Control window behavior?

Experiencing quirky behavior (erratic, but becoming more frequent) with new window opening and movement activities.
Often, in onboard applications or Firefox browser, when attempting to reposition windows - as in, move to offer slight "reveal" of window behind subject window - the result is an infuriating and consistent "snap back" of the window I'm attempting to move... to a complete and exact overlay of the underlying window!
To add insult to injury, windows often "snap" to the top of the screen (21" iMac and 22" Cinema display) behind tool bars where I cannot access them to move or close, but must resort to simply "activating" them (by clicking on the window) and then closing the window altogether via keystroke combinatoins, and starting over!
At first, I believed that this behavior was specific to the Firefox browser, but soon realized that I'd been struggling with this within a multitude of onboard (non-internet-related) applications, as well!
Can't seem to locate any preference or control panels that influence this behavior... which occurs on both my G4/933 and my iMac G5/1.8, both of which are operating under OS X 10.4.7.
Cna anyone help?
Thank you!

1. Make a folder on your desktop
2. Go to Users/Library/Preference folder
3. Select all the "com.apple....plist" files, except com.apple.Dock.plist.
4. Drag them to the folder you made, on your desktop
5. log out and back in. Fixed?
Note: return any or all of those preferences, if you wish.

  • 3D Render Destination "Scene Window" Behavior

    Hello,
    I've been making good use of the 3D picture controls recently. Infact, I've gotten to the point where the rendering is painfully slow unless I use the scene window as the render destination, allowing for hardware acceleration. The problem is, a pop-up window is very inconvenient for the UI I'm designing. Does anybody know any tricks what might allow me to embed the window in the VI? I need the hardware acceleration but want to suppress that popup window behavior, essentially.
    Thanks

    If you have multiple VIs and you just want them all to show in the same window, it is possible to have the front panel of one VI load into a subpanel of another, thus one VI could have multiple VIs displaying different parts and manage how they fit together. See this example to find out how to do this. I'm not sure what this would do to the efficiency or hardware acceleration, but it would allow you to have seperate VIs run with different properties and have them all display to the same front panel without managing passing the data back and forth.

  • NO java control panel in windows system control window

    Hello together,
    there seems to be a bug/feature (?) not allowing me to use the plugin functionality of my J2EEsdk-1_4
    Situation:
    Before i installed the J2EE i had an already installed java plug-in 1_4_2 working fine on
    my Laptop giving my ms explorer 6.0 the Java VM needed. To avoid conflicts, i deinstalled
    this plug-in, before i installed the J2EE 1_4_2. The result was disapointing.
    There was NO java control panel in the windows2000 system control window after installing J2EE.
    There was no corresponding registration key in the registry anymore.
    Additionally there was no java related entrance to be seen anymore in the advanced internet and
    security options of my ms explorer 6.0.
    i have have found several trouble reports mentioned similar problems during the last months but unluckily
    no solution working for me.
    i did several tests with different java packages i downloaded today to get the actual versions
    First:
    i deinstalled the J2EE (not to get version conflicts) and installed the Java Plug-in 1.4.2 again.
    This was proposed from ms explorer, when i tried to open an internet page with javaplugins included.
    This plugin worked fine again. I could see and use the java panel and it enabled
    my explorer to use the java plugin.
    Second:
    i deinstalled the Java Plugin and installed the J2sdk_1_4_2 instead.
    The java plugin which is part of this package also worked fine.
    Third:
    i deinstalled the J2sdk_1_4_2 and installed the J2EEsdk-1_4-windows.exe.
    the same misbehaviour as mentioned before. No java panel icon can be seen
    in the windows system control, now registration......
    as a workaround i have installed now both, the J2eesdk (i want to learn about)
    and some additonal 100 MB java plug-in to enable my MS explorer to display
    java applets again.
    This is working fine again, but i really would prefer to have no need for two JREs.
    By the way:
    When i first opened the java control panel of the Plug-in and deactivated the update
    mechanism , this plugin got really angry immedialtely afterwards. As a result my
    laptop rebooted without coming up again. i had to initiate another hard reboot to get
    windows back
    i really would like to know , whats wrong me or the J2ee and i apriciate
    any hint.
    Best regards: yours aspirant

    One thing you could do if you by all means want to have only one single copy of 1.4.2 on your system is to install standalone J2SE 1.4.2 (this will accomodate your Java console and browser plugin requirements) and then install Application Server only distribution (on the download page this is referred to as "Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8") and sample applications set ("J2EE 1.4 SDK Samples "). In this way you get full content you would get in J2EE 1.4 SDK and all the benefits of standalone J2SE 1.4.2 installation.
    This is obviously more convoluted at installation time since there are 3 separate things to install, but it would seem to fit your requirements.
    Hope this helps...

  • Firefox Selenium Remote Control window does not close.

    Using Selenium 2.17 and/or Selenium 2.26 on Windows 7 we are having a problem with the Firefox Selenium RC (Remote Control) window not closing after the Selenium tests have completed.
    We did not have any issues when using Firefox 10.0.1esr, but when we upgraded to 10.0.10esr the problem showed up.
    Any ideas how to solve this problem? Our company requires us to be at the latest ESR release so going back to 10.0.1esr is not an option.
    Any plans to resolve this problem in another ESR release?
    Thanks,

  • Strange window behavior with CS5

    I have begun experiencing strange behavior with PS CS5. I should begun with the machine configuration: 2.66GHz iMac (8,1) Intel Core Duo with 4GB RAM and OSX 10.6.6, Radeon HD 2600 Pro graphics card. The initial symptom showed up suddenly as an inability to display an image window; that is, I could open PS normally, everything would show up properly, but when I opened an image file of any sort, there would be no image window. Other cues indicated that the file was open; for example, the window menu would show it selected, and the layers palette would show the file's layers.
    It did not seem to matter what type of file was involved: PSD, JPG, TIF, whatever. Occasionally, this behavior would begin during a session. Sometimes it would happen right off the bat. Sometimes, stopping and restarting PS seemed to clean things up; other times, this had no effect. After messing around quite a bit with different permutations and combinations, all I could say was that the problem was random.
    I might add that I've had PS CS5 on this machine pretty much since it was announced, and had not had problems with it before. So this issue came along quite suddenly a couple of weeks ago. This was a little after I'd installed an update for Nik's Viveza 2; and I began to suspect that. Although why Viveza should do such a strange thing was odd, and Viveza was never part of the files I was experiencing issues with. Anyway, I went back to an earlier version of Viveza and the problem persisted.
    Since I run Time Machine, I also went back to versions of the entire PS folder from a month back, and found the same problem. Along the way, I experimented with the files I was using with PS CS4 & CS3, which I also have installed on this machine. These two versions of PS run perfectly well. At least the CS4 version has precisely the same plugins as the CS5 folder, and this seems to discount the potential problem with plugins.
    To be sure about CS5, I completely deactivated, deinstalled, and reinstalled it. The same issues occurred. Now, I have to admit that I let PS run its update process so that I brought it back to the most recent version in this step of my troubleshooting. So, I can't be certain that the issue isn't with some update of CS5.
    I might add that I have been running CS5 in 32-bit mode, for compatibility with certain plugins. This may or may not be an issue, since I have limited experience with running in 64-bit mode. At this point, I should add a bit more about the confusing behavior.
    While messing around with CS5, I also suspected the GPU support, since my problem had to do with windows. When the problem presents itself, the usual cycle through window views that you get by pressing the "F" key seems to get messed up. In particular, the "F" key doesn't work at all. Next, if you use the View menu to select different views, the full screen with menu bar view will often have garbled pixels, while the full screen view will show a blank grey screen. Then, cycling back to a window view will show a window with blank grey contents. This is interesting since the starting point was no window at all; but going into full screen and then back will produce a window with bogus contents.
    Now, the next strange thing, having to do with the GPU, is that CS5 often fails to recognize the Radeon HD 2600 card. Oddly enough, it did originally. And I had it running in Basic mode. However, CS4 does recognize the GPU; and I can set it in any variety of modes: Basic, Normal, and Advanced. This behavior is not consistent at all either; that is, while CS5 almost always now fails to detect the GPU, sometimes it does. As near as I can tell, this failure to detect the card does not depend upon whether I start CS5 in 32-bit or 64-bit mode. OTOH, CS4 always recognizes the GPU.
    Another form of this odd behavior arises if I start CS5 cold, and then just open a new blank window. This almost always works. I get a blank white window, and I can paint on it with a brush, etc. However, if I go ahead at this point and open a file, then the new file takes over the window; and there are no tabs. If I select the original new file, usually labelled "Untitled", the window bar will show the change of filename but the window's contents and the layers palette will continue to show the old file that I had opened. Cycling through views can sometimes get back to the new Untitled file, but just selecting file windows never works.
    Yet another aspect of this messed up window behavior is that the workspace bar, which shows the Bridge, MiniBridge and view icons on the upper left and the various workspace options and CS Live on the upper right, is present but blank. OTOH, the tool bar is always displayed correctly, as is the horizontal bar that shows the various tool options. Likewise, the palettes for the workspace such as layers, swatches, adjustments, and so on, are always correctly displayed on the left.
    My next steps in trying to figure this out will be to ensure that I am running the latest of all plugins so that I can get everything running in 64-bit mode and try this again. However, the single factor that seems consistent in this whole mess is that whenever I do find this odd behavior, the performance preferences window will indicate that CS5 is not detecting the GPU. Whenever this happens, if I open up CS4 and check the same performance preference in it, the GPU is detected. I can have the two preference windows side by side on the screen in fact, CS4 sees the GPU and CS5 does not. The counter-indication is that sometimes CS5 will work properly and the preferences window still shows that the GPU has not been detected. Having said that, I can add that if I have opened up CS5, and it has found the GPU, and I have set it into, say, Basic mode, and then later found CS5 messing up, and I go back and check the performance preferences again, the GPU has always been lost. So, CS5 can mess up windows with or without the GPU detected and active; but when if it started with the GPU present, it will show up as lost after the weird behavior starts.
    To add one more observation, I have had Macs and other computers with failing GPUs. This computer is showing none of the typical signs of that. Every other program seems to be working just fine, and I have a lot of these, many graphics intensive; e.g., Corel Painter 11, Parallels v6 running Windows 7, PS CS4, Lightroom v3, Aperture v3, and so on. It is just CS5 that is messing up.
    I could load up this message with screen shots of all this nonsense, but I'm not sure what that would add to the strange tale, other than I'm not pulling your legs. I am, however, pulling out my own hair.
    As I stated before, this began quite suddenly a couple of weeks ago, early Feb 2011. My best guess as to cause is some combination of incompatible updates between CS5, OSX, and maybe some plugin or other. I found unusual behavior with onOne's FocalPoint v2 last year after Apple updated GPU drivers in some OSX update, and cratered that program. It took onOne a month or two to fix that. I have CS5 on a laptop with the same OSX version, and on that I haven't seen these issues; but then, I haven't been using it as intensely over there. Also, that machine has different CPU and GPU models than this iMac.
    So, to the community: is anybody else starting to see this odd stuff? Am I alone?

    Here's the reason I say that the same plugins exist for both CS4 & CS5. Sometime last year, the internal hard drive on this computer died (as they so often do), and it was replaced under the Apple care warranty. As a consequence, I decided to rebuild the OS and applications from scratch and bring back my user files from backup. I among other things, I reinstalled all of CS4 as well as CS5 (and I had to put CS3 back too for reasons having to do with printing calibration images for Quad Tone RIP). Then, I went to reinstall the plugins that I needed. I use Nik Software, onOne, Portrait Professional and various Topaz plugins. To my recollection, most of these install in PS CS3, CS4, CS5, Aperture, and Lightroom. In short, it is not that I've copied or moved plugin folders from one application folder to another, just that the installers automatically detect the presence of the various applications and put the various plugins into each, as appropriate.
    The only 32-bit plugins that I have that don't fit into this category are from Vincent Versace. He provides special versions of certain Nik plugins (Tonal Contrast, Contrast Only, etc) that function with some Acme Educational extensions for performing B&W conversion, sharpening, blah blah blah. These plugins are only 32-bit and the extensions are only CS5 compatible. I've installed these ones only into CS5; so, you've got me. OTOH, I've had these from Vincent as soon as CS5 was available; and they've worked so far without problems. Perhaps I should just edit the extensions so I could use the latest plugins direct from Nik instead of the Versace special editions...
    I've checked fonts and repaired permissions. I am presently going through the rather tedious process of disabling plugins and extensions to see if anything yields consistent results. The rather random arrival of the strangeness makes ensuring that a change is really having an effect more difficult to validate, as you will appreciate.
    I apologize for my long-winded original post. I add all of the detail so that anyone who'd experienced similar strange behaviors might properly pattern-match what they were seeing. On the one hand, in finding the cause of a problem, you look for what's changed; and theoretically nothing is new. On the other hand, there's always so much changing behind the scenes with automatic updates of this, that, and the other thing that it's impossible to make the claim that nothing's new. 

  • Why is iTunes window open in every mission control window

    I have a 27" iMac with the latest Mac OS and the latest version of iTunes. I have my iTunes library installed on an external Hard Drive. When I open iTunes, every mission control window has an open iTunes window? 10 screens 10 open iTunes windows? This is very annoying! How can I fix this so only one iTunes window is open on one mission control screen?

    Hey llsorens,
    Thanks for the question.  Take a look at the resource for Mission Control below.  It sounds like in your Mission Control preferences, you have the options set to All Desktops, which means the application (iTunes) will appear in every space.
    OS X Yosemite: Work in multiple spaces
    https://support.apple.com/kb/PH18757?locale=en_US&viewlocale=en_US
    Assign apps to spaces
    If you assign an app to a particular space, it opens in that space by default.
    Press and hold an app’s icon in the Dock. You may have to first open the app from Launchpad to see its icon in the Dock. 
    From the shortcut menu that appears, do one of the following:
    Have the app open in the current space: Choose Options > This Desktop. 
    The app appears only in that space. However, if you open the app in full screen, it appears in its own space. 
    Have the app open in the current space on a specific display: Choose Options > Desktop on Display [number]. 
    Have the app open in every space: Choose Options > All Desktops. 
    The app appears in every space.
    Have the app open in whichever space you’re using at the time: Choose Options > None. 
    In Mission Control preferences, you can also specify that, when you switch to an app, your desktop should switch to a space with open windows for that app. To open Mission Control preferences, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Mission Control.
    Hope that helps ...

  • Preloader Image Script and Pop-Up Window Behavior

    Hello --
    My client's referring site --
    www.moscaritolo.com/originals.htm. Please note: I am not a
    programmer, but more of a designer and don't possess the skills of
    writing code so in the development of this site for my client, I
    decided to use this preloadslider -
    http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex14/preloadslide.htm
    - by Jason Moon to display the images. So far, I really like it and
    so does my client.
    However, I now have a problem with the pop-up window behavior
    for the triptych image on the originals.htm page. When you hit the
    triptych pop-up behavior, the preloader stops working on the main
    page and (#) stays in the address bar even when you've closed the
    pop-up window for the triptypch image. Next, I tried just making
    the word triptych a standard link to a new htm page and using the
    back button on the browser and STILL, the preloader will not work
    properly..? Any ideas..?

  • Idropped iPad and volumn control now stuck.  Can I at least get volumn control window in middle of screen to go away?

    I dropped my iPad and volumn control button is now stuck.  Can I at least get volumn control window in middle of screen to disappear?

    Your warranty is actually one year - the 90-days is only for free telephone support - but the warranty would not cover damage due to the iPad being dropped. I doubt there's anything you can do to fix the rocker, so you'll probably need to pay to get the iPad exchanged (by Apple) or repaired (by a third party repair service).

  • Can i change depreciation and prorate calendar in book controls window?????

    Hi all
    I am using FA module.
    I tried to find this on documentation but i did find it. I want to be sure if i can change the depreciation and prorate calendar on book controls window??
    If it is possible to change this information, please tell me how can i do this or if there is any profile option for this purpose.
    Thank you and best regards
    Ernest

    You can't change depreciation and prorate calendar on the book level, this way isn't supported and I think a hard coded update dosn't works.
    If you will change these, you must implemented a new asset book and migrate the existing data into this book

  • Strange 'Top Window' behavior in L8

    I've noticed this one for a while - curious if it's a common 'bug'.
    When L8 is open and I switch to another app, like Safari for example, sometimes one or two of Logic's plugin windows will remain 'on top' of my display. I have to go back and switch screen sets to clear it.
    Also, if I'm in another app and I click on one of Logic's windows (plugin window, or environment mixer for example), it does NOT activate Logic as the 'active' application. Even though I can move faders in the mixer, for example, my top screen menu still shows Safari as the 'active' application. Again, I have to use the command-tab App Switcher to get Logic Pro as the active app.
    Anyone else experience this? It's pretty much a 'full time' behavior on my system.

    Yup - same here. Switching applications seems to confuse Logic which I don't recall in LP7. I switch often to Audacity, Amadeus or stand-alone Melodyne, and I also see the "Logic not active' behavior with the mixer being active.
    The windows behavior in general seems strange .v. LP7 generally, and the entire window handling, and focus not shifting when windows are changed within 8 is different; probably related. I seem to be clicking around more to get to where I need to be. I use dual monitors and separated windows and screen sets.

  • Trouble with the Open Browser Window behavior

    I have a page with thumbnail images. I want to be able to
    click the thumbnail and have a new window open with just that image
    in the window. If I don't assign a link to the thumbnail, and
    select the Open Browser Window behavior, the only 3 options for
    when to open the window are onLoad, onError, or onAbort. I want it
    to be opened onClick. If I do assign a link to the image, and then
    select the Open Browser Window behavior, it gives me the option to
    open the window onClick. However, when I test it, it opens 2 new
    windows - the one I want, and the one that is the link that I
    assigned to the image.
    I can't figure this out! Any help would be greatly
    appreciated.
    Sam

    You must always do the following when applying behaviors to
    images:
    1. Assign a link to the image first, even if it is a null
    link. Use the
    Property inspector to do this.
    2. Click on the image in Design view, then click on the
    <a> tag that you
    see on the Tag inspector bar at the bottom of the document
    pane so that the
    anchor tag is selected.
    3. Now apply your behavior.
    You *can* usually truncate this process as follows -
    1. Select the image in Design view and make sure that
    <img> is selected on
    the Tag selector bar.
    2. Apply the behavior.
    3. Use the behavior panel to set the event desired to
    <A> onClick, or <A>
    onMouseOver, or any of the appropriate "<A>" containing
    items in the list.

  • Have keyframes in effect controls window coincide with main time line

    Hello,
    Is there any way I can have the time line in my effects control window coincide with my main time line ?
    Example,  I add keyframes along my main time line, but any time I wish to edit  them, I need to scrub my effect controls window timeline to get to that
    spot  that coincides on the main time line.  I'm just wondering how I can  have both time lines show the same area at the same time.
    So  if I'm at the end of my time line, and add a keyframe, and then wish to  just scrub or move my cursor to the beginning of my main time line, the
    time  line in the upper window ( effects control window ) does not reflect  the area of the main time line I am currently at, I need to actually  click the time time
    line ( main time line ) in order to "refresh" the upper effect control window time line.
    Thanks for any advice,
    Dave.

    Hi Jim,
    that's what I mean, thanks for info.  I guess this isn't a popular want from users, I just thought it would be neat if we could do this, it's not a big deal, but I thought
    I would ask.  Thanks for the informatiion - at least I know now.

  • New window behavior change FF 29.0.1

    New window behavior changed with FF 29.0.1. I have a custom page that I built that has a bunch of links to sites/pages that I visit frequently. Every one of the links on that page begins with &lt;a target="_blank" href=" &gt;
    I typically keep this page maximized and until FF 29.0.1, when I clicked one of those links, it opened in a new maximized window. If I had the page restored instead of maximized, when I clicked one of those links it opened in a new restored window. In other words, the new window was opened in the same window state as the page from which I clicked the link. Now, when I click a link on a maximized window, it opens in restored view and I have to manually maximize it. It's a pain in the patoot.
    I'd like to know how to change FF to return to the previous behavior and also why someone felt it was necessary to change this behavior.

  • DVD player has two control windows, can't press any buttons.

    The internal disk drive on my Late 2009 Mac mini has been non-functional for longer than I've had it. However, I've never really needed it until recently. But when I tried using my new external drive (which runs perfectly and is most certainly not the source of the problem) I encounter one of the strangest glitches I've ever had using Macs!
    The DVD player uses the old (brushed metal, 10.6-style) control panel in the bottom-right corner... Until I turn on full-screen. Then the GUI changes to a glazed black appearance (10.7-style) and all of the controls are unresponsive. The features can be triggered by the hotkeys (space bar to play/pause, etc.) but none of the actual buttons can be clicked on. The interface still fades in and out with mouse movement though.
    But it starts getting really strange when I exit fullscreen again. Now the brushed metal interface has odd white corners as if the alpha channel is being ignored! https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14403620/brokeninterface.tiff And what's more, though I was unable to reproduce this after a few attempts, once it actually brought the normal control window into fullscreen! There were then two contol interfaces, neither of them could be pressed (though the normal one works outside of fullscreen) and the normal one could still be dragged around the screen yet wouldn't fade away when idle!
    Now please note that I am running OS-X 10.7.5 upgraded from 10.6 in the past and the DVD player may not have been original to this computer. I am also using SIMBL and Maximizer and have both Quicktime 7 and Quicktime X installed.
    There are thus many things which could be causing the issue, but I have no idea what actually is.
    Any insight would be appreciated. I can provide more information if nessesary.

    Stan -
    Thanks again for the simple but valuable tip.
    I'm just going to repeat the relevant sections from my previous post with the screenshots this time:
    Below you'll see a snip of how my current folder structure appears. It's identical to yours, except there are no button files in the General Folder. Since you were kind enough to include a file name, I did a search on that specific one and it's nowhere to be found on my hard drive. Hmmm....
    I've seen others remark on how... "challenging".... Adobe's instructions can be sometime. I'll admit to having the same feeling when I was trying to download and install all the content files and the 7-zip stuff. Is the answer somehow that I screwed up that?  Note the 7-zip folder right above the Adobe folder. Here's a screen shot of that expanded folder contents:
    Does that look like you think it should? Have I not installed or extracted something correctly?
    Finally, the only other thing I can think of to give you as much info as you might need is to include a screenshot of where the "Functional Content" stuff got saved. Adobe's instructions about this (if I recall correctly) were that it did NOT have to be installed anywhere specific, but you then had to go into Encore (& Premiere) and through preferences point to this stuff, which I believe I did. But I don't see any button type files in these anyway.
    Other thoughts or advice?
    Thanks!

  • Cannot find "Midi Destination" drop menu in External Instrument control window...

    I'm using Logic X Pro, and am attempting to use Sylenth as a VST. In order to do so, I watched this video tutorial...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4I-mNj-TLGM at minute mark 5:39, the External Instrument control window is displayed, and a drop down menu item titled "Midi Destination" is shown. I am not seeing that on my Logic.
    Can anyone please speak to this? Can you see this option in your window?
    Thanks so much.

    Hello there, ThatsMyGig.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides information for having that feature become available for you in Logic Pro X:

    MIDI Synchronization settings are only available when Show Advanced Tools is selected in Advanced preferences.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities
