Combo boxes appear in reverse and info cannot be read when selected

Half of my combo boxes appear normal and half appear with the drop down arrow on the right side of the box. the choices, when selected, appear above the arrow and are barely legible. some of the boxes appear perfectly normal and some are like this with no apparent reason as to why. I have not changed combo box settings through the duration of my project to make this happen, so it appears random. . . I have already done hundreds of pages and need to go back and check all of these again but need to do it right this time!
any help would be great,
thanks all

My mistake, the combo boxes in question are appearing inverted where the arrow appears on the left side facing upwards. and the answers, when chosen, appear above that arrow and are cut off by the top edge of the combo box.
i also just found out that it does not happen in some pdf viewers. when viewed in adobe reader or google chrome it's fine, but when viewed in Mac Preview the inverted arrow happens.
could there be a bug in preview?
thanks for the responses guys!

  • I uploaded music in the match and when i want to play it in my phone, some of the tracks appear blocked (blanked) and a few not. When I'm connected through a wi fi spot, i can play all of the tracks. Help!

    Hi,
    You need a wifi connection to stream. Previously played tracks appear in a temporary cache which allows them to be played again when yOu have no wifi..
    You can either predownload selected tracks or use cellular data.

  • Firefox highlights search boxes in light blue and I cannot see what I'm typing. How do I fix this?

    Recently firefox started highlighting the background color in search boxes/fields (ie. google) in a light blue color and I cannot see what I'm typing in the field. Please help.
    Thanks.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • A "Caret Browsing" box has popped up and I cannot get rid of it.

    This box just showed up and even when I tell it not to show me again and click no it does not go away. If I try to move it it pops back to the middle of my screen. Currently there are 4 of them now on my desktop. I did not download anything and do not think that I pressed F7 key to start this dialog. How do I get rid of this? I do not want or need it. This also opens when I closed Firefox and tried to us IE to look it up and see what it was.

    hello acskip, i don't know if it may be related but you can try to remove the ''WiseConvert G2 Community Toolbar 3.18.0.7'' extension in firefox > addons > extensions...

  • Email cannot be read when it is only digitally signed

    I, and my boss (using a Curve) have been having continuous trouble with reading emails that have been digitally signed.  Now, before people start running down the basics, here's what I have done so far:
    1.  Installed latest ROM for both devices, still waiting on 4.5 for my 8830...
    2.  Installed S/MIME application on both devices
    3.  Installed latest Desktop OS on both machines and synchronized certificates from desktop to device and back
    Here is the systems we are using:
    1.  Exchange 2003
    2.  BlackBerry Enterprise Server (version unknown, not my department)
    3.  Verisign certificates, managed on-site
    Here are some of the caveats we are experiencing.
    1.  We can read signed and/or encrypted messages from Outlook (03/07), Entourage (04/08), and Thunderbird problem-free
    2.  We can read signed AND encrypted, or encrypted ONLY, messages from Mulberry, but we cannot read signed ONLY messages from Mulberry
    There is no error message, in fact everything "looks" normal, we are just unable to view the body of the emails.  What we do see is similar to this:
    Received Using: <mailbox> (S/MIME)
    Message Status: Opened
    To: <me>
    Sent: <date>
    From: <Mulberry User>
    Subject: <subject>
    <img><img> Trusted
    [1 Attachment]
    application: Unknown (2K)
    The <Mulberry User> did some research and sent me the following information:
    This is a signed message sent from Outlook:
    MIME-Version: 1.0
    Content-Type: multipart/signed;
            boundary="----=_NextPart_000_00CE_01C99022.D841F9A0";
            protocol="application/x-pkcs7-signature";
            micalg=SHA1
    This is a signed message sent from Mulberry:
    MIME-Version: 1.0
    Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=sha1;
     protocol="application/pkcs7-signature";
     boundary="==========45CF5864B8BBBF80D9D4=========="
    See any difference between those two?
    According to the RFC, the "application/x-pkcs7-signature" MIME type is supposed to be handled, by clients, the same as the "application/pkcs7-signature" MIME type, which is the "correct" MIME type.  So Mulberry handles it correctly.  Outlook does not.  And neither does the Blackberry.  Because *all* clients *should* honor both types.
    http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/05nov/RFCs/rfc2311.txt
    "C.1 Early MIME Types
    Some early implementations of S/MIME agents used the following MIME types:
       application/x-pkcs7-mime
       application/x-pkcs7-signature
       application/x-pkcs10
    In each case, the "x-" subtypes correspond to the subtypes described in this document without the "x-"."
    "This memo also discusses how to use the multipart/signed MIME type defined in [MIME-SECURE] to transport S/MIME signed messages. This memo also defines the application/pkcs7-signature MIME type, which is also used to transport S/MIME signed messages. This specification is compatible with PKCS #7 in that it uses the data types defined by PKCS #7."
    3.4.1 Choosing a Format for Signed-only Messages
    There are no hard-and-fast rules when a particular signed-only format should be chosen because it depends on the capabilities of all the receivers and the relative importance of receivers with S/MIME facilities being able to verify the signature versus the importance of receivers without S/MIME software being able to view the message.
    Messages signed using the multipart/signed format can always be viewed by the receiver whether they have S/MIME software or not. They can also be viewed whether they are using a MIME-native user agent or they have messages translated by a gateway. In this context, "be viewed" means the ability to process the message essentially as if it were not a signed message, including any other MIME structure the message might have."
    This means that the Blackberry is required, by RFC, to be able to read a signed message even without the aid of S/MIME capable software.  The fact that it does not is a failure of the Blackberry.
    The above email was in reference to the fact that all of these emails that cannot be read on the devices, can be read in Outlook, and when a signed message is sent from Outlook, it can be read on the devices.  Furthermore, this is not to say that the information above is 100% valid and correct, but I am hoping that it sparks some discussion and hopefully a resolution can be found.
    Thanks for your time in reading this.

    Well not 100% sure but in my experience the following setting is the problem "Enable S/MIME Encryption on Signed or Weakly encrypted messages". This setting is a per server setting and is found in the general options of the server.
    When this is set to true the BES encryptes the message again over the signed message...but then for some reason unknown it doesn't decrypt it back when the client reads it.
    Maybe you could ask your admins and try it out and see if it works...

  • Apparently, I downloaded "Kindle for Mac, Twice. It appears in preview and desktop. cannot access nor register.Please advise?

    Apprently, I downloaded "Kindle for Mac" twice. It appears on my Desktop and Preview. Cannot access not register it
    Please advise?

    Yes, I didn't think it was very good either!
    You are correct in I should have said "Repair Disk" - Verify Permissions is not available on the maxtor drive ( it is dimmed) in Repair Disk.
    Until now, the drive has worked perfectly, and I did not install any of Maxtors software when I originally connected the drive to this system, I just formatted it as a Mac Extended and it worked great. It was only after the fresh Erase & Install - even then it worked fine. It was only when I created a new account that the problem started.
    What I have done is get hold of a demo version of a program called "Mac Drive 6" which allows you to read any Mac formatted disk or drive on a Windows system, - fortunately i still have my Windows XP Pro system which I have also connected to my home network.
    So for the next four days (the length of the demo) I can access all of my files on the disk and copy them to my Windows system.
    This is really great because I have all my data and images back which were my biggest concern.
    I thought I might get another drive anyhow, and when I have everything backed up on a new drive and on the Windows system, I can then reformat the Maxtor drive and start afresh with it.
    Thanks for all your help anyhow.

  • Every time I open Reader XI I get a box that pops up and says "Cannot open in protected mode due to

    incompatible system configuration"

    Hi sdc01522,
    Please help me in understanding your problem better as on normal Win7 machines we don't get these issues.
    Can you please let me know the following:
    1) Exact operating system like Win7 or WinXP or Win8 (32bit or 64 bit) (Home, Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate) (Goto Computer , right click and you'll see the details in Windows Edition and system)
    2) Any antivirus/ antimalware/ encryption software installed in your system? (It might be stopping Adobe Reader to open with protected mode enabled)
    3) Are you login with any specific kind of user or normal administrator user ?
    4) Is your system a part of any special file system?
    5) Have you installed Adobe Reader at the default location (For 32-bit systems it is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0 and 64-bit it is C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0 ) or any other location?
    Thanks,
    Shakti K

  • Logical Reads are very high when run as sproc and very less logical reads when run as a script

    Hello 
    Have a question, 
    when i execute a sproc. i get a very high logical reads count and when i run the same sproc converted into script it has very low logical reads what does it mean..

    I would like you to check query plan during ad-hoc run versus stored procedure execution. As other pointed out it could be due to parameter sniffing.

  • Radio, tv and YouTube give no sound when selected - why not ?

    When I select a (BBC) radio program, tv program, play a sample track from an Amazon CD, or a YouTube clip I get no sound . . . yet I get sound with IE, Chrome, and Safari, and also BBC iPlayer. I also get sound from stored tracks on my Windows Media player.

    I tried all of these things... Updating Flash, clearing the Flash cookies, clearing the cache, updating Firefox... and I still have no sound in Firefox. Nothing is muted via Flash when I'm on websites like YouTube and Tumblr. I'm using Windows XP, and everything else seems fine. Sound works in other programs like VLC Player and iTunes, so I'm not sure what's going on.
    Help, please? I'm usually the one in my family that can actually fix this kind of thing, so I'm feeling pretty frustrated.

  • I want to download and install adobe flash player. When I do so one occur. A dialog box appears but it has no run option but a save file or cancel option.

    # Question
    I want to download and install adobe flash player. When I do so one of 2 things occur. A dialog box appears but it has no run option but a save file or cancel option. The other is if the proper dialog box appears, I agree and the a different box appears and there is foxfire with a red circle with a diagonal line across is appears.

    I find the easiest way to install Adobe Flash is to use the manual installers. You just need to download the installer to your computer, then run it to install Flash. For more details see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller
    That link states you should uninstall earlier versions, as you don't have the version of Flash used by Firefox you can skip that step.
