Cursor problem with dialogs

Hello all!
I'm having this problem with cursors:
I have a frame, and when an action in process, a modal dialog is displayed with the message "Please wait...". During the operation I set the cursor of the modal dialog and the frame to "Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR".
My problem is that only when the mouse is over the modal dialog, only then the cursor is WAIT_CURSOR (I want to be WAIT_CURSOR all over the frame). Most probably this is because the frame is not active (because of the modal dialog) and so the cursor is not changed there.

stebou, adammc, welcome to the forum,
you could try turning off the touchpad tapping feature, or reducing it's sensitivity. It maybe that you are brushing the touchpad whilst typing. Using the Fn + F8 key combination will get you to the UltraNav settings.
Hope this helps

Any idea how to fix this ?
Thanks In Advanced.

I am also having the same problem with movieclip objects made in Flash with buttonMode set to true and useHandCursor = true; The same files show the hand cursor on older versions of Safari. Does anyone know any workarounds?
Here is a link to the project I noticed it on. The "Play","Cover", "Tracks" buttons, etc. should show the hand cursor:

Cursor problems with new mac pro and cs4

I am having a major problem with my cursor in photoshop cs4 extended.
any tool i select as soon as i touch it to the canvas the tool turns to a black mac arrow cursor.
this is extremely annoying and makes brushing anything almost impossible as i can't see the edge of my brush because it turns to an arrow as i try to use it. (it starts out at the correct size before i actually brush with it)
i have my brush set as normal and precise tools are set but this problem happens with any brush and tool setting
I have tried turning off Open GL advanced redraw, all that.
I have the stock nvidia gt 120 - is it a video card problem? should i have gotten the ati 4870?
should i reinstall cs4?
my system is a base octo 2.26 with 6 GB ram - no scratch disk setup yet - waiting on the drives and more ram to come.
thanks all...

um...not to detract from the other users problem but mine has nothing to do with displacement of the cursor
i have uninstalled CS4 suite, reinstalled it, repaired permissions and deleted prefs.
I am still getting the arrow whenever I click the cursor with any tool to the canvas.
I am a pro p-shop retoucher - this is making CS4 essentially UNUSABLE - i will only be able to use CS3 and all this after I spent 600 for the "upgrade"?
I have to teach at a retouching seminar soon and i will have a very poor working knowledge of CS4 as a result
I can't find any similar complaints at nvidias site or on here
any help is still needed!

Cursor problem with T500.

Hello all!
I have a T500 and have a problem with the cursor. When I type text in Word or Excel or any other application, sometimes, the cursor goes anywhere in the page in the middle of my typing. I thought : it can be the touchpad, so I type without touching anything and the cursor did the same erratic move.
I tried to disable the touchpad, but it continue tu react erratically.
Can someone point me to a solution please?
Thanks in advance!

Cursor problems with Photo shop Elem.9 on windows 7

Help, can any one help me I have been operating Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 on Windows 7 for about a year and have found it very good but suddenly If I want to use tools such as Crop. Stamp etc I get THREE icons displayed which makes it impossible to use, I have run the updates but nothing has changed. I ALSO have P.E. 9 on my lap top which runs on Windows Vista and there is NO problem on my lap top.

I suspect it may have something to do with your monitor settings. Go to the control panel and check dpi scaling under Appearance or Display.
It’s not uncommon to see a setting of 125% or higher to improve screen readability but PSE requires a dpi of 96 or 100%
Whilst the Editor Menu will appear at 120% to 149% the Organizer Menu (and the advanced button in downloader) won’t. Sometimes the mouse or tool cursors are distorted.
Try a setting of 115% to 120% otherwise use 100%. A common display resolution, notably for notebooks/laptops, and netbooks is 1024 x 768 but PSE requires a screen height of 800 for full functionality. If your height resolution is out of the range 768 to 800 try experimenting with the slider/settings.

Mouse cursor problem with CS4 64 bit under Windows 8.1

When using tools such as the various lasso tools, I get three cursors in a horizontal line, the leftmost one being the active one. Then when I click in a panel, it turns into a hieroglyph resembling three small vehicles or boats in a line. I don't know if this is related to the reputed bug that plagues gamers using Win 8.1. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

I seem to have solved my problem and give the solution for the benefit of anyone else encountering it.
I had right clicked on the Desktop and selected Screen Resolution. I then clicked on 'Make text and other items larger or smaller' and moved the slider to the right to make the PS panels larger.
This seems to have caused the problem, and I overcame it by returning the slider to the central position and then reducing the screen resolution to bring the panels up to the desired size.

Having a problem with Firefox using Hotmail email. Inbox - as checking messages it freezes up or a 1 item window follows cursor and does not allow you to enter

I am having a problem accessing Hotmail email messages via Fireflox server. When I am in the Inbox, reviewing messages, it either freezes up or a "1 item" small icon window follows cursor and does not allow me to enter messages or do anything. Have to log off and start over. Suggestions>?

Can you detect any pattern to it, whether related to messages with attachments, or particular advertising on the page, etc.?
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Clear Firefox's Cache
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
(Usually the dialog will refer to live.com rather than hotmail.com, that's normal.)
Then try reloading the page and logging in again. Does that help?

Problem with JFrame and busy/wait Cursor

Hi -- I'm trying to set a JFrame's cursor to be the busy cursor,
for the duration of some operation (usually just a few seconds).
I can get it to work in some situations, but not others.
Timing does seem to be an issue.
There are thousands of posts on the BugParade, but
in general Sun indicates this is not a bug. I just need
a work-around.
I've written a test program below to demonstrate the problem.
I have the problem on Solaris, running with both J2SE 1.3 and 1.4.
I have not tested on Windows yet.
When you run the following code, three JFrames will be opened,
each with the same 5 buttons. The first "F1" listens to its own
buttons, and works fine. The other two (F2 and F3) listen
to each other's buttons.
The "BUSY" button simply sets the cursor on its listener
to the busy cursor. The "DONE" button sets it to the
default cursor. These work fine.
The "SLEEP" button sets the cursor, sleeps for 3 seconds,
and sets it back. This does not work.
The "INVOKE LATER" button does the same thing,
except is uses invokeLater to sleep and set the
cursor back. This also does not work.
The "DELAY" button sleeps for 3 seconds (giving you
time to move the mouse into the other (listerner's)
window, and then it behaves just like the "SLEEP"
button. This works.
Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks.

I've had the same problems with cursors and repaints in a swing application, and I was thinking of if I could use invokeLater, but I never got that far with it.
I still believe you would need a thread for the time consuming task, and that invokeLater is something you only need to use in a thread different from the event thread.

Problem with generating xml and nested cursor (ora-600)

I have a problem with generating xml (with dbms_xmlquery or xmlgen) and nested cursors.
When I execute the following command, I get a ORA-600 error:
select dbms_xmlquery.getxml('select mst_id
, mst_source
, cursor(select per.*
, cursor(select ftm_fdf_number
, ftm_value
from t_feature_master
where ftm_mstr_id = pers_master_id ) as features
from t_person per
where pers_master_id = mst_id ) as persons
from f_master
where mst_id = 3059435')
from dual;
<?xml version = '1.0'?>
<ERROR>oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [kokbnp2], [1731], [], [], [], [], [], []
</ERROR>
The problem is the second cursor (t_feature_master).
I want to generate this:
<master>
<..>
<persons>
<..>
<features>
<..>
</features>
</persons>
<persons>
<..>
<features>
<..>
</features>
</persons>
</master>
If i execute the select-statement in sql-plus, then I get the next result.
MST_ID MST_SOURCE PERSONS
3059435 GG CURSOR STATEMENT : 3
CURSOR STATEMENT : 3
PERS_MASTER_ID PERS_TITLE PERS_INITI PERS_FIRSTNAME PERS_MIDDL PERS_LASTNAME

I use Oracle 8.1.7.4 with Oracle XDK v9.2.0.5.0.
Is this a bug and do somebody know a workaround?

Very simple...Drop all type objects and nested tables and create them again. You will get no error. I'll explain the reason later.

[Solved] Problem with mouse cursor gnome3

Hi
I moved back to Archlinux after a brief stay in LMDE, and test the new GNOME3, I am unpleasantly surprised that after a while the mouse is moving himself toward the top of the screen. I searched the internet, and seems to be a problem with the gnome-shell for some time, but I am not able to find the solution.
Momentarily solved by restarting gnome with ALT + F2 + r + Enter, but after a while, same thing happens again.
Can be well with photography programs, but of course if you do not solve this issue, GNOME, I can not use
Can you give me a helping hand?
Thanks and regards
Rafa

I don't know about Gnome, but my laptop had that problem. I tracked it down the 3d accelerometer being used to simulate a joystick. Of course, I also had (previously) set up another joystick to operate as a mouse. In the end, the cursor "drifted" when the laptop was not level
YMMV

Problem with Latches and Parallelising PL/SQL Cursors

In 9i i have process that do the following:
PROCEDURE LoadClients IS
CURSOR cChanges IS
    SELECT ...
    WHERE MOD(PK,pnTotalJobs>) = pnThisJob To call this I do the following
nTOTALJOBS CONSTANT := 2;
BEGIN
FOR i IN 1..nTOTALJOBS LOOP
    DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(LoadClient(pnTotalJobs=>nTOTALJOBS, pnThisJob=>i-1));
END LOOP;
COMMIT;So by changing the value of the constant - nTOTALJOBS - I can control the number of instances of LoadClient that run. This means I only need one procedure which can be called multiple times, making maintenance simpler than having multiple procedures.
This process has been running successfully on several procedures of over a year. However recently I have been having trouble with latches in memory. I think these are related to using the variables in the cursor and part of the oracle treating the different queries as being identical. This results in locks in memory and none of the jobs running. In most cases I'm setting nTOTALJOBS to 2. I'm looking into the further with my DBAs.
My questions are:
1. Has anyone come across this sort of problem before?
2. If so is there something I can do in my code or DB parameters to alleviate or test this?
Notes.
1. The process uses row by row processing in PL/SQL This done to get row by row error handling. I'm not going to change this in the short-term
2. The SQL does a call over a database link, I don't know if this has any effect.
3. This method does have a proven performance benefit
4. The code snippets above are just illustrative, I'm not asking for syntax corrections.
Thank you for taking the time to read through this.

I would first investigate the "problem with latches" to be sure that it has anything to do with these jobs that you are submitting.
Your concern seems to be "because I am submitting multiple copies of the same PLSQL procedure to run concurrently, am I running into latching issues ?".
Take a step back and look at
a. MultiUser OLTP environments : At any time you can have more than a few users running the same SQL queries submitted through Forms / Client Frontends.
b. ERP Report Extractions (eg in Oracle EBusiness Suite or Peoplesoft) : At any time (say during the daily batch runs ?) you can have multiple copies of the same report (with different bind variables for different business_units / countries etc) running concurrently and extracting reports.
The question would be : How many concurrent executions of the same code is too much ?
I would say that latching issues come up on :
a. Shared Pool : Multiple sessions attempting to load SQL statements and Parse SQL statements
You could reduce some of this with reusable SQLs and bind variables instead of literals in quick running jobs / user front end screens etc
b. Buffer Cache : Hot Blocks being frequently pinned -- eg index root blocks or "busy" table blocks.
If you are running, say 4-8 concurrent copies of the the same code on a 4 CPU or 8 CPU machine, you may not be running into latching issues on the code -- "may not be" -- we can't be too sure, until we identify which latches are under "issue".
However, if the queries are executing nested loops and frequently accessing the same index blocks, you may more likely be having issues with latches on cache buffer chains.
So, this is what I would suggest :
a. Identify the size and scale of the "issues" -- how much CPU time / wait time is accounted for by the latches in relation to the total response time of each of the jobs
b. Identify which latches are the ones under contention
c. On the basis of which latches are the holding up performance, decide your next course of action.

Problem with XSU and DataSources with nested cursors?

We are having a problem with the xsu libraries (OracleXMLQuery) using nested cursor syntax. The class returns nicely nested xml document when a database connection is established in the traditional/legacy manner of "class.forName(); DriverManager.registerDriver();" .
However, when using a DataSouce object within a J2EE container, we get an xml document back that only represents the main level of the resultset with datatypes + memory addresses for the cursor fields (instead of the expected nested xml elements).
Any thoughts?
BTW, we are using the iPlanet Application Server with an Oracle 9i database.
for instance:
SELECT a, b, CURSOR(select m, n, o
from table2
where table1.x = table2.y),
d, e, f
FROM table1
WHERE table1.name = 'Matt'

Somebody please answer this question?

Problem with ARD3 keeps losing the cursor

I am having problems with ARD3 whereby I keep losing the cursor when controlling another machine. The cursor is still there but you have to click-drag to see it moving. There was a similar problem a few months ago after a system update and pre ARD 3.1. I used to be able to upload the ARD client and that would solve the problem temporarily. But now that won't even work.
Another thing I notice when that happens is that my "Hidden Dock" stops appearing unless I click in the area. That also happens with my menus. And Expose stops working too.
The only way to get around the problem, is to either restart the computer or leave it for anything up to 1 hr, then it will be fine again.
Does anyone have the same problem?
I use a MacBook Pro DC 2G with 2G of RAM. 10.4.9 and all the latest System Updates including Security Update 2007-04. This started happening even before the 2007-004 security update.
MacBook Pro DualCore 2G Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I find that this happens only if a tool tip comes up after having it over an item in the toolbar however clicking in the remote computer's windows somewhere will bring the cursor back. Additionally switching windows, to say the main ARD window, and then back again will restore it as well.

I had a problem with my mouse double(multiple) clicking when I didn't want it to, now pressing enter in a window like this will close the current window and open one of my Taboo sites, and the cursor keys don't work.

This happens in any text entry window, but there is no problem with Wordpad or Word or other apps, just in Firefox. It's like the keyboard mapping has gotten fouled up in Firefox, but I can't find where I might check what is going on.

You may have '''Switched ON Caret Browsing'''. press '''F7 (on Mac: fn + F7)''' to toggle '''Caret Browsing ON/OFF'''
* click '''Firefox''' button and click '''Options''' -> Advanced -> General -> remove
Checkmark from '''Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages'''
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Scrolling_with_arrow_keys_no_longer_works
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility_features_of_Firefox
Check and tell if its working.

Since installing Mac Mavericks all my friends with Macs and I have problems with the cursor disappearing, only in Firefox, Safari is fine...

I have stopped using Firefox as nothing I have done has fixed this problem. I have tried shutting down Firefox and rebooting it, I cleared all my add-ons and then added adblock back (that's the only one) but it still doesn't work. I've deleted large files so that I have more space - I can't think of anything else that will work. I have spoken to four of my friends with Macs and they are all having the same problem with Firefox since Mavericks.

Hi thanks very much for your reply. I did a few things like delete my add-ons and I don't have the problem of the disappearing cursor (sounds like a Sherlock Holmes story) any more but it seems to have been a mac issue as there were many complaints on the Apple forums of the cursor disappearing since the Mavericks OS and not just in Firefox but in multiple programs. Looks like they've fixed it somehow!
