Eyedropper issue with text color (CS6 / Win7)

Hello there,
I'm dealing with many bugs with my CS6 (same as my colleagues), but all of them are already here, so no need to create new topics. But this one is kind of new to me and I didn't find it here.
Problem is picking-up a color for text from various objects (even other text) holding shift. In previous version holding shift with eyedropper took your desired color without any other attributes and put it in stroke / fill depending on what you've active. But now it doesn't work. It just show me the selected color in color selection, but it won't apply to my text.To avoid picking new attributes from other text, I've to save desired color, select my text I want to have in this color and apply .. And this is not the way I want to work with my illustrator
Maybe I forgot to set something in options, but I don't know where. Would be glad for any help

It's been discussed already here and appears to be a bug.

  • I'm having issues with text layers in photoshop. Text layers show it's there but not visible on the canvas.

    I'm having issues with text layers in photoshop. They aren't visible. I've checked font size, alignment, layer order and color. And the layer list shows that it's there. All seems well but I still can't see the text that I write. Need help trouble shooting. (I asked this question about a month ago but I got sidetracked and never circled back.) Thanks.

    Please refer to your original topic (Text Layer not Visible.) instead of posting a new topic.

  • Issues with text on different OS

    Hi,
    On the "credits" section of my site,
    www.danielwaltermusic.com, I am having an issue with text appearing
    differently on OSX vs Windows. On OSX the text appears normally,
    with the links located exactly where they are supposed to be. On
    Windows XP and Ubuntu 2.22.3 (only systems I've been able to check
    it on) the links are located improperly like so:
    http://www.danielwaltermusic.com/awoa/siteexample.JPG
    If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be
    great. My web designer is not using dynamic text so that is not the
    issue.
    Also, if someone could help us figure out how to get the web
    player to play songs sequentially (as it is, the player stops after
    one song) that would be great.
    Thank you so much!

    Hi - thanks for your reply.
    I try not to use Iphoto, although it does sometimes kick in before i can cancel it. Normally, i copy the records from the card to the Imac hard drive.
    I'm assuming the CF card may have been formatted by a previous windows machine at some point. Is this likely to be an issue?

    issues with texting after the 6.1 update on my iPhone

    My wife and I are on different networks ie GCI vs AT&T after we both updated our iphones to 6.1 we no longer can receive texts messaging even though both are phones say the message was delivered. we can however text with other iphone users as long they are withing the same carrier and with everyone as long as they are not other iphones regardless of the carrier as well as with other iphon users that are still using 6.0. My wife and I also have ipads with wifi only and the one we updated to 6.1 is having the same issue while the one that is still 6.0 has no issue and will send and receive messages with out issue even to and from the 6.1 devives that are having issues. I have contacted both service providers and was told it is a Apple messaging issue. At this point I just would like to find and reinstal the 6.

  • Maddening issue with text... trapping?

    I have recently taken over as acting editor for a PDF-only publication with a very small audience. My previous experience with InDesign has been with preparing files for CMYK printing, so this is my first opportunity to prepare a document specifically for on-screen display.
    I am using a background image on several pages within the document. However, it would seem that no matter what I do, the resulting PDF does some funny things to the text.
    I have trapping turned off throughout the document, all my text is created from the [black] swatch, and I've specified "overprint fill" in the attributes menu just for good measure. However, no matter how I export my PDF, I get one of two issues:
    (1) With "convert to destination" selected and a CMYK colorspace as the destination, OR with "no color conversion" selected, I end up with trapped text on pages that have a background image, even though the background image only covers a portion of the page. Pages with no background image display text properly.
    (2) with "convert to destination" selected and an RGB colorspace as the destination, I end up with trapped text on pages that have a background image, but only where the background image does NOT appear.
    This is confusing because, in each instance, there's no valid reason for InDesign or Acrobat to display a trap. I've tried creating a trap setting with 0pt specified for the trap, and it doesn't help. See http://www.caves.org/grotto/lrg/images/indesign_frustrations.png for a screenshot of the issue.
    What on earth is going on? I just want overprinting black text to display as untrapped black text, and none of my export options seem to allow the PDF to appear as it does when I have "overprint preview" selected within InDesign. It's imperative that the text be crisp and legible on-screen, and the bloated, messy trapped-looking text is much more difficult to read at "fit page" -level zooms of less than 100%.
    I'm using InDesign CS3 on a Windows machine running Vista 64 with 6MB of RAM. I have not observed any other problems with the CS3 family of products. The font being utilized is Adobe Garamond Pro.
    thanks in advance to anyone who can shed light on the issue.
    on my last nerve,
    jeff

    I don't think you are seeing trapping I think you are seeing the results of flattening due to the use of transparency. Some text is either rasterized or converted to outlines. When outlined, text appears heavier because it does not benefit from hinting. You can reduce the use of transparency effects, export to a transparency-savvy version of PDF, or put the text above the transparency issues.
    I suggest a combination. Make a layer for the text above other layers and put all the text there that you can without mucking up the layout. Export to Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4) or higher to avoid flattening.

  • BW 3.5, BEx Query designer issue with text of the characteristics

    Hi All,
    We are currently using BEx 3.5 Query Designer to design the queries. We have one of the ODS on which we are querying for.
    We have 3 different types of Customer in this ODS. 0Customer, 0BBP_CUSTOMER and 0GN_CUSTOMER. The problem is when we open this ODS in Query designer we see their text name on the left hand side column where it shows data fields as the same text name Customer.
    Now the our Power users have raised the issue that it is very confusing even when there are 3 different technical names for these characteristics.
    2 Questions I have.
    1) Why is something like this happening? is it some issue with the Patch or something. We will be migrating to new BI soon but in the mean time if I could resolve it that will be the best. Or does it even get resolved with new BI???
    2) what is the way in which we can resolve it?
    Thanks in advance and points will be given generously.

    HI BI Consul!
    Things like this happen, when it is called customer it could be different customers, 0customer is the standard R/3 customer and 0BBP_customer is objects from CRM and most likely 0GN_Customer might be customer from different system.
    Sure, power users should be told which customer is customer and you could also change the discription of the object, to match the definition on the other system. You could also just create z object and replace the existing confusing object with something meaningful to users.
    thanks.

  • IS there a way to fix the issue with text list boxes where they shift (empty space is smaller than the text size) when two text lsit boxes are side by side?

    Currently I have a webpage I designed for a company where I have multiple text list boxes side by side for the purpose of displaying data in each one based on a category in the database. So a text list box for the primary key, name, serial number, etc. I have to use Firefox as it typically works best for printing and functionality for the page. The single issue we are having is that in Firefox if the field is null as far as text the text are shrinks meaning all the data in that list box shifts up and is no longer in line with its congruent data in the other text list boxes. In other browsers that's not a problem and everything stays lined up regardless of whether there's text in the box or not.
    Unfortunately I cannot provide a link but if contacted I will provide screen shots.

    Try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox. <br />

  • Premiere Pro CS5.5 -very strange issue with the color tones and Preview-

    I deal with a very strange and not usual problem in Premiere Pro CS5.5 (also the version CS5). What I try to do is just a simple color correction. The problem occurs when I try to use Three Way Color Corrector but it happens with Fast Color Corrector also.
    When applying the Three-Way Color Correction and without changing anything else (just applying), can be seen in the preview of the soft how sudden changes in color tones. For example, the gray tone becomes a little more green, but also can be seen very easy a change in the other color tones too. In fact even RGB Parade show the same thing. This is very, very strange and unacceptable and saw that it happens when trying to use Colorista II too.
    I tried the same thing in Sony Vegas Pro 11 and I downloaded the trial version of Edius 6 to convince me if the same thing happens. Not! In Sony Vegas and Edius everything is working correctly, I have not experienced these problems in the preview's of this 2 others softs.
    This issue is very annoying because every possible color correction is based on what we see in the preview and if in this preview the tones are seen altered realize that can not make a decent color correction. So what happens here?!? I uploaded a small video demonstration to see very clearly about what I'm talking. You can see in the next link: http://vimeo.com/35317616

    Yes Jim, you're right. No changes in the scopes when one just apply RGB Curves, Fast Color Corrector, RGB Color Corrector  or the Three way Color Corrector (last three thanks to the new update 6.03). I already wrote that Adobe team has been able to fix this bug for some of the tools/effects.
    But Brightness&Contrast? Change Color? Color Balance? Levels? MBLooks? Twixtor? Colorista II? Does it seem normally that all scopes or just one of them jump when you just apply one of these effects/tools? Not to say that in some situations even the tones change (especially in shadows&midtones).
    You say this is something "very minimal". I say it is not so. I don't find normally to make a very detalied CC with Three way Color Corrector and then when applying Colorista/MBLooks, for example, the scopes jump and inclusively some tones may be influenced. And I left clear examples in this topic where you can see that this is possible. I don't know if this is "very minimal" or not, but is really so impossible to edit in Premiere without this "very minimal" issue?!? How can it be possible in other softs (Edius, Media Composer, Vegas Pro) and in Premiere not?!?
    One more thing: many of us use intermediate codecs in the editing process. Do you find normally that a AVCHD video have the lumninance at approximately 110IRE, to export it directly to Cineform and then import it in Premiere, and the waveform shows the luminance at 100IRE?!? How is this possible?!? So the AVCHD video have a 110IRE luminance, you convert this video to Cineform without changing anything, and then this Cineform video have the luminance at 100IRE?!? And anyone can verify this example.
    So, how can one trust in this soft?!?

  • How to fix Issues with Citrix photoshop cs6?

    Good day people from Adobe.
    My university (ITESM) is using the Citrix plataform to stream to all of us students adobe's photoshop cs6 suite. However I am having issues with it becuase:
    1.-it isn't allowing me to upload new brushes (.abr)
    2.-nor it  detects  pressure sensitivity from my tablet.
    My other native mac programs like Gimp can detect the pressure sensitivity so it isn't an issue of my MAC
    Is this a problem with the my university's software? Should I contact them? or is it an issue with their version of photoshop?

    Yes, your university probably shouldn't be running Photoshop over Citrix.
    Citrix is not native, and won't be able to handle pressure or many other system specific options.
    I doubt that Photoshop can work correcly over Citrix (due to the limitations of it's virtual and streaming architecture), and the performance will not be very good even if you try.

  • Fatal Issues with Text in Adobe Illustrator CC 17.1

    I am having serious issues with my AI file today.  Whenever I select a text box, I get the error "Can't edit the type" if I try to modify the text.  Then it just pastes gibberish into the text box.  Please help, as I am on a tight deadline and this is really going to complicate getting things done on time.  Here is link to the file:  MHRH_ED_Floorplan_2015-03-08.ai - Box

    A work-around I was able to figure out it to select all of the text by type (point for example), and then convert it to the other type (area) and back to the original (point).  This messes up all of the text box spacing that I have in my document, but it allows me to edit text without the crazy errors I was having before.

    it's in output but what is data in database ?
    sorry but without knowing about source data for forming the xml i haven't ideas about your problem
    in db it's "TM " or "™" or ... ?
    Original (Coming - output):  "<PAY_TXT>PAYκ Contact your bank or financial institution to make this payment from your cheque, savings, debit or transaction account.</PAY_TXT>"
    Something like XAE or "K" after PAY Value in the xml tag and continued the text value.  (Tag value is not getting copied exactly here - i am sorry for that )
    that's ok. i need to see the problem not the data as is
    Expected (output):  "Here it needs to produce the "PAY TM" (Here "TM" should be super scripted to "PAY" Value in tag).
    as super scripted in xml?
    as idea - you can have <PAY_TXT>PAY TM</PAY_TXT> and in publisher set TM as super

  • Adobe Reader Display Issues with low color

    We use Terminal Services, and they use lower color.
    PDF's display fine in reader 7, but in reader 8 or 9 some PDF's will show blocks of black instead of text, that then flickers and changes color when scrolling through the document.
    This only happens when viewing files in low color (as I said we use terminal services with windows 2000, so we must use low color)
    Is there anything that can be done about this???

    known bug on terminal server. You will need to stay with Acrobat 7. It is a resolution issue as Windows 2000 on a terminal server only supports 8 bit color.

  • IOS 8.3 issues with texting to Android Devices

    after the 8.3 update, when my wife texts from her Android to my iPhone, or other iPhones, she get double messages and unknown number errors even though we are all in her contacts.  Android to Android no issues, and iPhone to iPhone no issue as well.  Anyone else seeing this?

    I am having the same issue. No problems iPhone to iPhone (mine is updated but my roommate's isn't), but yesterday I updated to 8.3 and my boyfriend updated to Android 5.0.1. We didn't have any problems yesterday after we both updated, but this morning he was getting the invalid number error when he tried to call me, and when he tried to respond to a text that I sent him. I did not have any issues. He discovered that if he went into his address book and started a new text thread with me, it went through fine, but he has to do this every time he wants to reply to me. My mom has an Android which she has not updated recently, and had the same "invalid number" error when texting me, but could call me with no problems. Another co-worker with a non-updated Android didn't have any problems texting me, but she was the only one of the 3 I tested with who did not have a Galaxy. I restarted my phone right after my update yesterday, but tried restarting again just now, just in case, and now he has no problems responding to my texts. He sent me a screenshot of his list of texts, and the text that originally replied with the invalid number error also showed an extra 1 in my phone number (11-972-xxx-xxx) even though his address book shows +1-972-xxx-xxx.
    I have an iPhone 5s, my mom and my boyfriend both have a Galaxy S4.
