Dialog boxes appear off screen

Hi!
I'm using Illustrator CC on a MacBook Pro. I use an external monitor as a second screen and usually move the application frame to the external monitor and work there. I started having the follwing problem: when I try to save or open a file, the dialogue box appears slightly off screen, so that I can't for instance type in a new file name, because I can't get to that part of the dialogue box.
I have tried switching between different screen modes, but it doesn't help. Also I can't manually move the dialog box - which also seems strange.
My external monitor is a NEC MultiSync EA273WM.
Any idea what could be the problem or how to solve it? It's slowly driving me mad...
Thanks in advance!

At the moment it looks like the problem is called 10.10.2
You can read through the posts of last week on this forum, but I'm afraid you won't find a solution.

  • Import dialog box displaying off screen

    When I'm in the office, I work in a dual-monitor environment.
    However, when working at home, I have only my laptop monitor.
    If I need to import something - html file, template file,
    etc. - the dialog box is displaying off screen.
    I've shut down and restarted, but still the same result. When
    I try to resize the RH window, it resizes off screen.
    My display properties indicate only one monitor.
    How to fix?
    Thanks!

    Hi Cindy
    Sounds like you need some multiple monitor managing software.
    Try these:
    MultiMon (Free)
    click here
    UltraMon (Paid)
    click here
    Other than that, you can try flying blind and navigating
    using the keyboard or maybe bump your resolution to the highest
    possible setting and perhaps that will bring the dialog either
    partially or totally into view.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Export Save / Open dialog box appears behind disco screen

    Hi all
    Disco 10g Plus, excel, latest Sun java 6.16 jvm
    We have an annoying but strange issue with exporting.
    A user opens and runs a report ok.
    Withing Disco 10 plus they then click on either file-Export-excel or click on the Export Excel icon on disco plus toolbar
    Either way the export happens and a dialog box appears with blue progress bar and then this disappears.
    And then nothing appears to happen.
    However, something actually has happened, behind the disco 10 window the 'File Download' dialog box with 'Do you wish to open or save this file?' appears. Clicking on save saves it to PC and clicking open opens it in Excel which is fine.
    I am not sure of this box belongs to excel or internet explorer but does anyone know of any way to have this dialog box appear IN FRONT of the current disco plus window as some of our users think that disco has 'frozen' and thus log support calls.
    thanks in advance,
    dw

    Hi dw
    I have heard of folks complaining that exports to Excel hang. I have not had any feedback to say that the dialog box is actually open behind the scenes. This is very interesting news and thanks for reporting it. I will certainly look for this in the future and see if I can find a pattern.
    If I may ask, what exact version of Discoverer are you on and what cumulative patch level have you implemented?
    Also, what browser are you using and have you tried this in another one?
    Have you tried deinstalling Java 6.16 and tested with an older one like 6.11 which I have seen working very well?
    As much extra information as you can provide will definitely help and could trigger an idea from someone reading.
    Best wishes

  • When I mouseover links, a gray dialog box appears but it is always blank. I have checked on other browsers and the same link brings up dialog.

    When I mouseover links, a gray dialog box appears but it is always blank. I have checked on other browsers and the same link brings up dialog.
    I am running Firefox RC.

    figured it out:
    - power off mac and turn back on while holding down Command + R (dont do it on an external keyboard just to be safe)
    - choose the re-install Lion option (I'm sure there is another way to re-install Lion, this is just the way I did it, not saying its the best or only method)
    - DO NOT INSTALL MACBOOK (Mid 2012) Software Update 1.0 - THIS SCREWS ADOBE UP!

  • Type Kit- Why does a dialog box appear when opening a file?

    Type Kit- Why does a dialog box appear every time I open a file- asking to substitute fonts that I've had working for years. Also, what is that pink box around the type- they are not missing fonts.

    Which version?- Latest Creative Cloud Type Kit
    Which system?- Mac OS 10.10.1, iMac 7i
    Where does the file come from? File is an Adobe Illustrator CC
    Which fonts?- Any and all fonts that was used in the .ai file which I have been using for years.
    Do you use font management? Which one? Mac Font Book
    Are you really sure that your fonts are properly installed? Yes and verified.    
    Did it ever work? Yes, Ever since I opened Font Kit on Creative Cloud I get a window stating that the fonts in an existing file are missing and do I want to substitute.
    Did you just upgrade?- Apps always upgraded.
    Did you change systems?- Ever since I opened Font Kit on Creative Cloud
    The PINK box around the type, I believe, indicates a missing font- but they are not missing and I'm sure as hell not going to let Type Kit control MY FONTS.  How do I turn it off as the pink box is intruding with the design composition???
    SEE Sumit Singh’s reply- worked for the pink highlight. I have to see about the dialog box thing- I will let you know.

  • I am using an iphone 3g and when i connect my device to my laptop a dialog box appears saying that an update of 4.2 is available so went for it.after the firmware is downloaded via itunes it shows that the firmware is invalid!.please help.

    HEY GUYS I AM USING AN IPHONE  3g and when i connect my device to my laptop a dialog box appears saying that an update of 4.2 is available so went for it.after the firmware is downloaded via itunes it shows that the firmware is invalid!.please help.
    AND ALSO I HAVE HEARD THAT THE IPHONE 3G CANNOT BE UPDATED TO IOS 4.2!IS IT TRUE???
    PLEASE HELP ME.

    This means that the phone you have was software unlocked to use on any carrier, or hacked. When you installed the update it restored the lock that originaly came with your phone. Not much you can do now. Apple will not support hacked phones. You will need to find out the carrier your phone is locked to and see if they offer official unlocking, or start googling to see if you can find a way to unlock 4.2.

    1. Restart your computer to stop any Adobe process that is running.
    2. Click on the following Adobe  link. Go to the bottom where it says "Still having problems?". Click on the version of Flash Player for your browser.

  • I want to download and install adobe flash player. When I do so one occur. A dialog box appears but it has no run option but a save file or cancel option.

    # Question
    I want to download and install adobe flash player. When I do so one of 2 things occur. A dialog box appears but it has no run option but a save file or cancel option. The other is if the proper dialog box appears, I agree and the a different box appears and there is foxfire with a red circle with a diagonal line across is appears.

    I find the easiest way to install Adobe Flash is to use the manual installers. You just need to download the installer to your computer, then run it to install Flash. For more details see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller
    That link states you should uninstall earlier versions, as you don't have the version of Flash used by Firefox you can skip that step.

  • How to I center a dialog box in the screen?

    Simple question, and I hope a simple answer.
    I need to center various sized dialog boxes in the screen.
    I've tried getcenterpoint(), but I don't know EXACTLY how to use it.

    look at the ToolKit class. there's a method which returns the size of the screen. with the size, you can calculate and use the setLocation() method to center your dialog box.
    you can also use the setLocationRelativeTo() method of the Window class. (JDialog inherits the method from Window)

  • Security Dialog Box appears in Javascripts

    hi all.
    I ve some problem with my javascript which is used to present menus at the homepage. I have a dropdown menu also, wherein, whenever I rollover t mouse on dropdown menus, a security dialog box appears(this page works on https), and it doesnot appear until u refresh the page again.
    I have 2 menu scripts. In menu1.js, I call a fn which is in menu_main.js
    The call in menu1.js, goes like this
    startSubmenu("menu_pre_b7","menu_pre_menu",83);submenuItem("Help",loc+"pre_help.htm","_self","menu_pre_plain");submenuItem("Search",loc+"GetPage1Action.do?command=getPage1","_self","menu_pre_plain");submenuItem("DJVU Plugin",loc+"pre_lizardtech_djvu.htm","_self","menu_pre_plain");endSubmenu("menu_pre_b7"); and the menu_main.js has the function for startSubMenu as
    function startSubmenu(name,style,sw){var depth=name.split("_").length+1000;if(NS4)return;if(sw>0)menuw=sw;d.write("<div id=\""+name+"\" style=\"z-index:999;border-color:#000000;border-style:solid;border-width:"+bd+"px 0px "+bd+"px 0px;background-color:#ffffff;position:absolute;left:0px;top:0px;visibility:hidden;z-index:"+depth+";width:"+(menuw+(NS7?bd*2:0))+"px\">");}I hope the problem is with the startSubMenu function. Can someone help me on this?

    Unfortunately this forum is for the Java programming language, not for the ECMAScript compliant Javascript.

  • Update available dialog box appears behind app window

    We have an app that checks for an update each time it launches. This has worked quite well until our latest rev, which included an upgrade to Flash Builder 4.0, the 4.0 sdk, and the AIR 2.0 overlay.
    Now the update dialog box appears behind our application window, which means our users are not going to see it.
    Has anyone else seen this problem?
    Our code looks something like this:
            private function initUpdate():void
                appUpdater = new ApplicationUpdaterUI();
                appUpdater.configurationFile = new File("app:/update-config.xml");
                appUpdater.initialize();
                appUpdater.addEventListener(UpdateEvent.INITIALIZED, autoUpdate);
            private function autoUpdate(ev:UpdateEvent):void
                appUpdater.isCheckForUpdateVisible = false;
                appUpdater.checkNow();
                appUpdater.removeEventListener(UpdateEvent.INITIALIZED, autoUpdate);
    Do I need to try to control the order of the windows? Never had to do that before? Or perhaps "delay" the initialization of the appUpdater() by calling it later in the startup process.
    Any other thoughts are appreciated.
    Kevin S.

    Yes, thanks. That's what I did to solve the problem. I inserted a timer and delayed the call to check for updates for .25 of a second, and now the Update Available dialog is appearing on top of the application window.

  • Using Message Built-In - Message dialog box appears twice

    Hi all,
    I'm using the message built-in to display messages in forms.
    I use the message command twice to make it appear as a dialog box.(Using it once displays it in status bar)
    Eg.
    Message('Hello World');
    Message('Hello World');
    Sometimes, the dialog box appears twice instead of once.
    Is there a way to solve this ?
    Regards,
    Sam

    With an alert, you can write up to 200 characters in the alert box. With a message, you can write up to 255 characters, and if you want the message to pop up in an alert box, you can write a double message. I use:
    Message('Hello World');
    Message(' ',no_acknowledge);
