Hang on dragging window which is initializing in Openbox

Hi guys,
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
If I open a window in Openbox and then drag the window whilst the program within is still loading up fully I get a complete system hang. Window and mouse are frozen and only Alt+SysRq REISUB will get me out of it.
The 2 programs which I've managed to do this on so far are Firefox (whilst it is loading pages that were open from the previous session) and VirtualBox (the window in which a VM is in the process of powering up) both of which take time to start up (relatively) compared to the other stuff I'm using (mainly terminals and console-based programs).
This has happened to me 4 times now. It is not reproducible every single time but I would guess it happens about 20% of the time. The alternative is to wait until the program has completed startup and has become quiet which is what I'll have to do in the meantime (haven't figured out yet how to get OB to remember window positions) but I don't think that is a permanent solution. I moved to Linux and then Arch because I was in search of performance and stability and so I'd really like to get this sorted (since my setup so far has been rock solid).
I suspect this is an OB bug but I would really appreciate any suggestions or pointers.
TIA

I don't have open box or know how to solve this , but one thing that may help you get more information is to start Firefox in a terminal, and see if any errors show up when this happens. Might help point to the problem

My P62290ea will usually start OK in the morning, but sometimes it hangs on the Windows screen.

I am running Win7 home Premium 64bit SP1. When I start up in the morning usually the PC loads OK. However, often it hangs on the Windows screen and I have to reboot and sometimes it is OK and other times I have to go via the HP srart-up screen. This inconsistency is very confusing and frustrating. Can anyone help?

Hello amorriss,
You have a frustrating issue to troubleshoot because of the randomness. We can try troubleshooting, but hard to say if it fixes it or not for a while.
Try putting the computer into a clean boot state, you can find instructions on this forum thread, http://goo.gl/w3KQH.
Once in a clean boot state see if you can get the problem to happen
If it does then we know it's not a program that is starting up causing the issue instead it is likely a driver.
If it doesn't then one of the programs that was booting when Windows boots was causing a conflict, the trick is figuring out which one.

Error when calling a popup window in the initial screen of an application

Hi,
    I am calling a popup window in the Initial screen to select the variant list.
I am getting an error reference to Null Object reference.
Here is the Error.
Runtime Errors         OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED_NO
Exception              CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL
Date and Time          15.06.2007 10:00:16
Short text
Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible.
What happened?
Error in the ABAP Application Program
The current ABAP program "CL_WDR_MESSAGE_AREA===========CP" had to be
terminated because it has
come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
What can you do?
Note down which actions and inputs caused the error.
To process the problem further, contact you SAP system
administrator.
Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can look
at and manage termination messages, and you can also
keep them for a long time.
Error analysis
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL', was not
caught in
procedure "SUPPLY_VIEW_DATA" "(METHOD)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING
clause.
Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
The reason for the exception is:
You attempted to use a 'NULL' object reference (points to 'nothing')
access a component.
An object reference must point to an object (an instance of a class)
before it can be used to access components.
Either the reference was never set or it was set to 'NULL' using the
CLEAR statement.
How to correct the error
Probably the only way to eliminate the error is to correct the program.
If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to
find an interim solution in an SAP Note.
If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following
keywords:
"OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED_NO" "CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL"
"CL_WDR_MESSAGE_AREA===========CP" or "CL_WDR_MESSAGE_AREA===========CM00Q"
"SUPPLY_VIEW_DATA"
If you cannot solve the problem yourself and want to send an error
notification to SAP, include the following information:
1. The description of the current problem (short dump)
To save the description, choose "System->List->Save->Local File
(Unconverted)".
2. Corresponding system log
Display the system log by calling transaction SM21.
Restrict the time interval to 10 minutes before and five minutes
after the short dump. Then choose "System->List->Save->Local File
(Unconverted)".
3. If the problem occurs in a problem of your own or a modified SAP
program: The source code of the program
In the editor, choose "Utilities->More
Utilities->Upload/Download->Download".
4. Details about the conditions under which the error occurred or which
actions and input led to the error.
The exception must either be prevented, caught within proedure
"SUPPLY_VIEW_DATA" "(METHOD)", or its possible occurrence must be declared in
the
RAISING clause of the procedure.
To prevent the exception, note the following:
Looking for Ur valuable suggestions.
Cheers,
Sam

Hi Sam,
The correct code for creating a popup window will be:
data lo_window_manager type ref to if_wd_window_manager.
data lo_api_component type ref to if_wd_component.
data lo_window         type ref to if_wd_window.
lo_api_component = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
lo_window_manager = lo_api_component->get_window_manager( ).
lo_window         = lo_window_manager->create_window(
                     window_name            = 'WINDOW_NAME'
*                    title                  =
*                    close_in_any_case      = abap_true
                     message_display_mode   = if_wd_window=>co_msg_display_mode_selected
*                    close_button           = abap_true
                     button_kind            = if_wd_window=>co_buttons_okcancel
                     message_type           = if_wd_window=>co_msg_type_none
                     default_button         = if_wd_window=>co_button_ok
lo_window->open( ).
Hope this helps.

I am also looking to get whether or not the document is open in a browser window which can be done with event

I am also looking to get whether or not the document is open in a browser window which can be done with event.target.external, but I want it to happen without any user interaction and all the events that I tried while loading the document cause an error. I also tried xfa.host.name, but it always returns "Acrobat" whether the doc is in Reader or the browser, so I guess that is not it. If I put the call to event.target.external in a button, it works (I guess those libraries might not be initialized yet, they are legacy, but I don't know if there is an event that happens on load after that lib is initialized).

// Check the document URL to determine if the form is open in the browser (online) or not (offline)
var MyDoc = event.target;
var MyURL = MyDoc.URL;
if ((MyURL.indexOf("http:") >=0) || (MyURL.indexOf(".tmp") >= 0))
ONLINE_STATUS_SAVE.rawValue = "ONLINE";
else
ONLINE_STATUS_SAVE.rawValue = "OFFLINE";

In the video: mission control in action in Mac 101,we see many open windows which I don't have. How do they get there?

On modern MBairs, the F3 key will take you to Mission control. Once there, hold the Option key down and you'll see a tab with the "+" sign on it. Pressing this will add another desktop. You can assign apps to desktops or just drag them there. Switching between desktops is done by swiping either 3 or 4 fingers across the trackpad. (depend on the option chosen in System Preferences > Trackpad).

Server 2008 R2, XP SP3/7 64bit client remoteapp dragging window problem

I'm running a small remoteapp server farm in 2008 R2 and am experiencing difficulties with some applications when dragging windows about.
The problem happens when moving windows around by left click and dragging, they seem to get 'undropped' even though the mouse click is still applied (happening on multiple users) This is usually within the application where 2 documents are open. Moving dockable
toolbars around is also a problem
I've tried remote desktop connection onto both the servers and it appears to work with no problems.
Environment:
Server 2008 R2 (2 of configured as an RDP farm)
XP SP3 clients
7 Pro 64 Bit
Photoshop CS5
Anyone have any ideas/links to hotfix which addresses this?

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
As the other build-in Windows application is working fine, it seems to be a compatibility issue. Please consider using the “RDS Application
Compatibility Analyze” below to test the application if meets the requirement of RemoteApp.

Z68-GD65 Hangs on Starting Windows because of USB Controller. Any fixes?

Issue: During Windows 7 (32 bit & 64 bit) installation and startup, the computer hangs at "Starting Windows". It will display a pixel or two of the first red part of the logo animation and then stop.
System Setup/Hardware:
Mobo - Z68-GD65
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB)
HDD - Corsair Force 3 60GB SSD
CPU - Intel i5-2400 (Sandybridge)
PSU - Antec Earth Watts 650W
GPU - Asus Geforce GTX 560 Ti
Cause: I found that when I disabled the USB Controller completely from the BIOS, everything worked smoothly (install & startup). If I left the USB Controller enabled and just disabled the Legacy Controller, I would be left with a blinking DOS cursor after POST.
This is an issue because both keyboard and mouse are USB. I had to borrow an old PS/2 mouse to even install windows.
Troubleshooting tried:
- Tried disabling EVERY (and yes, I mean every, I've rebooted this thing 50+ times [stopped keeping track]) setting that can possible be disabled individually
- Tried unplugged every component except: board, hdd and dvdrom
- Tried swapping RAM
- Tried swapping HDDs (to Sata non SSD)
- Tried swapping PSUs
- Tried changing Windows 7 install discs (one 32 bit, one 64 bit)
- Tried removing all motherboard connections (FP audio, FP usb, etc, everything but 24+8pin power)
- Tried clearing CMOS and resetting BIOS
- Tried enabling USB Controller via ClickOnce BIOS and restarting
- Tried fully updating Windows 7 and all drivers (video, mobo, etc)
- Tried updating BIOS with Live 5
- Tried leaving only USB 3.0 Controller enabled and plugging mouse/keyboard into those ports (blue on back)
- Tried Windows repair
- Tried Windows boot logging (got to file CLASSPNP.sys)
- Tried booting to Safe Mode
- Tried banging head on wall (this was successful in giving me a headache, but not booting the computer)
I mainly list the troubleshooting above to convey the amount of frustration I've had with this board.
The USB Controller simply seems bad or the driver (or the way the board interacts/loads the Windows driver) is bad. I must have USB on my computer.
If I need to RMA, please let me know, however, I would hope there is a solution out there to fix the USB Controller issue. The RMA deadline is the 20th, I hope I can get an answer one way or the other before this as if there is no answer, I will be forced to RMA and go with another product from a different manufacturer (I really wanted to get over my "Asus only" attitude and try you MSI! I've been impressed up until this point, please don't let me down).
Please help?
-Frazzled not tech illiterate personal system builder.

phasedone,
I was having the exact same issue with a new build (Mobo MSI Z68-GD65-G3). I had been banging my head against the wall for a while and then I came across your post. Subsequently, I disabled the USB controller in BIOS and my Win 7 install ran fine (minus the fact that I had no access to my USB keyboard and mouse). I set the BIOS back to default settings which re-enabled the USB controller, and thus was able to re-plug the mouse and keyboard in after the windows loading screen, where the 4 colored orbs come together to make the Windows flag. This seemed to do the trick.
Now the problem is, everytime the computer restarts (i.e. for any Windows updates), it freezes at the same point it would during the installation. This is again assuming the mouse and keyboard are still plugged into the rear panel USB ports. Which of course they're going to be!
Anyone with a recommendation as to how to fix this? Is this a hardware defect or can it be solved with some sort of driver or firmware update? I'm at a loss... but I certainly shouldn't have to unplug all USBs before starting the computer, that's just nuts.
I'm considering RMA as well, but would like to see if any MSI staff members or forum members might be able to share their insight.

How to get what was typed on a window which is inside another window

Hey guys!
I'm having a problem, i have created a program and when you click on a certain button a small window appears which was created from a class that i named Window...anyway this small window asks for a name, but somehow i can't send what was written in that window to the program that contains the main window...
i've tried creating a method in the class Window, which is called public String returnName(){ return, name;} but this doesn't return anything.

When i open firefox after restarting the pc i get a 2nd popup window, which I need to close manually. Why??

When starting my pc up and opening firefox for the first time, I always get a second window. which despite no menu or header behaves like a second instance of firefox. (not a tab). I have done searches, got add blockers on and removed all malware from my pc using kaspersky latest edition and databases.
HELP! I don't know where to go next.....

What is on this second window?
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

I have just started to use Muse for our design agency and learning how to build ourselves a new site, I have managed to create a basic lightbox which contains sliding images, what I need to do now is have a pop up window which goes into detail about the projects, what I would like is a piece of text or icon that when you roll over it and then click a separate window pops up with additional information in, once finished reading the info you can then click to close the box, any advice on how to do this?

The best way to do what you're asking is with the Composition widget. Start with the Tooltip preset, which, by default shows the info on rollover. You can change the option to show on click, which is what you're after. You can also add the close button or have the info disappear on rollout.

Opening an External Window which shares the same context.

Hi,
I have a requirement where I need to open an external window which shares the same context. (i.e, A window which belongs to the same application in a seperate browser)
If I use the following coding it only opens a model window in the same browser.
IWDWindowInfo winInfo = wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("NewWindow");
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createWindow(winInfo,false);
But if I use wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().CreateExternalWindow() it could only accept the URL that opens a seperate application with different context.
Please help me in this regard.

Hi Anbu,
Dont feel bad that i am asking you more questions than giving you answers.
if you just want to show content or let the user enter data or something you can use always popup modal/non modal window.
External window is used to refer to other website or other applications in otherwords referring other url.
So your workaround would be relaxing your requirement and redesign your application.
This is my view point.Probably some other expert sdn'ers might have better one you know.
Success !!
BTW- if you decided to follow nagarajan suggession then you have to use URL generator to generate the URL.Using static URL is depreciated and also wont work in your Customer places.

The red, green and yellow buttons in the upper left corner of the screen disappear whenever I open Safari. I cannot minimize the Safari window which I often need to do if I am coordinating multiple windows between different applications. Does anyone know how to get those buttons back? I guess I could just switch betwen appliations, but I am used to doing it the other way.

I have down loaded a track which was initially missing 1min 30 seconds. iTunes enabled me to reload the rack which is now complete on the PC. However, syncing with my Ipad2 does not seem to replace the incomplete version with the full version. Can anyone out there help?
Thanks S

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, I've un-checked the track and re-synced the Ipad as suggested, but then re-checking and re-syncing han no effect. The track is still missing the final minute and a half or so. I've tried it twice, but the effect is the same.
Any other ideas? Would un-checking the entire music collection and staring again work, or is that a road to disaster?

Wow- thanks Jim! I removed the case and voila... it worked. Knock on wood that you solved my problem with such an incredibly simple solution. I'll find out where this proximity sensor is and make sure my case does not interfere with it.
Thanks so much.
