Display problem when scrolling in Finder OS X Lion.

Hi,
Last week i bought a new iMac, i7, AMD Radeon 6970M.
Sometimes, when scrolling in the Finder, the text is displayed weird.
See screendump. Is anyone known with this issue?

I've had the exact same problem with Lion. Telephone support told me to reinstall OS X Lion, which didn't help. The genius at the Genius bar told me it was my 3rd party (Kingston) RAM. He demonstated the display was fine without the extra RAM, but he was using a USB mouse with a scrollwheel. At home, my bluetooh magic mouse continued to cause the same problem, and so did my trackpad. So I determined it had to do with the faster (and different type of) scrolling that these newer devices perform. I then saw that if I use the slider on the right side of the finder window instead of gesturing with the mouse or trackpad it works fine.
So I played with my settings a bit to see if I could overcome this problem, and found a solution. I went to "Preferences-General-Show scroll bars" and changed from "Automatically based on input device" to "Always". This nearly fixes the problem! At least so far. I get an occasional glitch if I scroll up and down a lot, but way less frequently than when its set to the default "Automatically based on input device". This must be due to the new disappearing scrollbar "feature" in Lion. Nicely done, Apple!

Problems when scrolling

Good afternoon, I am facing a problem when scrolling a page when in the continuous view, sometimes the page jumps to the previous lines... How can I fix this?

I've only got one paint method and that is the main one in the base class. I've actually always disliked it. It basically contains all the location setting of all the components on the applet. I always thought these should be put in init, but whenever I do that, it fails to set their location.
Still, this is what my paint method looks like (well, a bit of it, its long)
public void paint(Graphics g)
         //Empire Choice
         empire.setLocation(215,21);
         //End Empire Choice
         //Implants Choice
         implants.setLocation(10,layoutArray1[29]);
         //End Implants Choice
         //Mode Choice
         mode.setLocation(177,51);
         //End Mode Choice
         //Templates Choice
         templates.setLocation(235, 81);
         //End Templates Choice
         //Implants Chosen List
         implantsChosen.setLocation(10,layoutArray1[32]);
         implantsChosen.setSize(110,60);
         //End Implants Chosen List
         //Implants Description Label
         implantsDesc.setLocation(10,layoutArray1[30]);
         implantsDesc.setSize(275,15);
         //End Implants Description Label
            etc
            etc
            etcI really think its wrong, but i've not been able to work out how to make it 'propper' (I mean, it works and everything, but it seems wrong to me). Like I said, we haven't been taught much on applets at all, so i've had to teach myself all of this :-/
Thanks.

Display ripples when scrolling ANY types of pages

This is driving me nuts. And giving me headaches. And making my head spin.
My MBPro 2.4Ghz with infamous Nvidia 8600M GT 256MB graphics card is the culprit. A real letdown compared to all the Macs in general, and the portables in particular, that I've used over the last 20 years.
As others have reported here, there is a MAJOR issue with "rippling" lines of text when scrolling web pages. But I am getting the same thing when scrolling ALL types of pages: web, text, spreadsheets, etc.
It happens both on the MBPro screen and on an external monitor.
It happens when scrolling with the trackpad or with a USB mouse.
It happens at all times.
And, if this is possible, it seems to be getting worse. It's almost at the point where I have to TAKE MY EYES OFF THE SCREEN if I have to do any scrolling. If not, by the end of the work day, my head is spinning, my eyes are dead tired, I'm going cross-eyed and, more times than not, I've got a headache from all the "visual effects".
I took my MBPro to an Authorized Apple Technician, to see if it had the defective Nvidia graphics card. I'd done a reformat and fresh install of 10.5.7 the night before.
The Nvidia test software, on an external HD, showed that I don't have a defective card.
Not a bid deal in the end, as they would have just installed the SAME type of graphics card and logic board.
I convinced the Apple Tech to use my MBPro for a few minutes, just to show him what I meant. He said he was surprised to see the ripples, that he'd never really focused on that in the past. But they were definitely there, and he wasn't able to say that it was "normal", as he really wanted to do.
He said he thought it might be a problem with the NVIDIA DRIVERS.
He then went onto his 24" iMac with Nvidia graphics card and, lo and behold, he had THE SAME RIPPLING while scrolling longer web and text pages.
This made him more convinced that it must be "imperfect" Nvidia drivers in Mac OS 10.5. And he said the only thing to do was hope that Apple and Nvidia get these drivers perfected and thoroughly tested in the near future, either by specific update or IN SNOW LEOPARD.
What's frustrating is that I have NEVER had this problem with either our iMac 20" Core Duo, which has an ATI graphics card, or our Macbook Core 2 Duo with GMA 950 Intel chipset. That is, with much older, less powerful Intel Macs, but ones that DON'T HAVE NVIDIA graphics cards.

I call it more of a flicker, but I also experience this issue with a MBP (led backlight). It is not browser dependant, but as Safari scrolls smoothly, it is much more apparent with this than other browsers.
Here is a perfect example, watch the sidebars on this page while scrolling :
http://www.theautochannel.com
It's also particularly bad with this site (apple discussion board), and others with high contrast text, the text flickers/ripples very badly This never happened with my Powerbook display. Is this an issue or simply inherent with these displays. Personally, it is giving me headaches when scrolling through large amounts of text (which I often do for work), and rendering this laptop virtually unusable for me.
I'm surprised to find very few others complaining about this phenomenon, perhaps I'm not describing the issue well with my search terms. Has anyone heard of a solution?
Thanks

Tree component display problem when text too long???

hi all
whenever i use a tree component to display some sort of text, i run into problems when the width of the text being display for a node is larger than the width of the tree component.
Given: Tree tree1 with Node node1 and Child Node child1
When the text of either node1 or child1 is longer than the width of tree1, the text is displayed on its own single line UNDERNEATH the node images. this makes the text look like it does not belong to the group of children of a given node.
is there anyway to add maybe a text area or some sort of scrolling region to allow for any length of text for any node??
thanks everyone!

Yes, you can change the size of the tree node text field. Please see the "Tree Node Component Properties Window" section in the Help Contents within the IDE. Look at the info under the "Appearance" section.

Display problem when reading Traditional Chinese in Crystal Report 2008

Hi All,
I have tried to connect MS SQL 6.5 to build up a report. However, I encounter a problem when read Traditional Chinese. all chinese characters turn into adnormal characters. I wonder it is problem of SQL Server or some setting that I may not know. In addition, I can able to read chinese in the application program , ISQL / Query Analyzer. Please help to give idea and suggestion to fix this. Thanks
SQL Server: MS SQL Server 6.5
Client OS: Window XP ( Traditional Chinese Version)
Server OS: Window NT and Window Server 2000
Stsyou

Hi
If you are using a Chinese language build database, Crystal Reports English build might not display the characters properly as non english databases include one byte characters as ASCII code character and double-byte characters as their own language code character.
Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese (Kanji, Hiranga, and Katakana), Korean and Vietnamese use double-byte characters.
However, a possible workaround to this issue is to verify that the encoding on the database client is configured according to the examples below. Also, you will need to install the language pack in the English environment.
CONFIGURATION EXAMPLES:
Shift-JIS for a Japanese database
Big5 for a Traditional Chinese database
GB2312 for a Simplified Chinese database
iso-2022-kr for a Korean database
Windows 1258 for a Vietnamese database
EXAMPLE SCENARIO:
An Oracle database saves non-English language data such as Japanese.
The Windows operating system is English.
STEP TO CONFIGURE THE CHARACTER CODE IN THE ENVIRONMENT SETTING
(This step is based on the details of the EXAMPLE SCENARIO.)
1. Configure the system environment on the database client side to 'Shift-JIS' as the character code set in the Environment Setting.
This results in the NLS_LANG variable set to Japanese_Japan.JA16SJIS under the registry HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Oracle\Homeo.
STEPS TO INSTALL LANGUAGE PACK IN AN ENGLISH ENVIRONMENT
(These steps are based on the details of the EXAMPLE SCENARIO.)
1. Add languages to the computer system by clicking:
Control Panel > Regional Options > General
2. Select the check box for 'Traditional Chinese', 'Simplified Chinese', 'Japanese', 'Korean' or 'Vietnamese'.
3. Click 'Apply'.
4. When you are prompted, insert the Windows CD-ROM to install the language pack.
5. Restart the computer.
Upon completing these steps, you are able to display the languages characters in the Crystal Reports Designer in a Windows English environment.
==========
NOTE:
If the database table and field names use non-English language characters, Data Explorer in CR will not correctly display these names. However, when you preview the report, the non-English data displays correctly.
==========
Configuring the database client according to the examples and installing the language pack will display the characters successfully. However, there are cases when this workaround does not resolve the issue.
For further information about CR and double-byte languages, refer to knowledge base articles, c2008083 and c2008349.
Hope this helps!!!

Display problems when adding a document

Hi,
one of our customers is facing a strange problem. He runs SBO 8.8 PL18 on Windows Server 2008 R2, and the users work in SBO through Terminal Server. I will do my best to explain what happens.
When one adds a manual journal entry, the screen flickers the same number of times there are rows. Let me explain the flickering. Suppose you have 10 rows. When you click Update, the table that displays the rows is kind of refresh or repainted 10 times, then fields are empty ready for a new journal entry. The best way I can describe what one can see is that the table is rolled down as many times as there are rows. Unfortunately I have not been able to record the flickering.
This take some times, and users fell eyes fatigue because of the flickering. I have seen it on my own computer, so this problem does not relate to the computer used to work with SBO. I am told that it happens as well in A/P Invoices.
The only hint I have is that display problem does not takes place with a TS established on Server 2003.
Any hint at what this can be, has someone else seen this ?
Thanks

Hello,
If you are using Add-on then it will happed because programmer set keyword last focus in which cell and i think your programmer have code for some arthritic operation on grid then it will happen.
So discuss your programmer it will solve issue or give proper explanation for same.
It will defiantly through add-on .

Display problems when antialiasing is enabled

I've written a Java app which uses a JPanel-derived class to render images and text in the paint() method.
This works fine unless I've enabled antialiasing in my video card settings (GeForce FX 5200 w/128MB RAM, Windows XP), in which case nothing but a gray window appears. Disabling antialiasing in the video card settings fixes the problem. Multiple users with different video cards have reported the same problem (so its not something specific to my card and/or drivers).
Is there something in my code I can do to ensure my app will properly render regardless of whether or not antialiasing is turned on on the user's machine?
Note that I also tested with a simple frame containing a progress bar and saw the same issue, i.e. the Swing components themselves didn't properly render with antialiasing turned on.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Thanks, that seems to be doing a bit better. I am still having a bit of trouble though, mainly, the TV seems to be flickering very slightly throughout. Strangely, I did not have this problem when using a composite connection. Is there a setting somewhere to make for a clearer picture? For example, when I run the external display calibration application, and it asks me to adjust the background so it is the same color as the apple logo in the picture, the apple logo is constantly flickering (changing color from white to gray to black or so very rapidly).
Also, I am mainly using the TV connection to watch front row. How can I get front row to operate on the external display if I do not have them set to mirror each other?
Thanks a lot,
Will

After ver 26 was installed my screen display distorts when scrolling - I tried resetting - no luck - any suggestions?

when I use either the scroll down bar on the right side or arrows up/down the display on the screen distorts at an angle as it moves up or down. does not reset with time

I think I saw a screen shot of this in a different thread, but I can't find it at the moment.
When there are strange display artifacts, I suspect a graphics driver incompatibility.
As a workaround, you could disable hardware acceleration of graphics in Firefox and in Flash (if relevant):
(A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
(B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
Any improvement?

Hi,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
I’m sorry to hear that your new G580 Laptops touchpad scroll feature is not working as expected, I suggest you to re-install the Touchpad driver in the computer and check the issue. While installing the driver right click on the downloaded file and select “Run as administrator” option to get it installed without any error.
Do post us back if the issue persists.

Display problems when connecting Samsung external display to Macbook Alu

Here is the deal:
1. I got a new Macbook Aluminum (yesss!)
2. I got a sweet 23" Samsung LCD display (2048 x 1152)
3. I got a DVI to Mini Display Port adapter
4. I hooked the two up
5. At first couldn't get a resolution higher than 640 x 480
6. Figured it out
7. After the Macbook went to sleep I tried to wake it up using my BT keyboard
8. Screen came up with static/noise and then flashed the desktop off and on
9. Unplugged display, opened Macbook to wake it up
10. Macbook won't wake up. Caps lock key lights up, but that is it.
11. Force shutdown and reboot
12. External display works again, until later when Macbook falls asleep
13. Here we go again
Yes I have downloaded the latest update. I have reset the PRAM, etc. with the help of an Apple support agent. So far, the problem remains.
Does anyone have any ideas? Any solutions other than me having to drive me lazy butt over the hill and taking 3 hours out of my day to have a Apple Genius look at my Macbook?

Don't bother bringing it to an Apple store and wasting your time. I'm pretty sure your problem is a known issue with the software and not hardware. I suggest you get a hold of Apple over the phone, make sure you talk to a "product expert" and not a general rep and I'm sure he'll clarify it with you.

Display problems when connecting MBP to LG 30FS4D HDTV

Apologies if a similar post has been asked before. Most questions related to this are with LCD TVs.
Problem description :
1. I connected my MBP to my LG 30FS4D HDTV ( this is not an LCD ). Both handshake and I can see the output on my TV. MBP display the tv control panel. But the output is just like s-video...probably not as good as that either !
How I connected it to the TV :
2. miniDVI to DVI adapter ( $19 )
3. HDMI ( $10 )
What I have tried so far :
4. I changed the resolutions on the MBP tv display from 720p to 1080i, also other resolutions....but none of them is good quality !
Questions :
5. What kind of output should I expect on my tv - I was expecting at least a DVD quality output...but it's no where close to that ?
6. Do I need to get expensive HDMI cable for this ?
7. Is my TV the culprit ?
8. Should I try this on someone's LCD TV ?

For anyone who's facing a similar issue :
Some of these slim TVs switch off other audio input when you connect the HDMI cable ( HDMI is after all, audio and video ). But there is another audio input - the digital optical audio input. In order to get the sound, get a toslink cable ( with optical audio male at one end and a simple headphone male at the other end ) and connect it from your MBP to the TV optical audio input.

Display problem when connecting laptop to TV via HDMI

I have a Satellite L500-19X and when I connect the laptop to my Sony Bravia TV, the display is constantly choppy.
I've tried changing the refresh rate but that hasn't helped. The HDMI cable shouldn't be the problem because it works fine with my Xbox. The problem is there during both duplicate display and extend display options.
Anyone else experiencing the same problem and have found a fix?
Thanks

> The problem is there during both duplicate display and extend display options.
And when you see desktop on TV only?

Display distoring when scrolling + flickering in video.

At random times my display starts distorting (seems that there isn't a full screen refresh taking place when it should) when I scroll in Safari, Firefox, Cyberduck etc. Video also distorts at these times.
See a picture here: http://www.rutgermuller.nl/temp/macbook_display.jpg
Apple support told me this is a software issue that will be fixed, BUT WHEN!? I've been waiting for about 2 months now. It's very annoying to have to restart the MacBook at random times.

Have upgrade now, thanks. I'll keep you posted.
