Bug: cursor won't stay in edit window

(TLDR: Something about the Ajax used to implement Discussions causes the edit windows to lose focus. )
I'm having this problem using these support communities (discussions.apple.com) with Safari 5.1.7 over OS X 10.6.8.
I'm typing text (like right now in fact) and I am moving my cursor around with the arrow keys. Typically I'm at the start of a line. And then sometimes (well, often but not always) instead of moving up/down, it will LOSE FOCUS - that is, my cursor will no longer be inside the typing box anymore.
Suddenly, typing does nothing, and arrow keys make the page scroll up and down or "Browser Back" (navigate to previous web page)* ... which pops up a warning message that I'm about to leave the web page I'm editing text on.
It doesn't happen on other web sites AFIAK.
* who was the genius who came up with THAT shortcut key? I'm sure it made sense in 1994 when web pages were novel and nobody entered text in them, but now web browsers are app engines, and I bet the majority of all keyboarding is now done in web browsers.

Quit iPhoto and try deleting the iPhoto preference file. It is found at Home/Library/Preferences and is called com.apple.iPhoto.plist. Move it to the trash, launch iPhoto, and see if you can edit in the info pane. (You'll have to reset your preferences once in iPhoto.)

My Itunes Won't Stay Minimized In Windows Vista

My Itunes won't stay minimized. I will minimize it and then it will pop back up, i don't know if this issue has been addressed before but its driving me insane. what do i do?

I have the same problem. This problem has shown up and gone away many times over the last couple of years. Its the main reason that I rarely use iTunes.
Have you found a solution? I'm tired of buying MP3s from iTunes and playing them in Windows Media Player

Conky won't stay below other windows...

Hellu!
I'm currently using conky with a conkyrc from my Ubuntu laptop which works quite well... Problem is, when Compiz is started, Conky suddently wants to stay on top of all other windows. Restarting conky fixes the problem, but I'd rather not restart conky everytime i login to the system... Anyone know how to fix this?
Also. Is there a way to add conky to compiz' widget-layer and still have it below all other windows? Basically, I want it on the desktop unless i hit a key, which makes it come on top of everything.
Heres my conky configuration:

Cursor won't stay in Title or Comments field

I am using iPhoto 4.0.3. When I click in the title or comments field, the cursor always goes away and I can't type in the field any more. It used to be that if I clicked in the field a second time, the cursor would stay and I could type. Now, it will let me type a few letters and then the cursor disappears and I can't type. Is there a fix for this?

Quit iPhoto and try deleting the iPhoto preference file. It is found at Home/Library/Preferences and is called com.apple.iPhoto.plist. Move it to the trash, launch iPhoto, and see if you can edit in the info pane. (You'll have to reset your preferences once in iPhoto.)

Adobe Reader XI won't stay open in Windows 7; Solutions don't work

My Adobe reader was working fine under Windows 7 and all of a sudden it stopped working. It opens, starts opening a file and before it finishes opening the file, it closes. I have unstalled Adobe Reader XI using the Adobe Cleaner Tool provided on the community board website and reinstalled it from the Adobe.com website. I also went to the eula.exe file and clicked accept which was a suggestion on the community board. Please help

Other things you could try...
Update Reader to 11.0.5
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

Printer won't stay connected in Windows 8

I have Windows 8 Compaq laptop. I also have an HP ENVY 4501 e-All-in-One printer. I have had this problem with my last printer too, but now I am finally tired of it. Every time I close the lid to my laptop or the printer powers off/goes to sleep it disconnects from my laptop. So every time I go to print it tells me the printer is offline even though the printer is on, connected, and sitting right next to me. Then I have to go into the control panel, remove the printer, and re-install it. How can I get it to stay connected to my computer all the time?
(By the way, I have already tried leaving the printer on 24/7 and it still disconnects from my computer)
Please help!
Thanks

Acer S7 392 won't stay connected to Window VPN

Can anyone give me a suggestion on what to do to get the VPN to stay connected on my Acer S7 392 with Windows 8? It will work for a few minutes and then disconnect.
Thanks,
Michelle

Hi,
With limited infortmation, it's hard to find the cause, What is the VPN client you're using? Built-in VPN program ot third party VPN client?
Have you checked the event viewer? Control Panel\Administrator Tool\Event Viewer, then expand to Windows log
System and Applications and Services\Microsoft\Windows\VPN-Client, see if there're some valuable information recorded.

G780 won't stay in current window

My laptop comes out of the current window - continually. I can be typing an email, and suddenly it de-selects the window, and typing doesn't result in anything. Or I can be scrolling through a webpage and suddenl;y the arrow keys have no effect.
It is not the keyboard - you can see that a window is no longer the active window. It has happened 5 times while typing this.
Laptop has just come back from another repair under warranty, where BIOS was reloaded. Would have thought that would have solved any problem like this?

hi GeoffC,
It's most likely the sensitivity of the touchpad that's making you jump out of your current Window. It happened to me on a test laptop. After installing the touchpad drive and adjusted the palm check and touch sensitivity, the issue went away.
Can you check the following:
1. Go to Control Panel (large icon view) and click on Mouse. On the Mouse Properties, check if you have an ELAN or Device Settings Tab and adjust the settings accordingly

2. After adjusting the sensitivity settings, try the touchpad and observe.

Wireless Bluetooth Speakers (TDK A33s) Won't Stay Paired to Windows 8.1 (Lenovo IdeaPad Y580)

Hello,
I recently acquired a pair of Bluetooth speakers (the TDK A33), and am unable to connect it to my PC. The Bluetooth interface sees the speakers, connects with
them for a few seconds when I try to pair, and then disconnects. The speakers connect to my phone just fine, so it's not the speakers (and TDK tech support hasn't exactly been very helpful).
I'm running Windows 8.1 on a Lenovo IdeaPad Y580; I tried updating
my Bluetooth drivers, as a few sites recommended (pulling them from them Lenovo site), but still no dice. I've read a few things that seem to suggest is a
Windows 8.1 issue.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
B

try to check whether you have the latest version
http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/ideapad-y-series-laptops/ideapad-y580?c=1
check also whether this Bluetooth can be connected to other device
you can also try to delete all Bluetooth profile, and test
try to other PC with Windows 8.1 OS if any

Boris 3D text editing window won't open without deleting FCP preferences

So, in my FCP7 projects, the Boris 3D text editing window won't open without deleting FCP preferences first. I've tried new projects, old projects, open all new windows on top settings. Once I delete the preferences, viola, opens right up. I can rebuild my preferences and after just a few days it won't open again... without preference delete.
I'm on a Macbook Pro 17'" i7 and do most of my editing on a 27" Apple Cinema Display. This is the only reason I could come up with. However I did some editing from the Macbook's screen and after 1 day, the Boris 3D editing window again refused to open. I have no idea. Is this is a known bug, etc.?
Help!

With Final Cut not running, trash the Boris Title 3D preference file.
/Library/Preferences/Title 3D Preferences
Also, you could have a corrupt or duplicate font file. Open FontBook and check it out.

When I have my Firefox browser running, if I bring up a document from my computer, it appears briefly, then disappears behind the browser. It shows in the taskbar, but won't stay on top until I minimize all other windows.

Hi NicoMan,
According to your description ,we seem to suffer a performance issue here.
Have you tried to open the task manager to check the system performance ? Is there any specific process occupied many system resources ?Will the issue occur only with the specific applications ?
We can try to restart the Windows Explorer process to have a check.
If it only occurred with the spefcific two applications ,we can try to end the other application processes manually from the task manager to have a check .
If this is caused by the specific application ,we may need to look for help from the third party support considering they are all the third party applications .
Best regards

"Fit to Window" won't stay from page to page

I just installed Firefox and can't get the amount of zoom to stay from page to page. I downloaded Default FullZoom Level but all it gives me is a list of options every time I go to a new page. I check "Fit to Window" but it won't stay and it doesn't give me the option of making it default. Thanks.

Checkout this http://forums.logitech.com/t5/G-Series-Gaming-Keyboards/G19-keeps-opening-iTunes /m-p/794559
I found out it was my keyboard's software. If you have a different keyboard it may still be the cause.
This worked for me nicely. I can close itunes whenever I want now.

Reminders Info Window Won't Stay Open

Reminder info (location, date, time) won't stay open long enough for me to input location. Winndow fades away before it can search for a location i.e. trying to input Airport but fades before I can enter airport name.

I have given up. Sometimes it takes me 4 or 5 times to open the window before I can complete my short entry. I think it definetely has to do with syncing and iCloud. I wish there was a way to setup the frequency of syncs or something.
I have resorted to using notes. It syncs with iCloud, but doesn't seem to show the same quirky behavior
Reminders is SO frustrating to use on any level. It is half baked IMO, this issue, can't sort the lists, can't do a delete all for completed items.

Finder won't stay selected if other programs open and can't open new window

I have just noticed a new problem. If other programs are open, Finder won't stay selected program. If I alt tab to it or click on it in dock, it shows on menu bar for a half second and goes away. If I right click on icon in dock and select open new window, it will not do so. If I select a folder from the desktop, it opens in Finder with no problem and I can move within the Finder at will.
I have updated all software. I am running the current Macbook Pro 15in. No other problems noted so far.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Hi Sleddaddyfro, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Do you have another account you can log into?
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport in 10.4 & below, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Stuffit AVR has been a big one, if you have that use the Pref Pane to turn it off, but others have been implicated too. Check System Preferences for a Stuffit Pref Pane and disable AVR.
