detail version number) gives more insight in possible solutions or advice (update etc)
Also, I noticed that if I make Bridge CS6 smaller than the monitor window, then the tool tips over the buttons do not appear over the buttons anymore, but under them instead. The tool tips seem to be set to appear below the mouse pointer.  When Bridge is maximized and the bottom of the Bridge window touches the bottom of the monitor there is no place else for the tool tips to go, so they get pushed up... and cover the buttons.
I always have the Dock in sight hence pressing the green button to enlarge my Bridge window to full screen leaves a small free space and as you well discovered has not your problematic behavior with tooltips over buttons.
I would think Bridge should be able to detect the end of the screen, obviously it does because it knows to move the tool tips up so they don't appear "off screen".
They should use this detection to determine if the tool tips should appear above or below (or away from the screen edge) the mouse pointer.
Agreed
I'll stop calling it a bug and switch it to "oversight". Bottom line though is the tool tips still block the buttons and shield them from being clicked.
Oversight is the correct word, but besides the above described improvement they really should get rid of the name tooltips in thumbnails and add an option to really hide or show all tooltips as you would expect in a proper application
Thanks for staying tuned and clarify!
While the Bridge team tries to read most of this forum it might be wise to make a feature request for this, are you willing to do so since this is your discovery?

  • What Happened to Bridge CS6 Tool Menu?

    For some reason some of my Bridge CS6 Tool menu has disappeared. See the bottom of the menu it's missing the option to go into Photoshop Bactch Image processor etc
    This is what it should look like:
    How do I get back the missing options?
    Thanks,

    This morning I booted from another internal drive and repaired permissions and the disk using the Apple Disk Utility and Disk Warrior. That didn't fix anything in fact I now have even less options under the Tool Menu.

  • Where are all the buttons?

    Dear abode users,
    I'm new to the Adobe CC series, but I have used CS5. I'm trying to make a game with flash, like I did with CS5, but where are all the buttons for Flash. An example: the buttons when your are working with AS3, like the correct all your code button that it looks nice (button).
    Is there a way to set it to the old style or something?
    Casper

    Hi,
    You are probably referring to the auto formatting buttons! They are not a part of Flash CC as of now but will be available soon in the forthcoming major update.

    Is possible button block of volume in ip phone 6921, researched in internet, I found the option Minimum Ring Volume but no the Maximum or block the button, locking the volume and set fixed volume.

  • I am trying to use the Mini Bridge in Adobe Photoshop CS6 (desktop) and all I get is "Waiting for Bridge CS6 ..." in the panel at the bottom of the screen.

    I am running on a Core i7 iMac with 20GB or RAM and have already done the two applicable steps in the main Adobe  help area relating to Switchboard (Error: Waiting for Bridge | Mini Bridge panel) to no avail. Any ideas?

    Have you tried to start the bridge CS6  then open Photoshop CS6 try to use the mini bridge.
    I have a problem on windows too.  Sometimes when I open CS6 version 13.1.2 and try to use the mini bridge Its panels has a message Bridge must be running and there is a launch bridge button. When I use that button Bridge  gets launched but may hangs before displaying its application window or anything in the mini bridge panel.  I can terminate the bridge when this happens with windows task manager and start the bridge. After doing that the mini bridge launch button became a reconnect button using it mini bridge then work.
    I can also start Bridge CS6 before  Photoshop CS6 and mini bridge works as soon as Photoshop is up and running.

  • Why does Indesign CS6 Tools panel cover up the left side rulers?

    Every time I open a window in Indesign CS6 I have to slide the window to the right so I can use the left-hand ruler and the x close button. Is there any way to change this in preferences? Or is this a glitch?
    Thanks!

    It is actually not a preference.
    Method 1: Go to menu WINDOWS->ARRANGE
    Method 2: Move the window with the mouse. When the window edges touch the tool bar edges, the window should be framed by a blue frame. Let go and it will be tabbed.

  • Why when I add/import bridge CS6 photos into Lightroom 5 the photo totals don't match?

    I have added about 3,200 photos into Bridge CS6 and many have been edited.  I went into Lightroom to Library/Import/add and only about 2800 were added.  Anyone know why I don't see all of them?  I even double check the import and don't see any new ones that I missed.  Hope it's something simple.

    Found it.
    At first I was scared off because LR showed the same amount of photos to be imported the second time as it did before the first import.
    Fortunately, the second import did nothing but import the new photos.
    Thanks.

  • Rollover Tool Tips are NOT intuitive for error messages

    Just a note for the Adobe guys here:
    I've run into 2-3 occasions so far this morning that I was stymied by seemingly unresponsive DPS apps/services, only to discover the error message was hidden in a tooltip for the field.
    This happened both on the Folio Producer: Organizer (the very underdocumented Export command), and a couple times in viewer builder when I would bang "next" to no avail, only to finally notice a thin red line around a field.
    Not sure what the logic is for this, but that is not the proper usage of tooltips and is a pretty unfriendly experience for the user. Please, flash a big error popup in my face when there's an issue. I'd appreciate it.

    In the process of making a single folio viewer, you need to use the "export" function in Organizer. I went to do so, but the button was grayed out, and the "Export" command is not documented in either the "iPad publishing companion" or the "Uning Adobe DPS" document. Export is mentioned in the online help, but it never mentions that you have to publish the folio before you can export. It was only during a call to tech support that I happened to hover over the button long enough to see the "You must publish the app" warning in the tooltip.
    I now get it that "publishing" the folio is apparently a needed part of your process, but for a single issue viewer app, it never occurred to me that I needed to "publish" it, since Adobe would not be delivering the content.

  • Indesign Missing from Bridge CS6 Tools Menu

    I'm using CS6 and indesign is missing from my tools menu. I checked startup scripts in preferences and it is checked. I tried unchecking it and restarting it then rechecking it and I also tried resetting my preferences when starting bridge. Running OSX 10.8.5 and Bridge 5.0.0.39
    P.S. I feel like this should be an easy fix and an easy thing to search for but I've searched extensively and the only thing I've found is the question asked occasionally. I've not found anything for CS6 and I've not found a solution.

    Yes. I ended up solving this on my own but I did want to revisit it for anyone else who finds this message. I can't believe it had been that long since I'd generated a conatct sheet like this but, for what it's worth, this change is not for the better. Previously you were able to use the tools in indesign to control the quality and file size of the final pdf. The new way of doing it is certainly faster but it gives much less control and I ended up with a 50mb contact sheet when presenting around 150 images
    Anyway, this is how you do it in later versions of CS http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WS42C3020A-DAD1-4f92-8014-012263F3A51D.
    Also, the reason Indesign and After Effects were greyed out when I was trying to use the place command is because I wasn't trying to place a single image I was trying to make a contact sheet. Meaning I had multiple images selected. You can only place one image at a time so the place command is greyed out.

  • Tool tips are huge: they fill to edge of screen

    Whenever I hover over an icon on a tool bar or a web page, the box the tip is displayed in extends all the way to the bottom of the monitor (or the top, if the icon is lower on the page). (A screen shot would explain it easily – is there any way to post one?)

    When the problem was still there after a clean installation, I figured out what was generating the issue – an app that I find very useful and that hasn't been a problem before: Actual Window Manager 6.4 (it also does multiple monitors). I don't think AWM is really the problem now – I think it's just that FF4 labels something differently enough from v3 that I need to investigate and change some settings in AWM. For now it's FF settings are just turned off. Thanks for your time!

  • How I can make Bridge CS6 and Lightroom 4 share the same set of keywords in real time?

    Can we point to the same file on the hard drive?
    What is the current best workflow practice for keyword sync between the two apps?
    Thanks

    FYI - Right ON to mention the preferences/catalog settings/"automatically write changes into xmp" (check this box if you are smart), this is serious mandatory knowledge and I got burned by it in the past and lost all edits on who knows how many files, I still have a mess in  folder from it.
    To clarify for folks here: This feature (preferences/catalog settings/"automatically write changes into xmp") saves all of your camera raw edits into your file so that they do not get lost if your catalog or computer dies.This was intended to be used for DNG files and is a bit confusing as an xmp sidecar file implies that it is outside of a file ,yet with a DNG file it is unmentioned that the data gets safely stored inside the file for recalling CamRaw edits and metadata - this is the way I have always worked - .NEF Nikon converted to DNG upon import into LR
    preferences/catalog settings/"automatically write changes into xmp" was turned off in LR2 and maybe 3 as it does slow your machine down while always saving every move you make but it is well worth it.
    If you find that your preferences/catalog settings/"automatically write changes into xmp" feature has never been turned on and want to get properly set up here is one way to do it.
    First , turn it on by checking the box : preferences/catalog settings/"automatically write changes into xmp"
    Then select the top level of all photos I have a folder called Photography on my drive, you may have to do this to more than one folder ect.
    Then make sure show subfolders is ON and LR is looking at all images down through all folders.
    Get Ready... select all CTL Aor CMD A then hit save CTRL S or CMD S - then be ready to let the machine work for a couple of hours if you have a lot of images.
    This just might save your hiney one day
    Thanks to John for bringing this up.

  • Tool tip areas show up in Internet Explorer

    Hi all,
    When using the tooltip feature, i get the below issue. THIS IS ONLY FOR IE.
    Works fine when viewed in Safari, Chrome and Firefox.
    The hidden areas are always visible and the popup tooltip goes behind the trigger areas.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Hi Rayintheuk,
    What is the Internet Explorer version you are using ? I will give an explanation for your issue based on the latest version Internet Explorer 11 .
    “I'm just curious why the favicons don't show up in the favourites in Internet Explorer.”
    Have you checked this setting ?Right click the white part of the bar and you will get this choice.
    “I have my favourites on the toolbar in folders. When i use Google Chrome it's very easy to see which favourite i want because of the picture next to it. Most of the ones in Internet Explorer
    just have an E on them”
    Right click the favorites in the favorites folder and you will get this :
    Then it will be shown in the favorites bar. Right click favorites ,you can choose the title widths of the favorites.
    “They don't get erased in Chrome either when you delete the history. The ones that do work in chrome seem to disappear”
    How did you erase the history ? Erasing the browsing history won`t affect the favorites folder of the Internet Explorer.
    Best regards
