Cannot switch tabs past a tab viewing a PDF

When I have a tab open with a PDF in it (using Adobe Acrobat 9.3.0.148 plugin) I cannot switch tabs using Ctrl-Tab and Ctrl-Shift-Tab past that particular tab. Ctrl-W won't close the tab with the PDF in it either. It looks like if you dont click within the PDF document or one of the viewer plugin toolbars etc it will let you tab past, as soon as you click within the PDF it no longer works, even if you change to a different tab and then try going past it again. Using the mouse scroll wheel to scroll through the document does not cause this behaviour to kick in either. Also in this state you cannot use Ctrl-F when you tab onto the PDF tab unless you click on the PDF itself (same goes for cursor keys and page up/down keys). FF2 used to allow you to tab past the PDFs without any issue, i noticed this on 3.5.1 while upgrading to 3.6.3. So its like keyboard focus is lost somewhere between FF and the PDF plugin.
I remember in FF2 you used to get a faint rectanglular highlight within the tab so you could tell the focus was on the tab not within the page. Thats also gone now.
I havent been able to find an existing bug specificaly on this issue, or any other potential work arounds. So just want to check before i log a bug, of course this could be an Adobe plugin issue, although it does appear to be linked with how the focus is maintained on components within FF.

Cannot switch tabs when external application is active.

After FF4.0 update, when on websites with Flash (YouTube), or mp3 embed, it is impossible to switch tabs using Cmd+[ or ] or Cmd+(number) without pressing an area outside the embedded portion. When the embedded portion takes up the entire screen, it's impossible to get out of it without using a mouse.

That's normal on Windows: when a plugin was the last place you clicked, all interaction is sent to the plugin. That wasn't true on version 3.x on the Mac??

Firefox keeps locking up. Whatever tab I'm in says "Connecting" with the circle rotating. Cannot switch tabs, close tabs or close Firefox. Must kill with taskmg

Problem looking likely to be malware.
I have asked this question before. I thought it was tied to the website of my local newspaper since that seemed to be where it happened all the time. Tonight I was not on that site. I was in Tools>Add-ons, trying to switch from Plugins to Extensions when it locked up. Symptoms are the current tab will scroll up and down but no links work. No other tabs can be accessed. Tab cannot be closed. Tab shows "Connecting" with rotating busy icon. Firefox must be killed with the task manager. People have suggested deleting cookies and history - no effect unless I'm supposed to perform that action every few seconds in which case it's useless. Another suggestion was to deselect "Use hardware acceleration" in Tools>Options. Also no apparent effect. I thought it might be related to Flash because I was getting a lot of messages about a plugin container not working for that. I disabled Flash and got the "Video without flash" add-on (what a POS!) which doesn't appear to work at all. Any help would be appreciated. I'm getting tired of killing Firefox a dozen times (or more) per day and may have to investigate another browser (Ugh!).

After posting this question I went back to what I had long thought to be the problem website ( www.denverpost.com ) and was looking at the comics when it locked up again. HELP!

I cannot switch to ios7 calendar list view

I've read all the posts that say to just tap the Search icon. I've done that...it flat out does not work...tap...tap and hold... Not!
I've done a hard reboot...no love.
No matter what I tap, the list view will not come up. Every time i touch or tap the search icon, it acts just as the search does in any app...it brings up a search box and the keyboard.
I'm at my wit's end... any ideas?
Thanks
Tom

Network Error viewing large pdf

I'm running into problems trying to use the Adobe Reader plugin for IE to view some large PDFs in the browser window. Apparently, the PDF fails to completely download to the browser. I've seen two slightly different behaviors:
1) When IE tries to view one of these PDFs, it will display a Loading progress bar. Usually, the progress bar will just stop before getting too far. For example: "Loading 832.5 KB/16.91MB". Attempting to view the same file again will result in similar behavior - stopping at a different place on the progress bar. Repeating this will eventually result in IE displaying a page that indicates a connection problem: "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage".
2) Viewing the PDF in the browser will display the Loading progress bar, but before it completes, this message is displayed by Adobe Reader: "A network error occurred while accessing this document on the Internet. Would you like to close the document or reload it?"
Clicking the reload button then yields this error: "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem.
Repeating the view attempt a few times eventually gives the same general IE error page described in scenario 1.
Scenario 1 seems to occur when the request is sent to a server that is sitting behind firewalls, load balancers, etc. The second condition happens when I'm using servers in the lab where there is nothing between my client and the server, other than a switch.
This only occurs when using HTTPS. If configure the server to use HTTP, then the PDF will always be viewed. This has restricted my ability to watch the traffic between the client and the server with a packet analyzer.
This only occurs with the IE plugin. Using Chrome and Firefox with the Adobe Reader plugin works every time.
It only seems to be occurring on large PDF files: the files I've been working with are all 10MB or larger.
I tried disabling the "fast web view" option in Adobe Reader, but this didn't seem to have any effect on the problem.
I disabled the option to display a PDF file in the browser window, and then the PDF file will be downloaded and opened properly in the Adobe Reader application. So it only happens with the PDF is displayed in the browser window.
I've been running my tests using IE 9 (9.0.8112.16421) and Reader plugin 10.1.3, but I've had reports from customers of similar behavior from earlier versions of the browser and reader. The web server is IIS 7.
I found several PDFs on the internet with which I've duplicated the problem. Here's an example PDF file that shows this problem.
http://www.nbb.be/DOC/BA/PDF7MB/2010/201009400082_2.PDF
There are many other similar sized files at this site:
http://www.nbb.be/pub/03_00_00_00_00/03_02_00_00_00/03_02_04_00_00.htm?l=en
many of which will also reproduce the error. However, because the problem only happens when going over HTTPS, I had to download the files and import them into my system which uses HTTPS to see the problem.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm not sure what to look at next.

There are several resources that show how this is done. See here for an example: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/46c5ddfy(v=vs.100).aspx
I've added an entry into web.config to identify the presence of a custom handler:
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
 <add name="PDFHandler" verb="*" path="*.pdf" type="PDFHttpHandler" />
</handlers>
</system.webServer>
Then in our application code I defined a new class :
Public Class PDFHttpHandler
Implements IHttpHandler
Public ReadOnly Property IsReusable() As Boolean Implements System.Web.IHttpHandler.IsReusable
Get
 Return False
End Get
End Property
Public Sub ProcessRequest(ByVal context As HttpContext) Implements System.Web.IHttpHandler.ProcessRequest
Select Case context.Request.HttpMethod
 Case "GET"
 If file.exists(context.Server.MapPath(context.Request.FilePath)) Then
 Dim requestedFile As String = context.Server.MapPath(context.Request.FilePath)
 SendContentTypeAndFile(context, requestedFile)
 Else
 context.response.statuscode = 404
 End If
 Case Else
 context.response.statuscode = 404
End Select
End Sub
Private Function SendContentTypeAndFile(ByVal context As HttpContext, ByVal strFile As String) As HttpContext
 context.Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
 context.Response.AppendHeader("Accept-Ranges","none")
 ' The web.config file sets the "x-ua-compatible" header to "ie=edge". This has an unfortunate side
 ' effect of casuing problems when we use IE to view PDF files.
 ' So for PDF files, we will try to override that header value.
 context.Response.AppendHeader("X-UA-Compatible", "")
context.Response.TransmitFile(strFile)
context.Response.end()
Return context
End Function
End Class

Firefox29 cannot close or switch tabs on OSX10

clicking on a tab no longer switches to corresponding tab window
no way to close tab; the 'x' is gone and right clicking the tab just shows the customize menu for the browser
this rendered it unusable for me and I had to switch back to FF 28

Problem with frozen / unselectable tabs applies to PCs as well, the extension that was affected by Firefox 29 is
 '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/how-many-times-can-i-back/ How Many Times Can I Back?]''' :: Add-ons for Firefox
You will have to disable the extension for now. I see you went back to Firefox 28 (a lot easier on your health). It was really a pain trying to switch tabs strictly through the "List all tabs" drop-down, and use Ctrl+T, and Ctrl+W (or for you with the Mac Cmd key ⌘ ).
I had the same problem, it is now reported in
 [http://kb.mozillazine.org/index.php?title=Problematic_extensions Problematic extensions - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]
Firefox 29 made changes to Tabs, and removal of the Addons Bar. since you also show Status-4-Evar in your "MORE SYSTEM DETAILS" you use the Addons bar and have a problem there as well. You also have another extension one with the word "tab" in it "Old Firefox Tab 1.0" which could be affected as well.
Either of these extensions will restore the addons bar, I prefer
[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/the-addon-bar/ The Addon Bar (restored)] which I prefer because I have tabs on the bottom.
Those who can stand tabs on top and the hugh Firefox button may prefer [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ Classic Theme Restorer (Customize Australis) :: Add-ons for Firefox]
 I see you did try that when you were on Firefox 29.
Both extensions preserve "Ctrl+/" shortcut to toggle the Add-ons bar.
To restore Tabs on the bottom (in Firefox 29)
 [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fdgueux-tabs-on-bottom/ Tabs on Bottom (Australis) :: Add-ons for Firefox]

I'm working through my own problems and will be able to use Firefox 29 even though some of my toolbar buttons are almost invisible (only my own styles are affected by that).

Hi All,
I have 2 windows in a form. When i click on a button in first window, then 2nd window will be opened. (Note: both windows are based have master-details relationship with Table1 and Table2 respectively)
When i enter the information in 2nd window and click the SAVE Button it has to save those values to database. It used to work fine earlier. now, i am getting the following error.
FRM-40501: ORACLE error: unable to reserve record for update or delete.
ORA-01445: cannot select ROWID from a join view without a key-preserved table
Please help me, how can i resolve this error. Also, guide me what is a key-preserved table.
Thanks in advance,
Amar

Firstly: - Please make sure that you have not opened the same record somewhere else in any other form and trying to update from there.
Secondly: - In your window 1 have you opened the same record which you are querying, editing and saving in window 2 ? If yes then this will givbe you error as you are trying to update a record which is already being updated somewhere else.
Please mark if it helps

View Multiple PDFs in tabs in ONE window in ADOBE 9

OK...so after hours of uninstalling and reinstalling adobe 9 to get past adobe's multiple error messages and running CHCKDSK and Windows registry cure I finally get Adobe reader 9 to work, only to find out that
I can not view multiple pdf's in one window in tiled tabs. Basically I need to have several pdf's open in one window in adobe. I'm a student and writer and deal with multiple e-books at once for dissemination and I do not want them open in multiple windows, just one window with multiple tabs.
In adobe 8 this option was in preferences. It does not exist in adobe 9. I can not have all these pdfs open in different windows, I want multiple pdfs to open in one window.
This has been a very frustrating evening dealing with adobe 9. I wish I would have never installed it in the first place. I probably won't be buying 9 pro, its pretty crazy that there are all these frustrations. This whole thing with the Error 2330.Error getting file attributes C:\Program Files\AdobeReader 9.0 GetLastError:1392 which I finally fixed myself and then to find that there is not any way to view multiple pdf's in one adobe 9 window--at least according to what can be found here on adobe, I'm just in tears. I'm not a technical person and I have things due on monday. This is very frustrating.

The change is due to Adobe's following Microsoft's user interface
guidelines. I would recommend getting MS to change its tune.

Switching tabs while working with Premiere Pro CS5

Hello there.
I am currently working with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and I notice that when I'm reproducing/previewing the timeline or am recording, for example, an audio track, everytime I switch tabs (switch to another window or to desktop), in this case the recording stops. I've searched around Preferences and in help files and I cannot find an option to make Premiere continue what he's doing despite me changing windows. Is this even possible? It would be very helpful.
Cheers!

>Is this even possible?
No... PPro must have full control of the computer to work... shift to another program and PPro stops

Different Text Size for different mobile devices and Tabbed View Application

Hi,
I am developing an sample mobile application to target all mobile devices (IPhone/IPad/IPod and Android).
I am facing an Issue that i am using default text size for the TextInput, TextArea and label but text size look so small for some devices, i discuss this with some(unkown) person(he is an IPhone developer).
He told me that in Iphone development for different devices they use different text size.
So how would I do the same at our Flex Mobile application ?
Please provide me help regarding this
There is one more problem in the application. I have tabbed view application, and i assign the firstview of the tab after 10 or more seconds of interval so that data will load in the application properly.
But issue is that my first tab is not show anything at first go. When we switch the tab then it loads the screen and application work fine.
Please provide me any help so that i can see the first Tab Screen.
Thanks

Hi there. For your font issue you need to set up a variable call it var fontSize or something. Then have an if statement that reads something like if (stage.stageWidth <= 320) fontSize=8 else if (stage.stageWidth > 320 || stage.stageWidth <= 640) fontSize = 12.
Then instead of giving your font a size give it the size of fontSize variable and it will check for stage width or whatever you base it on and apply that size to your text field.
I had done this for an app I did for Kellogg Garden Products but if you notice when you go from portrait to landscape mode the font size increases using this technique.

After update to Firefox 25, tabs will "go back" 2 to 3 pages, when switching tabs or exiting full screen.

It happens most frequently when exiting full screen from a video. i.e. youtube, dailymotion, nbc.com - any site with embedded video players.
When exiting full screen, the page skips backwards 2 to 3 pages. And no, I'm not clicking related videos while in full screen the whole time - this is while initiating full screen and exiting full screen, all from the same video page.
This happens less frequently when switching tabs - but if I switch to another tab, then back, the first tab will load the page I was on 2 pages ago.
More info: When this happens, the "forward arrow" is greyed out and the page that that loads is on the "back arrow" list twice - further down the list where it should be, as well as at the very top of the list, as though I had clicked on a link to that page.
This all started immediately upon restarting Firefox after updating to version 25 - no other changes have been made to my computer.

Thanks for the canned responses, but you guys are way off.
More information: It's related to HTML5 - whenever I fullscreen an HTML5 video, Firefox skips backwards to the most recent HTML5 video before that one, when exiting fullscreen. This last time, it skipped backwards past 4 pages that had no HTML5 content at all, to the one that did.

Hello
We are using JDeveloper 11.1.1.6
We have three 3 separate viewcontroller projects and one Master projects which i supposed to integrate all these projects into one.
Issue:
After putting all three together into the Master project, the app fails to deploy due to this error:
oracle.jbo.JboException: JBO-34010: The "adf/tabs/view/DataBindings.cpx" descriptor appears in the application classpath more than once:
We did some digging and found out that it is because of the fact that "DataBindings.cpx" in all three projects falls withing the default package. How do we rectify this issue. We cannot even Refector this file because that option is not available for this file. We have a demo soon, What can we do?
Thanks...

Hi,
this error typically comes from name clashes. Apparently you created ADF libraries (or projects) that contain a DataBindings.cpx file. The DataBindings.cpx file seems to be located in the same folder structure and thus could not be merged but are found to be added twice. When you create new view controller projects then best practice is to ensure the root package name is unique to avoid such issues.

Specifying items inside a tab view

Someone please help, I can't figure this out:
I'm building an app with Applescript Studio starting with the Table sample project. I had everything working until I messed with the interface moving things into tabs; now I don't know how to change the following line:
set contactsDataSource to data source of table view "contacts" of scroll view "contacts" of theObject
that's the original line that broke when I moved table into a tab (called "orders"). How do I change that line now that the table is inside a tab? I tried something like this:
set contactsDataSource to data source of table view "contacts" of scroll view "orders" of view of tab view "orders" of theObject
and variations of that, but no matter what I do, I can't seem to call it correctly. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I'm assuming that "theObject" is the window for the "will open" handler of the with.applescript.
It may be easier to see the hierarchical structure of your user interface objects by switching the Instances tab of your nib file from icon view to outline view. To do so, click the icon for list view in the top of the right-hand scroll bar (it's the lower icon; the top is for icon view). Then disclose the various triangles for your objects.
You almost have the right sequence. A tab view (NSTabView) consists of a series of tab view items (NSTabViewItem), one for each of the different tabs in the view. So, make sure your tab view item has an AppleScript name "tabViewItem" and then it should look like this:
set contactDataSource to data source of table view "contacts" of scroll view "orders" of tab view item "tabViewItem" of tab view "orders" of theObject
Hope this helps....

"X" in Safari tabs are gone: cannot close tabs

I cannot close tabs that I've opned in safari.
Any Ideas?

Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Test after each one and stop when the problem is solved. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Quit and relaunch Safari. Force quit if necessary.
2. From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm.
3. If applicable, uninstall Glims and/or an application called "RedQuits." Log out or restart the computer.
4. Start up in safe mode. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in. If you don't have the problem in safe mode, stop here and post your results. If you still have the problem in safe mode, go to the next step.
5. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Relaunch the application and test. If there's no change, quit again and put the item you moved back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, delete the item you moved. If possible, restore it from a backup that predates the problem.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Discussion of a similar problem occured on this forum in June 2010. At that time, the resolution seemed to be to upgrade to 9.0.3. Has anyone else encountered this problem with these versions?
Thanks.

Hi, Arnis,
Brilliant! Thanks so much. I only looked at the later discussions of that thread, which seemed to indicate the problem would be solved by an upgrade to 9.0.3.
