Illustrator Cursor Bug

Hi, anyone from adobe available?
When using Illustrator my cursor often gets stuck on the hand tool which makes it impossible to use the program for obvious reasons. Yes I restart the program (sometimes I even have to restart my computer) and the problem is fixed. But ofcourse it reoccurs at random times. Please fix it. Illustrator is a faulty product while ever it remains.
Thanks a bunch : )

d,
There may be a number of causes.
The following is a general list of things to try. Obviously, you have been through 1) and 2) already. Item 7) in 5) may be the most likely.
You may try the following (you may have tried/done some of them already) and see whether it helps (the following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file; 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences):
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy); Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6, and reinstall.

Cursor bug in PS, AI and FL

I'm noticing a bug across Photoshop, Illustrator and Flash. I'm on a Mac Pro quad-core 2.8 Ghz with 4 GB of RAM. I'll be in one of these three apps for a while, and suddenly the cursor turns into an approx. 4 mm open circle which functions as a temporary eraser for whatever is on the screen. All other program functions stop. Restarting the app does not solve the issue. Restarting the machine does solve the issue. I've restarted three times today. I'm wondering if there is a fix out there for this issue. Thanks in advance for the help.
--jody radzik.

Hi! Same bug here! All of the sudden while I'm working with AI CS6 the cursor -or whatever is the tool in use- it just switches to the eraser tool. Sometimes I'm able to switch again to some other tool by performing some random mouse gestures and clicking everywhere, but I'm pretty often pushed to restart the application in order to take the reins again.
What to do? Anyone? Something different to reinstalling the whole suite? Thanks in advance.-

Illustrator cursor / screen pixelation

hi there people
two things that are bugging the hell out of me
if anyone knows the answer it would be greatfully received
1. the cursor for the pen tool is a cross, it used to be a pen. the pen icon shows but only when the caps lock is on.
i know this is wrong and as wondering what i can do to change it / toggle it back.
2. The screen resolution is pixelating. Ithought this was a font problem, and it is kind of. But today ive noticed that more
things when i go over 100% start to pixelate. again this is wrong as you should be able to scale up eps's with clear
vision.
can someone help me as its really messing with my head
thanks
G
ps. example of path pixelation attached, i cant screen grab the cursor for obviously reasons but its showing
up as a small thin diagonal cross.

well i got one thing sorted the path cursor.
i tried the anti-aliasing in prefs but nothing
in actual fact it got worst when i toggled it on.
im still not getting a true visual for the anti aliasing.
i am running a legal copy (of course) and i just re-installed
illustrator CS3 (mac based btw)
but im stuck with very very bad working space due to this
problemo
anythign more to try?

Did you install Version Cue when you installed? I've read where Version Cue will cause all kinds of problems when running on an Intel Mac. May not be the cause but it's worth checking out.

CS5.5 TLF cursor bug in RTL edit mode

Hello,
It seems there is a bug in TLF text in CS5.5 in "editable" mode.
to reproduce:
1.put a TLF on stage and set it to "editable".
2. Set in 'Paragrph' section to 'Right To Left'.
It remainsleft to right.
3. set in 'Container and flow' to 'Right To Left' it does change direction, but if you try to put a cursor you can't.
The only way to put a cursor is on the right of the TLF.
Ideas anyone ?

I have problem with this issue too. and it has started with flash cs5.5. in flash cs5 TLFs work fine.
It is not a solution, but by chance I have found when the MultiLine property of TLF is changed to single line textfield works fine. again I confirm the bug and wish the team make a update for that.

GVim 7.2.368-3 cursor bug

Hi all. After I upgraded to the latest version of Vim a couple of days ago, I started experiencing what looks like gVim cursor redraw bug. When I move the cursor in gVim, it obstructs the letter it is on:
I do not experience this in plain Vim. There are things that can make the cursor exhibit normal behavior, such as 1) me pressing Esc key 2) Awesome WM clock updating 3) scrot taking a screenshot (I had to Gimp the screenshot above because the cursor goes back to normal the moment a screenshot is taken).
Vim and Xorg packages were upgraded during my last update, but Awesome WM was not.
Is anybody else experiencing this? How should I go about finding the culprit?

I am getting the same bug here. However, it only seems to occur when I use bitmap fonts like Dina or Terminus. Using a TrueType font like Courier New or Nimbus Mono works perfectly. Confused
This seems to be a bug specific to the intel driver for X11. When I reboot the machine and switch to my discrete ATI graphics card (my laptop has dual integrated/discrete graphics cards) the problem disappears completely. Also forwarding Vim through SSH from this laptop to other computers works as well. Could you confirm this? What X11 video driver are you using?
Thank you for pointing this out. I have changed the font and now the cursor works again. Hope this bug will be fixed soon. I am missing my dina fonts.

Illustrator CS4 bug?

I don't know if this is a bug or what but I find it quite annoying: Illustrator CS4 sometimes slightly (1 or 2 'millipixels') changes the size or location of my artwork without any reason. Examples:
- I save using the .ai format. When I open that file later, the artwork is not centered anymore. Instead of being centered at 512x512 (I often use a 1024x1024 artboard), it is like 511.999x512.
- I move an object. Same problem, its size has slightly changed.
- Just happened, that's why I'm posting this: I have a 176.724x176.724 px object selected. I'm resizing it to 510 px using the bar at the top, with 'constrain proportions' enabled (the little chain symbol). So after resizing it should be 510x510, no? Well, no... it is 510x509.999 (or 509.998 I can't remember).
Am I doing something wrong or is it just a bug?
[edit: I forgot another thing that might be related: cutting and pasting an object doesn't center it to the artboard. It's close, but not at the center.]

Not sure what's going on with the first part of your question--the units in AI.
But as far as copy/paste or cut/paste is concerned AI never centered a pasted object on the page, even before multiple artboards were introduced in CS4. The thing that it could do was "paste in place" which would put the pasted object directly on top of the original area that it was copied or cut from.

Illustrator CS3 - Bug? Export to JPG has white line on outline of image

When using the export (under file) in Illustrator CS3 to save the image to a .jpg file I save it as a RGB (was created initially as CMYK) using quality of medium, method = baseline (standard), depth = screen and anti-alias checked. I tried a number of variations from these standards. THis is what was used on the image you can see at http://www.punchitupnow.com. You will see that a white border (even though made sure to use yellow border color) is present, especially on the bottom of the image (look closely as the image include yellow, which blends with the page color). I you use the file > save for web option you get a preview that shows the white border on the bottom of the image. Any ideas why this is showing? Is it a bug?
Thank you.

Eileen:
Jacob is saying you should use a crop area.
You should also consider setting the Matte (in Save for Web) to match the background-color of your page.
Also, you really should work in RGB from the get-go to design anything for the web at all... There are lots of colors in CMYK that don't exist in the RGB gamut and vice-versa.
I'd suggest using a smaller image or just some text on your page while it's under construction, or maybe a combination. The way it's set up now, it's kind of annoying to have to wait and look at that horrid yellow while waiting for an image to load only to find it won't do anything for you.

Photoshop CS4 brush cursor bug on Thinkpad T61p

I've got a Thinkpad T61p with a Nvidia Quadro FX 570M onboard (driver version: 6.14.11.7471). There seems to be a bug with the graphics driver in conjunction with the new Adobe Photoshop CS4. Photoshop now uses GPU-optimization with more brush capabilities. Unfortunately the cursor clips when using brush-sizes larger than 64px. One can see the bug on the nvidia cs4 promotion "brush resizing" at http://www.nvidia.com/object/adobe_photoshop.html. Nvidia corrects this bug in newer driver versions, but lenovo only offers a WinXP-display-driver from 2008-04-28.
Does anyone know any workround? I've tested somo older forceware drivers (178.24) with partial success. The display bug in Photoshop is fixed, but e.g. After Effects CS4 crashes while detecting the GPU.
Message Edited by mikey on 10-23-2008 03:20 AM

Today I've installed the latest Forceware Drivers 180.60 from http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/ to test the bug behaviour.
The brush cursor now seems to be able to handle big brush sizes but the performance is reduced noticable.When painting inside a new document the rendering of the brush path is done after painting over the area, even when using small brush sizes.
So let's wait until Nvidia/Lenovo roll out a new driver.

Illustrator Cursors

Group,
I went in to Illustrator CS4 today to do some work and for some reason my brush, eraser, pencil, etc. cursors are not displaying correctly. For example when I select a brush normally I get a circle (as the brush size) for my cursor. Now I am getting a little icon of an actual paintbrush with a little x to the right of it. This makes it so I have no idea what size my brush looks like until I paint something.... not sure what key combination I accidently pressed, but this is extremely frustrating. I don't see any settings to change it back.
Does anyone know how I can get it back to display the actual brush as the cursor?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

You can change the cursor with the caps lock key. But maybe you're just using a different brush. The blob brush normally shows that size-indicator-symbol, the "normal" brush shows that brush+cross-symbol.

CS4 frustrating cursor bug

I have a problem with my cursor in Illustrator that is fast becoming a real problem!
After using Illustrator for awhile I go to select another tool ie. using a Type Tool changing it to a Pen Tool but the cursor stays on the one tool and nothing will get it to change. Currently I have the Pen Tool with a diagonal line through it thereby preventing me from selecting anything else or do anything. I tried closing illustrator and re-opening and that did not work. I solved it once by restarting my computer but the second time it did nothing to solve the problem. Please help!
I hope my description is clear and that someone has a solution! Thanks.

I think I may have found a solution. I have two layers in my composition and both layers were locked. Once I unlocked a layer I was able to select different tools. Boy do I feel silly!

Cursor bug (cursor work but looks like frozen beach ball)

I'm running 10.6.2 on a 3ghz core duo imac. I have two accounts on the machine and it's only happening on one side. The cursor will not change back to a normal arrow until i launch an application like firefox. I repaired the disc and permissions. didn't make a difference. Any clue what this could be? should i delete some prefs/plists?

Is this bug system-wide or do you only notice it in the Finder?

Lion Cursor Bug

Does anyone else have the bug in Lion where the cursor will sometimes shoot to a corner of the screen? I'm using a Magic Mouse with my Macbook Pro and from what I've seen it will sometimes happen when the mouse is moving from one window to another one and then it will just go all the way across the screen to the edge in the direction I was moving the cursor.

I'm having this problem with a 27'' imac and magic mouse. I think it is a design feature gone wrong.
The idea is that you move the mouse fast to 'jump' in a particular direction in order to make navigating larger screens easy. However, the problem is that it seems to be working in overdrive and jumping in random directions when you don't want it to.
It really is a major problem on my machine.

[SOLVED] Emacs + rxvt-unicode Cursor Bug

When running emacs inside of a rxvt-unicode terminal, pressing the spacebar advances the cursor as it should, but sometimes it does not erase the cursor from it's previous position. Entering a third character will finally make this superfluous cursor disappear.
I have found references to similar issues in an Ubuntu bug report and a livejournal post, both of which date back to 2008. I am not sure if these issues are directly related or just similar in appearance. I seem to recall having similar issues with the cursor under emacs around three years ago when I was running Ubuntu and gnome-terminal.
Has anyone else noticed this? It's quite distracting when I'm typing in emacs and I've finally become annoyed enough to get this ball rolling.
Duplicating the Bug
Open a rxvt-unicode terminal and launch emacs with the following comand:
emacs -nw
Create a new emacs buffer named "foo".
Switch the buffer "foo" to "text-mode".
Turn on the "visual-line-mode" minor mode.
Type the following into the emacs buffer, replacing <space> with the actual whitespace (i.e. spacebar) character:
1234<space>1234<space>1234<space>
The third space will advance the cursor but not erase the cursor from its previous position, making it look twice as wide. Entering a third character will advance the cursor once more, and things will look normal again.
Failed Workarounds
In my attempt to understand the problem, I have tried a few things which don't seem to help.
Setting the TERM environment variable to various values including "linux", "screen", "vt100", "vt102", etc.
Turning cursor blinking on and off in the rxvt-unicode configuration.
Successful Workarounds
I have discovered a few workarounds, which may give some clues as to the root of the problem.
If I use rxvt-unicode to launch an instance of Gnu Screen and run emacs inside of that, the problem disappears.
If I run emacs emacs inside of an xterm instead of rxvt-unicode the problem disappears.
If I set column-number-mode in emacs as suggested by the aforementioned livejournal post, the problem will also disappear.

I spoke with someone familiar with rxvt-unicode and got some answers. It seems that this is likely related to tab characters being output instead of spaces which may be an emacs optimization of some sort. Turning on the +ptab switch when invoking rxvt-unicode seems to elimnate the issue. A log of my discussion follows for anyone curious.
< __OoO__ > battlp: emacs outputs a tab character
< __OoO__ > battlp: which is "wide"
< __OoO__ > battlp: so you don't see an extra cursor, just the cursor
itself is wider
< __OoO__ > battlp: you can probably work around this emacs issue by
using "+ptab" when strating urxvt
< battlp > __OoO__: interesting. Is this "wide" cursor a unique
feature of urxvt? I've tested all the other terms I can
think of and haven't seen the same thing.
< __OoO__ > any temrinal has this
< __OoO__ > but only urxvt can store tabs
< __OoO__ > thats mostly useful when you want to paste text and want
tabs intact
< __OoO__ > because other terminals always convert tabs to whitespace
< __OoO__ > sorry, spaces
< battlp > Not your domain, I know, but any clue why emacs would be
spitting a tab in this plain "text" mode. It seems
bizarre.
< __OoO__ > tab is both a tab character as you are used to
< __OoO__ > as well as a cursor movement
< __OoO__ > for emacs, it's probably an optimization
< __OoO__ > 9000 cpu cycles wasted to avoid an extra space going over
your serial line
< __OoO__ > on second thought, its pretty bizarre, because thereis
only one space
< __OoO__ > but then, can happen if your screen engine it too
intelligent
< battlp > I also can't predict which spaces will do this. Running
emacs inside of screen eliminates the issue, to, which I
also don't understand.
< __OoO__ > likely, screen's engine isn't so cool and uses plain old
spaces or cursor movements
< __OoO__ > which spaces - probably the ones falling directly before a
tab boundary, i.e. at 7th, 15th etc.
< __OoO__ > column
< battlp > That sounds like it might be the spots where I'm seeing it.
Turning on emacs' column-number-mode Make it disappear for
the most part, except when backspacing.
< __OoO__ > so will +ptab, which tells urxvt to treat tab as a cursor
movement only
< battlp > Just tried to measure it with ruler-mode and of course that
makes it disappear as well.
< battlp > Yep, +ptab makes it go away.

Scrollable cursor bug?

Hello,
When I first start my application from jdeveloper, I get this exception... Only once: when I do a "refresh", the application works normally and never gives the problem until the next server restart...

Here is the code that seems to cause the problem:
ReadAllQuery readQuery = new ReadAllQuery(modelClass);
List<ModelObject> toplinkResults = new ArrayList<ModelObject>();
int chunkSize = 50;
int index = 0;
if (search != null) {
readQuery.setSelectionCriteria(search.getExpression());
chunkSize = search.getPageSize();
index = search.getIndex();
readQuery.useScrollableCursor(chunkSize);
// lecture
ScrollableCursor cursor = (ScrollableCursor)ToplinkFactory.getSession().executeQuery(readQuery);
if (cursor == null) {
throw new Exception("No cursor!");
if (index > 0) {
cursor.absolute(index);
int size = cursor.size();
int displaySize = chunkSize;
// ajuster si page de données n'a pas sa taile max
if (index + displaySize > size) {
displaySize = size - index;
for (int i=0; i < displaySize; i++) {
if (!cursor.hasNext()) {
throw new Exception("Cursor doesn't seem to work properly!");
toplinkResults.add((ModelObject)cursor.next());
I traced the problem to this line:
if (!cursor.hasNext()) {
It looks like a bug to me... Am I doing something wrong, or is it Toplink, or even jdbc???

Ok, it seems to be only there when I run my
application in debug mode in Jdeveloper... When
running it regularly, it works correctly. Is it a
jdev/oc4j bug, or is it a toplink bug which is
triggered in some rare situation, or is it something
else?Thats what you will have to debug further. :-)
When you wrote "running it regularly" did you mean running it through JUnit?
It could be the way you package/load classes in your JDeveloper environment. In order to eliminate the possibility of Toplink causing the bug you could write an identical test case in the app server except you can use JDBC ResultSet.
