Mac windows cut off files at right hand edge

In most apps, I choose to open a window to look for a file.
After about two or three steps down in the hierarchy (I'm at 1440x900 monitor resolution) I have to drag to expand the window or the rightmost file list is cut off by the edge of the window.
Why doesn't the window scroll as you progress down through nested folders, so the contents of your most recently inspected folder are completey visible?
Is this a bug, a "feature" of the OS or a setting that I can change somewhere?
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5) minimal RAM (512MB) installed

Okay, the problem transpires to be one with OSX. If you see this problem then the solution is quite simple
============
The OS X version of Lightroom (the app itself) has a bug with rendering panels that causes interior content to sometimes overextend the width of the column. It doesn't happen all the time, but it will happen from time to time.
To fix the issue, hover over the vertical divider between the work area and the panels, click, hold, and expand the panels all the way to the left until you stop. Then quit/relaunch Lightroom. The panel content should reset and be back in view.

  • Open files window cuts off file name and features date

    How do I change this annoying behavior?   Happens every time I need to open a new file within InDesign.

    That's a standard Mac dialog...
    Grab the right edge dividing line on the Name column label and drag it to the right.

    I get a message: The content list cannot be created for compressing.
    I tried it with files and folders and keep getting this message. Anybody any idea as to how to fix this

    Thanks I love my macbook!!!!
    I also got further problems such as copy-paste not working etc.

  • Pictures in e-mail are cut off on the right side.

    some pictures in e-mail are cut off on the right side. When I zoom out the text gets smaller but the picture stays the same

    Sounds like the webpage you are on isn't optimized for devices with touch screens. I would suggest attempting to use a different web browser such as atomic browser or any of the other ones in the App Store. Otherwise you may have to resort to using a Mac/PC to do your homework.

  • My Oracle Support documents print with text cut off on the right margin

    Just a question to check if more people have this issue. When I try to print a document from the knowledge base on My Oracle Support (MOS) it always prints with a lot of text being cut off on the right margin of the page. I tried this with different workstations, OS'es (XP Pro, W7), browsers (IE6, IE8), printers, etc. but it's always the same result. My only workaround is to copy all text and paste it into a text editor. I've logged a service request for this, but Oracle doesn't really seem to care about it and after pointing me to setting margins in Microsoft Publisher (???) and an article on how to export tables on MOS, they pointed to the HTML version of MOS (which has exactly the same issue by the way) and our local IS department for printing preferences. Apparently they cannot replicate this on their workstations, whereas I can replicate at will on a load of different workstations. I know that it's best not to print on paper and read on the screen, but even printing to a PDF writer will cut off text. Does anyone have the same issue with printing documents from MOS?

  • How to move the Firefox 'close window' x icon to the right-hand corner?

    I've just been given the option to upgrade my Ubuntu Linux (from Karmic Koala to Lucid Lynx). Although the updated colour scheme and Fire fox look great, one annoyance is that the 'close window' X-icon has moved from the right-hand corner to the left-hand corner.
    As a right-handed person, my mouse pointer drifts over to the right-hand side of windows, so moving this icon from the right corner to the left corner doesn't make sense to me, as a right-handed person (~90% of the world are right-handed?).
    I know that there's almost definitely a keyboard shortcut for 'close window' but I would like to see the 'Close window' 'x' back in the right-hand corner, or an option/preference to put it back where it always used to be! (as far as I know...).
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == When I upgraded Firefox to 3.6.3 as part of Ubuntu upgrade from KK to LL release. Think I might have been running an older 3.6.x version of Firefox prior to this.

    This problem is not particular to Firefox but rather a design scheme that is applied to all programs running Lucid Lynx.
    Solution 1.
    Go to System > Preferences > Appearance. Choose a Theme that has the right orientation rather than the left.
    Solution 2.
    Open up a Terminal and run this snippet to move everything to the right again:
    gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string menu:minimize,maximize,close

  • Why do my margins get cut off when I right click print, but not when I open my document and print?

    When I right click print (without opening the document) my margins get cut off, but if I actally open my pdf document and click print, it will print just fine.  This only happens when the document has print that is close to the edge.
    I am using Adobe 10.1.2 with Windows 7.
    Thank you in advance for your thoughts and help

    As for your comment on this being my first Mac, and the program issue, you misunderstood. Yes the eMac is in fact my first, personally owned, Mac computer other than the original Apple II series floppy fed PC, in which me and my father owned. The only other Apple/Macintosh computer I had experience on was my father's 13" MacBook Pro, and 20" iMac (both ran OSX Tiger 10.4.11, just as the one I have know runs). The iMac was upgraded to Snow Leopard due to our need for better picture/video/audio editing software such as that of Adobe, and the Macbook Pro was sold because of a business that was started being siphoned out of money. I purchased the eMac from a small business based off of eBay. It had the majority of OSX Tiger software, only missing minor programs like Photobooth. Other than that, it had no wireless software like BlueTooth, Wi-Fi capabilities, wireless sync, ect... But alas, when you buy a Apple/Mac computer, you must take a few cutbacks when purchasing it (even refurb.) for around $120.00 including taxing, shipping, handling, ect... I purchased nearly all of my software from co-workers and friends who had an extra key, or I would receive the software disc from them, and buy a key. The only "illegal" thing I had on the computer was music I had downloaded from LimeWire. I have never, and will never, trust any software coming from a torrent download site.

  • Running FF3.6.8 on Windows 7, 3 window buttons not in top right hand corner ( minimize, maximize and exit) . how do i get these to appear ?

    when FF 3.6.8 loads it loads everything except the the classic window buttons (minimize, maximize and exit ) do not appear in the top right hand corner as the normally would. it seems as though the page has been cut off or the monitor screen is to little for the whole page to load.

    It is possible that the screen is too wide or too high.
    Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.
    If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.

  • Appleworks Database cut off data on right side of field?

    Help!! I am working with Appleworks 6.2.9 on a G4 PowerBook running OS 10.3.4. I have created a database that prints a 5-6 sentence summary of each of my lessons. When I print this layout, it cuts off the right hand side of the field. The last 2 letter on each line are missing. The layout looks fine on the computer. It is not the end of the page. It prints other things to the right of the field. It just cuts off the text in a particular field.

    Hello
    Have you tried to replace the font as written in my late post ?
    You may also try to check the checkbox:
    AppleWorks > Preferences > General > Text > Fractional Characters Widths
    This may have an impact on the way characters are displayed.
    Remember, since the delivery of Tiger, some details are odd in the way AppleWorks items are displaye because internal treatment is always based on Quickdraw rendering but it is really done with Quartz. It seems that this may give odd results for strings's lengths.
    Differences are quite invisible with many fonts but are visible with some ones.

  • RH8 HTML: WebHelp on Mac OSX cuts off search pane

    Hi,
    I generate Webhelp using a skin.
    It looks fine on the PC in IE7 and Firefox 3.5.8.
    On Mac OS 10.4 using Safari or Firefox (latest versions), the text that is at the top of the search pane is cut off by the search results pane.
    Here is how the search pane looks in browsers on the PC (correct):
    And here is how it looks in FF and Safari on the Mac (incorrect - "Search results per page" and checkbox are covered by lower results pane):
    Is there some way to prevent this from happening on the Mac? I need to produce a single webhelp file that can be viewed using both platforms.
    Thanks for info,
    Jeanne

    Praful,
    Your solution worked perfectly! Thanks you so much for your very quick reply.
    Another fix is also required (to fix a similar problem on the Index pane)
    In the same folder, edit the file whidhtml.htm and change:
    if (gbMac)
      strWrite="<FRAMESET ROWS='60,100%' framespacing=0  frameborder=0>";
    I just have to add that I am absolutely amazed at the quick reply I received after filing this as a bug report.
    Sincerely,
    Jeanne

  • QuickTime Pro for Windows cuts off after about a second?

    Pro version of QuictTime worked fine at first on Vista 32bit. (Don't judge me becasue I'm using Vista, please!) Used it for video editing last fall. Now I find any video or audio file I try to play cuts off at about 1 minute. Only way to get it to play an entire movie is to turn on "Play All Frames" or else mess with playback speed -- and in both cases audio gets turned off. I have tried resetting just about every preference and view setting I can find. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Was especially careful to make sure I did not have playbe restricted by means of "Play Selection Only." Furthermore, teh start-stop bracketting controls have no effect.
    This happens with all kind of video and audio tracks.
    I am at a total loss. Searched Windows Registry for something amiss but found nothing. Even being a software developer myself I just don't see what is amiss. Could this be due to some nasty codec? Conflict with other software? Only new media software on this machine I know of is Adobe's and I never even use that.
    Help?

    I haven't [yet] tried it with other M4V files, but I will and get back to you.
    BTW, after it crashed, I restarted QuickTime and opened the newly-created "self contained" movie and it seemed to play OK,  So despite the inconvenience of having to restart, the crash didn't seem to affect the end product of my work.

    In that situation, I have no idea. I haven't used popups

    someone else will know.

  • My mac randomly cut off and it won't turn back on, what do I do?

    I just bought my mac the other day and I was about to Facetime someone and it randomly cut off and it will not do anything. It wont even charge. I don't know anything about computers so I have no clue what to do. PLEEEAAASSSEEE HEELLPP!!

    If it's new, then it is under warranty. Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service. If it is a used computer then you need to provide more information. If your battery will not take a charge, then either the charger is not working or the battery needs to be replaced or both.

  • CS4: Publish Settings window cut off

    When I bring up Publish Settings, the window the comes up is
    cut off on my MacBook. I can't grab it and move it down into the
    center of the screen since the top of it is out of reach. Probably
    easier to just check out the screen grab:
    http://hansen-photo.com/cutoff.png
    Any idea how I can fix this?
    Thanks

    Okay, I think this is officially a bug. I temporarily
    installed Mercury Mover so that I could reposition the Publish
    Settings window. Problem solved. Except that that next time I
    brought up the Publish Settings, it was back in the same old
    position with the top cut off.
    New question: How do I report a bug to Adobe?
