FF 3.6.8 hangs until I move the cursor
Just upgraded to 3.6.8. Now, when clicking on a link, FF does not respond until I move the cursor away from the link. This happens every time I click on a link or a menu item within FF. Usually I need to move the cursor out of the FF main window into the menu area or switch to another program to get FF to load the new link.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
Delete ''downloads.sqlite'' (plus ''downloads.rdf'', if it exists) in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]

Firefox 4.0.1 won't load pages until I move the cursor
Whenever I click on any link, the new page doesn't appear until I move the cursor around. If it takes a long time to load, I have to do this multiple times. This sounds like a minor detail, but it's a pain in the ass. Also, it means that it doesn't automatically check for new emails in gmail, so I don't know if I have a new email unless I check it manually.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

My iPad2 will sometimes hang when loading an mp4. Gives an error message then attempts to resync which hangs until I unplug the iPad.
I have an iPad 2and have not had any trouble until I up dated my os. I have a pc with win 7. I do not sync since I have so much music on my computer. I synced my apps during the back up but I had to manually reload my music and videos. Since then I turned off all syncs.
Since I have to load all my movies on this has been happening. I get through about 4 movies then it will hang up. I eventually get an error message that it cannot load this movie. I then attempts to close out. This seems to hang. When I attempt to eject the iPad it attempts to sync and that never finishes. I pull the plug and that stops the sync but I have to restart the computer before I plug back in the iPad or it will not recognize it or it will attempt to finish the sync which never ends. It sometimes hangs on something with safari and site protection.
After I restart my computer I can put in 4 or so movies, including the one it hung on before, but it always hangs up again. Any suggestions?I am having an almost identical problem and hoped that iOS 6 and the new iTunes would fix it. Regrettably, I again got 3 movies synced last night before iTunes locked up and gave me the xxxx cannot be synced "because the file cannot be written" message. Same deal with iTunes hanging on "finishing sync" after that and me having to remove the iPad from the cable to get things to come back to life on the PC (Win 7 64 bit).
I've also done a factory restore followed by a restore from backup and have the same problem. -

PS CS5 Extended on Windows
When trying to use the clone stamp and/or healing brush as soon as I move the cursor from the toolbar over to the image I get an exact copy of the existing layer that moves around the window with the movement of the clone stamp/healing brush. This just started tonight. What's causing this weird behaviour?What are the settings in Window > Clone Source?

I upgraded to 4 and I noticed that after 4 has been up for an hour or so I click on the bookmarks. I see my list of bookmarks below but when I move the cursor down to select one, the list disappears.
The only way I have found to fix this is to stop and start 4. I can then move the cursor down to select a bookmark. This problem has not occurred in previous versions.
ps.. no '''''delicious''''' installedNo, I see the three areas at the bottom of the Bookmark area that you refer to, but that also highlights an issue. When I want to save a story to my Reading List and click on Share then "Add to Reading List" then go back to look at what is stored in the Reading List, my recently-saved item is not there.
I looked thru the History tab and the Reading List tab and have been in the Bookmark tab. But even when I Save a Bookmark, that newly-saved Bookmark does not show up in the Bookmark area.
But then again, the next day (and actually just in the last half-hour) all of the functionality came back. When I look at the Bookmarks, suddenly, again, all of the Bookmarks that are on my Safari browser on my iMac are now there, and I can now Save a Bookmark.
It keeps coming in and out and that is what is driving me a little nuts.
Thanks. -
So the problem is, I cannot click on anything in the Recovery Disk and Log in screens (to enter your password), but I can move the cursor. My trackpad works fine everywhere else except for these screens. If I connect a USB mouse, I am able to click on things in these screens.
NOTE: I am not just tapping, I am really clicking on the trackpad.
I recall some time ago when this wasn't happening, not sure if that was when I was on Leopard. I sort of suspect 10.8.x, but I'm not too sure.
Has anyone else experienced this? Would appreciate help. Thanks!Try an SMC reset. The article covers when this is required, but doing this will not affect anything.

How to move the cursor in a text input programatically
Hi,
I am using a TextInput field and a my own keyboard UI with buttons for each alphabet.
When the user presses buttons on the keyboard UI, i populate the TextInput field through data binding.
But I would want the cursor to move as the characters are entered in the field at the same time.
So, how do I move the cursor using actionscript code?
thanks,
SunilIn that case you need to programmatically insert the text at the selection point. You get the selection point using the selectionBeginIndex and selectionEndIndex properties. I have an app where I do that, using this code:
// textInput is the name of the TextInput control
private function insertTextAtSelection(text:String):void
var start:int = textInput.selectionBeginIndex;
var end:int = textInput.selectionEndIndex;
var hasSelection:Boolean = start != end;
textInput.text = textInput.text.substring(0, start) + text + textInput.text.substring(end);
if (hasSelection)
textInput.selectionBeginIndex = start;
textInput.selectionEndIndex = start + text.length;
else
textInput.selectionBeginIndex = textInput.selectionEndIndex = end + text.length;
This is what the code does:
gets the starting and ending positions of the insertion point (in case the user has an active selection rather than just an insertion point).
concatenates the old text with the new text and writes it into the text input
restores the user's previous selection or insertion point (In this case I'm setting the selectionBeginIndex and selectionEndIndex properties rather than calling setSelection(), but the end result is the same.) -
Why does added text disappear when I move the cursor
After adding text to an unprotected .pdf file the text disappears when I move the cursor and want to add a second box of text. The text in the first box reappears when I double click on the space where the box was. How do I set the text so that it remains visible and printable?
Hi,
I think the data in the PDF file was filled-in using MAC preview.
One option is to ask the user to fill the file again using Adobe Reader or Acrobat.
Or else refer to following link:

How to move the cursor to a text field
Hello,
I have a log in window with Username (Text field) and password (Secure Text field). The 'Log In' button is not enabled if I use the Set command. So I wish to use the Keystroke.
But I need to make sure that Cursor is in the text field and then to keystroke. So how can I move the cursor to the required text filed?
Note:
+Why the cursor is not blinking in the text field where I just 'SET' (command)+
+the value?+Well, for a start you can identify the application you're working in. That's kind of important.
In most cases you can just emulate a press of the tab key but it's kind of a crude a approach (there's no guarantee that you're in the field you expect). Certain applications, though, may have better ways of achieving it, but since we don't know what application you're using we can't say if that's the case here. -
How to move the cursor with keyboard
Is there a way to move the cursor with the keyboard? My right forearm is hurting prob because of extended use of the mouse.
While in the 'Finder' click on 'Help' in the upper menu bar....enter 'Mouse Keys' and then select 'Controlling the pointer with the numeric keypad'....only problem I can see is the MacBook doesn't have a numeric keypad...so you would need an full size external keyboard....tried it on my iMac and it works OK...

Using Nightly 28.0a1, I'm having a problem with the text box fields when typing. I use Hacker's Keyboard which has onscreen arrow keys and I find it more convenient than fiddling with a tiny cursor thumb when editing text. On the Play Store Firefox it works just fine but on Nightly, any time I try to move the cursor with the arrow keys it jumps out of the text box and highlights other elements on the page. This is annoying beyond belief as it means having to resort to that imprecise thumb cursor that takes forever to get where you want it. Is this a known issue with the latest nightly builds?
Thanks for the report. I have filed bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=939959. It would be helpful to know and if you can comment into the bug to indicate which input field you are testing on.
