Highlighter Issues.

Hello All,
Thus far I've had no issues with my adobe reader, however, as of late my highlighter tool has been giving me some problems.
Up until now I could highlight one lline of text at a time and navigate up or down to highlight multiple lines, but now when I attempt to highlight a single line, the tool automaticlaly highlights the lines above and below it and has an oval shape on the ends. ----- Does anybody have any insight as to how I can return this to just being able to go one line at a time, and If more I can navigate accordingly?

Try zooming in before highlighting. Sometimes the PPI/DPI settings cause this.

Text Highlighting issue with TextSnapshot object

Hi,
I am working with a digital book application. I make use of swf loader to load swf pages created from pdf. I use TextSnapsot to draw inline text highlight on the pages. The highlight is thoroughly retained on the respective pages throughout the session and later it can be updated/deleted without any problem. Everything was working great till I made the following changes in the swf loading approach to enable page caching:
I am now loading swf loader object into application memory and while doing jumping from one page to other page I am just copying the content of the next page to the current swf loader which is on the display to the user. There are two sets of swf loaders - one for displaying the page and other to cache the next/previous page(s). On the caching side, I load the swf into application memory and after getting it loaded I pick all the contents of the loaded swf page (the children of it's movie clip) into an array collection. While changing the page I copy the cached content into the swf loader's movie clip which is displaying the page.
Now when I highlight on the page on display and navigate back/forth from the page and comeback again to the page where I did the highlighting: It shows the highlight I did. But as soon as I try to draw another highlight on that page, the previous highlight is instantly disappears from the page.
I suspect that the Textsnapshot object which draws highlight while navigating (to the target display page) is different from the one which redraws/update the highlight on the same page next time. Although the Textsnapshot object id for both the objects is same.
Here are some code snippet:
For copying the content from the swf loader object cached in application memory:
      private function copyPageContent():void
            var contentCollection:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
            _pageContentVO = new PageContentVO();
            _pageContentVO.contentHeight = MovieClip(_swfPageLoader.content).height;
            _pageContentVO.contentWidth = MovieClip(_swfPageLoader.content).width;
            var count:int = MovieClip(_swfPageLoader.content).numChildren;
            for(var i:int=0;i<count;i++)
                var dispObject:DisplayObject = MovieClip(_swfPageLoader.content).removeChildAt(0);
                contentCollection.addItem(dispObject);
            _pageContentVO.pageContentCollection = contentCollection;
            _swfPageLoader = null;
For copying the content to the swf loader which is displaying the page:
      private function copyContent(pageContentVo:PageContentVO):void
            for(var i:int = 0;i<pageContentVo.pageContentCollection.length;i++)
                var dispObject:DisplayObject = pageContentVo.pageContentCollection.getItemAt(i) as DisplayObject;
                MovieClip(this.content).addChild(dispObject);
            this.content.height = this.height;
            this.content.width = this.width;
after this I dispatch swf loader's complete manually and in the handler of that event I take the text snap shot object.(highlightManager.as)
Code I use to draw highlight manually(using mouse drag on the page).
       public function setHighlight():void
            removeAll();
            if(_textSnapShot!=null && _textSnapShot.getText(0,_textSnapShot.charCount)!="")
                if(_isCoveredTextSelectedAtAnyInstance)
                    _textSnapShot.setSelected(_beginIndex,_endIndex+1,false); //this is the global variable to the class
                else
                    _textSnapShot.setSelectColor(0xfff100);
                    _textSnapShot.setSelected(_beginIndex,_endIndex+1,true);
                if(saveHighlight)
                    countHighlightedSegments();
Code I use to redraw previously drawn highlight when I return to the page:
       public function showHighlights(textSnapShot:TextSnapshot,currentPageNum:int):void
            if(currentPageNum >= 0)
                textSnapShot.setSelected(0,textSnapShot.charCount,false);
                var pageVO:PageVO = _model.eBookVO.eBookPagesVO.getItemAt(currentPageNum) as PageVO;
                var objColl:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
                objColl.source = pageVO.highLightSelection;
                for(var i:int=0;i<objColl.length;i++)
                    var highlightVO:HighlightVO = new HighlightVO();
                    highlightVO.beginIndex = objColl.getItemAt(i).beginIndex;
                    highlightVO.endIndex = objColl.getItemAt(i).endIndex;
                    setHighlightedSegment(textSnapShot,highlightVO.beginIndex,highlightVO.endIndex);
        private function setHighlightedSegment(textSnapShot:TextSnapshot,beginIndex:int,endIndex:int):void
            textSnapShot.setSelectColor(0xfff100);
            textSnapShot.setSelected(beginIndex,endIndex,true);
Looking forward to your support to resolve this issue.

Hi, I've resolved this issue.
It was a textSnapShot GC issue.
I just added the textsnapshot object into an array to avoid GC and that resolved my issue.

Text field highlighting Issue in oracle forms 11g after migrating from 10g

We have migrated the oracle forms from 10g to 11g.
On 10g oracle form when I click on the text item then text item value gets hilighted in blue color but after converting same form(without making any code changes) into 11g version form when I click on then text item then value is NOT hilighted.
Could please help me why it's behaving different? Are there any configuration changes required at the application server side?
Thanks

christian,
We have forms 11.1.1.2.0.
In oracle forms “text item value is highlighted When user clicks on text item” is controlled by form level property “KEEP CURSOR POSITION”.
This property is not working with JAVA SUN plug-in in forms version 11.1.1.2.0.
This issue has been fixed under Patch Set 2 (11.1.1.3.0). Please see below meta link.

For example: As in Fig1,if i click on the "TMD PDU" it navigate to the right page as in Fig 2,but in TOC "E-UTRA RLC Messages Overview"remains selected.Ideally in TOC "TMD PDU" page should be highlighted.
How to solve this issue?
Fig1
Thanks and Regards,
Rahul

Hi Rahul
There are a couple of things you need to check here. I'm going to assume from the images, that you are creating CHM files.
First, open the Project Set Up pod and expand the Windows folder. Then edit the properties of your CHM window and ensure the option to synchronize the TOC has been enabled.
Once you have done this, edit the Single Source Layout properties and click the Edit... button. This should open another dialog where you would click the TOC Styles tab. Ensure you enable the Always Show Selection option.
Cheers... Rick

The issue appears when clicking on a menu item from the top of chrome, and if there is a list then the blue highlighting of each item as the cursor moves down only highlights every second item instead of every item as normal.
I have had this happen in the past but was unsure which package was the culprit. I don't know from the above list which package update may have been responsible, but since the same effect has been seen on 4 different machines I presume it is likely kdebase-workspace? This is with KDE as the desktop environment, and with all packages up to date. Has anyone else seen this issue and if so is there a workaround or is it a known bug. It is an odd one to google for but presumably I am not the only one who has seen this issue. The version of chrome is chrome stable google-chrome 36.0.1985.125-1
Thanks.

I have no idea what the root cause is but if you turn off compositing (Alt+Shift+F12), it'll stop. You can use the Window Rules KCM to make a rule that'll automatically stop/start compositing when Chromium is started. Sadly, this is a poor workaround as you lose all the niceties that compositing brings You can also change KWin's render mode from OpenGL to Raster but that's too intrusive for me - I'd rather just disable compositing as a whole. I'm using a laptop with an HD4000 set to use the default SNA acceleration.

Highlight issue? Any idea?

Hi Forum, I am using Captivate 1.01, 1418 and
captured/edited software simulations. Obviously I used highlight
boxes of 3 px border. In some user machine it is 'invisible' after
publishing as SWF+HTML. Funny is these boxes are sitting nicely in
timeline/animation with plenty of delay. These boxes are not
aligned using snap to grid. Flash player is 7 or 8 and Captivate
uses player6, so there should not be any mismatch.
Can you help? Thank you.

Hi Highlight boxes issu and welcome to our community
Interesting forum name, BTW.
Okay, I'll bite. For starters, please note I'm not chiding
you or trying to imply you are silly. I will have questions about
your comments.
You said: Obviously, I used highlight boxes of 3 px border.
What I'm failing to grasp here is the "Obviously" bit, or how it
might factor into the mix. It's my experience that the Frame width
is normally 1 on these until you change it. So perhaps the
obviously part is related to your personal use? You didn't say what
color these are. Is it possible that they are a color that is close
to the surrounding color of the movie? Where there may not be much
of a contrast?
You later said that the boxes are sitting nicely in the
timeline/animation with "plenty of delay". This statement is a
cause for closer looking. When you say "plenty of delay", I'm not
sure what you are really saying. One could construe "plenty of
delay" to mean that the highlight box doesn't "show up" on the
timeline until perhaps four seconds into a ten second slide. In
this case, the user watches the slide for four seconds before the
highlight box would appear. Now if you later added a click box or
button that paused the slide perhaps TWO seconds in, you would have
a real issue as the movie would pause before the highlight box had
a chance to appear.
The fact that you have snap to grid turned off or on is
irrelevant. This is a totally behind the scenes thing that helps
the Captivate author and should have absolutely no effect on things
one way or the other. Same with the Flash player. At least as far
as I know to this point. I use Flash player 8 and my highlight
boxes have never failed to display. So are you saying the "errant
machines" (as you say in only seems to happen on a few machines)
always have Flash player 7 or 8? Or have you checked?
If the file works fine on one PC but not on another, the
issue is most definitely PC related and not Captivate related. So
it's time to pick apart the differences between the PCs where the
movie works fine and the PCs where it fails.
I sincerely wish you the best of possible luck in resolving
the issue... Rick

Mouse cursor problem (dock magnification, highlight issue)

My logitech wired USB mouse has an issue with my iMac. It worked for a couple weeks. After then, whenever it is plugged in, it does not magnify the dock, nor highlight things correctly (cursor does not turn into hand over links, does not open nor highligh menus unless clicked, etc).
After searching, this problem has dated back years and across OS X versions, usually having to do with a wireless or wired Logitech mouse (which mine is). The first thing people suggest is restarting/killing dock, re-install OS, repair permissions, among other things. This rarely fixes the issue. The solution that seems to fix it for most people is to simply unplug the mouse and plug it back in. Most people state this fixes it until it happens again a week later and either they do the unplug-plug again or just give up and switch to another mouse.
I have tried re-plugging it back in but it doesn't solve the issue. Other mice work just fine which I've have gone to, but I really want to use that mouse (plus, I hate giving up!)
Can anyone help me? I'd appreciate it! Thank you!
EDIT: Here are some more clues to the puzzle:
- The mouse works fine on multiple other computers
- Other people have described this problem as the iMac no longer knows where the mouse cursor is until a mouse-click is pressed. That is why it doesn't open menus, magnify the dock, change into a hand when hovering over a link, etc. To open and select a menu at the top of the screen, for example, the left mouse button must be clicked and held, then let go of when you want to choose something.

In webkit browsers my mouse/cursor does not respond to state changes. So when I hover over a link the mouse/cursor does not change to a hand or when I hover over a text box it doesn't change to the text cursor. It is really annoying. If I do click on a link after I click the cursor turns into a hand and then stays that way no matter what I hover over.
Just a remark:
I'm also facing a similar problem running chromium on 32-bit arch with KDE. When I move the mouse cursor over the edges/corners of the browser the mouse cursor changes state (so a s to show arrows used for changing windows size) but uses the default X11 theme instead of my KDE mouse cursor theme....
Also I'm using gtk-kde4 for gtk apps in KDE.

Ibook page mark and highlight issues

I had iPad for about 5 months. I had no problem until recently with the page mark and highlight in ibook. I can't seem to mark the pages(no respond) Sometimes it marks the previous page and when I highlight the sentence, it highlights it and also
highlights couple of streaks all the way bottom of pages on different pages.
Can anyone help resolve this problems? Thank you.

Someone else here with a Retina MacBook might be able to report whether they are experiencing problems with IBA on their machine.
But here is the other issue, no matter what setting I put it on the chapter pages are all broken up with white area in between. Its really odd. I have tried deleting and re-installing the application but nothing changes.
If you've re-installed IBA, you've probably done all you can. If there is an Apple Store in your area, you could take the MacBook to their Genius Bar and see whether they can help.
So it seems like a screen size issue, but why wouldnt they fix that.
Possibly, you are just the first one to notice?

"Scrolling / Highlighting" issue (hope this isn't an old issue I overlooked

Ever since installing iTunes in summer of '07, I have noticed a "problem" when I go and attempt to "highlight" a group of songs (etc.), no matter if they're in the MUSIC, PODCASTS, or any other group in my Library. Let me try to explain this problem so that it may be easy to understand...
As a theoretical example, I have 10 listings in my Podcast section of the Library. They would be shown as:
Show 1
Show 2
Show 3
Show 4
Show 5
Show 6
Show 7
Show 8
Show 9
Show 10
Now, let's say I want to highlight Shows 4 thru 8... I place my mouse on Show 4 and hit Enter to highlight 4, and then using the down arrow key (while holding down the Shift key) to allow me to highlight those entries. If I accidently go one (or more) entry TOO FAR past Show 8 (thus also highlighting Show 9), If I try to use the Shift + Up Arrow key, rather than the highlighted group "unhighlighting" Show 9, the highlighted group will suddenly highlight Show 3, rather than unhighlighting Show 9. I have all of the current iTunes and iPod upgrades... my Win XP has all of the upgrades, along with any/all upgrades to any/all hardware/software/firmware to every component of my PC.
I have iTunes installed on every one of the PC's mentioned, because many of the PC's may be in use when I am working on audio or audio-video projects, or when these networked PC's are used as a "grid computing" network when rendering large files which will eventually be made into DVD for myself or music clients.
This problem occurs no only on the MAIN PC I use for my audio video editing studio, but it also happens on the other 9 PC's, as well as 6 other stand-alone PC's throughout my residence! Apple's phone Tech Support has stated they are "looking into this issue" back in October of 2007, but I have yet to hear back from them.
If someone can give me a pointer as to what is going on, I would appreciate it. I have searched the Discussion Areas, but trying to go through thousands of results is pretty much pointless (and straining on the eyes!!!). I hope this is not an old question which is being "rehashed"; any assistance with this rather cumbersome problem would be appreciated.
I hope I have given enough information as to what I am using for equipment, and the example of the problem is easy enough to follow along.
Thanks in advance for any and all helpful hints / tips / solutions to this problem.
Cheers...

Hyperlink highlights issue from upgrade to Acrobat 9

Hello
I have recently upgraded to Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.
I have a pdf created from ArcGIS and Map2PDF which contains hyperlinks.
The hyperlinks work fine but when selecting them they highlight a black rectangle area which contains the hyperlinked shape rather than the shape itself. This causes problems because if the shapes are curved lines and are close to each other then it is difficult to see which line you have selected from the highlight. If I open the pdf in Acrobat 7 or 8 then all is fine.
This also happens with Adobe Reader 9.
I'm assuming there is something in the preferences which I need to turn off but I can't see anything obvious.
Cheers.

Yes, but is an upgrade version 7 PRO, not the full version.
I have already purchased the 9 pro upgrade,but I want to make sure before I open it.

Canon 5d Mk II - Repair Highlights issue

I recognized that in ACR 5.2 the Canon 5d Mark II has some
serious problems with Highlight recovery:
Yellows turn Red and Blues get desaturated.
It really keeps me from using it, thoug it usually is
an incredibly powerful adjust slider....
Anyone same problem?
Maybe an adobe camera raw bug.....
Nikolaus

> maybe a canon problem???
It is a combination of errors, none of them of Canon's (they do maintain their fare share, but not in this case).
1. The shot is overexposed: see the raw histogram:
http://www.panopeeper.com/Demo/NikolausMacheck_Adobe_0405_Hist.GIF
The overexposure affects much of the colored fluorescent tubes over the shop, but it does NOT affect the "fetons ...whatever" under "REPLAY" between the two doors.
2. ACR interprets the 5D2 raw data incorrectly. It sets the saturation level at 15600, while it is in fact 15760. This increases the apparent clipping, though the direct effect is limited to the sky.
3. ACR adds 0.4 EV to the exposure without telling it to you.
The above effects *together* push the "fetons whatever" tubes into clipping. This needs to be corrected by -0.6 EV "exposure", not by "Recovery".
However, all this won't help on the problem of color gamut: some of the resulting colors are simply not in sRGB. You need to reduce the brightness even more if you want to keep the colors inside sRGB.
Important note: if you switch in ACR to ProPhoto, you seem to have caught the proper colors. This is eye-wash. As your monitor is certainly incapable of displaying ProPhoto colors, what you see may be more pleasing than what you get with sRGB, but that is NOT the color, which can not be reproduced. You have to go back and take another look in order to see the "true" colors, for no printer and no monitor can reproduce that. Your only alternative is reducing the brightness.

Ms word 2010 highlighting issues

PLEASE HELP!! I am using a Mac Book Pro with current version of MS Word 2010, recently installed. I have files from previous versions of Word that worked fine with the highlighting of text, then with this version I cannot remove the highlighting off text or full sentences using the standard method from the tool bar. I sometimes have to use the paintbucket to remove or go to View, Formatting Palette, Borders and Shading and use that paint bucket. I am sharing a file over DropBox to make changes. Why is this happening that I cannot remove highlighting with out going to 3 different places to remove? sometimes I have to completely remove the text and re-type. Is there a glitch in the file? Very frustrating, please help.

You should try asking in the Office for Mac forums since your question is about Word. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac

Hi Vikas,
The recommendation is not to modify the out of box display templates. Whenever new patch or service pack applied Microsoft can update those out of box display templates, then you modified version will be lost.
So, create a copy of the display template and make the changes as per your requirement. Once created new display template you can map it with the required result type and query rules. Please refer to the following article.

NumericStepper focusing/highlighting issue

Hi,
I have extended NumericStepper to format all values to have 2 digits, hence any number from 0 through 9 will be prepadded with 0. The highest these numbers will go is 50. On creation complete, I set the focus to this stepper. When I drop this stepper in a datagrid, once I click on a cell that uses this stepper, it renders the stepper properly. However, when it focuses on the stepper, it only highlights the first digit of the two digits if the number was prepadded. For any other number greater than 9, it highlights both digits properly. For example, say I initialize my stepper to be 10. When I click on the cell that has this stepper, the focus is on the stepper and in which highlights the entire number 10. If I initialize the stepper to 8, when I click on this cell, the number 08 shows up properly but the focusing only highlights the 0. It does not highlight the 8. It seems as though the focus manager didn't know the value of the stepper was prepadded with a 0. Any ideas on how to debug this? Below is my stepper extension:
public class FormattedNumericStepper extends NumericStepper {
        public function DoubleDigitNumericStepper() {
            super();
            addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, handleChange);
        private function handleChange(e:Event=null):void {
            var txt:TextInput = mx_internal::inputField;
            if (txt.text.length == 1) {
                var formattedString:String = "0" + txt.text;
                txt.text = formattedString;
        override protected function commitProperties():void {
            super.commitProperties();
            handleChange();

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I tried what you suggested in my numericstepper extension (bolded below) but it seems to not do anything. Any other ideas? Thanks.
public class FormattedNumericStepper extends NumericStepper {
        public function DoubleDigitNumericStepper() {
            super();
            addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, handleChange);
            addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN, focusingHandler);
        private function handleChange(e:Event=null):void {
            var txt:TextInput = mx_internal::inputField;
            if (txt.text.length == 1) {
                var formattedString:String = "0" + txt.text;
                txt.text = formattedString;
        override protected function commitProperties():void {
            super.commitProperties();
            handleChange();
        private function focusingHandler(e:Event=null):void {
            var txt:TextInput = mx_internal::inputField;
            txt.setSelection(0, 1); // or end index of 2, still doesn't work

ComboBox / TextField Highlight Issue

I've got a form that uses the ComboBox component which, when
previewing in html loading the movie normally, the halos or
highlights that show when tabbing through my form (text fields and
comboboxes currently).
As soon as I load that RegForm through another swf using
loadMovieNum, the halo's cease to exist for some reason.
I've tried to set _lockroot = true on either swf, then on
both swfs just for kicks, but that didn't do it.
Anyone have any ideas on this?
Thanks!

Replicated your situation: works here.
Are you sure you have the options "Clear Destination when no selected item" and "Data Change and Interaction" on the main sheet checked/selected?
