Bug: Previews in Spaces/Mission Control not visible

I've noticed a bug with Mountain Lion's Spaces/Mission Control. Sometimes when I enter MC, the previews of spaces up top don't appear (1st attachment) until I swipe to a full-screen space (2nd attachment). A restart or log out/log in resolves it but eventually the problem comes back.
I'm on OS X 10.8.2

Third party software conflict.

HT4689 Can we make mission control not stack the windows of the same app?

I often have multiple Word windows open and it's very hard to find the one I need when they are stacked in Mission Control. I like the fact that with a four-finger swipe you can see all the open programs, but it's not quite useful if apps are stacked (so I can't find which is which), and minimized apps apps are not shown.
In comparison, MS Windows makes it easier to locate an open program although less fancy-looking.

Hi keclear,
If you would prefer that Mission Control not stack the open windows for each application, you may want to turn off the "Group windows by application" setting. You may find the following article helpful:

Mission Control not loading

Since upgrading to Yosemite, I can't load mission control:
- The fingers up move on the track pad doesn't do anything.
- The hot corners do not work.
- When I select an app in the dock, it doesn't go to the right space anymore.
- I can't add / remove spaces, the icons for it do not appear.
When I try to load mission control nothing happens, it quits instantly: no error, no console output, etc.
I have attached a trace of the app, in case it can help find what is wrong: http://pastebin.com/0FRFf3Q8
I have no idea where to look!

Can anyone run a trace of "Mission Control" for me? I want to see what it does as mine is not working at all.
The steps are as follow:
1) kill mission control so it's not running
sudo killall "Mission Control"
2) open a shell and type:
sudo dtruss -afs -n "Mission Control" > ~/Desktop/trussoutput.txt
3) load mission control
by clicking on the icon..
The output of the shell will go to a file called 'trussoutput.txt' on your desktop; if you could send me that file, or put the contents on pastebin.com, it would help be greatly in trying to figure out what is happening. Mine seems to be stopping abruptly after loading the GSS library...
thanks!

OS X (10.8.3) Mission Control not working properly.

On my 13" MacBook Pro running 10.8.3; Mission Contol no longer funcitons properly.
Three finger swipe up: only intermitently shows thumbnails of running applications. Never shows a thumbnail or Safari.
Most of the time, however, I am presented with application icons instead of thumnails. Again, a Safari window thumbnail or icon fails to show up.
Three finger swipe down: functions properly.
Is there a way to reset Mission Control?
Is this an issue others are experiencing?

Thanks for replying so quickly pal, but I actually seemed to have solved my own problem.
For anyone who has been having the same issue that I did, follow these steps:
1) go to your 'contacts' app and remove your email address from your own 'card'
(not sure if this is necessary) 2) remove apple id from user & preference profile
Cheers

MP3 plugin controls not visible in Firefox 9

I have some MP3 files embedded on my website. When I browse to the site in Internet Explorer, the files show up complete with controls (play, pause, etc.). For the longest time, they've also worked in Firefox but now that I have upgraded to Firefox 9, the controls disappear. The files play properly if the autoplay is enabled, so the plugin seems to still work. Just no controls. So I downgraded back to Firefox 3.6 and presto, the controls show up again. I tested with other extensions (.wav and .ogg) and they all have the same issue with the controls not being visible in FF9. Any ideas?

Some further info: I am running XP and the plugin controls disappear between FF 6.0.2 and 7.0. I checked my laptop running Windows 7 and the plugin controls don't even show up in FF 3.6!

Web gallery control not visible

HI
<br />
<br />Viewing through the downloadable resources for the Flash Web Gallery templates I saw that there is the possibility of having Play/Stop/Forward/Backward/...-Controls in the lower right corner of the Flash Gallery. How can I make them visible, when I create a webgallery, they are not there when I create one. I thought it should be in the galleryconfig.xml the option
<br />
<var symboltype="boolean" name="showController" value="true" /></var>
<br />, but this does not work for me.

One more Question: In the downloadable templates there is Web Gallery 3: In the Samplefile the thumbnails are all rotated a litte, how is that done?

HDR Merge Save/Cancel controls not visible

I am using CS5 on a Mac Pro and today when creating a HDR Merge from Camera Raw the controls (Ok or Cancel) at the bottom of the screen of the HDR merge preview screen are no longer visible. The picture controls to the right of the merge are all working
I have tried restarting the computer and PS several times to no avail.
The HDR merge was working fine until my 4th merge and then the controls diasppeared. It is as if the screen is to large for the display and cannot be resized or moved. I am using Lion.
Any suggestions?

What is the current resolution setting for your screen? Is your OS X dock visible?
If you hide your OS X dock, then reset your preferences and launch Photoshop and run Merge to HDR, are the controls visible?

Display full-screen controls NOT visible

I exported my keynote presentation as a QuickTime full-screen movie. In Preferences, I have the controls checked to display full-screen controls and to never hide them. They do not show up anywhere. I also set the presentation as a slideshow to control the presentation using the arrow keys and they do not show up. In the Guide it states that as long as "Display full-screen controls" is selected in QT Player Preferences, you can make hidden controls appear by moving the pointer. They don't.
Any help out there would be appreciated...I have a deadline to meet!

Huh, I didn't realize you had to format a flash drive for a Mac, I'll check that out.
O.K. I may have something that I said I was going to try...I unlocked the file, changed *_My* permission_, the Staff and Everyone else to "Read Only" privileges, then locked again. I then zipped it and sent it to my son this morning. He said he could open it, change it but it would not allow him to save it! I'm going to test it further somehow but I don't know anybody else that has a Mac w/Keynote '08. Do you have Keynote 08? Can I send it to you to test (it would be alot easier) or to someone in the Keynote discussion area?
This message should now have a subject line..."Keynote presentation to CD to be accessed, but not changed?" When this all began, I searched discussions in Keynote on this and found nothing with a concrete answer, only that you cannot save a keynote presentation as password protected. I posted twice and no one answered. I think this part of our discussion will help Keynote people.
*Back to your area of expertise and my original question!*... Can you still look to see what key commands force the HUD for me for my QuickTime Movie as Slideshow? I know they could not change that, but the arrow controls would have to be displayed. I don't know what HUD means but I'm going to search too... I found this link: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/QuickTime/Conceptual/QT7-2Update_Guide/NewFeaturesChangesEnhancements/chapter_2_section9.html
Could you take a look and see if this is what I need? I do have Mac OS X v10.5.4 and QT v7.5 and my Preferences window does not have a recording tab but my Full screen window looks that same. When I view my A/V controls it also doesn't view as in figure 1-8. I'm confused again! QT 7.5 is the latest version, isn't it?

[ Bug ? ] Mail archive - discussion thread not visible if archive 'too early'

Hello,
I feel like something is wrong concerning mail archive and thread/discussions. I explain :
- Septembre : I receive a mail and I archive it, via Gmail, in the XX category
- Octobre and Novembre : this mail become a thread, people answer, I answer etc... The discussion ends and I archived it, via Gmail, so that it's not in my Incoming box anymore. (so : it's the second time I archive it )
- Today : I want to read again what we talked about in this thread, so I go to my XX category via iOS Mail app.
> Here is the problem: I only see the the first mail of the thead, I have to 'unarchive' it and 're-archive it' so that all the mails in this discussion ( so the thread ) are totally visible when I go to my XX category via the Mail app. (of course, no problem with gmail interface)
Someone may confirm ?
Did I miss something ?
cya

No one got that problem ?

Mission control not showing running apps properly

When I use the three finger swipe-up, it usually shows all my running apps as normal, but sometimes they all just appear on top of each other which isn't in any way helpful. Has anybody else experienced this?

Which appear on top of each other? All Applications, or all windows of an Application?
The latter is normal. Two-finger up swipe on an app should expand them a little so that you can see them and pick one.

Frustrating lack of support for Mission Control / Spaces on Mac OS

I'm posting this on the InDesign board, but this question applies equally to all apps in the Creative Suite.
Is there any way to make InDesign/Creative Suite work properly with Spaces (a feature that has been around for years now)? It is incredibly frustrating to not be able to use this excellent organisational aid with any of the Adobe apps. There seems to be a whole mishmash of problems with it, from pallettes disappearing and moving to a different space to the document you are working on, to entire apps not being visible in Mission Control. Not to mention problems when trying to hide/unhide apps.
When I'm working with any other apps on my system, I can take advantage of Mission Control, but have forego these advantages when using the Creative Suite. Isn't it really about time that Adobe put some effort into supporting these OS-level features. Whether you favour Mac OS or Windows, you should be able to take advantages of the system you prefer to work on.
Is there any word on whether CS6 will support these features? (I'm not exactly holding my breath).
Thanks.

There is no word on anything about InDesign CS6 yet. (Those who know can't say, and I'm not aware of any substantive leaked information.)
I think that Spaces/Mission Control support is probably predicated on the Carbon to Cocoa conversion. So until InDesign is a Cocoa app, this is unlikely to improve. Personally I manage to avoid using Spaces to any significant degree, so I don't really notice these things. Have you tried Photoshop, which is a Cocoa app? Does it behave better?
I don't know to what extent these issues are specific to the app, or all tied up in libraries that are common to all the Adobe apps.

Mission Control Only Showing App Icons, NOT Windows

I just purchased a new MacBook Pro Retina and am noticing a bug with Mission Control. When I go to Mission Control to see all of the different windows I have open, it's showing just the app icons, NOT the actual app windows. This occurs sporadically; sometimes it works properly, and sometimes it doesn't. I actually realzied the same issue on my MacBook Pro (2009) after upgrading to Mountain Lion a few weeks ago, therefore it seems to be an OS issue and not a HW issue.
Here is a screen shot of what I see when Mission Control is not working properly:
Instead of those icons, it should be showing the actually windows within those apps that I have open.
Any ideas?

I have this problem too and would love a solution...when it happens to me it only seems to be on one of my spaces, if I use gestures to get to another space Mission Control" works fine on a different space, but if I go back to the original space it stops working..I have found a fix, which is just move the active window slightly, yep, that actually works, and then Mission Control starts working again...it's weird...would still love to know what causes it, even though the fix is an easy one...
Just on the safari comments above, I have noticed this happens when one of the tab has "reader" activated...turning of 'reader' seems to fix the issue with safari...

Using mission control/spaces on extended displays

Is there a way to assign spaces and use mission control on an extended display (i.e. LCD TV) on 10.7.1? I have connected an LCD TV as an external display to my MBP. When switching spaces on my MBP (primary) display, the external monitor transitions as well. I have been unsuccessful utilizing multiple spaces strictly on my external display or having a static dispaly when switching spaces. I would like to be able to switch spaces independently on each display or make a static desktop on my extended display. Thanks

First tab of Lable Based Menu is not visible in Preview Mode

HI Genious,
I have added one Lable Based Menu in my application. If i apply the dynamic visibility to it, in preview mode 1st tab is not visible all other tabs are visible.
Ex. In Lable Based Menu, I have three label :- Distribution Center, Zoo, Bird Park. I have applied dynamic visibility to this component. In preview mode, I am not able to visible the first label (i.e. Distribution Center) while all other labes are working properly.
While i remove the dynamic visibility, All the labes are visible. But my application is not like that so i could not adapt that solution.
Regards,
Rishit

Hi Rishit,
Please let me know if you have applied Fix pacK3 for Xcelsius.
I have seen this issue in FP2, which got fixed in FP3. The workaround you can try is including a blank cell.
Thanks,
Amit.
