ComboBox Highlighted Text Problem

Greetings Flash Gurus...
Working with the ComboBox Component (MX 2004 Pro) and noticed
something weird.
I have an editable combobox with three selectable items. When
a longer item is selected, the text in the input box gets
highlighted only partially. In fact, it gets a selection highlight
of exactly the same number of characters as the previous one. It
looks silly if the default selection was "pear" and the user
changes it to "pineapple", and the first four characters are
highlighted. This does not happen when the user enters text, only
on selecting from the list.
Any thoughts on how to override this behaviour? Ideally, I
would rather have no selection/highlight, just a blinking cursor at
the end of the text. Alas, a change event handler and
Selection.setSelection isn't giving me any love.

Heeeey, cool that you found that!
I reported this ages ago (Re: SQLDeveloper 1.1.0.21.41 - Results display issues but wasn't aware the setting was taken from the OS. Now the developers don't have any excuse not to fix this.
Mind that different themes can change the text colour; the Sky themes aren't suitable for the default dark blue background, but for you it might be the perfect solution.
Also take up Furry's tip and customize the colour scheme through the Preferences.
Thanks,
K.

    Chester31,
    Thank you very much for sharing your file with us!  Now that we are able to reproduce the problem at our end, you may stop sharing the file on Acrobat.com.
    Do you know when this problem (for not being able to add new highlight/strikeout/underline) has started?  Did you update your iOS from 7.x to 8.0 recently?
    We will continue investigating the problem and let you know what we find.
    Thank you again for your help.

  • Acrobat X Highlight Text Tool Problem

    I am having trouble using the highlighter in Acrobat X. When one highlights text, the text is backlit with the color of the highlighter...at least that's how highlighting is supposed to work (and how it worked in Acrobat 9.x and how it works in Microsoft Word). My experience thus far is that when I hightlight text in Acrobat X, the highlight color is painted OVER the text, completely covering it so it can not be seen. Changing the opacity of the highlighter mere lets a very dim semblance of text show.  Below is an example of text highlighted in Acrobat X using the highlight tool, and for comparison, the same text hightlighted in Microsoft Word. In Acrobat the text is completely covered with the highlight color (and reducing the opacity of the highlighter doesn't solve the problem because the text is barely viewable until highlighter opacity is set to near ZERO).
    I would like to know how to get the highlighter to behave correctly (as it did in Acrobat 9.x and as it does in Word).

    Since posting this, I have uncovered a solution on other posts in this form:
    Go into Acrobat X prefs, then, under Page Display, UNcheck "Use 2-D Graphics Acceleration".
    What 2-D graphics acceleration has to do with highlighting text is a complete mystery to me...and apparently to others on this forum. Most importantly, the problem is resolved.
    I hope this helps others experiencing this problem...

  • Problem Highlighting Text in Acrobat 9 Std - Cursor-Highlight Mismatch

    I scan and often highlight the pdf documents I scan. I use Acrobat 9 Standard with Windows XP. Sometimes after I convert the page from an image to text so I can highlight text, the actual highlight does not cover the text I mark with my cursor. It sometimes highlights text above or below where my cursor is and on one occasion it was putting the highlight way down at the bottom of the page. Does anyone know why this happens and how I fix it?

    Hi,
    You might want to look at the "touch up reading order" in advanced, accessibility options. The document will be tagged and you will see the structure of the page. I suspect that it has formatted the text into columns - you can use this tool to clear the page structure and reformat to make the whole page just text reading from left to right.

  • Highlighting Text

    Hello
    Since updating Adobe Reader XI I have been unable to highlight text in any pdf document. While other functions, such as the insert text function work, highlighting does not. I have tried to change the base colour but that does not work either.
    I would be grateful for any help/tips.
    Regards
    Anthony

    Hello
    I opened three files:
    One says "Adobe PDF Library 2"
    Another says "Acrobat Distiller 8.0.0. (Windows)"
    Another says "1.5 (Acrobat 6.x)"
    However, in none of the does the text highlight work.
    Is a UK/English encoding problem eg Unicode instead of Western?

  • Highlighting Text Acting Like REDACTING Text

    Dunno what's goin on.   A Pro 9.  Windows Home, ALL UPDATES.
    I highlight text and instead of seeing the text highlited, the highligt COVERS the tex.  It's YELLOW colored REDTACTION. 
    I've REPAIRED the app TWICE.  I REBOOTED each time.   That APPEARED to have corrected the problem.   It DIDN'T because the REPAIR failed and the HIGHLIGHT BLOTTOED OUT the text.   I uninstalled and reinstalled the app.   I opened the last thing I was working on where the YELLOW HIGHLIGHT redacted the text and the text WAS VISIBLE while highlighted.   THEN I opened another PDF file and same deal, the YELLOW highlighting REDACTED rather than HIGHLIGHTED.
    Uh, is it a me thing?  Is it a thing I can chek or uncheck in A Pro 9?  Wassup with this weirdness?

    CS4 is not kind to those who don't know HTML/CSS well enough
    to avoid these
    errors, I'm afraid. It's really all about how much HTML and
    CSS you feel
    comfortable with, not the tool you are using. Should the
    page/site be
    rebuilt? I think so - at the least it should be taken apart
    and
    reassembled. Are the mistakes you made ones that you will
    make again? Yes,
    I think so.
    I don't want to sound harsh or pessimistic, but I think
    that's the bottom
    line. I assume you are building the site for her so that she
    wouldn't have
    the expense of paying someone to do it, right? But wouldn't
    you also want
    her site to be the best it can be, and not to look/behave
    like someone's
    first site?
    Now - if you want to bite the bullet and shove down some HTML
    & CSS, and
    muddle through, there is plenty of help here, but if you
    aren't carrying
    your load, people will tire of solving the problems you
    encounter.

  • Highlighting text in JtextArea

    I want to highlight text in a JTextArea each time the text changes and therefore i use a DocumentListener and also the following :
    public Highlighter.HighlightPainter redHighlightPainter = new DefaultHighlighter.DefaultHighlightPainter(Color.red);
    Highlighter hilite = gJTextArea.getHighlighter();
    hilite.addHighlight(bufferBegin , bufferEnd, redHighlightPainter);
    but the text remains black
    How can you explain this?
    Thanks

    I have used the same exact piece of code in a JTextArea and it works perfectly. Maybe your problem is elsewhere in the code because this should work fine. Are you sure that the Document listener is fireing when changes occur?

  • Highlighting text in a table cell

    Im trying to get text in a table have it background shaded a different colour to the rest of the table cell but it doesnt work. No exceptions are thrown does anyone have any idea.
    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table,
            Object value,
            boolean isSelected,
            boolean hasFocus,
            int row,
            int column)
            setFont(table.getFont());     
            this.setText(value));
            this.selectAll();
            this.setSelectionColor(new Color(0,0,255,100);
            return this;
        }

    The answer is similar to what someone else asked recently for highlighting text in a JFormattedTextField cell.
    class MyFocusListener extends FocusAdapter
    public void focusGained(FocusEvent e)
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
    public void run()
    selectAll();
    Put that in your cell editor or its base class. You can change the color or whatever you want. I think the problem is a timing thing where normal focus processing is interrupting your changes. So give the focus processing time to run with this Runnable triggering your processing to occur on the Awt thread (as is proper) after the system is doing whatever it wants to do. Let us know if it works for you.

  • Highlighting Text Freezes OS9

    When I highlight text in Quark or Simple Text in OS9, many times before I get to the end of the line, the computer freezes. Both Quark and Simple Text have been assigned much more memory than they need. I've run the system thru Disk Doctor and rebuilt the desktop and it still freezes when I highlight. Any suggestions?
    Thanks from Gina

    Have you tried starting up with just the apple basic extensions? To see if there could be an extension conflict.
    The only other thing that I could think of is it always the same font? Does it do it with other fonts? Possibly a corrupted font.
    I am not familiar with this problem, but that would be a couple of ways to trouble shoot.

  • Highlighting text in PDF document

    I am a surgeon and subscribe to lot of medical journals which are now increasingly made available for downloading in PDF format. I am used to highlighting the important text in an article with an ordinary hi-lighter pen to make it easy when I need to go back to that article.
    Is there a way one can highlight the text in a PDF document the way one can highlight it on a paper? Will professional versions of Acrobat solve my problem?

    A little late for the original post, but for anyone else looking to highlight text in Acrobat Pro 9 and be able to change the highlighter color...
    Accessing the highlighter tool:
    Right-click on the Toolbar.
    Select/check "Comment and Markup." This is the toolbar that contains the Highlight Text tool.
    Changing the highlighter color:
    You can right-click on the highlighted text and go to Properties, etc, but there's a more convenient method.
    While using the Highlight Text tool, turn on the Properties Bar (make it visible)
    Window:  Ctl+E
    Mac:  Cmd+E
    Mouse:  Right-click on the Toolbar and select/check Properties Bar.
    This will give you quick access to your highlighter properties, and it will remember your selected color between uses.
    The Properties Bar is context aware and will change based on the tool you're actively using, so you have access to change your highlight color through it when the Highlight Text tool is selected/in use.

  • Acrobat XI Pro crashing when changing highlighted text properties

    After install update 11.0.07 EVERY after highlighting a section of text and attempting to change the properties the program crashes, this is happening in ALL my documents with highlighted text
    Here is what I see, first screen shot is a PDF file that I received. To rule out errors in the first file I created the file in the second screen shot with the same results in both files when attempting to change the highlighted text properties ie CRASH
    I'm in two mind as to ether uninstall and re install and apply update 11.0.06 , as there was no problem then, as this only seemed to start when update 11.0.07 was applied. OR to totally remove and re-install and then apply update 11.0.07  and see if this continues

  • Acrobat: summarize highlighted text only in a new document?

    Hi everyone,
    I have marked some passages with the "highlight text"-tool in a big pdf file and want to extract only the marked text in a new file. Is this possible?
    So far I could only print a new file with information ABOUT the highlighted text, but not the highlighted text itself.
    This means I get a file telling me only who highlighted the text and when he did that.
    I'm using Adobe Acrobat X, but if you know another program that is able to do this please tell me!
    Thanks for your help!

    Although i generally recommend people to user PDFMaker as it provides more features. But if you have already converted the files using PDF Printer, you can also creates tags. Try this:
    1). Open PDF in Acrobat.
    2). Click on Tools-> Accessibility.
    3). Add Tags to document.
    4). Save the document and then try the steps I mentioned above. This resolves the issue related to Tags.
    You can also do that in MS Word once the PDF is tagged.
    1). Open MS Word. Click on Acrobat Tab
    2). Click on Acrobat Comments->Import Comments from Acrobat.
    3). Now Follow step 6,7,8, and 9 and you are done.
    Once you get the comments exported to word you need to change the layout of those using features in word.
    Also, you can try this:
    In the comments pane->Under Comments List-> Click on the bubbles and select Hide All Comments. No Click on the same bubble and select Type->Highlight. This will show you only Highlight annotations.
    Now Click on Options(Box) and select create comment summary.
    Under Comment summary select third radio button-> Comments Only.
    For Include option -> Select Only the comments currentyly showing.
    Click Create Comments Summary
    This will generate the PDF file with only highlight annotations.
    Now you can easily export this to MS Word, Using SaveAs-> Microsoft Word-> Word Documents.
    (This might create a problem if the highlighted tag is on a Scan document that is OCRed/ not OCRed. That may slightly change the layout). Otherwise its okey.
    Does that resolve the issue??
    I am not sure if i followed the second issue of yours. Is update a problem or adding Acrobat tab in Word?

  • JFX 2.0 -fx-highlight-text-fill style has no effect

    When I try to set the highlight-text-fill style for a TextBox, it has no effect. The highlight-fill style, however, works as expected.
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        final TextBox tb = new TextBox(100);
        tb.setStyle("-fx-font-size: 3em; -fx-text-fill: #0000ff; -fx-highlight-fill: #00ff00; -fx-highlight-text-fill: #ffffff;");
        final BorderPane root = new BorderPane();
        root.setStyle("-fx-padding: 20;");
        root.setCenter(tb);
        final Scene scene = new Scene(root, 600, 200, Color.BLACK);
        primaryStage.setTitle("JavaFX");
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.setVisible(true);
    }But this doesn't seem to be a problem of my custom styles because the default doesn't work either.
    The caspian.css in jfxrt.jar defines a white highlight-text-fill but when selecting the contents of a TextBox, the text color is black.
    Is this an error in caspian.css (maybe the style name is just misspelled) or a current limitation of the beta version?
    Regards,
    Kai

    Thanks David.
    In the meantime I noticed that -fx-prompt-text-fill seems to have the same problem. The prompt text is always gray, no matter which color I set in the style.

    Kai
