Filename text remains highlighted

In the finder, it's very hard to edit filenames because the filename highlighting stays on (yellow on my system) and the cursor position does not move when I click to a different position in the name. Using arrow keys does not move the cursor position either. Also the item line remains highlighted (orange on my system) even when I click away from it. It often takes several clicks for choice to "stick." I'm not sure what kind of finder bug this is.

It is with a lot of S40 phones that I know of, including my 6300. Once the message is sent, the main navigation button becomes the "Exit" key.

How to change the color of text but only when that text is highlighted

I am NOT asking how to change the highlight color OR how to change the text color generally, but rather, how to change the text color as it shows onscreen while it is highlighted. Here's where I'm going:
Text is ordinarily black (assume) such as when the Finder is open or when viewing a list of all emails in an inbox.
Let's say I change the highlight color systemwide, in prefs > appearance > highlight color, to a custom color ("other") of black (for example).
In certain programs (mail, billings, iBank, addressbook, even the Finder), when I highlight a line of something, (like when I one-click on an email or a file name just to select it but not open it), the line will highlight in black, but the text of that line will automatically change to white so it can be seen.
However, when I highlight actual text (click and drag or double click), such as when editing a document in Pages and selecting a word, line, paragraph, editing an email, etc., the highlight is black, and the text remains black also, which means it cannot be seen (black on black).
So, how do I change it so that when I highlight the actual text the text color changes to white, then when it is de-selected, it goes back to black.
I'm not afraid to do a little terminal/command line, but only if it’s a little. Hope this gives enough detail.
Thanks.

You can use span HTML tag.
For example, if your label is "Product Name", and you want it to appear in red, you can type this:
<span style="color:red">Product Name</span>Hope it helps.

How can I restore the text selection highlight colour to the default black colour in indesign CC ?

How can I restore the text selection highlight colour to the default black colour in indesign CC ?

Manish Shama, thanks for your speedy response. I was able to get into my MAC settings and change the background from the black to whatever color I like, so that helps (THANKS!). But the real issue is that the selected text does not turn white (even though that's what's specified in my MAC settings), it remains black. I really want to have the selection reverse out as it always has for years and years going all the way back to PageMaker Any ideas?

I have updated to the new version of iPhoto but it will no longer let me edit text in the preset text boxes. The text is highlighted for a nanosecond but will not stay highlighted so I can amend it. Can anyone help me with this. Many thanks.

Many thanks

You might try using the add-on 'NoSquint' which allows numerous zoom options specific to each page you visit & keeps your settings - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/
If you want to go back to 3.6x, you will find it here:

In most cases you can simply "upgrade" (meaning downgrade) directly from the installation. It would be a good idea to save your passwords & bookmarks just to be on the safe side.

Hi. Whenever I go through one of the menus in firefox, the links remain highlighted after my mouse passes over them. Is there a bug fix for this or is there something wrong with my computer? I am running windows 7 if that helps.

I have downloaded and used the iPod Reset Utility, alot that did. My current state is iTunes on my XP Home with SP3 sees the iPod. When I drag a song to the iPod, the Sync message appears for about 5 minutes, then the Apple symbol appears. But no song has been transferred to the iPod.
I tried to tap into the XP iTunes database from my iBook, but although it acted like it would add the XP library to the iBook library, it did not. I've got 19 Gs of songs on the XP. If I have to load each song from its original CD to get it on my iBook I'm going to start looking for some other app or device so that I can listen to my music.
It is a shame, in the old days, Apple techs use to look at what was going on, now it appears they don't, so they never know they have problems until Apple's profits fall.

Help - text boxes/highlighting hidden unless selected in Acrobat Pro 9.2

I am working Acrobat Pro 9.2. When I insert a text box, it disappears when I click somewhere else. I can only tell it's there If I hover over it - I get a black mouse arrow. If I click on it and select it, then I can see the text and border, but if I click anywhere else, it disappears. I've tried all the options and settings I can find. It is set to show, not hide, all comments and text boxes. Also, when I try to highlight regular text, it puts a little yellow, symbol above my text but does not highlight the text. When I roll the mouse over it, a yellow note pops up with the text I highlighted, but when I move the mouse away, nothing is highlighted. Again, I've tried changing all of the settings I can find related to highlighting but nothing works. I use Acrobat on other computers and have used both text boxes and highlighting without any problem. Is this due to a setting somewhere, or is there something wrong with my installation of Adobe? Thanks.

Something to check.
To have text selected by the Highlight tool placed into the annotation's pop-up:
Preferences > select Category "Commenting"
There are three panes of configuration options.
--| View Comments
--| Pop-Up Open Behavior
--| Making Comments
Tick the last option (Copy selected text into Highlight, Cross-Out, and Underline comment pop-ups) in the third pane.
Play with the other options as you may find others that are very useful.
For form fields:
Preferences > select Category "Forms"
In the first pane (General), select "Show focus rectangle".
In the second pane (Highlight Color) select "Show border hover color for fields".
Be well...

After clicking on a bookmark it does not remain highlighted. it did this in 3.3 which made running through a list of bookmarks easier. I can make the highlight re-appear by clicking on the bookmarks box , not the x obviously!

In 3.3 if i clicked on a bookmark item, either to open in current tab or to open in new tab, the bookmark was highlighted with a blue bar. If I then backed out or closed the tab, the bookmark item would remain highlighted until I selected a new bookmark item. This made searching through bookmarks easy as I always knew the last item I had tried.
In 3.6 the bookmark highlight disappears as soon as it is loaded, again either in current or new tab. However it can be made to re-appear by clicking on the little box above the bookmarks that contains the word 'bookmarks' and the 'x'

Update - I discovered that the entire list of bookmarks can be accessed in the Organize Bookmarks window by clicking on the icon for Bookmarks Menu.
This seem like odd interface behaviour to me.
All the other software I use follows the pattern that an icon with a triangle to the left, which you click on to expand the menu tree downwards, shows the entire contents of the category when you click on the triangle. In other words, you don't get a different response by clicking on the icon from what you get by clicking on the triangle.
It also seems odd to me that when an unsorted bookmarks folder is automatically provided that unsorted bookmarks would not be placed there by default.
Anyway, by getting the list of bookmarks displayed this way I was able to simply right-click on items in the list and delete them, as I thought I should be able to do. Problem solved. Organize Bookmarks interface found to be somewhat unintuitive.

When I type my text gets highlighted and then deleted.

I am having a problem with typing. When I type fast my text gets highlighted and then deleted or typed over. Im not sure what is wrong. I think it is either a trackpad or keyboard. Any help be great!!

The trackpad on the MB and MBP have a larger surface with more sensors than on previous laptops. As a result, when we type we have other fingers, thumbs etc. making contact with the trackpad and the trackpad receives input we don't intend. It happens to me quite often. So I hit Command + Z to undo and reposition the cursor. We need to train ourselves so that we keep our hands, palms, thumbs or other unnecessary body parts away from the trackpad while typing.

Adobe Acrobat. Change "Copy selected text into Highlight, Cross-Out, ..." also for highlights made before changing the setting

I am looking for a solution to apply the "Copy selected text into Highlight, Cross-Out, and Underline comment pop-ups" setting to highlights that I made before I changed this setting.
Someone wrote a batch for this which costs 60 dollar and this seems to do what I am looking for: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Retroactively Copy Highlighted Text into Comments
Where can I find Adobe's solution for this problem? I do not want to buy external batches for a professional software suit.
I expect that this is a common problem for people who start to organize a large literature base with many pdfs and must keep track of highlighted text. I was not previously aware of the "Copy selected..."setting, but I need to change it now for all my pdf files to make them compatible with a reference manager that I want to use. New comments are now compatible, but the hundreds(!) of pdfs that I worked through before are not, so copy pasting the highlighted text into comments is not an option.

You may want to consider an upgrade to the current version of Acrobat. There were substantial improvements to the Compare feature in Acrobat 9 and later. (There won't be any upgrades to Acrobat Professional 8.)

My texts are highlighted when exported to a PDF file...

Hello,
I am new to In Design. I have to update a large poster created with this software.
I copied/pasted the new texts and everything is fine on the screen. But when I export the file to a PDF, the text are highlighted with a yellow color.
Does anybody know what is hapening?
Thank you
Sinequa

Dear Peter,
This is much easier.
I tried to print the In
Design file to see if the text was also highlighted but I did not succeed.
I only printed a tiny part of the file.
As I told you on my last
post, the PDF file is also correct but when I print it aprt of the text is
highlighted. I mean the titles are OK but the bulk of the text is not.
A+

Light colored text and highlighting is very difficult to see.

Light colored text and highlighting is very difficult to see. How can I make it darker or more pronounced? It seems to get darker if I push the screen as far back as it goes. MacBook 5.2 OSX 10.6.8

A problem for many of us.
You can change the highlight colour in System Preferences > Appearance
For awkward choices of text colour, you can either zoom to see it larger (hold 'ctrl' and scroll forward), or reverse the colours by holding dwn the ctrl, opt and command keys and typing 8 (⌃⌥⌘8). The same key sequence will toggle it off again.

Selecting text for highlighting

Why am I able in some documents to use a bar cursor that allows me to block text, while in other documents all I get is a x-pointer that does not allow me to block text for highlighting?

Block? You can only select and highlight documents that actually contain text; you cannot do that with scanned documents (images), unless they are OCRed.

"Sliding Panel" title text remains black

I don't know why, using a "Sliding Panel" title, if I change the face color nothing happens... the text remains black. I'd like to make it white, but there's no way to do it, here. Even opening it in Motion, I set white color for text face, but it remains black....

You could open a copy in Motion, disable the Title layer and add a text layer and a fade in/fade out behavior. Remember to make the new text a published parameter.
Good luck

Replace Filename text by start/end position?

I could do this in php, but I know nothing of applescript. The main function I need is PHP's substr_replace, to rename files in a passed array, by start/end string positions, with passed text.
Basically I'm looking for an applescript function to add to an Automator workflow, that will replace filenames with text, by character position. The applescript function would have 4 parameters, (files:Array, startPosition:int, endPosition:int, replaceWith:String). The first is an array of the files passed by Automator's "Get Selected Files" func, then the starting and ending positions for what is to be replaced, finally followed by the string to replace with.
So something like,
function renameFilenamesByPosition(files, startPos, endPos, replaceWith)
for(i=0;i<count(files);i++)
file = files;
oldName = basename(file);
newName = substr_replace(oldName, replaceWith, startPos, endPos);
rename(oldFilename, newName);
Any help in coming up with an applescript that I can do this, and be inserted into an Automator workflow, is MUCH APPRECIATED!! I often have files with number tags, that I'd like to have removed.

I had a substring handler that converted fairly readily, but I was looking for something more general-purpose to put into an Automator action. Using an action is good for making the interface not quite so ugly, but there is a bit more to do to make sure it is robust enough to take whatever the other actions can throw at it. I finally decided on an action that trimmed an adjustable number of characters from the beginning or end, with an option to add a text variable - something that the existing rename doesn't do.
As for my replacement handler, the main difference is that it uses the normal AppleScript index ranges, and the index items can also be text strings. There is also a bit more code to take care of stuff like negative or swapped indexes (yours definitely doesn't like that). It does work differently than the PHP function, which is probably not what you were looking for.
