Launch Pad bug with Multi-Monitors in Mavericks...

I noticed something while trying to use a two monitor setup with Mavericks 10.9. After moving from the primary laptop monitor to the secondary monitor, I noticed that after clicking in the screen to make it the active screen that the LaunchPad gesture would not work. From there I proceeded to drag the pointer down to access the Dock. I noticed after touching the Dock in the secondary monitor, then LaunchPad gesture would work. If I try the LaunchPad gesture before touching the dock, the system brings up LaunchPad in the screen of the previously active monitor. I noticed the same senario when moving from the secondary monitor back to the primary monitor. So, in a nut shell:
1.) When moving from one active monitor screen to another, click in the inactive screen to make it the active screen.
2.) Move pointer to the Dock (wait for Dock to rise).
3.) After the first two steps, THEN the LaunchPad gesture can be used in the now active monitor.
Has anyone else noticed this? Now a big deal but it is an annoyance I cannot believe no one else has seen.

Thank you!  Your solution worked for me. 
It seems to be a bug in multimonitors.

  • Potential bug with dual monitors running Maverick

    When running dual display monitors on a MacMini I have found and can repeat where 2nd display open windows need to be dragged over to the primary display monitor to activate then dragged back before you can actively select or do anything in that window no matter what app you're using. Apple mail is the worst.
    Second - primary screen has to be thunderbold monitor to HDMI with the title bars at the top of the primary screen only.
    Mirroring has to be turned off, the menu bars can not be on both displays otherwise you can not access the app without dragging it back and forth to activate it. With mirroring turned off - most programs run. BUT Apple mail still does not.
    I am using two HDMI ASUS 24 inch monitors running Maverick 10.9 (13A603) on a MacMini: Processor  2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, Memory  16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB.
    any solutions? Bug or some setting I should change?

    No, there is no way to set it up with two different interface (keyboard & mouse) setups.
    Unfortunately, it sounds like your about to become a two or three computer family.

  • L430 : problem with multi-monitoring (with workstation)

    Hello,
    I have some trouble with multi-monitoring on a L430 setup. I have a workstation with a 20' Samsung connected on it (VGA). Double display runs very well.
    But now that i have decided to put a 3rd monitor, it is a complete mess. I tried to plug the 3rd screen on the DVI port, but now the 2nd screen is black.
    i tried with 2 different monitors, with 1 different cable, i tried to put the 3rd screen directly on the VGA port of the laptop, but i had the same problem.
    I read somewhere that with the L430, one cannot plug a 3rd screen, but i cannot believe it.
    Is it real?

    I would like to be sure of that :/ Working in an IT departement, being able to have only 2 screens because of company limits is strange...

  • IE7 Padding Bug with Spry Effects

    I'm having a recurring issue with using the Spry Blind effect
    in IE7 where, when upon trigerring the Blind, the width of the
    element being expanded/contracted is expanding out to the right
    over it's edges.
    For example.
    A div with a width of 800px and a padding of 20px;
    When a Blind is triggerred on this element, the width of the
    element would expand to 840px, the padding on the left side remains
    fine, but the text now goes all the way to the right edge of the
    newly widened element.
    This has been extremely frustrating and doesn't occur in
    Firefox.
    I'm hoping this is a common problem. My implementation of the
    script is fairly straightforward so I don't know if there is
    anything else but a bug with the effect.

    Here is a somewhat messy version of the page I am working
    with.
    http://derekprospero.com/michael/example.html
    If you click the green down arrow at the bottom of the top
    right pane you will see the error.
    The table expands out past the borders of the div. The
    padding-left and padding-right on this div is 20px each, and it
    expands out to 40px past the border of the div, so I am assuming
    there is some correlation.
    It also happens on the bottom one, though it is not as
    evidence, since the text goes behind the background, isntead of
    over it.

  • Interface Bug with 2 monitors in LP8

    I use 2 monitors tiled vertically to display a large track layout - in 7.2 I'd have to open the screenset and drag the window across to the 2nd screen - once I did this it would stay in place (across the 2 monitors)
    I LP 8 I tried the same thing - only when I select a track on the 1st montor the display reverts and redraws the window to only ONE screen - so for now v. 8 is useless -
    Also - I find the legibility is MUCH WORSE with this haze of grey over everything - Looks Like I'll be hanging on to my xs usb keys for a while---
    back to work, back to 7.2

    I work with 2 monitors all the time - with very large arrangements it's a huge boon. Are you saying if for example you have a linked matrix editor open on the 2nd screen every time you change tracks it shhots onto screen 1?
    This would be a disaster for my use of Logic so I hope this isn't the case or if it is it's a soon to be fixed bug!

  • Launch Pad issues with Mavricks

    I upgraded to Mavricks 10.9 when it was released. I have a Macbook Air 13" Late 2010 model. After upgrading to Mavricks, I noticed that my Launch Pad Icons are all missing. I'll I see is text.
    Any clues to a fix?
    Thanks!
    Kirk

    I figured it out. Go to Applications> Launchpad.app > Contents > and delete info.plist & version.plist XML files and reboot. These files are regenerated the next time you add or modify the Launchpad.
    Thanks!

  • Issue with multi-monitor after upgrading to Mavericks

    I ran Mountain Lion OS on my MacBook Pro along with VMWare Fusion 5 with an extra monitor and everything was working fine till I upgraded to Mavericks. Since then, I am not able to see the 2nd monitor in the Extended Mode.
    on Apple, everything is work and I see two monitors and can move one window from one display to another but when I open my Windows in Fusion, only one display is accessible (the 2nd display showing Apple screen, which wasn't the case before). Even I can see that the color settings I had done before for my additional monitor is not in place after upgrade.
    I have checked my WIndows and settings are fine as it was before. It's Windows 7 Pro. I read some articles that I have to upgrade to Fusion 6 and some others that mentioned this is an issue with Mavericks and upgrade won't fix it. So, I am looking for some advice or similar experince, if any.
    Thx in advance for your help.
    Behzad

    Update: I can see that Windows act as it is two displays but the 2nd display is in nowhere and I cannot see it. I mean the window can go out of my normal display (i.e. my laptop) but not to the other monitor. That's why I have to disconnect the 2nd monitor and only use laptop display.

  • Lightroom 5.2 and Mavericks Lights out bug with dual monitors

    I installed OS X Mavericks on my iMac which has a second NEC display connected and that I use as my main display. When I activate "lights out/lights dim" pressing "L" on the keyboard my primary display (NEC) doesn't change at all but the secondary display (iMac) is the one that dims the lights on the interface. Makes no difference if I have the secondary display active as a second screen for Lightroom or not. Lights out/dimm dosen't work on my main interface display.
    Anyone seeing this as well with their second display?

    I am having the same issue and wondered what was the issue. Thank you for posting; now I remember Lightroom didn't start doing this until I updated to Mac OS Maverick. The only time I don't have that problem is when I physically disconnect my secondary display from my computer.

  • Proofing bug with multiple monitors (InDesign & Acrobat on Mac)

    Software:
    InDesign CS3 5.0.3 and Acrobat Professional 8.1.2 (Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.4)
    Both application does not compensate the onscreen colors when moving document windows to another screen.
    I have three monitors: Eizo ColorEdge CG220, 30-inch Apple Cinema Display and 17-inch Apple Studio Display.
    The 30-inch Apple Cinema Display is my default monitor (with the menubar). But the Eizo ColorEdge is my color-proofing screen. To get correct onscreen colors on the ColorEdge I have to set it as the default monitor in System Settings. That's a hassle. I hope this bug will be fixed.
    Photoshop handles this perfectly.

    AlFerrari,
    My Mac Pro has two graphics card. The 30-inch uses the first one, and the Eizo and 17-inch shares the second card. The graphic cards are identical.
    Gernot,
    Photoshop refreshes the colors when releasing the mouse button after dragging a window from another screen. Acrobat and InDesign does not.

  • Bug with MAIL after update Maverick 10.9.4

    Since I've update Maverick 10.9.3 to 10.9.4, MAIL can't recognize all my email account that I have in my preference system.
    Mail ask me all time to configure my email accound (add email account).
    When I try to configure an email account in MAIL, MAIL still frozen.
    Someone have a tip our a solution ?
    Thanks,
    Bernard

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
    This action will delete any custom Mail stationery that you have created. If you want to preserve it, ask for instructions.
    If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Photoshop Layering Bug with Multi-language discs

    I have searched and couldn't find information regarding this problem.
    I am in the process of converting projects created in DVDSP1.52 that were multi-lingual and used layered menus created in Photoshop. Projects are moved into DVDSP3.02 where the language tags for a language menu are reset so they will work properly.
    When projects are converted in DVDSP3.02, menu layers behave normally until I change the languages outside of the Simulator. As soon as this is done, the layers ALL turn on. I can reset them to their proper settings manually but the settings will not hold.
    This isn't really a problem as long as I have the disc behaving EXACTLY the way I want it to in DVDSP1.52 before translation and I don't need to overhaul some other aspect of the project that would require me to toggle the displayed languages.
    However, I forsee a point in time where I will have to work on this library further and the translated projects would be my starting point.
    Has anyone experienced these issues?
    Does upgrading to DVDSP4 resolve this bug?

  • Fullscreen bug with specific button on Mavericks rMBP 2013

    Hi Everyone,
    Encountered a weird bug on my GF's new rMBP with facetime.  The camera will turn itself off during face time if she fullscreens the app using the fade in fullscreen button on the top right corner of the app.  Sometimes the green light will stay off the whole time it is fullscreened, sometimes it will stay off for a second, then turn back on and the other end of the conversation may or may not see the pause icon. This doesn't happen when she uses the menu or the persistant bottom right hand corner fullscreen button.
    I don't know why it is only that particular button, but it happens.  Not a major issue, but just a weird annoyance and wonder if anyone else has seen this problem or if this is a know bug that will be addressed in the future.  I've tried to clear out the keychain, thinking it was that, but no go.
    Regards,
    Mike

    For those following along, Sanjay and I have taken the discussion offline and he provided me with a couple of sample projects.  I've been able to reproduce the issue on AIR 2.5 and it has now been entered as a bug in our internal database, #2751098.
    I've also proposed a workaround that appears to work on both Mac and Win.  Instead of
    this.addEventListener(Event.ACTIVATE, onActivate);
    public function onActivate(evt:Event):void
         stageDetails();
    I've suggested using
    stage.nativeWindow.addEventListener(NativeWindowDisplayStateEvent.DISPLAY_STATE_CHANGE, onDisplayStateChange);
    public function onDisplayStateChange(evt:NativeWindowDisplayStateEvent):void
         if (evt.afterDisplayState == NativeWindowDisplayState.NORMAL)
         stageDetails();
    I hope this helps anyone else that might encounter this issue.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Bug with multi-disc albums?

    I've been using iTunes for about 3 years, and I recently bought Stadium Arcadium and ripped it to my computer and added it to my iTunes library. I'm pretty meticulous with my ID tags so I naturally thought to add which disc was which through the iTunes editor (Disc blank of blank). When I uploaded it to my iPod (1G 4GB Nano), I noticed that when I went through the menu to the artist, I no longer had the basic "All, *album name*, *album name*, etc." that I had for other artists, it simply jumped straight into the album. This concerns me because I've also got some singles on my iPod that I can no longer get to. I found that renaming the album name to whatever disc it was (e.g. Stadium Arcadium CD 1) and getting rid of the "Disc 1 of 2" in the tag solved the problem, but I was wondering if anyone else had this same problem?
    -Sam

    I have quite a few box sets, and I wished to see them all under a single Album icon/image, with Disc 1, 2, etc. I tried a few approaches and spoke with Apple support too. My conclusion is that iTunes as a product/program has gotten so big, and is used so pervasively, and in such complex combinations (especially if you are a Match subscriber), that it almost has an organic set of actions, rather than robotic. I know that sounds odd, but Apple nearly admitted to such, suggesting in one of my issues, we just "wait it out..."
    Regarding the multilpe CD issue, first I found it helpful while loading CDs to be signed out of iTunes. This in essence turns off Genius and Match, and allows you to deal solely with iTunes (local) and the CDs you are loading. Next, note how iTunes reads the meta/data file for the disk. It is at the mercy of the CD mfg, and there is not always consistency in the title text. For example, I had part of a 8-CD box say "Dvorak:" another part say "Dvorak - " and another part with either the colon or dash. After loading, I went into Get Info, and standardized on the use of the dash - and verified the order, disk 1 of 8, 2 of 8, etc. and then all the CDs loaded under a single Album heading as I understand you are looking to do. Other CDs had an embedded [Disk 1], and [Disk 2] in the title. You must remove these from the title, in order for iTunes to file them together and then make use of the "x of y" fields.
    After loading, you can sign into iTunes and do Genius - then Load Album Artwork, and then Match. It doesnot make complete sense to me, but doing it this way gave me the results I wanted, which seem to be the same as the results you are looking for. Also, if the initial load have been messed up by iTunes/Match etc, you may need to delete the album and redo, playing attention to the steps described above. Good luck.

  • Mouse pointer is unchangeable at 100% scaling in multi monitor setup with different resolutions

    Hi there, I have been asked by one of the moderators of the Windows 8.1 forums to post this topic here.  You can see the thread relating to this post here
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-tms/cant-change-the-cursor-pointer/ae8ad8a0-3ded-4810-a3be-794f6c4830a4?msgId=2bd7082f-f5d1-4b01-8c70-e0d2a754d66f&page=1<o:p></o:p>
    The problem:  The mouse pointer becomes unchangeable in size, type, trails etc when 100% scaling is used.  As in it reverts to the standard small white non-inverted, no trails,
    no shadow 'pointer', no matter what options you select in the 'Mouse' control panel settings.<o:p></o:p>
    This appears to be a scaling problem with the Windows 8/8.1 display, not an actual mouse problem.  Judging by my own and other peoples experience it seems to happen mainly with multi
    monitor setups where different screen resolutions are used.  The issue occurs typically when 100% scaling for all monitors is used or this option is un-ticked and the 'change the size of all items' is on smallest (equivalent to 100%).  <o:p></o:p>
    If the scaling is set to 150% or greater the issue disappears and the mouse pointer becomes fully functional.  Also bizarrely when the scaling is set to 100% if the screen is recorded
    using a screen capture program, the recording of the screen shows the mouse pointer selected in the mouse options and not the default small white cursor that is present when recording it.  Here is a link to a video where I explain and show the problem
    happening on my system.  http://youtu.be/xs2cxoeaq-A<o:p></o:p>
    I have every update installed without exception, latest drivers etc.  I use a 55" 4k screen with 2x1080p monitors in portrait on either side.  All are connected through 1 Nvidia
    GTX 780 6GB graphics card<o:p></o:p>
    Hope you can help us<o:p></o:p>
    thanks<o:p></o:p>
    Jon M<o:p></o:p>

    Hi Jon,
    I'm looking into this issue but it will take me some time to provide a reply. 
    In the meantime I noticed that you have 3 monitors with 1x 55' and 2x27' - please have a try to only connect 1x27' monitor and see if issue persists.
    Also please try to change the screen resolution to a lower size and see if issue persists. 
    Both suggestions are not solution, I just would like to know if it is related to multiple monitor or screen resolution. 
    If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

  • Fiori Launch Pad and Object Based Navigation (OBN)

    I was wondering if anyone knows how the Fiori Launch Pad works with Object Based Navigation (OBN)...
    The scenario I am imagining is that I have a tile defined on the Fiori Launch Pad that opens a Web Dynpro ABAP Application - within that application there is a user action that triggers an OBN call. This is quite a common scenario particularly with POWLs.
    In the Portal or NWBC these OBN calls are managed and resolved at runtime based on the user's role. Will this also work with the Fiori Launch Pad or must the Launch Pad be embedded within the Portal or NWBC for this scenario to work?
    I have noticed that if you define a Web Dynpro ABAP application in the Fiori Launch Pad it by default wraps that app in the NWBC (HTML version) in a new window - I am guessing that maybe this is how it then handles OBN resolution (e.g. via NWBC).
    Any insight would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Simon

    This document posted by Jamie Cawley doesn't fully answer my question above but it helps in that it explains how the Fiori Launch Pad has it's own implementation of Object Based Navigation called "Intent based Navigation"
    Fiori Launchpad Concepts
    I hope SAP has a solution to cater for OBN in "older" applications such as Web Dynpro ABAP POWLs. I can imagine that many customers will have a hybrid launch pad consisting of both Fiori/UI5 and Web Dynpro Applications for some time.
