Liquify Cursor disappears when Saving and Loading Mesh (CC 2014.2.2)

Hello.
I'm using Photoshop CC 2014.2.2 for Mac on a perfectly built hackintosh (Yosemite, i7-4770K, GTX770, Intuos5 L, 32Gb RAM, 2 monitors).
The arrow cursor disappears randomly when dragged over the Save Mesh or Load Mesh dialogues. It's not that the arrow cursor disappears completely. Actually, instead of switching from liquify cursor to arrow cursor as it should, it stays a circle and I can see it behind the save/load mesh window. In order to make the arrow appear in front of the save/load mesh, I have to move it out of it, and carefully move it back in. If I drag the save/load mesh window to an area of the screen clear of the liquify filter window or to my second screen, the problem goes away.
Also, when liquifying, the cursor is a little laggy, like at a low frame rate and behind my pen. I can liquify with no problem, but I can't remember if this is the way the liquify cursor behaves now that the it is GPU accelerated.
All these problems go away if I disable "use graphics processor", but that's a no go for me. I have tried both OS X Default Graphic Driver and NVIDIA Web Driver, but it makes no difference.
Any ideas?
THANKS!

I've noticed it happens particularly when the arrow touches any of the text input fields, among other ways I haven't identified yet. The save mesh and load mesh are the only dialogs across Photoshop on which this problem happens.
Notice that the blue cursor drawn by me is where the cursor should be, and note that the liquify cursor can be seen behind the open mesh dialogue. In this case I have to draw the cursor outside of the open window, and drag it back in making sure I don't touch the search field.

Cursor disappears when using Photoshop, anyone else?

My cursor disappears when using Photoshop, I have to leave the program to get it back. Happens constantly since installing 10.8.3.
Was fine for years, until I upgraded my OS

NEW, 1ST TIME POST
I'd like to see some real effort on the part of Apple to 1) address the issue and 2) post a fix.
I've been using the same equipment for several years (27" iMac and a Wacom Intous4). Everything was lovely until 'upgrading' to the latest OS… The cursor dissappears at will. I can NOT predict the event, only that I have only found it occurring in Photoshop.
Contacted Wacom. No help there.
I got VERY tired of having to close PS to get the cursor back. My tablet is hard-wired and my keyboard is an Apple wireless. Of course, w/o a cursor, how are you going to click on anything… Keyboard worked, but not the Wacom. Finally got out my wireless [Apple] mouse, fired it up, and used it as a 'backup' (for crashing my way out of PS). The mouse never interferred with operation. THOUGHT it was a Wacom problem, because I've yet to create the event with a normal mouse. I admit I rarely, RARELY use a mouse. Seems that I can't draw with a rock…
Aggravated by the lack of interest across the board, I discovered quite by accident one day a work-around: flip to a different desktop and then right back. Voila. Cursor is back. I've got 4 desktops available, so it is a quick CTL + arrow. My work-around works for me WITHOUT FAIL. Pay attention Apple/Adobe/Wacom. Apparently something here is refreshing whatever and solving the problem. Until the next time, of course.
Apple - Adobe - Wacom, please don't think we're 'satisfied' and we'll fix it in the NEXT mulit-thousand dollar computer/OS/tablet purchase. I love the products, but with this latest OS, you have a perfect storm of bugs (don't ask me about dropping the Internet DAILEY, s-l-o-w to non-existent blutooth connectivity, new 3D weird actions or [insert drumroll] 'THE CLOUD').
Call any of those listed and get ready for a raft of denial and finger-pointing. I admit, you quickly find yourself somewhere like the Phillipines or India, trying to talk to someone who can't converse with you in you own language, but that is NOT the fault of us, the end-users.
Finally: 'Caps lock'? Please. Give the guy SOME credit. Maybe the light was burnt out on the keyboard?
C'mon. Get with it guys!! Denial mixed with 'passing the buck' is not an answer. And you want MORE MONEY out of me?????
I agree with lkooz, break out the Beseler — I'll get the trays ready…

Cursor disappears when Rt-justify numeric data items

Folks,
Why does my cursor disappear when Rt-justify numeric data items ?
It does appear again when I actually start typing a dollar amount. Note that my item is a Number value in a database block and my format mask is $9,999,999.99 .
Thank you,
Bob

Sorry, I copied in the incorrect link. Try this post: Field text Disappears And I found the other bugs I was thinking of: 379621 and 398900.

Saving and Loading specific properties of an Image

Hey everyone. I'm currently in the process of developing a game which allows you to customize the color (hue) of your character via a slider. What I would like to happen is: Upon clicking either Accept or Play, it will save the current hue of the image, navigating back to that page will load what was previously saved (hue), as well as when starting the game, it will replace the standard graphic with the previously saved image.
Below is the code I have right now that pertains to the image with a basic non-functioning properly saving and loading code:
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
// open a local shared object called "myStuff", if there is no such object - create a new one
var savedstuff:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("myStuff");
Accept.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, SaveData);
PlayBTN.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, LoadData);
function SaveData(MouseEvent){
           savedstuff.data.username = Sliders.Dino.MovieClip // changes var username in sharedobject
           savedstuff.flush(); // saves data on hard drive
function LoadData(event: MouseEvent)
           if(savedstuff.size>0){ // checks if there is something saved
           Sliders.Dino.MovieClip = savedstuff.data.username} // change field text to username variable
// if something was saved before, show it on start
if(savedstuff.size>0){
Sliders.Dino.MovieClip = savedstuff.data.username}
What I have above is only saving the actual image, which is inside a movie clip names Sliders.
Below is the Class I am using that associates with the slider that changes the hue of "Dino".
package
          import flash.display.Sprite;
          import fl.motion.AdjustColor;
          import flash.filters.ColorMatrixFilter;
          import fl.events.SliderEvent;
          public class Main extends Sprite
                    private var color:AdjustColor = new AdjustColor();
                    private var filter:ColorMatrixFilter;
                    public function Main():void
                              /* Required to create initial Matrix */
                              color.brightness = 0;
                              color.contrast = 0;
                              color.hue = 0;
                              color.saturation = 0;
                              /* Add Listeners function */
                              addListeners();
                    private final function addListeners():void
                              colorPanel.hueSL.addEventListener(SliderEvent.CHANGE, adjustHue);
                    private final function adjustHue(e:SliderEvent):void
                              color.hue = e.target.value;
                              update();
                    private final function update():void
                              filter = new ColorMatrixFilter(color.CalculateFinalFlatArray());
                              Dino.filters = [filter];
Overall what I'm asking for is: How do I get it to save the current hue of an image by clicking a button, and then having that previously saved image be loaded upon reloading or clicking a button? To me, it doesn't seem like it should be too hard, but for some reason I can not grasp it.
Thanks in advance for reading this and for any assistance you have to offer!

This is the Class that you told me to use:
package
          import flash.display.Sprite;
          import fl.motion.AdjustColor;
          import flash.filters.ColorMatrixFilter;
          import fl.events.SliderEvent;
          import flash.net.SharedObject;
          public class Main extends Sprite
                    private var color:AdjustColor = new AdjustColor();
                    private var filter:ColorMatrixFilter;
                    private var so:SharedObject;
                    public function Main():void

                              color.saturation = 0;
                              so = SharedObject.getLocal("myStuff");
                              if (so.data.hue)
                                        color.hue = so.data.hue;
                              else
                                        color.hue = 0;
                              update();
                              addListeners();
                    private final function addListeners():void
                              colorPanel.hueSL.addEventListener(SliderEvent.CHANGE, adjustHue);
                    private final function adjustHue(e:SliderEvent):void
                              color.hue = e.target.value;
                              so.data.hue = color.hue;
                              so.flush();
                              update();
                    private final function update():void
                              filter = new ColorMatrixFilter(color.CalculateFinalFlatArray());
                              Dino.filters = [filter];
And this is the FLA Code:
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
// open a local shared object called "myStuff", if there is no such object - create a new one
var savedstuff:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("myStuff");
Accept.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, SaveData);
PlayBTN.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, LoadData);
function SaveData(MouseEvent)
          savedstuff.data.username = Sliders.Dino.MovieClip;// changes var username in sharedobject
          savedstuff.flush();
          // saves data on hard drive;
function LoadData(event: MouseEvent)
          if (savedstuff.size > 0)
          {// checks if there is something saved
                    Sliders.Dino.MovieClip = savedstuff.data.username;
          }// change field text to username variable
// if something was saved before, show it on start
if (savedstuff.size > 0)
          Sliders.Dino.MovieClip = savedstuff.data.username;

Type cursor disappearing when editting code

Hello all,
i am encountering a problem where the typing cursor disappears when im editting my code. This really is ennoying and bothers the heck out of me.
Especially when im navigating trough the code using the arrow keys - i simply can't see where i'm at in the code.
Right now i am very disapointed because it has taken me months pondering, whether or not to sign up for Creative Cloud (Student membership).
Now that i finally singed for a year's commitment, i see the code editor is virtually unusable because of the cursor-in-hiding....
Hopefully this issue will be fixed sooner than later or i will have to cancel my subscription and deny Adobe from charging my credit card for the monthly fee :-(
Has anyone else been undergoing the same problem, and maybe fixed it?
Gr.
Niels

That is a known issue to Adobe. Apparently, it's a defect caused by the new code highlighting behavior. You can submit an official bug report here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

Cursor disappears when a video using Flash is in Safari

Hello,
My cursor disappears whenever I'm on a web page (using Safari) that uses Flash for video. It is 100% repeatable on any Flash/video website. On my other machine (an iMac running Snow Leopard) this does not happen.
If you would like to see what I'm talking about, as an example, go here:
http://vimeo.com/
Let the page load so that the "introductory" video can play. While it's playing, move your cursor anywhere on top of the video that's playing and watch it disappear. It's hard to find it again.
Any thoughts? Thanks.
(I'm using a MacBook Pro. Operating system is 10.7.1 Lion. All software updates are complete. The battery is charged, the computer is turned on, and it is plugged into electricity. I did a search of this forum and found one other question regarding this same topic, but nobody had answered it.)

The behaviour I get is that if the cursor is left on top of the video, it disappears after a second or two. As soon as I move the mouse or trackpad, it reappears. Which is exactly what I would want to happen. Perhaps when you are "waking up" the cursor you are doing so with a large random movement of the trackpad? It only takes the slightest movement to make it reappear more or less where you left it.
There is, of course, always the option of parking the cursor somewhere else on the screen where you will not lose it.

Cursor disappears when using FF EpubReader--doesn't reappear with reboot.

I make ebooks for authors/publishers. I have them install FF with the EpubReader addon to proof first "drafts" of the epubs. One author, who has successfully used this method for two books, suddenly has no I-beam cursor whatsoever in the EpubReader frame. The cursor is an arrow when on whitespace on the EPR page; but when placed over text, the cursor disappears. Rebooting the computer has not helped, and it's now happening with all of her epubs in that FF & EpubReader installation. The cursor works fine in every other app.
Client is 1,000 miles from me, but does have a local tech guy who can assist if I can point him in the correct direction.
I really need help with this, there's no other viable way for my clients to proof these epubs.

ActiveX controls disappear when VI is loaded in a Sub-Panel with Start Modal Dialog usage

Hi,
I have a subpanel in a VI (VI1) in which another VI (VI2) is loaded. VI1 is used as a module for an Action step in TestStand. VI2 has ActiveX controls like ExpressionEdit and Adobe PDF reader etc. VI1 loads VI2 in a sub-panel and calls Start Modal Dialog.vi. I have set 'Show front panel when called' to true for VI1 so that the VI pops up when the sequence is run. When the sequence runs and when the Start Modal Dialog VI is called from VI1, all ActiveX controls in VI2 (loaded in the sub-panel) disappears. Here is the screenshot of the frontpanel of VI1 when the sequence is run:
This problem occurs in TestStand 4.2.1, TestStand 2010 and TestStand 2010 SP1 (as far as I have tested. May occur in older versions too). In the attached file, VI1 is 'ExprEdit Test.vi' and VI2 is 'SubpanelLoad.vi'. The attached sequence is developed in TestStand 2010 SP1.
How can this issue be solved?
Thank you,
Ganesh Kumar

Subpanel Load ExpressionEdit problem.zip ‏23 KB

Hi,
An update on this issue: I tried changing the order of loading the VI in the SubPanel and the start modal dialog. I called start modal dialog and then loaded the VI (VI2) in the SubPanel. When I ran the sequence, the activeX controls did not disappear (I was pretty sure that the ActiveX controls in VI2 would not disappear since I am calling Start Modal Dialog before loading the VI in the Subpanel). Then I just changed the sequence of operations back to the previous order (loading the Subpanel with the VI and then calling the Start Modal Dialog). When I ran the sequence, the activeX controls where still displayed. But when I ran the sequence with the VI1 backup (that I had taken before making all these modifications) the activeX controls were not displayed. I a nutshell, I now have 2 versions whose codes are the same. But when I run the sequence with action steps for these VIs, the activeX controls disappear when the unmodified backup VI runs and does not disappear when the modified VI is run. I have attached the files that I used along with the sequence file. The details are as follows:
ExprEdit Test (Not Working).vi - The unmodified backup VI for which the ActiveX controls disappear.
ExprEdit Test (Working).vi - The modified VIs in which the ActiveX Controls do not disappear (But same code as ExprEdit Test (Not Working).vi).
ExpreEdit Test.seq - The sequence file containing 2 action steps one each for theabove mentioned VIs.
SubpanelLoad.vi - The VI that contains activeX controls and is loaded in the SubPanel.
Note that the sequence is created in TestStand 4.2.1.
Thank you,
Ganesh Kumar

Journal entry disappears after saving and not available to post

Hi Gurus
On BPC for Netweaver version 7.5 and excel 2003 i am able to save the journal entry but am not able to post it since it disappears after saving. I could see the Journal ID being generated and then the layout gets cleared . i am unable to post this journal. Also when i go to journal manager and tries to list the journals this saved journal does not show up.
I have already set the application parameter "JRN_MAXCOUNT" to 1000 so that i can see the journals that i create.
Have any of you faced such an issue?
Regards

Hi Tara,
Thank you very much for your tip. I had Datasource as one of the header fields and i moved it to the item fields to make it work. I am still not sure why does that. May be because when we create the journal template system proposes only the required fields in Header and if select additional ones its not liking it.
I cannot come up with a reasoning why we cannot incorporate a non required field in header journal template . The obvious reason that i included the datasource dimension in header itself was because it was a common value that i want to use for all my journals.
Anyway i hope SAP would either fix this or come up with a reasoning.
Thanks again..

Cursor disappears when writing text?

I have a frustrating problem in CS3 that when writing a block of text, either with text tool or area text tool, that the cursor disappears. I need to see its new position after using the space bar or tab: ready to input the next piece of text.
It seems to be flashing some of the time if I click into the middle of the text block, but disappears where I want to continue it at the bottom of the text block?

This bug is still in Illustrator CS5
And it depends on aplication main window size!
Especialy if you have two monitors, document window is outside the main window and main application window is not maximized.
If you have application window smaller, than document window (in height), then where document height is still bellow application window height,
there you can see cursor. If you are editing text in position which is over the main application height, there is not cursor visible.
So, my solution is:
Resize main application window to the maximum size.
(And maybe you will need restart Illustrator)
(UPDATE: It depends on window width too! )

My brush cursor disappear when i zoom in

Hi,
My Photoshop has been upgraded to CS5.5 now.
When I used my circle brush tool before, I can see the size of my brush in a circle so
I know where to paint. Now this circle is disappearing when I use my brush tool when zooming in the picture.
I did change the Cursors in Perferences, I set it to Normal Brush Tip and Full Size Brush Tip.
Same thing again. I could only see the whole circle brush when looking at my image at 100%.
When I zoom in more than 100%, circle brush is gone and is replaced with a quarter circle.
See the image before.
Do anyone know what I'm missing and what setup I need to make in order to bring back
the normal brush cursor?
Thanks.

Most likely, like other people posting this exact same problem in this forum, you have an older NVidia video card driver that you haven't updated in the past year or two.
Go update the driver from NVidia's web site.

An issue whereby Photoshop .PSD files disappear when saved to a network file share

It has been reported and reproduced by Support, an issue whereby Photoshop .PSD files disappear when they’re saved to a network file share.
Upon initial investigations Support have observed the following behaviour when saving a Photoshop file.
The document is initially saved as a new file on the file share.
The original .PSD file is deleted on the file share.
The newly created file is renamed to the same name as the original file.
An issue often arises when steps 1 and 2 complete however step 3 fails. When a file is reported by users as having disappeared, the new file created in step 1 can be renamed from .00_ to the original *.PSD file name on the server as the *.00_ files are normally hidden by the desktop operating system. This allows people to see and open the file from both PC’s and MAC’s using AFP and SMB protocols.
A related issue often reported by users is that they receive an error message “Could not save as” when trying to save a .PSD file. Troubleshooting the issue confirms that the user is able to save the file if they perform a “Save As” operation in Photoshop.
From the reported problems and observations there is clearly an issue with how Photoshop performs a file save operation further exacerbated by the fact the process doesn’t fail safely.

Sounds like you're hitting one of the known MacOS filesystem bugs - worst when working with SMB volumes.
Apple knows about this, and we are pursuing workarounds to the OS bugs.
Yeah, if you value your files, don't save directly to servers, especially on MacOS.

Brush cursor disappears when zoomed in.

Hello,
As the title states and like many of you on here, I am having mucho issues with PS CS4. I'm running a dell precision 490 with xp x64, a quad-core 2.6ghz, 16gb ram, and an nvidia quadro fx 4600. I can't see why I am having issues other than x64 causing some of it. Anyhow, after running the opengl registry fix, now when I zoom in my brush cursor disappears or is just a fragment of the cursor. I'm using the suggested GPU driver, but am considering trying a beta version that I have found. Has anyone else had a similar experience with this and how did you fix it? Thanks in advance and thank god I still have CS2 installed.

As already mentioned a few dozen times: update your video card driver. This was a known problem with drivers that has already been fixed for most card/OS combinations.

Layers disappear when saving in CS6

My layers disappear when I try to save in Photoshop CS6. They disappear when I get to the last step before saving(where you can select the quality and stuff). The effects stay, but they become kind of crappy. I've no idea how this happened either. I was just working on some pictures one by one, and then suddenly, it started happening. I did nothing differently.
Reinstalling didn't help either. What the hell is going on?

You're seeing normal behaviour/results. Most image file formats do not support layers and there can be subtle to huge differences in the display of a layered doc versus its flattened composite because Photoshop uses imprecise shortcuts to generate the composited display of a layered doc. The display discrepancies can be minimised by viewing at 100% zoom.
While working on a document, check adjustment layers, effects and layer blending with zoom at 100% so there are no nasty surprises lurking in the doc. (Of course, I realise that there's a very good chance that you may be viewing only a small region of an image when zoom is 100%.)
Regarding the JPEG save in particular: when you are at the stage of picking quality/compression, there is an option of previewing the result of the compression. JPEG doesn't support layers, hence the flattened composite at that stage. Your open doc will still be layered after you commit the save.

Cursor disappears when iMac wakes since installing Mavericks

Since installing mavericks on my iMac (Intel), the cursor sometimes disappears when the computer wakes. I have to shut down and restart to get it back. Anyone have a solution?

Stop sleepiing the computer and its HDs, only the display. Never had your issue and have been running this way for years 24/7.
