Can I stop the cursor from automatically making selections?

If I'm not quick enough to park my cursor in a "safe" place, it automatically selects whatever it lands on, sometimes so quickly the screen doesn't even finish filling before Safari leaps somewhere else, and then somewhere else again, and then ... I feel like I'm stuck in an out-of-control transporter! How can I force Safari to stay on the page I selected until I TELL it to go somewhere else? This random, manic leaping about is driving me nuts!

You can maintain the cursor (and the graph scales...) between defined boundaries programmatically, using an attribute node. Not a very elegant solution, since there is some quivering. See the example.vi.
Of course, if the user need to modify the scales (zoom in/out...), there will be some additional work ! :-)
Hope this help.

  • In Address Book how can I stop the cursor from wandering while editing a page?

    At times when I am editing a page in Address Book, the cursor wanders, so the text I am typing shows up in the wrong place. Often it deletes exist text. Why does this happen? How can I prevent it?

    Does this only happen in the Address Book or does it do this all the time and causes only issues in the Address Book?

  • How can I stop the cursor from being dragged outside the bounds of an intensity graph in LV 7.1?

    Currently, an intensity graph cursor can be dragged outside the graph bounds, and the cursor position continues to change as if the graph had no bounds.

    You can maintain the cursor (and the graph scales...) between defined boundaries programmatically, using an attribute node. Not a very elegant solution, since there is some quivering. See the example.vi.

  • How can I STOP the TABS from Automaticly Expanding to the right?

    I don't like several new features.
    1) It is extremely difficult to tell which TAB belongs to the page I'm viewing. This causes me to constantly close the Wrong Page.
    2) When I do close a Tab, the remaining Tabs expand to fill the "Tab Bar" leaving No Blank Space.

    Hi,
    You can try a different theme for Firefox that provides a greater contrast between the active and inactive tabs: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/themes/
    Please note that some of the themes have a thinner tab bar and may diminish the height of the tab bar.
    or
    You can try the add-on [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/colorfultabs/ ColorfulTabs] without changing the theme. It has an option to [https://www.binaryturf.com/free-software/colorfultabs-for-firefox/colorfultabs-documentation-and-help/#3 fade the inactive tabs]. Please note that ColorfulTabs may have issues when used with other Firefox themes.
    You can prevent filling the tab bar to an extent by using the '''Pin as App Tab''' feature. Right-click on a tab and choose '''Pin as App Tab'''. To unpin, right-click on the pinned tab and choose '''Unpin Tab'''.

  • How can I stop the program from going through all of the text previously put in.  It is making the process very slow.

    while True:
    and just indent everything else under it
    Ends when you press ^C.
    if you wish to have a way to break out of the loop, say, when you press enter at the VPC number without entering anything, add the following after your vpc input:
    if not vpc:
    break
    which will break out of the while loop and end your program.

  • How do I stop the cursor from spontaneously going to Line one space one in Notes?

    How do I stop the cursor from spontaneously going to Line one Space one in Notes?
    I am currently working on a MacBook Pro connected by Wi-Fi or Blue Tooth to my 16GB iPhone 4S; and supposedly to iCloud.  I install every upgrade on each computer till the computer can take no more.  My current MacBook Pro continues to accept upgrades.
    I have been dealing with Address Book foibles since it first came out and the problems seem to get worse rather than resolved.
    Problem #1: When a Company Name is checked to take precedence over a personal name the record/file does not surface during searches.  This has happened for years on all my Macs, including most recently my MacBook Pro and its predecessor PowerBook G4.  How do I fix this?
    Problem #2: The Printing Defaults for Address Book Files are not useful and I can find no way to change them to my own preferences once and for all.  I must reset them for every file every time I choose to print a file.  Is there some way to set the defaults to MY preferences and only occasionally reset them according to my needs?
    Problem #3:  When entering information in "Notes" the cursor randomly and spontaneously goes to line one space one as I am entering information.  How do I stop this?  Then when I cut and paste the misplaced text to where it belongs it may or may not return to once again begin at line one space one and following.
    Problem #4:  When Printing a Record/File from Address Book I would like to use the whole 8.5" x 11" page.  Instead it prints on an 8.5" x 11" page in three columns.  Is there a way to format the output?  I have not found one and the Mac 'Geniuses' do not know of any.
    Problem #5:  Subsequent to one of the upgrades in the last year or so, the search feature does not work.  (I have had this computer since May 2011).  No matter what I type in the search line I am stuck in the 'All' Directory.  To find anyone or anything I must scroll through the address book manually.  Is there a fix to this?
    Problem #6:  Sometimes, when I try to sync my MacBook Pro and my iPhone, the records simply duplicate.  How d I undo this without manually deleting the duplicates?
    Problem #7:  Does anyone know of a third party Address-Book-type App that is better than the Apple version and can easily import over 3000 contacts information?

    '''I had the same problem when I updated to firefox 4. This is how i fixed it:'''
    The problem seems to be caused by the 'New Tab Homepage' add on. So:
    # Disable or remove the 'New Tab Homepage' add on and restart firefox.
    # Download and install the firefox add on called 'NewTabURL' and restart firefox.
    # Click on the Options button for NewTabURL and uncheck 'Select location bar after loading new tab'
    # Under the 'Default URL for new tabs' heading, choose 'Home Page'
    # Click on the Save button.
    Hopefully, problem solved!

  • Is there a way for me to stop the iPad from automatically storing an email address I send mail to that is not in my contacts?

    The iPad seems to automatically store email addresses for ease of use. But what if there are ever email addresses for privacy reasons that I do not want the device to remember? Can I stop the device from storing addresses that I do not specifically or manually store in my contacts list?

    No. Sorry.

  • When I record an audio track, there is a waveform. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing?

    When I record an audio track using Logic Pro X, there is a visible waveform which appears as I record. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is still there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing? And can I do something to view it after it has disappeared? Anyone know the anser?

    In Logic:
    Preferences/Audio Set Recording Delay to 0 <zero>
    This should always be set to zero unless a specific set of circumstances exist and you're audio drivers do not report position correctly.
    On occasion, usually when importing a Logic 9 project, Logic-X randomly changes this to a negative/positive number.  It's actually a bug in Logic, as it should always display the waveform.

    If you are printing via a Windows shared printer and it is the Windows user account that you are being prompted for then you can save this in the Keychain, as shown below.

    Hi. Can I use my iPhone without causing internet-costs? I have got a prepaid-card and my iPhone uses the internet all the time - that costs a lot of money. So can I stop the iPhone from surfing the internet and still use the "find my iPhone" option?

    Find My Phone REQUIRES an internet connection in order to work. Either WiFi or Cellular Data. So, if you turn off Cellular data, you're defeating Find My Phone.
