LibreOffice-black rectangle instead of icon "helpers"

Hi,
I'm on a fresh installed, fully updated, Arch-X86_64/KDE (4.8.00) system.
I've tried to open Writer (part of Libre Office ver 3.4.5) and found that I get full black rectangles, instead of icon "helpers" (that small window which appears if you leave the mouse curser a few seconds on an icon).
Libre Office is configured to use US English as the default user interface (and language as well), with Hebrew for CTL.
Below is a copy of my local.
Please advise!
Thanks

LaserJet 2015 prints black boxes instead of PDF

We have four LaserJet 2015 printers that are being served by a Windows 2003 server on a network. In one application we enter data into a web based application for an outside vendor. That vendor then "packages" the data into a pdf and sends it back to our printers to be printed. From time to time one of these pages will print large black rectangles instead of the usual data. This seems to happen randomly on each printer.
Two of the printers have the latest firmware updates and all printers are using the latest drivers. We've tried the 5e and the 6 PCL drivers but that makes no difference. The version of the firmware also seems to play no role.
We can actually look at the emf files coming back to the server and they look fine so our vendor says "it's a driver issue."
Has anyone else encountered this sort of problem? The searches I've done on the web and in the knowledge bases don't yield much information.
Thanks for the help!

Hi
I don't know if u can't find out a solution.
All device output (printers) having the same divice type have the same behavior, i.e. printers having a different device type can give a different output, so if u'll correct the problem for a certain group of printers u could have a new problem for other group.
I think the best soltion is to use the printer used to test the smartforms

Funny Black Rectangle Around Every Selection

A friend has a black rectangle around anything she selects in list or icon. Trashed com.apple.finder.plist, com.apple.desktop. No change. Though it's a bit hard to describe, in list view when selecting a file or folder name the black rectangle starts as far left as the window allows and stops at the right end of the name tab. It does not include the date, kind, size etc only the name.
On the desktop, selecting an icon puts a black rectangle around the icon.
There is no Color Label selected.
Any ideas?
MacOS 10.4.10, G5 Dual.

Wow, that worked. When I told her she said she had been in System Preferences and had clicked Voice Over On and forgot about it. Volume control was off.
THANKS!

Black rectangles after 10.4.5 Upgrade?

Help! I just did the automatic update to 10.4.5 and now I have black rectangles around many of the field windows, desktop icons, etc. It's especially annoying while using Quark.
If I open a window box, the black rectangle superimposes itself over my layout.
Is anyone else having the same problem?
Can I uninstall 10.4.5 and go back to the former version?
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

katarina,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Mac OS X 10.4: Computer speaks unexpectedly, or a black box unexpectedly appears around a file, folder, or other item: If a black outline (or box) unexpectedly appears around a file, folder, icon, button, or other item when you click it, VoiceOver is probably enabled. Your computer might also be unexpectedly speaking items that you click on.
If you don't want VoiceOver on, turn it off in the Universal Access preference pane, or by pressing Command-F5 (or Fn-Command-F5 if you have an iBook or PowerBook).;~)

Occassionally print solid black pages instead of text

Sometimes (but not always) pdf files print as solid black rectangles - how do I prevent this?

This type of result is often due to errors in the HP printer drivers. Several things can be tried. Sometimes, using a tested driver for an older, but compatible printer will do the job. A lot of folks used the use the HPLJ2 driver even with HPLJ3 and 4 systems. Another option is to try to print as a graphic. At this point, I can only suggest playing around with things. A lot of folks like the graphic driver aspect instead.
You might also consider printing to the printer in a PS mode rather than PCL if that option is available.
I am only suggesting things I have seen tried by various folks. I don't have a good explanation.

Black rectangle

How can I get rid of the black rectangle that is usually on the back page arrow or right now it is around the apple at the top of the page? Sometimes it will go around half the stuff on the page. If safari is not open it will go around an icon on the desk top. I have tried restoring my defaults on the mouse and in system preferences.

Hi
It sounds like you've accidentally turned on the Voiceover feature. Go into System Preferences - Universal Access, and turn off Voiceover if it's on.
The keyboard shortcut is cmd-F5 so it's not too difficult to hit it by mistake.

Strange Black rectangle in JPanel

I have created a program that uses 2 classes a driver class and a resource class. However, when I run the driver class, a window comes up with a strange black rectangle. To make things easier to understand, here are my two classes.
Driver Class:
   import javax.swing.JFrame;
   public class ProjectDriver
      public static void main(String[] args)
         JFrame frame = new JFrame("Project");
         frame.setSize(1000, 700);
         frame.setLocation(0, 0);
         frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
         frame.setContentPane(new ProjectPanelMine());
         frame.setVisible(true);
   }Resource class:
   import javax.swing.*;
   import java.awt.*;
   import javax.swing.event.*;
   import java.awt.image.*;
   import java.awt.event.*;
    public class ProjectPanelMine extends JPanel{
      private int grow = (int)(Math.random() * 4);
      private static final ImageIcon EUCLID = new ImageIcon("euclid.png");
      private BufferedImage myImage;
      private Graphics2D myBuffer;
      private Timer t1,t2,t3;
      private int xpoints[]= {(int)(Math.random()*1000),(int)(Math.random()*1000),(int)(Math.random()*1000)};
      private int ypoints[]={(int)(Math.random()*1000),(int)(Math.random()*1000),(int)(Math.random()*1000)};
      private int wpoints[]= {(int)(Math.random()*1000),(int)(Math.random()*1000),(int)(Math.random()*1000),(int)(Math.random()*1000)};
      private int zpoints[]={(int)(Math.random()*1000),(int)(Math.random()*1000),(int)(Math.random()*1000),(int)(Math.random()*1000)};
       public ProjectPanelMine(){
         myImage = new BufferedImage(1000,700, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
         myBuffer = (Graphics2D)myImage.getGraphics();
         t1 = new Timer(5, new Listener1());
         t2 = new Timer(3000, new Listener2());
         t2 = new Timer(5000, new Listener3());
         t1.start();
       public class Listener1 implements ActionListener{
          public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event){
            if (Math.random()>.7){
               grow = (int)(Math.random() * 4);
                         if(Math.random() > .5)
                         grow = -grow;
                         System.out.println(grow);
            myBuffer.setColor(Color.blue);
            myBuffer.drawRect(0,0,1000,700);
            myBuffer.drawImage(EUCLID.getImage(), 10, 10,152,188, null);
            myBuffer.setStroke(new BasicStroke(3.0f));
            xpoints[0] += grow; xpoints[0] += grow; xpoints[1] += grow;
            ypoints[0] += grow; ypoints[0] += grow; ypoints[1] += grow;
            wpoints[0] += grow; wpoints[0] += grow; wpoints[1] += grow; wpoints[2] += grow;
            zpoints[0] += grow; zpoints[0] += grow; zpoints[1] += grow; zpoints[2] += grow;
                myBuffer.drawPolygon(xpoints, ypoints,3);
            myBuffer.drawPolygon(wpoints, zpoints,4);
            repaint();
       public class Listener2 implements ActionListener{
          public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event){
       public class Listener3 implements ActionListener{
          public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event){
       public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
         g.drawImage(myImage, 0,0,getWidth(),getHeight(), null);
   }And the result, again, is a frame with a black rectangle filling up most of my screen that I don't want.
So, what is the problem?
Thanks in advance,
Eric

However, when I run the driver class, a window comes up with a strange black rectangleBecause a newly created image starts off as black. The blue color fills in as you consecutively draw polygons.
I would have a thin line of white around the strange black box. Because you did a drawRect instead of a fillRect.

How to check for black rectangle special character

hi ,
i have a field that contains the black rectangle special character and when i copy it to the pl/sql's screen it's showing the square bracket. -->
however when i saved the view it turns from to . and this has disrupted my check as follows
field1 = '2AAC1234.11some-other-words'
substring(field1 , instr(field1 , '')) -- i am expecting it to return 2AAC1234.11
instead it returns me 2AAC1234 because the has turned in "." once i save the query. pls advise
tks & rgds

Get the ascii values for using ASCII function.
SELECT ASCII('') FROM DUAL;--
and then INSTR function use CHR fucntion with the ASCII value you get fron above query.
SELECT CHR(n) FROM DUAL; it will return ''
here n is the ascii value for ''

QuickTime embedded player just displaying a black rectangle

Plug in not rendering correctly when playing a .mp3 file.
The sound plays correctly and I can click on the control and it does move to the no location.
S black rectangle is displayed instead of the nice visual.
Using windows exployer and I have the latest QT installed.
Any ideas?

A "black" controller is a known issue in Windows 64 bit OS's.
Try running your browser using "compatibility" mode.

Why do I get a black rectangle on the left side of the screen when I import a clip in Imovie?

I import a clip into imovie 6 and I get a black rectangle on the left side of the screen. It's driving me crazy!

Thanks for the reply.
My original source material is in Apple Intermediate Codec, with 32-bit float audio and a variable frame rate. This has not been friendly to FCP, so I use Quicktime to convert it to Apple ProRes with 24-bit audio and 29.97 frame rate. This is what I import into FCP.
My sequence settings are set to the same specs as my source material. 854x480, square pixels, no field dominance, Apple ProRes compression.
The black bar on the left side of the screen shows up before I even export. It shows up when I render everything.
I am exporting with Quicktime Conversion to:
MP4
h.264 codec
720x405
1000 video bit rate
Main Profile
No cropping/filters or anything.
The ONLY thing I did different before upgrading to FCP6 was that I used Apple Intermediate Codec all the way through. I was told by an FCP instructor that writes and publishes all kinds of FCP training material that I should upgrade to FCP6 and use the Apple ProRes422 Codec instead, so that's what I'm trying to do.
I am going back to restart my project using Apple Intermediate Codec all the way through like I used to, but it will be awhile before I can tell if that solved the problem. Either way, I would like to be using the ProRes codec....
Thoughts?

A few weeks ago I updated my OS to 10.4 and last week to 10.4.9.
Has been running OK until today. When I started up, I got the
light gray screen with the gray Apple logo and dial-thing. Then
instead of refreshing into the blue screen with the startup progress
bar (the one before the login screen), the computer refreshed
into a light gray screen with four black rectangles (bricks) across
the top of the screen. Haven't seen this described before.

I did experience a Kernel panic a few days ago - but
restart was OK as were at least 4 subsequent boots:

Update:
Reinstall of the 10.4.9 updater using 10.4.0
partition as startup disk resolved the issue,
but Safari crashed whenever it encountered
secure website "https" and it did not do
that with the previous 10.4.9 installation.
10.4.10 did not resolve the problem, but
now running the new Safari and 10.4.11
things seem OK so far.

G3 B&W, 450 Mhz, 704Mb RAM, DVD-ROM Mac OS X (10.4.9) two internal HDs - one running 9.2.2 - other with 10.4.9 and 10.4.0 partitions

Grant:
The four bricks on gray background is a Display/Driver problem of some kind.
What display card are you running?
My first thought was a display problem - but the card seems OK (info below)
because tartups from any disk other than the one running 10.4.9 are OK.
If the driver were bad would one expect to see the
Gray Apple start-up? Do you think reinstalling the 10.4.9 Combo
is the best first approach to resolve the problem?
Thanks so much!

Can't print image - black rectangle is printed

Hello to all the java experts
I try to print an icon (gif file), therefore I draw the image into Graphics2D object. Sometimes when I changes the borders of the image a black rectangle is printed.
For example:
Image iisLogo=getToolkit().getImage("\\\\hostname\\TapiTkina\\logoMTI2.gif");
pg2.drawImage(iisLogo,0,0,400,70,null);
prints ok, but:
pg2.drawImage(iisLogo,0,0,400,60,null);
prints a black rectangle.
Why is it happen? What can I do to solve it?

Thanks for your reply - the path is correct but you gave me another idea. The second command drawImage() was performed before the first command (which loaded the image) had finished. Therefore I have loaded the image at the begining of my program (in order to be sure that its loading was finished) and it fixed the problem.
Thanks a lot again

Is there a way to view apps as a list instead of icons?

Is there a way to view apps as a list instead of icons?

Doesn't anyone else have this desire?
It seems most people are used to seeing lists on all desktop computers. I almost never see anyone viewing files as icons when doing serious work. I'm stumped as to why this would not be an option for the iphone.
Can anyone offer a reason why Apple would confine us to icon view for apps?
Imagine if you could only view your contacts as icons? Or your itunes tracks?
Come on, what gives?

I have an iphone 4s why does it have a black screen instead of my background picture when I get a text message?

I have an iphone 4S why does it have a black screen instead of my background picture when I get a text message?

When you see the old number come up in the suggested choices look for a blue arrow to the right of the Contact. Tap the blue arrow and then tap Remove from Recents.
