HELP: Weird, Search Field, etc is "Square, Square, Square..."

Hi all.
Other than this very strange appearance oddity recently, everything is running fine in iTunes and iTunes Store:
1.When doing both searches in iTunes Search Field and inside iTS Search Field, *whatever I type, becomes "squares"...*
2. When redeeming with iTS cards, same, everything else text in the window is 'squares', even the Mac ID and password I typed.
*As long as there is a place for me to input text, all appears as "squares".*
*But as I quit and relaunch iTunes, it seems OK. This seems intermittent.*
Thanks and cheers

I have same problem! Anyone know how to fix this?

Search field stays highlighted, can't use spacebar, etc... Help!

This is so very annoying.
A lot of the time I can't use the space bar to start or stop tracks because the highlight, (blue), stays locked on the search filed.
No matter where I click in iTunes, (tracks playlists, etc.), the highlight stays there...
If I do a search it stays there. If after a search I choose a track I want, and hit the spacebar, the search clears and is replaced by a space, (just as one might expect.) This has been happening, on and off for a while, and with different versions of Lion. (Pre 10.7.2, etc.)
I say, "on and off," because sometimes when I relaunch iTunes, the highlight will no longer be locked on the search filed, and I can use the spacebar for play/pause.
But then inexplicably it comes back to this same state of keeping the search field highlighted no matter what I do.
Btw, this state may also continue, even after a restart, though typically if I launch and quit enough times it will go away.
However, once highlighted, it will never go away while iTunes is open.
Any ideas?

Help needed

hi, Jkuma,
we met the similar situation with you while developing a anpplication form for HR.
our conclustions are:
1. it's not feasible to put all the data into the form, it will make the form too big and slow, so it must be a online interactive form
2. you may put a search field to let the user to input some kind of criteria and do the search on the r3 side and return the hit list on the form , but it's not so easy to develop a table control on the form using javascript to get the selected one.
3. so we built a 'selection screen' , using webdynpro for abap,
it will show up before the form, while can use ddic search help, to make the selection, then put all the selected entries into the adobe form for further processiong.
how this is helpful hint for you.

Search Help for a Field of a Table Control

I have designed a screen using 'Table Control' with fields like Date, BoxNo,Quantity etc. Kindly tell me how to go about providing a search help for the field 'BoxNo' of this table control so that the user is not required to scroll down the entire table/list for selecting a particular box no.
Thanx in advance,
Alok.

When you go to screen painer, in screen painter attributes window, there is an atribute called search help, fill it.
Another way is, after PAI put:
PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
FIELD box_no MODULE f1_help_box_no.
And gives logic in that module using FM F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST.
Regards.

screen checks in abapautomatically checks for format of field when u enter data....i.e date, integer etc...the problem in this case is that when u seelct a value using the help it is filling a value which is not the correct format...so check for the data types and test it again...this is definitely the problem.

Now Goto SE11 -> Enter Ztable -> Select that field -> Click Search Help and try to assign the created Search help to that field in your Ztable explicitly
OR
Create a Zdata element in SE11.
In Data Element, under Further Characteristics tab, enter Name Parameters of Search Help.
Assign this data element to that field in ur Ztable.
OR
Create a Zdomain and maintain a Value Table or Fixed Values for it.
Assign this domain to that field in ur Ztable.

Its values are stored inside a internal table.
