I unchecked "Check spelling as you type" but Firefox still underlines words in cut-and-pasted text in some web apps. How can I stop it from doing this?

I'm using an online web mapping application that has input boxes for descriptive text and stuff like that. Sometimes I copy blocks of text from a word processing app into these input boxes because I can format the text in the wp. When I paste the text blocks, Firefox does the wiggly red underline on words it doesn't know. I've already turned off "check spelling as you type" but this doesn't make a difference. I don't want Firefox to check spelling on these text blocks that I copy and paste. Sometimes I need to capture screen images of these text blocks in the mapping application and I want them to look clean. Thanks.

Does "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu has a tick when this happens?
You can consider to disable the spell check underline by setting the ui.SpellCheckerUnderlineStyle pref to 0 (zero) on the <b>about:config</b> page.

  • Youtube won't let me type in comment box below video, and keeps affecting the video when I hit keys. why and how can I stop it from doing that?

    It seems whenever I use YouTube with Firefox, the YouTube video will only ever let me interact with it unless I go full screen then hit escape. if i don't, I can't type in the text box below the video. even stranger, if I go to a new tab and try to enter something into, say, Google, I can still pause and un-pause the you tube video, even in the other tab, just by trying to type in a text box. Why is this happened, and how can I make it stop? it is starting to get very disruptive.

    Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox 14 are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.
    In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:

  • Iphone screen broke. Doesn't even light up. changed phone, but i still get iMessages on iphone and not on my new phone. How can i deactivate totally my iphone to receive the old iMessages on my blackberry?

    High people! My iphone screen recently broke, and it doesn't even light up. The whole thing still works, so i get vibrations, calls ecc.. i changed to a blackberry, but now i don't get texts from people that wrote to me with imessage, because imessages still go to my iphone. What can i do?

    Deactivate iMessage:  http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5185
    FYI, starting a new conversation thread has never forced iMessage off... it simply does not work.
    If your new iPhone has iMessage activated and is using the same phone number as the old iPhone, iMessages should be going to the new phone.

  • Check spelling as you type + pasted text.

    With the "Check spelling as you type" enabled, if you were to copy some text from another window / application and paste into a "new message" window, the spell checker does not check it.
    Originally this was not a problem as pressing "Command + ;" (semi-colon) would search forward for the errors - but this does not seem to work in Mail v2.
    The only solution I have found so far is to press "Alt + Right Arrow" to move between the words.
    Regards,
    Craig
    PS: Yes I know about the spell checker window... but I cant get along with it (don't know why).

    Look at this a little more, it seems that the
    Edit > Spelling > Check Spelling
    menu item is disabled... I presume this needs to be enabled for it to work like it used to (skip to the next word which is incorrectly spelt)

    How can I STOP iTunes from automatically trying to add podcasts to my iPod when I plug it in and sync it, so I can manage the files? I have already unchecked "Sync Podcasts" and "Automatically include,"yet EVERY time I sync it,it still transfers podcasts as the last step, and at other times randomly, when trying to just add some MP3's to a playlist, for example.  I can't seem to find any other option to uncheck, and can't find an answer from my so-far internet searching.

    erict, you blew me away with that suggestion! It was something so simple I couldnt believe I hadnt thought of it! But in the end it didn't work, which I was really surprised about. On Windows anytime anything was moved itunes was hoplessly lost, but on this mac it still kept up with everything. I tried renaming folders, moving folders, and even renaming moved folders but it still kept trying to import.
    I even went as far as deleting EVERYTHING i had moved to the Mac, which didnt really work. It still kept trying to import what wasnt there which made it continue to freeze up. However, after doing this it, the freezing was not nearly as bad. It gave me enough of a break to cancel it through the itunes dialog box at the top of the app. So in the end, thats all I really needed to do, only before I had deleted everything the freezing would not allow me to do it.
    So now Im reimporting everything again, only slowly, and only a few Artists at a time.

  • How do you cut and paste text from Adobe Reader 11 into Word?

    Using Windows 8.1.  Recently purchased Adobe Reader 11.  Need to cut and paste text from PDF into Word docs.  Docs are not locked and content should be available for editing.  Have figured out how to highlight the text through the Comment tools, but nothing (right-clicking, going to Edit pulldown) menu gives me a Copy option.  How do I cut and paste the text?

    Good to know that I got what I paid for with the Export PDF.I just went
    into the document that I am trying to cut and paste from and highlighted a
    piece of text.  Clicked right, checked the Edit pulldown, and then did
    Ctrl+C (assuming you meant Ctrl and then C, rather than holding them both
    down together).  Still no Copy option anywhere.
    Properties for the document I am trying to work with do say "Content
    Copying: Allowed" under Security. Since I can highlight text, I assumed
    that the text is there (not a photo scan) so that I can copy it.  Should I
    look somewhere else under properties to confirm this?
    As I did last night, I also opened up a document that I have cut and pasted
    extensively from before-so I know the text is there and manipulable.
    Attempted to cut and paste from it, using the same methods above.  Again,
    no option to copy with any of them.
    Perhaps I should clarify that by cut-and-paste, I do mean that I want to
    copy the text from the original and then transfer it to a Word doc that I
    am writing.  I am not trying to do anything with the original other than
    copy from it--not cutting anything out of the document itself.
    Is there a way to do this with the Adobe 11 reader.  At this point, I am
    wondering if I need to uninstall Adobe 11 and try to go back to Adobe 10 or
    whatever the reader was that was installed on my computer when I bought it
    (Dell Inspiron touch-screen laptop purchased in May 2013, if that gives any
    idea of which reader might have been installed there.  That version did,
    however, have some other limitations that made me want to get Adobe 11. Any
    ideas about what to do now.

  • I've been deleting the info in the "Sort..." fields, but when I plug my iPod into my computer iTunes repopulates the fields I deleted.  How do I stop it from doing that?

    I've been deleting information I don't want in the "Sort..." fields (like getting rid of "Deluxe Edition" markers, etc.), but when I plug my iPod into my computer iTunes repopulates the fields I deleted.  This only happens for a few artists, and it's the same artists every time this happens.  How do I stop it from doing that?  It makes it measurably harder for me to control the organization of my library.

  • When converting word to PDF and reducing the size, the formatting changes how can i keep the format but reduce the size?

    When converting word to PDF and reducing the size, the formatting changes how can i keep the format but reduce the size?

    The original file is 32 MB:
    15 MB is images
    15 MB is Content stream
    2 MB is everything else
    After the PDF/A-1B save as:
    The file is 182 MB
    Almost 100% is Images
    It is an architecture portfolio with many complex images.  Is there a setting when I change to PDF/A that can limit the growth of the image files?

  • SQL query works in the SQLPlus, but fires parse error after being cut and pasted into

    One of our client has a SQL query like this:
    SQL> SELECT LNAME,
    2 QUOTA/12,
    3 (SELECT SUM(CAMT) FROM CONSULTING WHERE CONSULTANT = P.EMPLOYEE
    4 AND ACTIVITYCODE = 'C'AND
    5 CDATE BETWEEN '01-JAN-2001' AND '31-JAN-2001') AS SUM,
    6 (SELECT SUM(CAMT) FROM CONSULTING WHERE CONSULTANT = P.EMPLOYEE
    7 AND ACTIVITYCODE = 'C'AND
    8 CDATE BETWEEN '01-JAN-2001' AND '31-JAN-2001') -
    QUOTA/12 AS PL
    9 FROM PERSONNEL P
    10 ORDER BY LNAME;
    Running the above query in the SQLPlus returns appropriate resultsets to the
    user. After the same SQL being cut and pasted into a portal report
    component, running the report component fires the following error:
    Failed to parse query
    Error:ORA-00911: invalid character (WWV-11230)
    Failed to parse as XXX - SELECT LNAME, QUOTA/12, (SELECT SUM(CAMT) FROM

    BETWEEN '01-JAN-2001' AND '31-JAN-2001') - QUOTA/12 AS PL FROM PERSONNEL P
    ORDER BY LNAME; (WWV-08300)
    Cursor is not open
    Is this because of the multi-table queries, or something else? Is there any
    way around this? Any information regarding this will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Sunny,
    From the error message that you posted it seems that you are putting a semicolon ";" at the end of your query. I checked the query that you have posted. It is working fine for me. (I am using 3.0.8) but I feel it will work in your version also. I tried the query without a ";" at the end --It worked.
    I tried with ";" at the end -- It gave the error that you have posted. So remove the ";" at the end and it should work. If you are still getting the same error then pls write down the version you are using. I will check in that version.
    Thanx,
    Chetan.

  • The app notification keep popping up when I am another app, how can I stop it. I downloaded it but it still pop up.  It's very annoying...

    The app notification keep popping up even after downloading, how can I stop it?  Thanks

    go to Settings > Notification Center > scroll down to the app that is causing the problem > Alert Style and touch the word None under the left-most image of an iPad.  An oval will appear around the word to indicate that this is what you have selected

  • When not on Firefox and go to do it, why am I constantly getting: "Firefox is already running but not responding. To open a new window you must close the existing Firefox process, or restart your computer." Moreover, HOW CAN I STOP IT FROM HAPPENNING???

    Every time I have to re-start my computer I need to stop my work. It would sure be nice if you can tell me how to keep this from occurring.
    Thank you.

    Sounds like Firefox isn't closing down completely when you exit it. <br />

  • Everytime I start T'bird, I have to type in my password on each address I use. How can I stop having to do this?

    I can't seem to store my password. Each time I open Thunderbird, I must type in my password on each email address and when sending email. Aside from that, I'm getting hundreds of spam emails each day.

    duggabe, thank you for your suggestion. However, I have done this many times (checked remember my pw) but it doesn't help. As for spam, I didn't give out my email per se, my account with Host Monster was accessed and from that day forward I received over 200 spam emails per day. They provided a Spam Panel Report which has proved useless to my problem. I appreciate the reply.
