Cursor shift

I have opened a previous text file from Pages and when using it, the cursor shifts from the normal 'I' bar to a double 'I' bar with little arrows on each side [like the symbol for opening the door in an elevator]. It seems to shift back and forth for no reason between the two images and gets in the way of doing an accurate insertion. Does anyone know what is going on? Is this a bug?

If you have alignment guides in your document, you'll see the horizontal or vertical "move" cursor whenever the mouse position is over a guide (e.g., look at any of the business card templates, which have preset alignment guides).
Another case is if you have the cursor over the margin in the ruler (very light grey area in the corner). In that case, if you click and drag, you will directly manipulate the margin.
Occasionally, I'll see the cursor get "stuck" when moving it across this area and back out of the ruler, but it changes back to the text cursor when moved back over text. Since this area lies between the main text area and the menu bar, it's easy to understand why people might be seeing the cursor somewhat randomly.

  • Cursor Shift while trying edit in Editable Regions

    I do not have this problem on all of my sites, but I started
    experiencing it more and more often. I am inserting content into
    editable regions on my web site simply using copy and pasting, but
    I see that the when I click at the begining of a sentence or after
    or before a character or a word, in the code view it is shifted a
    character to the left ot the right.
    Lets say I put my cursor between G and H in the word LIGHTS
    and hit backspace to delete a character it deletes H insted of G.
    It shifts to the right on character each time and I cannot figure
    out why it is doing that. There are no hidden characters or
    anything like that.
    Your help is appreciated.
    Regards.

    Is this on a Mac? Is it in a container with an overflow
    style?

  • 1) XY Graph cursor shift outside range and 2) cursor strange jumping on index value

    Hello,
    I have XYGraph and when using cursor along the edges and trying to go “higher” (or lower, more left...) the graph moves (scales are moving). Is possible to ban this behavior to force the cursor to stay in original range?
    And one more question
    When filling values into cursor legend it sometimes jumps less (talking about X coordinates). Just try example: cursor is set on 89 and fill “11” it jumps on 10 (but value 11 really exists). Strange
    Does anybody know solution?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    I could see the behavior you described, but cannot think of another way of resolving this other than to programmatically write the scale if it is detected to be beyond the data range.  This of course is not ideal, but should work, nonetheless.  What you described will make for a great product suggestion.  To reach the product suggestion center go to the following link: http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/nicc.call_me 
    As for your other concern, the issue is known one, and will be fixed in a future release of LabVIEW.  In the mean time, If you'll zoom in at run-time, or try to retrieve the values at edit time, you'll be able to access these without a problem.
    I hope this helps,

  • Black cursor versus white cursor and grabbing text

    Does anyone know why the cursor arrow shifts from black to white over some text boxes in an iWeb document?
    This matters to us because when the cursor is black, then we are able to select the text, such as for copying.
    When the cursor shifts to white, which it's doing over a couple of text boxes, we're unable to select the text.
    We want to make sure all text boxes are selectable, since we're creating a media release where the readers need to be able to conveniently grab our text.
    We've checked the inspectors and can't find any difference between the two text boxes. I've checked the discussion search, iWeb help, and any PDF manuals I can find, but no mention of what is causing the text boxes to be different.
    Any explanations or suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Diana

    Can you take screenshots of the two different cursors and post them here?  I've only been able to get one cursor associated with text boxes and that's the black one with the white border.  I do get the white hand over widgets.

  • A última atualização tornou tudo lento (introduçã/selecção o de texto/links com o rato, abertura/fecho de abas, etc. Este problema já foi reportado?

    Desde a última atualização (33.0.2) o firefox ficou demasiado lento, quer na introdução de texto, quer na selecção de textos ou links (com o rato ou teclas de cursor + shift), ou até abertura de imagens até o funcionamento das abas se tornou lento. Já procedi em conformidade com os tópicos de ajuda sem qualquer sucesso. Apenas quando reiniciei com os extras desactivados resolveu o problema da lentidão. No entanto, após desinstalar todos os extras, o problema perssistiu. ainda me questionei acerca do plugin "openH264 video codec..." que não conhecia mas por pesquisa me pareceu seguro até porque aparentemente faz parte integrante da última atualização.
    Experimentei a desinstalar, com o cache totalemente apagado, e instalar uma versão anterior e aí o problema desapareceu, mas quando se deu a atualização automática, tudo voltou ao mesmo... tudo tão lento, que para escrever estas linhas, foi uma aventura.
    Questiono então se esta lentidão já foi reportada por outros usuários, ou mesmo pela equipa de desenvolvimento do firefox e se haverá algum novo procedimento que resolva o problema.
    Agradeço o tempo prestado, bem como a passível brevidade na resposta.

    Tirando a tela preta da versão anterior, não tivemos problema com a versão atual em relação a lentidão, mas experimenta desativar a aceleração por hardware.Olá,
    Pode ser necessário reiniciar o Firefox para que a alteração entre em vigor, então salve todos os trabalho que estiver fazendo primeiro.
    Em seguida, execute essas etapas:
    #Abra a janela opções do Firefox como segue:
    #*Clique no botão de menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] e selecione {button Opções}.
    # Na janela de opções, clique na aba '''Avançado''' e em seguida clique na aba '''Geral'''
    # Nas opções exibidas, desmarque a opção ''Quando disponível, utilizar a aceleração por hardware''.
    # Agora, reinicie o Firefox e veja se o problema persistir.
    Além disso, verifique se há atualizações para o driver da placa de video, seguindo os passos mencionados nos seguintes artigos da base de conhecimento:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]

  • RDS Focus issue with Windows 8.1

    This is quite infuriating. I never post on here, so for me to be doing so, trust me, is basically as a last resort. I work for a s/w company, and we have two options w the app- local installation, or cloud, utilizing RDS. Our work database is (obviously)
    on the cloud, so I can firsthand feel our customers pain. 
    Once the RDS session is opened, whether its minimized or not, no matter what you are doing or where you're navigating, after so much time elapses, it steals focus, and i end up half the time inadvertantly overwriting customer info because the cursor shifts
    over, you get the idea. 
    I researched this for a LONG time. I cannot for the life of me find a fix. I changed the registry key for the foregroundlocktimeout to 30d40 hex, and still no love. Does anyone have ANY other suggestions? Its really making life difficult, but the conundrum
    is I HAVE to have it open at all times. Thoughts?

    I have exactly the same issue
    It has been the same since i installed Win 8.1. just to summarise - very simple
    When any Remote Desktop Services (RDS) is active it will assume focus every 60-90 seconds. ie
     reboot computer,
    launch browser,
    go to RDS URL an login,
    open ANY application (word, excel, Explorere, IE... any of 30 on the server) - so lets say Excel
    launch a local app - ANY - say IE, or word or explorer
    and within 1 minute while typing in Word - the RDS excel will be in focus and you will be typing into it...
    I concur with the OTownMarine above - all the basic fixes have been done, removing  KB2919355
    & KB2959977 - caused the same issue as described
    THis is not any other service or application except RDS
     - TAKING focus
    I do not want to do any more basic testing - but am happy
    to do checks or try things that are SPECIFIC to this issue as it is extremely frustrating. However having said this - it would take some one less than 15 mins to test when they apply their mind

  • Dual displays in Yosemite

    I run a 27-inch iMac with an additional 27-inch Thunderbolt display. Until OS X Mavericks came along the advantage of having dual displays was limited. Mavericks changed this experience and my productivity increased significantly, for example, having the dock available on both screens reduces time spent hunting for the cursor shifting to the master screen and launching. However, the efficiencies of dual screens under Mavericks appears to have been wound-back by the arrival of Yosemite. Shifting applications around the two screen real estate is a lottery, launching new apps is slow as the dock does not always appear on both screens and the disappearing menu bar is just annoying. Can someone from Apple take this feedback on board and work on improving the productivity of the two screen (business) community. Thanks.

  • GRAB selection

    Is it possible to "grab" a section of a viewed page that is not on the screen?
    In other words when I bring up the grab cursor (shift/command/4) I am only able to grab data that is viewed. I cannot hold down the left click button and grab (scroll down to) a portion of the screen that is just below the portion viewed.
    How do I grab more than is viewed?
    Thank You
    Dan

    Dang.
    I just made the switch to Mac a couple weeks ago after two decades of working with Windows, and one thing that I do almost every day is print selected sections of online reports.
    Sadly, I am finding that this has nothing to do with Safari. The printing mechanism seems to belong to OS X, as I'm finding the same near-useless printing options in Firefox and Omniweb as well.
    This is a work machine, but I've been trying to avoid using A windows VM for anything at all, yet here I am having to fire up Fusion just to print things. :-|
    Hopefully this is something they will address before long. I think it's simply a matter of missing 96% of the user feedback that's out there.
    I still love most of the experience so far though.
    One thing I do see in the forums from time to time is the same humorous thing I've seen in Windows-related forums for years:
    Q. "How do I do this?"
    A. "Why would anyone want to do that?"
    It's the real life version of the old Joke:
    "Doctor, it hurts when I do this."
    "Then don't do that."

  • Problem with Hand move tool in CS2 ...

    Hi,
    I hope one of you here knows what to do about this as it's less conducive to my normal work-flow...
    I have a Photoshop CS2 which I used to use on Windows XP and here it worked as supposed to. When I hit the spacebar the "hand move tool" appeared and I could move the images I was working with by left clicking my mouse and then move the image.
    Now I've re-installed Photoshop on a new computer with Windows 7 (SP1) and now the "hand move tool" doesn't work anymore. The cursor shifts from the current cursor symbol to a hand but I can't move anything with it.
    Given that it's worked before on Win XP I guess it's a compatibility issue of some kind - one of you knows what can be done?
    Thanks for reading & maybe replying ;-)

    Can anyone verify that this is or is not a problem for them?

  • Arrow keys on ipad2

    Is there any way to get arrow keys on ipad2 soft keyboard. Finding it difficult to correct the URLs and other corrections in contacts etc., without arrow keys.

    The touch screen solution is just pain.is it so difficult for apple folks to understand that arrow keys are needed. I have already turned off auto correct cause for any non english dictionary word like a name or an abbr. it just replaces by default and then entering multiple key sequence to zoom out, touch, place and then edit is ver time consuming. You remove the finger and the cursor shifts one position and u are back to sq one. For all the usability studies apple seems to be doing, no one has complained about the lack of cursor keypad is not just strange but rather stupid.
    Here is my live example. While typing this message when i had to correct a word i tried the zoom in, edit, zoom out solution. The moment you zoom in, the msg does not fit on the screen, so one has to start moving the screen to read the message. Why should end user hv to press so many key sequences to avoid adding a cursor movement keypad.

  • Photoshop and Intuous 5 bug?

    Hi All,
    I noticed that if i draw a very short line (about 10 pixels or less) then cursor shifts back to starting point. This is very annoying when you draw small details alot.
    Tested on systems an drivers:
    Mac OS X 10.6.4 or 10.7.4
    Driver 6.3.0 or 6.3.3-3
    Photoshop CS 5 (12.0.4)
    Photoshop CS 5.5 (12.1)
    Mac OS X 10.8.2, Driver 6.3.3-3 and Photoshop 6 (13.0.1) - same problem.
    I have three Intuos 5 tablets for now and all have this bug so this is not a hardware problem i think.
    Corel Painter 12 - all good.
    Can anyone reproduce this bug?

    Document size - Int. paper A4.
    Brush/Pencil - doesn't matter.
    Zooming:
    here is my screenshot with various zooming

    Lines in the red circles is a good try without shift.

  • Open window background moves when mousing-over

    I'm sure this may have been answered before but my search found nothing.
    When using a programme such as Numbers, when I hover the cursor over a cell, the spreadsheet behind the cursor shifts, often hiding the cell column behind the grey edge as though I've scrolled the spreadsheet.
    I use a Magic Mouse and have ensured that I'm not sliding my finger over the glass.
    Is this a common siuation?
    Please, please, is there a fix? It's driving me mad!...

    While navigating this site the same thing happens.
    I move the cursor over a hyperlink and the hyperlink moves away. (The whole pane moves).
    The white portion of this site moves from side to side, usually but not always, returning to it's previous position.

  • May i resize table, which right edge standing out of page/frame border

    After pasting big table, its right edge is commonly outside of story frame. To resize the table we use cursor+shift key and slide right border to adjust a frame edge. Can we do it by script?
    b Thanks.

    Place the cursor somewhere in the table to be resized and run the following script. It checks only if the cursor is in a table, nothing else -- it's very basic.
