Letters are doubled when typing in new place name

I have been struggling with the new way of adding places to photos in iPhoto 11 (see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2623201&tstart=0). I finally figured out (more or less) how to add a new place to a photo. After a while another problem showed up, which I can't get rid of:
In the Info window of a photo, I enlarge the places window to show the map. I then start typing in a place name, but every letter I type in gets doubled (displayed twice). But when removing the double letter, the automatic search doesn't get updated, so I can't select any of my own places as they never show up. And it doesn't happen with every letter. Only the first one and every one after I have removed a doubled letter.
If I try this without the map being show, the first letter gets displayed once, but the next letters are doubled as the map is automatically shown.
The strange thing is that it didn't happen before.
I tried to restart iPhoto. Problem still exists.
I even restart my MacBook Pro (first time I had to do that regarding a software bug). Problem still exists.
I tried another photo library I have, and there it doesn't happen, so it seems to be linked to that specific photo library.
Any suggestions?

very few people have reported this - try renewing your iphoto preference file - A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

  • Can't start a New Project. Clicked New/Create. Then when I enter new project name and click CREATE

    nothing happens.

    I have the proplem using IE 10 on a Windows 8 OS. When I use Firefox 25.0.1  the issue didn't happen. 
    What I did notice is that in the IE 10 side, I have a new ID name. I didn't knowingly create this ID.  The email associated with the new ID is the same as the ID that I use for the creative suite.  The Firefox side used the old ID and had a bunch of template projects to start.

  • When typing a new email in Mail for Yosemite, letters on the screen often lag behind key presses.

    Since I installed Yosemite, I have experienced a serious lag in typing new emails. Letters appearing on screen can lag significantly behind keypresses. The only fix I've so far tried was to repair permissions. No effect.
    I have a mid-2011 27" iMac, 3.4 GHz i7 with 8 GB RAM. 1.16 TB free disk space. I'm using a wired Apple keyboard.
    The problem does not occur in Pages or Text Edit or anywhere else that I've noticed (including this Safari window now). I'm running a little Free Memory app in the menu bar which tells me I have around 2.5 to 3 GB of memory free as I type in Mail.
    Any suggestions?

    Same thing here. Working on a Macbook Pro 2.4 Ghz Core i7 with SSD and 8Gb Ram.
    Typing goes ok for the first few lines but after about six or seven lines it starts to lag seriously. I'm a pretty fast typer and mail often lags 6 or 7 characters behind which is infuriating. I didn't notice it before so I think it may have to do with the 10.10.1. update. Restarting doesn't help. 
    Man, I hope there will be a fix soon or I will have to downgrade to Mavericks and I'm not looking forward to all the extra work...

  • Letters look distorted when typing.

    When I am typing in certain areas. Like ebay/craigslists/my emails are coming in where the letters look like they did when using typewriter and almost out of ink.  Some of my emails come through all right but if someone has typed something than they look like this.  This typing i'm doing now looks fine. ????????????

    You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Headers are changing when adding a new section between others

    Hi!
    I am compiling a colloquium program. For each lecture abstract, I have made a file with distinct headers. I open the page side tab, click on one page and copy it (Command+C). I click in the main file, in the page side tab, on the abstract which would be before the new one, and paste the new abstract (Command+V).
    The new abstract is neatly pasted after the old one, but the headers are changed : it has the previous abstract headers. Worse, every abstract, whose each is in a distinct section, has this previous abstract header, even if I turned off the «Same headers/footers as before» option!
    Is this a bug? Did I do something wrong?

    I may have found an explanation to this problem.
    When I put a one page document in the master document, every header I had written has been brought back! I think it is a dual page problem here. When the second page of a inserted document (left page) become an odd page (right page), it does not take in account the odd page of the inserted document, but the odd page of the section BEFORE the inserted document.
    Does anyone want to test this?
    Hope it will be fixed soon...

  • Thumbnails are blank when opening a new tab.

    I have tried all the suggestions to get the graphics to show in the thumbnails when I open a new tab. Nothing changes. The panels are there for the thumbnail, the name of the website shows, but there is no graphic or "picture" of the page in the thumbnail. They show up on all my other pcs, and my iMac, but not on this laptop.

    This question was asked here also, hope it helps!

  • Some letters are missing when I open a PDF in Firefox. Works fine in other browsers.

    When I open a PDF using Firefox, some letters in words that are printed across the document are missing. I believe the creator of the document used a text box to add "Draft" on it. The D is missing. Other words I have found are "Copy Non-negotiable" and the C is missing. These same PDFs open fine in IE and Chrome. Have experienced it on V22-V25. Using Windows7

    Starting in Firefox 19, PDF files will display by default in a built-in viewer. This viewer does not yet support all of the features of the Adobe viewer, and may also have some bugs. Other than changing viewers, as described in the following article, I'm not sure what to suggest.

  • Dots are missing when typing in safari

    Hello
    My boss brought a brand new desktop. When he is typing a web address in safari ( for example www.hotmail.com) he is able to type full url with dot but after pressing enter it's coming like wwwhotmailcom
    And it's throwing error. Any help would appreciate.
    Regards
    Akther

    This problem is has to do with "security" (AKA file permissions) for some of the VAB files. I am not aware of what may have caused the problem. As the USER check to see what problem files exist. Then as the ADMINISTRATOR check the "Security" tab in the file's properties and you'll find that the USER is unable to modify/read/see/etc that file. Changing the setting to match one of the "OK" DLL block files should correct the problem. Alternatively you can run the command line script that the installer runs: cacls "C:\Program FIles\Hyperception\VABINF" /T /E /G Everyone:F Assuming you installed in the default directory, you should be able to drop to a command prompt and issue this command. It will scroll the name of every file in the given directory and all subdirectories. It should reset every file.

  • Screen flicker when typing on new install

    I installed Dreamweaver CS6 on a new Windows 8.1 computer last week.  The software works fine; but when I type, the screen flickers on each keystroke.  I never had the problem on my old computer nor on any of my other CS6 programs.  I have tried to research if others have the problem; but I only can find that there is an issue for Photoshop CS6, where changing the GPU acceleration to Basic solves the problem for that program.  There is no place to change GPU acceleration in Dreamweaver.
    Does anyone have any suggestions.  Fortunately I can still use the program, but it is quite frustrating.

    Have you installed the latest updates for CS6 yet? Adobe released a patch to help improve performance on HiDPI displays.  It's worth a shot.

  • Caps Lock when typing in new video tour?

    Hey, in the video tour for the latest update, the guy "caps lock" the keyboard (the shift button turns blue) when he is saving the New York Times webpage as a webclip.
    How did he do that?

    deeseeArch,
    If you double tap on the shift button (the up arrow) it sets caps lock.
    Hope this helps,

  • Problem switching from a non Idea Exchange board to an Idea Exchange board when typing a new post

    Tested on Chrome/XP and IE8/XP
    when I start a post in a non Idea Exchange forum and later on want to convert it into an Idea Exchange one, I can switch to the correct forum using the "Select Board" pull-down list. However, when posting, my post is refused because I haven't chosen a "Label". Well, that's because I can't!
    In other words, switching to an Idea Exchange board does not add the "Label" options on the composition webpage, hence it is impossible to post that idea unless you copy it (or rely on the autosave function), start a new post directly into a Idea Exchange forum and paste your old post in it (or alternatively, load the saved draft once you have created the new post).
    Disclaimer: this may have already reported, but as I said elsewhere, the Search function doesn't work either...

    This is my first post so be gentle with me.  I have a Pixi Plus running os 1.4.5.  Last week we upgraded to exchange 2010 (or 14 as I've heard it called).  I lost the connection on my phone.  I tried changing the inheritable permisions above and it has not solved it.  I'm pretty sure all the log in info I'm using is correct.  It acts like it's communicating with the server because it says
    Unable to sign in
    Could not sign into account
    THe mail server responded: bad login/password
    I've changed several things and when I change certain things it says it cannot validate incoming mail server so I feel like I'm close but can't figure it out.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.
