Line weight dialogue box won't highlight in CS6

Added to my list of frustrations with CS6 is that when I choose the Line tool using pixels the "Weight" field in the horizontal bar won't highlight when I click in it. It took numerous attempts to realize that I can change it even though it won't show that it's highlighted. It also then highlights intermittently.
Documenting all the bugs in this "beta" 13.0.5 version would be a full time job. Why aren't the employees who are paid by Adobe able to do this work effectively?
Unbelievable

Installed as another user-set to admin, but this means I cannot work on any of my existing sites (since they are assigned to the other user- got error message). really hard to troubleshoot this way.
Created a new page and did as many quick tasks I I could think of, but did not get the box.
Logged out and then back in as original user to work on another site and was able to do a few tasks before the box popped up again. Once the box pops up, it's regularly every 5 seconds in all modes source, preview or layout
I had had Leopard installed for a few weeks before this problem started.
Could I have missed purging the offending Adobe file in the last reinstall I did on the main user?
Is there an Apple pref that might have something to do with it?
Prefs were easy, but it seems as though CS3 and CS2 Suites have some common named files in the Library. I am installing from the Suite disks. If I completely remove all the files that the CS2 deinstall instructions say to delete, can I be assured that I won't be deleting a critical CS3 file of the same name?
Would love to disable that highlight function any way possible -I've never used it.

  • "Highlight Property Value" dialogue box won't go away! Help! CS2

    Have a page that I'm working on, now every 5 seconds or so a box pops up "Highlight Property Value" asking me to enter name and value of CSS property. No amount of canceling or entering data gets rid of it.
    Never have seen this box in all my years of GoLive.
    Tried quitting and reopening GL, but still there.

  • TS1702 iPad won't power off - dialogue box won't disappear

    Hi, there is a dialogue box saying 'Your rental movie has expired' and it's asking me to press ok.  I press ok but nothing happens.  Nothing else works because the dialogue box just stays there.  Troubleshooting recommends to power of the iPad, but it won't let me use the slide button to power off - because the dialogue box overrides it.  Any advice?  Thanks!

    Have you tried a soft reset...hold both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears in the center of the screen and the unit restarts.

  • REGISTRATION UNSUCCESFUL DIALOGUE BOX WON'T GO AWAY

    I am running Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard under Windows 8.1 running on a new Lenovo laptop, which I bought when my old Vista laptop stopped running.  Whenever I start up Acrobat, a dialogue box appears headed "Registration unsuccesful." Beneath that there is an error message saying "A problem was encountered while trying to send information over the Internet."  If I simply close the dialogue box, and later shut down Acrobat, the dialogue box simply reappears the next time I start up Acrobat.
    The dialogue box has three radio buttons, one for each of three options.  The first option is "Try submitting the online registration again".  Selecting that option has no effect - the dialogue window flashes for a moment and then returns to normal.  The second options is "Register later (you will have to fill out the registration form again".  Selecting that option makes the dialogue box close, but if I then shut down Acrobat and re-open it,  the dialogue box appears again almost immediately.  The third option is "Never register".  If I select that option, the effect is similar to that for the second option - that is, the dialogue box closes, but shutting down and re-opening Acrobat causes the same dialogue box to reappear almost immediately. 
    This is very frustrating and irritating!  What can I do to stop the dialogue box reappearing?  I should like to register, but whenever I go to the Help menu and select "Registration..." the same dialogue box appears, and behaves in the same way.  Could this be connected to the fact that I first registered Acrobat 8 from my old Vista machine, which is no longer working?  Is is relevant that my copy of Acrobat, which originally came with my Fujitsu ScanSnap scanner, comprises Acrobat 6 on CD and an upgrade to Acrobat 8 Standard on another CD?  I never had any trouble on my old Vista machine, which I can no longer get to start up properly (so I cannot remove Acrobat from that machine).

    Just a small correction: my "old Vista machine" had, as I now belatedly remember, been upgraded to Windows 7.  My copy of Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard ran without any registration problems under both Vista and Windows 7.

  • Dialogue box won't close in pages

    Help! I have a dialogue box frame that is stuck open in Pages. I have restarted Pages and also rebooted my MacBook Pro. When I relaunch Pages, the dialogue box frame still appears in front of (or on top of) any pages document I open.  How do I make it go away?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    A possible reason could be the antivirus scanning happening in the background after the downloading has finished and Firefox writes to disk the final file. Please also check if this happens in a [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles new profile] though this may not be helpful if antivirus scanning is an issue.

  • The ICloud backup dialogue box won't go away and won't allow me to do anything on my phone, an I5

    The ICloud Backup dialogue box has come up on my I5.  It will not cancel, nor allow me to do anything on my phone, even power off.

    Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until your device restarts, so you will be able to use it again

  • Merge to HDR Pro Dialogue box won't open.

    I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this question but here goes. I can't get the dialogue box to open in Merge to HDR Pro in CS5. After I import the files it seems to go thru the process but then PS just goes blank as if I just opened it.

    Proper place is the photoshop forum.
    You could try and replace the preference file and see if thats the culprit. On windows hold down ctrl, alt, and shift key at photoshop's bootup. I don't know the Mac's equivalent. You can also search for the preference file itself and delete or move to a safe location and let photoshop recreate the file. By moving the file, you can always put it back, if your not sure whats happening.

  • "Highlight Property Value" dialogue box won't go away

    It's baaaack...
    I had this problem last year and had to install a new OS for it to go away.
    Here's video of the problem:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RocOO8ppxc
    Error in Golive CS2 that will not go away- even trashing all GL prefs and reinstalling program. Box shows up repeatedly with any mouse action to the GL screen. Mac G5 Dual 2.7 OS 10.5.7 (but also did this a year ago with 10.5.2) Have no idea what I can do aside from a new system install.
    Occurs on sites I've opened lately (about 5).
    Any thoughts?

    Here's the response from the excellent PopChar support:
    Original solution from them: I do this with GL open.
    Please click the font pop-up in the PopChar window (with the question mark in front of the font name) and turn the "As in Document" option off. Let me know if this helps. I'm pretty sure it will.
    Seems to solve the problem.
    What exactly was triggering the problem in GoLive?
    This is hard to tell without knowing what is going on inside GoLive. When "As in Document" is active, PopChar uses a standard technique of Mac OS X to scan the menus of GoLive in order to find a checked font menu item. These techniques are part of the "accessibility" functionality of Mac OS X. Normally, this should work without any extra action of the front application, but when an application implements custom menus that are not built on top of the Mac OS X foundation, the application needs to implement additional functions to support accessibility with the custom menus. I suspect that an error in the handling of menus makes GoLive believe that it should open the "Highlight Propery Value" window when PopChar scans the menus.

  • Download Dialogue Box Won't Close

    Sometimes when I am downloading transactions through my financial software (Quicken) the Download Dialog box refuses to close, even though I've set it to do so at the end of a download.
    I found an article in the FF Help Database by using the search phrase "Hang downloading files" that says to either clear the downloads list/downloads history via the Tools pulldown or if that doesn't work, to delete the downloads.sqlite folder in my Profile. Well, I've had to delete the downloads.squlite folder several times, because after the intial removal of the file, the problem comes back.
    This problem has plagued me through 3 upgrades of FF from version 9 through to the present version of 10.0.2.

  • When I try to attach a file in Outlook, the dialogue box won't open completely.  I tried expanding it manually but it won't move.

    Attachments in Outlook

    Ok two things based on the crash report and the steps you took right before the crash:
    # Try to disable scrolling acceleration and restart Firefox. Does it continue to crash?
    # Try Safe Mode and do the same task as above with email and the pdf [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
    # Also pdf.js may be helpful to read pdfs in the meantime. You can change the default reader in the Preferences/Options > Application menu of Firefox.
    # Try to clear out the downloads folder and update flash to version 14 (that should do it)
    IF it crashes again please also provide the new crash signatures and we can take a look :-) Sorry for the crashing :-(

  • Help please - unable to open missing photos 'browse' dialogue box

    Hi All,
    new to the forum, but long time LR user.
    I have a problem with LR v.3.4.1 I have a few missing photos (quite a few actually) in my catalogue from when I moved hard drives in v1.  I jumped from v.1 to v3.  But used to be able to find them still.
    Now when I click the ? icon the browse dialogue box won't open.  Double clicking only switches from thumnail to full size - though there are no index images of these photos.
    I've checked the drives, the images still exist.  I tried re-iporting the images to see if that would bring them up as duplicates, but the LR finder would not see any images there.
    Since switching from v.1 to v.3 I have done quite a few shoots, and I'd be sad (no mortified!) to loose either bit of editing work.
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks
    Damian

    I should say, this is the case for both my Macbook Pro running v10.5.8
    and my new today, iMac running v10.6.7

  • Print dialogue box not opening with HDR image

    I created an HDR image using HDR Efex Pro 2 a month ago and printed it.  It is saved as a psd file.  I went to print it yesterday and the print dialogue box won't open. I've tried alt tab to check the box isn't open and hidden.  I've re-created the image and the result still won't open.  No other images are causing this problem.  It's probably something really simple and hopefully someone out there can shed light for me.  Thanks

    Thanks for that - I wondered about the 32 bit/channel but am bemused as to how I got the first print a month ago!!  Now toned which and in 16 bit and print dialogue box opened.
    Thanks guys

  • Line weight/thickness update

    Hey all,
    The line tool is not functionning too intuitively for me. It creates a line in a new layer - so far, so good - named "Shape n" (where n is its number). Why not "Line n" ? And then the line weight or thickness won't update when I go to the option bar, having the "path selection" tool on. I can change the colors though. Care to explain, if you've been there ?
    Thanks in advance for the support.
    Charles

    Wow, I knew I was mostly new to this, but I didn't think it was this bad. I say this because there's not a word in two I know the meaning of in your answer ^^
    I do however have ideas about this :
    1) So the line tool essentially creates a fully painted layer, but then masks it with a vector mask, and that mask has a hard time updating itself ?
    2) Stroke feature ? I'll look around for this one and see what this yields.
    3) Now, open or closed paths, what does that mean ? As in, the path loops on itself and surrounds a finite portion of the canvas' plane ? And at any rate, what's a subPathItem ?
    Thanks again for your concern.
