I get vertical lines below the text when I type

After upgrading to Firefox 4 in Windows 7 I get vertical line that appear below what I type. This is not happening with other browsers. Anybody else experiencing this or have a solution?

This problem should not be because of hardware acceleration and I think I found the answer. I was getting odd graphical iisues in Firefox 4. Not just with the strange vertical lines. By disabling hardware accelration it did indeed fix the issue with the lines underneath where I typed in boxes. But the other problems were still an issue. I tried to fix the other issue by disabling all my addons and it did not make any difference. BUT when I restarted Firefox 4 in safe mode it did. Which led me to believe something else was at play here.
I remembered the UserChrome.css I had in my Firefox profile folder. I renamed that file and restarted Firefox. All my graphical bugs vanished. Out of curiousity I also enabled hardware acceleration. Voila! No more vertical lines either!
Now I did a reinstall of Firefox 4 just to check if it created a UserChrome.cc file but it did not. So I can only assume that there is something in that old file that others have when upgrading from Firefox 3 that causes this issue and other graphic probs.
I advise anyone who noticed this issue to try renaming UserChrome.css if it exists and see if it resolves the issue or not.

  • Why am I getting vertical lines below each letter I type?

    I keep getting vertical lines below each letter that I type when filling in things with Firefox 4. There is one line created for each letter.

    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
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    In Firefox 4 [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
    * Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.
    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)

  • Why is there a thin vertical line on the copy when I use the feeder?

    There is a thin vertical line on copies when I use the feeder but not when I copy from the glass. The copier is new. Any ideas?

    Hi Ccorning, When a vertical line (top to bottom) is produced only when using the feeder (ADF) of your laser product, the issue would actually be due to a small mark or debris on the scanning glass area that sits directly under the left panel cover of the ADF.  This occurs because as the paper feeds through the ADF and across the scanning area, every inch of the paper passes over the small mark which gets picked up by the scanner.  This then produces what looks like a line.  However, thorough cleaning can resolve the issue. You can clean the platen glass and the underside of the ADF by following the procedure below. 1.  Turn OFF the Main Power Switch and disconnect the power cord. 2.  Open the ADF. 3.  Clean the ADF scanning area on the left side of the platen glass and the same area on the lid (the area that would touch the scanning area when the lid is down) with a cloth dampened with water.  You will want to carefully and fully clean the glass in the ADF scanning area.  Look for scratches, tiny spots and marks of any sort.  If marks are noticed, you may have to clean the platen glass up to three times or more depending on what created the mark (i.e.. correction fluid, pen ink).  You can use a soft lint free cloth either dry, with glass cleaner or water to clean the glass and may have to scrub until it squeaks to remove certain types of marks.  NOTE: Please spray the cloth with the cleaning solution and not the glass.  Another way to ensure the mark is removed is to use a credit card by placing in on a angle and sliding it across the glass in one direction.  The plastic of the card will not scratch the glass.  You can then lift the credit card when reaching the end of the glass and return to the other side to slide it across again.  Then wipe the area with a soft, dry cloth. 4.  Close the ADF. 5.  Reconnect the power cord and turn ON the Main Power Switch. Caution:  Be careful not to get your fingers caught. After cleaning the glass, run 4-5 blank/clean pages through to test it.  If the thin black line still appears, please try cleaning the scanning area again as a mark on the glass is the only cause for this.  If the issue persists, there may be a scratch in the glass which would require service. If further assistance is needed, please feel free to Contact Us.

    Hello, sounds like Video card  and/or heat problems.
    Have you blown the dust out lately? Let it cool for an hour or so.
    Get Temperature Monitor to see if it's heat related...

    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode).

  • What does it mean when there pink vertical lines on the start up screen?

    What does it mean when there are pink vertical lines on the start up screen on an IMac ?

    It means you have a hardware problem. That could be the screen itself or the graphics system, GPU.

  • Events Created in iCal get cut off Below the Screen

    For the last few versions, iCal has had a problem with Event windows going below the screen; when this happens, users can no longer see what they are typing in the Event. I was able to duplicate this problem on every current Mac model in an Apple Store, so it is not a hardware issue, or an issue with screen size. Models tested include all MacBook Pros, Macbook, MacBook Air, iMac, Mac Pro with 24" Display, and Mac Pro with 30" Cinema Display. The problem was also reproduced by Apple Support.
    I use a MacBook Pro 15" with a display resolution of 1440 x 900. All software is up to date. (Mac OS 10.6.1, and iCal 4.0, Build 1362). Here are the steps to reproduce the problem:
    1) Set the System Preferences for the Dock to 'Automatically hide and show the Dock', to get it out of the way.
    2) In iCal 'Month View', create a new Event in any day on the bottom row of the calendar.
    3) The easiest way to duplicate the problem is to type about 7 lines of text in the 'note' section.
    If more than 7 lines total (in Event Description and 'note' sections) are entered, the bottom of the Event pop-up window goes below the screen and is obscured. This means that if you are typing something in the 'note' section, you cannot see what you are typing. Also, the 'Done' button can no longer be accessed when you are finished.
    NOTE: When you leave the Event, then come back to edit it again, the window often moves up, eliminating the cut-off problem, but this does not always happen.
    Here are the two problems that need to be fixed in order for the user to be able to view what is being typed, and to access the 'Done' button when finished:
    1) The Event Description window (at the top of the Event) currently will stop moving the bottom down after typing 4 lines, and then begins to scroll upward, in order to save space. However, at this point, the 'Done' button has already disappeared below the screen. This needs to changed so that the 'Done' button never goes below the bottom edge of the screen.
    2) When typing in the 'note' window of the Event, a vertical bar eventually appears on the right, but only after the bottom lines of text have disappeared below the screen. The data ABOVE the note window begins to scroll up, but the bottom area of the note remains obscured, so users cannot see what they are typing. Moving the bar up and down still does not let users see what they are typing below the screen. The 'note' window needs to be changed to scroll like the Event Description window does, and not have the 'Done' button go below the bottom edge of the screen.
    NOTE: A similar problem happens in Day View and Week View, when listed Events start going below the bottom edge of the screen. They do not scroll either, and everything past a certain point cannot be viewed. Scrolling would solve this problem as well. In the absence of scrolling, the only way around that problem currently, is to cut Events from that day and paste them into another day. Then you can see the rest of the Events.
    So, anyone else out there notice these problems or have an explanation for them?

  • The white line over the text in a title

    how can I enlarge the white line over the text in a title to not have the text out of the frame when I want to add another line?

    If you are speaking of the white bar upon which you are entering text in say a 'gradient edge' title, click title in the inspector window having the title selected. There you can change the width of the horizontal bar:
    In the screenshot above I have used gradient edge title. The bar is of black color and you can change the color to white or any other color by tinkering with the controls in the inspector window [red oval]; you can also increase or decrease with the bar's width by changing its parameters within the 'yellow rectangle'; and, if you so need, you can push up or push down the bar by manipulating the bar vertical position tool located below the yellow rectangle.
    Hope this helps. If the white line you have mentioned above is something other than the bar I have referred to, then let me know. Cheers. Have a great day.

  • Hello need vertical  lines in the script

    Dear ABAP GURUS,
         I need to draw verticle lines in the script as a tabel, i have drawn the horizontal lines. I heard that there is the the function module to draw the verticle lines but how is that possible to use in the script. Plwase help me out in drawing the vericle lines, i Have tried using the vline but no use.

    Hi Soni,
      Its very easy to draw the vertical lines in a script.  Use BOX statement to draw the same.  Check out the syntax for BOX statement.  Give the 'Y' coordinate only and do not mention 'X' coordinate.  So that the box will appear as a vertical line.  Check it.
    Boxes, Lines, Shading: BOX, POSITION, SIZE
    The BOX, POSITION and SIZE commands for drawing boxes, lines and shadowing can be used for specifying that within a layout set particular windows or passages of text within a window are to be output in a frame or with shadowing.
    The SAP printer drivers that are based on page-oriented printers (the HP LaserJet driver HPL2, the Postscript driver POST, the Kyocera Prescribe driver PRES) employ these commands when outputting. Line printers and page-oriented printers not supported in the standard ignore these commands. The resulting printer output may be viewed in the SAPscript print previewer.
    Syntax:
    1. /: BOX [XPOS] [YPOS] [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [FRAME] [INTENSITY]
    2. /: POSITION [XORIGIN] [YORIGIN] [WINDOW] [PAGE]
    3. /: SIZE [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [WINDOW] [PAGE]
    BOX Command
    Syntax
    /: BOX [XPOS] [YPOS] [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [FRAME] [INTENSITY]
    Effect: draws a box of the specified size at the specified position.
    Parameters: For each of XPOS, YPOS, WIDTH, HEIGHT and FRAME both a measurement and a unit of measurement must be specified. The INTENSITY parameter should be specified as a percentage between 0 and 100.
    1. XPOS, YPOS: Upper left corner of the box, relative to the values of the POSITION command.
    Default: Values specified in the POSITION command.
    The following calculation is performed internally to determine the absolute output position of a box on the page:
    X(abs) = XORIGIN + XPOS
    Y(abs) = YORIGIN + YPOS
    2. WIDTH: Width of the box. Default: WIDTH value of the SIZE command.
    3. HEIGHT: Height of the box. Default: HEIGHT value of the SIZE command.
    4. FRAME: Thickness of frame.
    Default: 0 (no frame).
    5. INTENSITY: Grayscale of box contents as % .
    Default: 100 (full black)
    Measurements: Decimal numbers must be specified as literal values (like ABAP numeric constants) by being enclosed in inverted commas. The period should be used as the decimal point character. See also the examples listed below.
    Units of measurement: The following units of measurement may be used:
    • TW (twip)
    • PT (point)
    • IN (inch)
    • MM (millimeter)
    • CM (centimeter)
    • LN (line)
    • CH (character).
    The following conversion factors apply:
    • 1 TW = 1/20 PT
    • 1 PT = 1/72 IN
    • 1 IN = 2.54 CM
    • 1 CM = 10 MM
    • 1 CH = height of a character relative to the CPI specification in the layout set header
    • 1 LN = height of a line relative to the LPI specification in the layout set header
    /: BOX FRAME 10 TW
    Draws a frame around the current window with a frame thickness of 10 TW (= 0.5 PT).
    /: BOX INTENSITY 10
    Fills the window background with shadowing having a gray scale of 10 %.
    /: BOX HEIGHT 0 TW FRAME 10 TW
    Draws a horizontal line across the complete top edge of the window.
    /: BOX WIDTH 0 TW FRAME 10 TW
    Draws a vertical line along the complete height of the left hand edge of the window.
    /: BOX WIDTH '17.5' CM HEIGHT 1 CM FRAME 10 TW INTENSITY 15
    /: BOX WIDTH '17.5' CM HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW
    /: BOX XPOS '10.0' CM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW
    /: BOX XPOS '13.5' CM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW
    Draws two rectangles and two lines to construct a table of three columns with a highlighted heading section.
    POSITION Command
    Syntax
    /: POSITION [XORIGIN] [YORIGIN] [WINDOW] [PAGE]
    Effect: Sets the origin for the coordinate system used by the XPOS and YPOS parameters of the BOX command. When a window is first started the POSITION value is set to refer to the upper left corner of the window (default setting).
    Parameters: If a parameter value does not have a leading sign, then its value is interpreted as an absolute value, in other words as a value which specifies an offset from the upper left corner of the output page. If a parameter value is specified with a leading sign, then the new value of the parameter is calculated relative to the old value. If one of the parameter specifications is missing, then no change is made to this parameter.
    1. XORIGIN, YORIGIN: Origin of the coordinate system.
    2. WINDOW: Sets the values for the left and upper edges to be the same of those of the current window (default setting).
    3. PAGE: Sets the values for the left and upper edges to be the same of those of the current output page (XORIGIN = 0 cm, YORIGIN = 0 cm).
    /: POSITION WINDOW
    Sets the origin for the coordinate system to the upper left corner of the window.
    /: POSITION XORIGIN 2 CM YORIGIN '2.5 CM'
    Sets the origin for the coordinate system to a point 2 cm from the left edge and 2.5 cm from the upper edge of the output page.
    /: POSITION XORIGIN '-1.5' CM YORIGIN -1 CM
    Shifts the origin for the coordinates 1.5 cm to the left and 1 cm up.
    SIZE Command
    Syntax
    /: SIZE [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [WINDOW] [PAGE]
    Effect: Sets the values of the WIDTH and HEIGHT parameters used in the BOX command. When a window is first started the SIZE value is set to the same values as the window itself (default setting).
    Parameters: If one of the parameter specifications is missing, then no change is made to the current value of this parameter. If a parameter value does not have a leading sign, then its value is interpreted as an absolute value. If a parameter value is specified with a leading sign, then the new value of the parameter is calculated relative to the old value.
    1. WIDTH, HEIGHT: Dimensions of the rectangle or line.
    2. WINDOW: Sets the values for the width and height to the values of the current window (default setting).
    3. PAGE: Sets the values for the width and height to the values of the current output page.
    /: SIZE WINDOW
    Sets WIDTH and HEIGHT to the current window dimensions.
    /: SIZE WIDTH '3.5' CM HEIGHT '7.6' CM
    Sets WIDTH to 3.5 cm and HEIGHT to 7.6 cm.
    /: POSITION WINDOW
    /: POSITION XORIGIN -20 TW YORIGIN -20 TW
    /: SIZE WIDTH +40 TW HEIGHT +40 TW
    /: BOX FRAME 10 TW
    A frame is added to the current window. The edges of the frame extend beyond the edges of the window itself, so as to avoid obscuring the leading and trailing text characters.
    Thanks & regards
