KDE cannot click inside windows

After a big upgrade (qt5, kde 4.10, etc) I cannot click with the mouse buttons inside windows. This will happens also from a remote terminal with vnc.
1) I can click with left mouse button on kde desktop and the bottom bar.
2) I can click on gtk apps windows.
3) I cannot click on all kde apps (I guess all qt apps).
4) When the mouse hover on the window I have a double arrow and if I click with the left button it will only resize the window.
Is this a qt problem?
Before the system was working fine.
I have already tried to rename .kde to .kde4.back but the problem persists.
I am using the last xorg and xorg nouveau driver.
Some suggestions?

I've just found this problem as well.
The problem was reported at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=320459
It seems a workaround is to edit
~/.kde4/share/config/oxygenrc
and add lines
[Windeco]
UseExtendedWindowBorders=false
Hope that helps.

When clicking on links that open in a new window, the links don't open and Firefox freezes in a way. I can navigate the page I am on but cannot click to open a new tab or bookmark.

When navigating the internet, if I come across a web page that has a link to open a picture or program in a new window, if I click on it, it does not open. Firefox immediately looses functionality in that I cannot open a new tab with the mouse wheel, right click to open a new tab, or use my bookmarks in either the drop down or toolbar to navigate away. I can usually still navigate the page that I am on, for example, (https://loanconsolidation.ed.gov/AppEntry/apply-online/appindex.jsp), when it freezes I cannot click on any of the content at the center of the page but I can still use the links from the list on the far left. For an example of the pictures, (http://www.insect-sale.com/), if you click on "New Arrivals" at the top of the page it takes you to a list of products that can only be viewed by clicking on them. Usually a picture of the item would open in a small window but it does not and Firefox freezes. This has also happen when I try a view a degree audit on a school's website where a program would usually open in a new window. The only thing I have been able to find that still functions properly when this happens is the home page button. I can click on it or use the wheel to open it in a tab just fine, but if I try and go anywhere else I cannot. The only way I can get Firefox back to normal is to use the Task Manager and end the process. Another thing I have noticed, that may or may not be related; is that my Norton Internet Security toolbar, that should show up below the bookmarks toolbar and above the tabs, only shows up about 1 out of every 10 times I open Firefox. Some days it doesn't show up at all. If it does show up and I log into Identity Safe, the autofill for the programed website works, even if the toolbar doesn't show up the next time I open Firefox.

Go to Tools->Options->Apps
Here you should see two columns: Content Type on the left, Actions on the right.
Find and select excel spreadsheet or any other content type in the left column. There should be a corresponding action in the right column. What is it? You can use the drop-down list to select the option you want:
Always Ask - Firefox will ask each time: What do you want to do with this file?
Save file - Firefox will save this file to your computer
Use - Firefox will give this file to the program to open it
In case of saving, Firefox will either prompt you every time where you want the file to be saved, or save it to the default location. It depends on the preference in

Hyper V Cannot be installed as Hypervisor is already running inside windows 8.1 ( which is a VM inside a windows 8 hyper v manager)

Hi,
Although it is not concerned with windows server. Please help with this issue.
I Installed windows 8.1 OS inside Windows 8 using hyper V manager.
Then i installed visual studio 2013 update and i tried to run windows phone 8.1 emulator.
It said, one of the hyper v components is not working correctly. So, i disabled and enabled hyper v features using "Turn of windows features on or off" settings.
But this time "Hyper V platform feature was installed"
When i hover my mouse over that it said "Hyper V cannot be installed: hypervisor is already running"
Please help me.

Windows phone emulators are virtual machines. So if you installed visual studio to the virtual machine nothing can be done. Hyper-v cant be run inside of virtual machine.

I cannot click on any links from any website if it is at the top of the browser window,all other links I can click on.Any suggestions? Already unistalled & reinstalled.

All links at the top of web pages I cannot click,even side scroll bar does not move until down a quarter of the page.I do not have this problem with IE.

The Yahoo! Toolbar extension and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause this issue. Disable or uninstall those add-ons.

Error in xfce4-settings-manager When Click on Window Manager

Hello all,
I have a problem with the xfce4 environment.
First, I can't see any panel by default.
Second, the settings button near the shutdown button does not work.
Finally and more importantly, when I call from the terminal settings from terminal, settings start fine, but when I click on Window Manager or Window Manager Tweaks I get:
[jav@localhost ~]$ xfce4-settings-manager
These settings cannot work with your current window manager (GNOME Shell)
I already tried deleting sessions as mentioned in Arch wiki and also called startxfce4 again.
Any ideas?

startxfce4 should be used to start xfce4-session. It can be run from the virtual terminal(the screen-filling terminal you see when you boot up a (fresh) machine) directly or can be called in your .xinitrc. Instead of
exec xfce4-session
you should have
exec startxfce4
in your .xinitrc.
It looks like you're running startxfce4 from an X session(probably Gnome). Xfce is a replacement for Gnome, it's not run inside of Gnome or any other window manager or desktop environment(well, some parts can, like the panel). What's in your .xinitrc, especially at the exec line? Note that there should be only one exec line.

Data is not being displayed into DataGridview until Clicked inside the cells

Hi,
On a windows form, I have a DataGridView, its columns are auto-generated every time. Data is loaded after the user click a data-load button. However this is NOT working well, the data is not displayed until manually clicked inside the grid cells. The following
is the code. Could you please help? Thanks!
private void ButtonTestGrid_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
            for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
                this.MainDataGrid.Columns.Add(TestHelper.CreateTextBoxColumn("Col" + i.ToString(), 120));
            Dictionary<string, object>[] data;
            data = TestHelper.CreateTestData();
            this.MainDataGrid.EndEdit();
            TestHelper.LoadGridData(this.MainDataGrid, data);
            this.MainDataGrid.Refresh();
public class TestHelper
        public static DataGridViewTextBoxColumn CreateTextBoxColumn(string name, int width)
            DataGridViewTextBoxColumn column = new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn();
            column.HeaderText = name;
            column.Name = name;
            column.ReadOnly = false;
            column.Width = width;
            return column;
        public static void LoadGridData(System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView grid, Dictionary<string, object>[] data)
            int index;
            foreach (Dictionary<string, object> row in data)
                index = grid.Rows.Add();
                LoadRowData(grid, index, row);
        public static void LoadRowData(System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView grid, int index, Dictionary<string, object> data)
            string name;
            for (int i = 0; i < grid.Columns.Count; i++)
                name = grid.Columns[i].Name;
                if (data.ContainsKey(name))
                    grid.Rows[index].Cells[name].Value = data[name];
        public static Dictionary<string, object>[] CreateTestData()
            Dictionary<string, object>[] dataList = new Dictionary<string, object>[5];
            Dictionary<string, object> data;
            for (int j = 0; j < 5; j++)
                data = new Dictionary<string, object>();
                for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
                    data.Add("Col" + i.ToString(), i);
                dataList[j] = data;
            return dataList;

There are different ways to bind the datagridview control to it's datasource, the question is where and what is your datasource? Is it from a database or XML file, or is it built on runtime...etc?
Based on your explanation I can understand that the Datagridview is binding correctly in the code behind since the rows of the grid are created. Because the row of the Datagridview are created only while it is binded correctly to it's datasource. The issue
of the display seems something different and strange.
Try also this way by using DataTable one the common ways used:
static DataTable GetTable()
// Here we create a DataTable with four columns.
DataTable table = new DataTable();
table.Columns.Add("Dosage", typeof(int));
table.Columns.Add("Drug", typeof(string));
table.Columns.Add("Patient", typeof(string));
table.Columns.Add("Date", typeof(DateTime));
// Here we add five DataRows.
table.Rows.Add(25, "Indocin", "David", DateTime.Now);
table.Rows.Add(50, "Enebrel", "Sam", DateTime.Now);
table.Rows.Add(10, "Hydralazine", "Christoff", DateTime.Now);
table.Rows.Add(21, "Combivent", "Janet", DateTime.Now);
table.Rows.Add(100, "Dilantin", "Melanie", DateTime.Now);
return table;
Then to bind the above Datatable to the grid control:
this.MainGrid.DataSource = null;//To clear before bind
this.MainGrid.DataSource = GetTable();

Cannot click or interact with a certain part of my screen in most apps

This is a weird one that's stumping me. Since probably Tuesday or Wednesday, I've had trouble clicking on certain portions of the screen on my MacBook. I noticed it first in Safari, and I thought that it was just a Safari problem, but now I realize it applies to the whole OS.
When I am in an app, I cannot click on anything or scroll when my mouse is on a certain portion of the screen. The weirdest part to me is that this portion of the screen is standard for every app. It's probably about the middle 50 or 60 percent of my screen in the lower third portion. Imagine cutting my MacBook screen into a Tic-Tac-Toe board... the lower middle box is where I'm having trouble.
This seems to apply to most apps, but for example in iTunes I can still click on items in this portion of the screen but only about every third click will it be responsive. With Safari and Finder and most other apps, I get nothing at all. It's not my mouse itself because it does the same thing if I'm using my Mighty Mouse or my Logitech mouse or just my trackpad. Also, if I navigate using the keyboard, I can interact with that portion of the screen just fine.
I can't recall installing or removing or changing anything significant within the past week that could have caused this, though it's entirely possible. I'm pretty good with my Mac on most things, but as I said, this one is stumping me and I can't find any similar issues by searching.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Got the exact same problem aswell, finally fed up with it now as i just started up firefox and 14 new windows opened because of this bug, luckily my computer can handle them but someone with a slower processor it would have been a nightmare, needs fixing ASAP.
Reverting back to 3.6.3 until this issue is solved. (link for anyone wanting to do the same below)
http://www.filehippo.com/download_firefox/7345/

I cannot click certain things on firefox and don't know how to fix it.

Okay so this problem started today. I know nothing about computers so a detailed response would be really helpful. When I go on any website, I can't click certain things. For example, on Facebook, I cannot click to update my status and I cannot click anything in the top blue bar. Nothing is blocking them, my cursor just won't click them. I can't download music from sites or do anything that I want to do. I am not sure if it is Firefox or if it is just my computer, because a couple days ago my cursor wasn't working at all unless I plugged a computer mouse into my laptop. I really don't want to download another browser, so I wanted to check here for some solutions. Do you think it is a hardware program? If so is it an easy fix? Thanks!

That problem can be caused by an extension like the Yahoo! Toolbar or a Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.

Mouse function of trackpad on 13" macbook pro is no longer working. The trackpad is working fine as I can move the pointer around as normal, but I cannot click on anything. The mouse will physically click, but it will not register.

Hello,
My mouse function of the trackpad is no longer registering clicks. The trackpad seems to be normal as I can scroll the arrow around as normal, but I cannot click on anything. I hooked up a logitech usb wireless mouse, and it works fine, so I am assuming it is a hardware problem. Are there any simple solutions, or will I need to replace the trackpad? Thank you very much.

Conclusion: I had an unresponsive trackpad key in addition to other strange user-interface issues. Although I did several things before solving the problem, it may well be that using the installation disk to run disk repair was the essential cure.
Detailed history: On 3/2/12 I set off for work with my Macbook Air (first generation) in closed-cover sleep mode. When I opened it and tried to select a menu item, I notice that the mouse-point draws rectangular regions on the desktop. Moreover, though I am able to open menus, I could not select menu items because the click key (on the first generation MBA's they still have trackpad keys) does not work. At this time, I recall that even attaching a mouse did not seem to work. Since I was at work I used another computer to go onto the internet print out Apple's shortcut-key dictionary (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1343) that allowed me to navigate and select things without my trackpad. Particularly helpful were the following shortcut keys:
'Control-Function-F2' --selects the Finder menu
'Tab' --allows you to hop to the adjacent menu header
'option-o' --opens selected items
'option-w' --closes an open window
This mouse-less navigation was critical for being able to use the internet when I went home from the office. I then began a little online research about my problem. I found nothing that seemed to fit my particular symptom, although I did glean the usual prescriptive advice about safe-mode startup, disk repair, and resetting the PRAM (see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417). Note that I did each of these without consulting the official procedure in the forgoing link.
Without mouse-like navigation, I was unable to run the disk repair from the disk utility because the navigation shortcut keys don't provide a way to select certain unsupported items in the application window that are critical. I did manage to run a disk repair from the command line at startup using the 'fsck -fy' technique described in the apple support doc (see above). This probably enabled a mouse to now work where it wouldn't before--though I can't be sure--for the next day, I took my laptop into the Apple service desk and the technician hooks a mouse up and to my surprise it works though the trackpad is still ineffective. I even reinstall Snow Leopard which takes several hours. None of the forgoing techniques seems to help (except, perhaps the 'fsck -fy' procedure).
So, as mentioned, I take my laptop to the Genius bar to have it looked at. Since the technician had to remove the mouse to insert his testing gear (my MBA has only one USB port) and could not select anything on the apps windows, he concludes it's a mechanical problem. This was after I suggested that he hook up some sort of USB hub to provide the two ports needed to hook up both a mouse and his test equipment--but what do I know. Unfortunately, I passively listen as he describes that the replacement cost will be $180 for a new top panel with trackpad. Or I could just buy a new mouse for $50. I almost sprung for the panel replacement, but thought I might first do a little research online or just try to get by using a mouse from now on. When I got home, I thought it might be good to now run the disk repair, now that I could use a mouse to select the critical buttons needed to initiate the repair. This apparently did some good, as I now found the trackpad more responsive, though still behaving weird. I then proceeded to update my re-installation of Snow Leopard by initiating the Software update mechanism. This required a very large package for my slow DSL internet connection to handle, so I left my computer on overnight to complete this download. Upon startup, the trackpad key was able to select menu items, however when I selected a file, the file icon would stick to the pointer icon. Not good. What else could I do? I decided to run the disk utility one more time. When I did, some serious errors were spotted and I was told to restart the computer using the original installation disk and choose the disk repair utility from the startup disk. The repairs took place and it showed that the repair was successful. When I rebooted from the hard-drive the trackpad key works perfectly! In hindsight, although I did several things before solving the problem, it may well be that using the installation disk to run disk repair was the essential cure. I will certainly do that first next time I find the trackpad key unresponsive.

How do I install right click to windows running on mac

I recently installed windows 7 on my Macbook Pro Retina and cannot right click on windows programs! how do I install this?

Look in Control Panel -> System -> Boot Camp -> Track Pad tab.

How do I simulate a right-click in Windows when connected with Remote Desktop 8.0 for Mac OS X?

When connecting to a remote Windows 7 OS from Mac OS X 10.8.5 with Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0.24091, I'm not able to simulate a right-click with the Apple magic mouse.
On an older version Microsoft Remote Desktop Client version 2.1.1, I can hold down shift+ctl on the Mac and click the magic mouse to simulate a right-click in Windows. With this new version RDP 8.0, I can't find any way to simulate a right-click,
other than to select "Swap mouse buttons" under settings, and then every click is a right-click and then I'm no longer able to left-click (which is even worse). I've tried several key combinations and nothing seems to work. Am I missing
something simple here with the new RDP 8.0 application, or is the right-click simulation not (yet) functional?
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

In order to make use of the right-click inside an open session you have three options:
Standard PC two button USB mouse
Apple Magic Mouse: To enable right-click, clickSystem Preferences in the dock, click Mouse, and then enable Secondary click.
Apple Magic Trackpad or MacBook Trackpad: To enable right-click, click System Preferences in the dock, click Mouse, and then enable Secondary click.

Cannot click on certain area of the screen

I'm not sure if this is a display or a mouse issue. I have had my 24" iMac since June and have just started having this issue. I cannot click (left or right mouse button) on one specific part of the screen. I can click on links and buttons, form boxes, bring up the contextual menu (right click) or do pretty much anything you do with the mouse on most of the screen. However in this approximately half inch high and a few inches long area just above the middle of the screen on the left hand side there is no response from computer when clicking with the mouse. I can click on a link in the browser above this space and below it but not on the link in it. If I move the browser window so that same link appears in a different part of the screen I can click on it fine and cannot click on the link now in the affected area.
This is the same for any clickable item placed in this area of the screen. Is this a display or a mouse issue?

If you have an external drive that can be erased, you could try installing a new system there and setting the Mac to boot from it. That will determine if it is related to the current system installation, or if it is more likely to be a hardware problem. You can obviously also back up your data, erase your internal drive, and reinstall a new system there.
Alternately, as a test, you can just startup from your Mac OS X installation disc. At the first installer screen, go up to the menu bar. Under Utilities, run Disk Utility. Move the Disk Utility window around the screen as needed to see of the same problem exists while booted from a different system. If it happens there, then it is more likely to be some odd hardware-related issue. If it does not, it is possible a fresh system installation will resolve the problem.

[gnome] cannot open any window

Hello,
Since this morning I cannot open any window. Not exactly because if I double-click on a folder on my desktop, nautilus shows up but if I double-click on a text-file, nothing happens.
If I do ALT+F2, a launcher appears but if I try do start any application (gedit, firefox, terminal or even nautilus), I see a notification in the bottom of the screen ("starting gedit...") but it disappear after a few seconds.
If I try from the application menu, same. Same with the administration tools.
In the conky (automatic startup), I see that dropbox (also automatic startup) is running but I don't have the icon in the top right corner.
Only one or two percent of the CPU is used and a few megabits for the RAM
Yesterday I added two line in my ~/.xinitrc to start mpd but as it didn't work (couldn't start gnome) I removed them this morning and now I have that (but it could have been caused by something else I did yesterday)
Fortunately I have ubuntu on another partition but I want my archlinux back
Thank you
edit : it seems that it was an error from my /etc/hosts file

First, the process by which OS X checks the validity of root SSL certificates doesn't currently work behind the authenticating SOCKS proxies used on some enterprise networks. If applicable, contact your network administrator. The proxy server may need to have its settings changed.
Disable the built-in application firewall, if it's in use. If you're running a third-party firewall such as “LittleSnitch” or “Hands Off,” disable that. Test.
In some versions of OS X, Parental Controls has a bug that prevents loading of secure websites. Turn it off.
Are the current date (including the year) and time shown on your system clock? If not, correct them and test.
Otherwise, launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar of the Activity Monitor window, if not already selected. Enter "ocspd" (without the quotes) in the "Filter" text field. Is a process with that name listed?
If not, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the Finder menu bar. Into the text box that opens, copy the following line of text:
/var/db/crls
From the folder that opens, move these two files to the Trash:
crlcache.db
ocspcache.db
You’ll be prompted for your administrator password when you do this. Then reboot, empty the Trash, and try again.
