Cursor not changing to hand on a few sites...

There are a few websites where I have an intermittent problem problem with certain links that are normally clickable not changing my mouse cursor to the 'hand' when I hover over them. This has happened on Facebook, Grooveshark and a couple of others. Please note this doesn't happen EVERY time, but when it does it's always the same links, and always in the top left hand side of my screen.
Weirdly, the problem solves itself it I momentarily click away from that page (eg. open a new tab, then go back).
Any ideas anybody? I'm just wondering if it's my computer or Firefox that's the problem!

Safe mode is a temporary diagnostic feature of Firefox. You can exit it anytime and start Firefox normally again. Safe mode disables the installed '''Extensions''', themes ('''Appearance''') in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''. Hardware acceleration is also disabled - the manual setting is '''Tools''' > '''Options '''> '''Advanced '''> '''General '''> '''Use hardware acceleration when available'''. All these settings can be also manually toggled/changed to isolate the cause after starting Firefox in normal mode.

  • CSS Problem: Cursor Not Changing

    I want to set the cursor property in css to change the mouse
    cursor when over a certain element. However, it won't change to
    anything other than the hand (ie. cursor: pointer; works, but
    cursor: se-resize; doesn't). It all works perfectly in all browsers
    I've tried including Google Chrome which is also powered by webkit.
    So what's the go with Adobe AIR? Why can't I get the cursor to
    change to anything other than the hand/pointer.
    Thanks

    I just got the adobe creative suite 4 and Im trying to use photoshop but as soon as i boot up the software and create a new document my cursor starts off as the hand. Everytime I scroll over to the tool bar and select something different the cursor simply falls back on the main template as the "hand".  Do I have a posessed hand or something. Any answeres would really help. I've got to get these scenes done for a cartoon soon.

  • Cursor not changing

    Hi
    After I edit a cell of a JTable , a JOptionPane of type
    showConfirmDialog pops up, to give the user a choice
    to save the changes to the database.
    When I click Yes,the changes are commited in the database and a
    message is displayed that the changes were commited.
    My Problem is
    When I click the yes button in the JOptionPane, I am trying to change the cursor type to a WAIT_CURSOR, to last till the success msg from the database is displayed.But the cursor is not changing to the WAIT_CURSOR.
    My Code is
    int selec = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null,
    "Do you wish to save changes ?"
    "Table name",
    JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION );
    if(selec == 0)
    // None of these methods to change cursor are working
    myPanel.setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
    OR
    setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
    OR
    setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
    try
    // Call a file that commits the changes to the Database
    new set_di_details(param1,param2....);
    catch(java.sql.SQLException e){       }
    else
    // Do not commit the changes
    Any help is appreciated

    sharath25,
    Try setting the cursor on the glass pane of the main frame that your table resides in. For instance...
    // Set the cursor on the glasspane of the overall frame (this will also block
    // all user interaction until the process is complete.
    Component glass = {frame reference}.getGlassPane();
    glass.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
    glass.setVisible(true);Your database code would go here...
    // ...when completed the cursor is returned to normal and the glass pane
    // hidden (allowing the user to interact again).
    glass.setCursor(null);  // uses default system cursor.
    glass.setVisible(false);Of course, this should be done in the same thread that your database code executes in or it will instantly turn itself off.

  • Gnome cursor not changing

    I'm using Gnome 3 on a fairly new install. I have many of the xcursor packages installed, including xcursor-vanilla-dmz-aa which I'm trying to use. But when I select the cursor theme in gnome-tweak-tool nothing happens, the default cursor stays put. I've restarted the whole computer and confirmed that the changes persist in gnome-tweak-tool, but my cursor never changes. I've tried out other cursor packages and none of them work either.
    I'm not sure where to go from here, the wiki's all suggest that this should work (although I may be misunderstanding them), and there's no errors in any logs (that I can find anyway). halp?

    Your cursor-theme will be in:
    /usr/share/icons/
    Follow these instructions as root or preface each command with sudo (the default folder doesn't exist in a standard GNOME 3 install so you'll be creating it):
    mkdir /usr/share/icons/default
    cd /usr/share/icons/default
    echo "[Icon Theme]" >> index.theme
    echo "Inherits=YOUR_CURSOR_THEME" >> index.theme
    Replace "YOUR_CURSOR_THEME" with the name of the cursor theme you'd like to use.  Restart X.  Edit "index.theme" changing the name of the theme if you'd like to use a different one.  You also need to select the same theme in GNOME Tweak Tool as the one you put in this text file.

  • The url does not change when navigating to a new site or page. Back button is also inactive.

    I launch firefox 3.6.15 and it displays google main page. I perform a google search, get search results, click on a site link, and that page is displayed. All good. Here is the problem I am experiencing. The url for the site, however, is not displayed. Firefox still displays google.com and not the url for the page I am on. Additionally, the back button is inactive. So, I can never navigate back to the previous page. If I type in a url the same thing will happen. Forefox will display the typed in url and not urls for the pages I navigate to and the back button is inactive. Very frustrating.

    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.

  • Cursor does not change for pop-up window

    I created a link for a pop-up window. The link does work, but the cursor does not change to a pointy finger, the standard link icon.
    I don't know a lot of javascript, but can figure it out if it's just adding some code. Any help would be appreciated! Here's the code:
    function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0
      window.open(theURL,winName,features);
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Todd,
    i got the same problem.(cursor not change for pop-up windows) and because i m not an expert in internal html code i did try several solutions to fix it.
    The easiest (but also even longer if u need to do severals) is to create a button (withs 2 overflight changing pics) with "inserer", "image survolée"
    the "image survolée" can be linked to a pop-up window with the correct effect.  To do so highlight the "expected new link to" and on right side task bar ad a "comportement" named "ouvrir la fenetre du navigateur" and optionally choose the size and windows available function of the pop-up. It works even if u need to proceed first with an overflight changing button.
    The result is longer to obtain and not absolutely perfect. So I guess it s only an help solution for a single mateer. i would be glad to get another solution with a text link rather than using the overflight button system. Technically it should be better, more efficient and faster to proceed with applying an html code that really makes the text appearing as a classic link to a new windows whatever pop up or full size window. Please let me know if u get further answer to fix this problem.
    Many thx and excuse my technical english translation about DreamCs4

  • Statistic report with figures that will not change when rerun months later

    Hi,
    Is there any good practices that we can follow to create statistic reports with figures that will not change even when rerun after few months later?
    My scenario is my statistic report is generated based on data that is "alive" which means the record will get change after a period of time. So, if you generate the statistic report in for January 2006 in the month of January and regenerate in May for the January 2006 statistic, the figure is different. But what I want is to be able to get the same figures.
    I know in this case looks like we need some sort of summary tables, so posting this to get advice on the best way to design such summary tables. Please comment if there is other ways of doing it.
    Summary tables may work for statistic report, but how to support detail report listing where the records are required to be the same when it was generated few months ago.
    Please advise.
    Thank you.

    What happens, when you execute a report today is the following: a select statement is fired at the data base and the result set is displayed in the report. The data can change after the moment you launched your report. What you could do to keep the result set the same, is implementing a user parameter that fills your date discriminator.

  • Web links do not show as visited according to my color selection in content menu. visited siles/links should be in red, mine are not chsnging sfter a visit to a sits.

    web links do not show as visited according to my color selection in content menu. visited sites/links should be in red, mine are not changing after a visit to a sits. A good example would be a visit to a news article in google. mu colors are set to res for visited sites - it does not happen, in fact nothing changes

    Google is using a visited color (#551a8b) that is hardly distinguishable from the unvisited color (#2200cc), so may not notice it.

  • Cursor does not change and dock is not responding

    mac mini mid 2011, 10.9.5 logitech wireless keyboard and mouse (wave). Dell 20 something inch monitor with lighting to mini display to hdmi.
    My cursor will get stuck on the arrow and not change on text input fields or the index finger to select links. If it does change at some random point, it will stay to whatever it changes, until it decides to change again. This will change every 10 to 15 minutes depending on how heavy I'm using it. The dock is also not responsive. If it is hidden, it will not pop up, if it is up on magnify, it will not magnify. Once in a great while it will magnify, but only to one spot and will not change.
    In addition, when I hover the mouse, things will not appear or recognize the mouse, like a print or zoom on the bottom of a pdf, or even a field on some web pages. It will not allow me to select some fields. www.jobs.ca.gov is the best example, I can not type a search or select a position. One time I even had the system settings icon stuck to my mouse and could not put it back on the dock. It followed the mouse, when I would single click, it would stay where it was, unless it was at the dock. If I double clicked it would open.
    I've only had this mini for about 4 months, this problem has only been going on for the past couple weeks. There have not been any changes in those past few weeks that I'm aware of. I did upgrade to 2 4gb ram 6 weeks ago and did a software update to 10.9.5 about 2 weeks ago, but I was hoping that would fix this problem. It did not.
    I was also having tons of problems with safari about a week ago, but a reboot into a certain mode, then back to normal reboot solved that.
    Thanks everyone in advance for you time and help.

    I had this same problem and was searching for answers. I also prefer using a circle instead of crosshairs. I hope you've figured it out by now, but, if you haven't, here is the answer (I am using Elements 9, but, it should work for other versions I think):
    1. Open up Elements Editor, Click on Edit, Click on Preferences, Click on Display & Cursors.
    2. Under Painting Cursors, select Full Size Brush Tip
    3. (optional) - if you want crosshairs within your circle, then also select Show Crosshair in Brush Tip.
    4. Click ok.
    Now use the brush, and it should have a circle to use.
    P.S. Sometimes if you have your Caps Lock key on, that removes the circle as well.

  • Hand cursor not displayed when mouse is over JEditorPane hyperlinks in 1.5

    Java version 1.5 does not show a hand cursor when the user mouses over a hyperlink within a JEditorPane, which it did in version 1.4.x.
    Create a new JEditorPane. Then set the content type (setContentType) as "text/html". Then use setText to add an html hyperlink. When the user mouses over the hyperlink, the cursor remains a pointer cursor. The cursor used to change into a hand cursor symbolizing a hyperlink.
    p.s.) The hyperlink still works, the cursor just doesn't change.
    Has anyone noticed this? Has it been reported as a bug? Is there a workaround?
    Thanks for any/all help!

    I have the same problem which I cannot seem to solve. I have a JEditorPane in a JDialog, not a JFrame, and I do not get a Hand cursor over the link. If I use a JFrame, I get the hand cursor.
    Any ideas? I tried with setting the cursor by hand using
    pane.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR)); in the ENTERED-part of a slightly more advanced hyperlink listener (gets pane in constructor). But that did not help either.
    Here is the code. Check out the difference between JDialog and JFrame.
    import javax.swing.*;
    import javax.swing.border.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.event.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    public class HyperLink extends JDialog
         public static void main(String[] args)
              HyperLink h = new HyperLink();
              h.setVisible(true);
         public HyperLink()
              Container cp = getContentPane();
              JEditorPane p = new JEditorPane("text/html",
                                  "<html><body><a href='http://www.google.com'>Google</a></body></html>");
              p.addHyperlinkListener(new HyperlinkListener() {
                   public void hyperlinkUpdate(final HyperlinkEvent he) {
                       HyperlinkEvent.EventType type = he.getEventType();
                       if (type == HyperlinkEvent.EventType.ENTERED) {
                        System.err.println("entered");
                       else if (type == HyperlinkEvent.EventType.EXITED) {
                        System.err.println("Exited");
                       else if (type == HyperlinkEvent.EventType.ACTIVATED) {
                        System.err.println("Now going to " + he.getURL());
              p.setEditable(false);
              cp.add( p );
              pack();
    }

  • Something is wrong with the cropping.  It won't let me crop the picture.  Usually the arrow would appear so I can drag it to crop the image but now the little hand appear and does not change to the arrow.

    I cannot use my crop function in editing.  The little hand would not change to the arrow hence cannot drag to crop the image.  It just happened today.

    Lets start with details - what version of iPhoto and of the OS?
    anything else that might help figure this out?
