Mail opens new window and freezes

Has anyone ever had a problem where the message you have selected in the main mail window (list of messages at the top and full message displayed at the bottom) just all by itself opens in a new window then the new window freezes up and you can't close it, or the main window. If I quit mail and restart the program the second window also opens and again I can't close it. Restarting the computer seems to fix the problem for the time being.

This also just started happening on our iBook G4 running 10.4.7, fully updated. A new, blank email pops up after sending any mail and also at initial login. One odd thing is that the email is black, whereas the default for a new email has a signature on it, and Mail asks if you want to save the spontaneous mail when you go to close it, which it doesn't do usually.
To answer the previous enquiry before it's asked of me, the Mac has a bluetooth Apple mouse (one button), but the problem still occurs when using the trackpad.
It's a pain. I'm fairly tech but I can't work it out. Permissions have been repaired.

  • How to open new window and generate oracle report from apex

    Hi,
    I had created an application that generates PDF files using Oracle Reports, following this Guide.
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/howto_integrate_oracle_reports.html
    And I followed 'Advanced Technique', so that users can't generate PDF file by changing URL and parameters. This is done for security reasons.
    But in this tutorial, when 'Go' button is pressed, the PDF file is displayed on the same window of apex application. If so, user might close the window by mistake. In order to avoid this, another window have to be opened.
    So, I put this code in the BRANCH - URL Target. (Note that this is not in Optional URL Redirect in the button property, but the branch which is called by the button.)
    javascript:popupURL('&REPORTS_URL.quotation&P2100_REP_JOB_ID.')
    But if the button is pressed, I get this error.
    ERR-1777: Page 2100 provided no page to branch to. Please report this error to your application administrator.
    Restart Application
    If I put the code 'javascritpt ....' in the Optional URL Redirect, another window opens successfully, but the Process to generate report job is not executed.
    Does anyone know how to open new window from the Branch in this case?

    G'day Shohei,
    Try putting your javascript into your plsql process using the htp.p(); procedure.
    For example, something along these lines should do it:
    BEGIN
    -- Your other process code goes here...
    htp.p('<script type="javascript/text">');
    htp.p('popupURL("&REPORTS_URL.quotation&P2100_REP_JOB_ID.")');
    htp.p('</script>');
    END;
    What happens is the javascript is browser based whereas your plsql process is server based and so if you put the javascript into your button item Optional URL Redirect it is executed prior to getting to the page plsql process and therefore it will never execute the process. When you have it in your branch which normally follows the processes, control has been handed to the server and the javascript cannot be executed and so your page throws the error "Page 2100 provided no page to branch to"... By "seeding" the plsql process with the embedded javascript in the htp.p() procedure you can achieve the desired result. You could also have it as a separate process also as long as it is sequenced correctly to follow your other process.
    HTH
    Cheers,

  • I can't open new windows and add-ons aren't working.

    I recently scrubbed my hard drive due to virus issues in order to contain the virus before it spread. After installing Firefox I noticed that I was unable to open new windows, links that normally opened a new window for Firefox weren't working, and I can't access plug-ins like AdBlock Plus which I used frequently before. I've never had this problem before. I turned off all security settings and unplugged from the internet to see if that was the problem, but that didn't work. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, same deal.

    Hello Anand, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
    thank you

  • My firefox does not open new window and pop-up

    i can't open new window with firefox. my versian is up-date
    please help

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Open new Window and SWF conversion to DVD player

    Hi flash forum,
    I need help with 2 things:
    1. I have an html link that opens a .swf flash movie in a
    full window. I need the flash movie to open as a new window so when
    the user closes out, they're not closing out of the entire site.
    Can you send me the instructions for this?
    2. I need to convert a .swf flash movie so it will play on a
    standard home DVD player.
    Can this be done?
    Many thanks for the help!

    Hello, we have the same problem. I fixed it by doing this:
    <hcommandButton value="#{messages['srt.return.label']}" action="#{myBean.returnPage}" immediate="true" onclick="this.form.target='_self'" />^ The code above will remain in the same window.
    <h:commandButton value="#{messages['srt.export.label']}" action="#{myBean.excelExport}" immediate="true" onclick="this.form.target='_blank'"/>^ The code above will open a new window and display the data
    Hope that helps :) I don't know if that's the best solution out there, but it will work :)
    Note the usage of targets, blank will open a new window while self will stay in the same window :)

  • When I want to mail a web-page or link firefox keeps opening new windows and cannot be stopped.

    My laptop is a Samsung R730 (quite happy with it). I use Eudora for e-mailing. If I want to mail a web-page or link and click under 'file'to send it, Firefox starts opening new tabs without stopping up to over a hundred. I have to brutally switch off my lap-top, start agaiu. Restart Firefox which wants to open all the old tabs, click it off quickly. After that I can reopen to normal.

    You get that problem if you select the Firefox program to handle a file if you get an "open with" dialog.

  • Why does Firefox not open my windows and tabs from last time until I have tried starting 3 or 4 times?

    I have this problem with opening Firefox:
    My Startup options are set to "When Firefox starts: Show my windows and tabs from last time"
    However, each time I start Firefox, by clicking the icon in the Taskbar, it opens with a single blank tab.
    I repeat this using "Open New Window" and when I have up to 3 windows, all with single blank tabs open, I close them all. Once more I use "Open New Window" which only then opens with my windows and tabs from last time.
    Naturally, this induces initial panic each time, because I dread the thought of losing all my current tabs.
    What is going on here?
    How can I fix it?
    < Firefox 27.0.1 with Windows 7 Home Premium.>

    This started happening to me with the upgrade to v30. Previously, new windows did the proper thing of showing previous tabs/windows.
    I have history on, not in private mode, and have cleared cache.

  • Runtime exec opens new window

    Hi, I am using Runtime.exec to run an external application in Windows2000. � can read its output and i can destroy it without any problems.
    But when i run my java application with javaw , the external application i run with rt.exec opens new window(without output texts, empty) . just output command windows which opens when i run the external app. from a command prompt.
    If i run my java application with java.exe then then external application DO NOT open new window and run correctly. But this time my java window stays on desktop, and that's not any good for a Windows Application.
    In both cases everything runs OK. The only problem is the command prompt windows.
    Is there a solution when working with javaw.exe ? or hide the window when running with java.exe
    Thanks all.

  • Using Struts, On submit button in child window, its opening new window.

    We are developing a project using Struts and BC4J. I am opening a child window(window.showmodaldialog) from main window using struts action. Actually Child window is a search kind of page. User will enter the search criteria and press the sumbit button. I want to display the search result in the same window using datatable when jboevent="submit". But its opening new window and displaying the result in that. However in <html:form>, Even I tried the target="_self".
    I am not sure wether the associated action in the <html:form> is forcing to open a new window.
    Similar kind of thing I am able to achieve in other similar search page, it its not a child window.
    Please let me know what I am missing.
    Thanks,
    Arvind

    So you want the search window to submit back to itself so you see the search field and a result list..?
    In pure Struts terms either using "_self" or the name of the popup window in the <html:form> tag will do the trick
    You need to make sure that the inital window that you created as the popup search window has a name in the first place - can you specify this with showModalDialog()?
    BTW isn't showModalDialog an IE only feature...

  • I'm getting a not-quite crash in which I lose ability to interact with the window at all. Is there any way to fix the problem itself? All I can do is an inconvenient "fix" in which I open a new window, and it works in the second window for some reason.

    I'm experiencing a not-quite-crash every time I attempt to open firefox on my new computer. What happens is that the menu bar (which I prefer to have visible instead of that orange single-button menu) has all the letters on it turn gray, and I lose my ability to click anywhere on the page, including to close it. If I attempt to close the page via the taskbar it doesn't let me. It does, however, let me open new windows via the taskbar which don't have the same problem, which allows for an easy-but-inconvenient fix. I've tried it out and it does not have the same problem in Safe Mode. As a result of not being a "true" crash I can't give a crash ID, so you won't be able to trace it that way, sorry.

    ''Problem:'' For whatever reason, NoScript is stopping Runescape Community Toolbar from working properly which freezes your first Firefox window.
    ''Fix:'' Uninstall the toolbar. Disable NoScript. Install the toolbar. Add your RS account to it and make sure it works, then Enable NoScript again.
    EDIT: Posted a fix earlier that was wrong. Corrected to the right one, sorry ^_^ Answer was on Runescape Forums.

  • When a pop up window comes up it is - search bookmarks and history window! I cannot log into my bank as login button should open new window to log in but I get the search page. I cannot see larger images as again I get the search bookmarks and history pa

    When a pop up window comes up it is - search bookmarks and history window! I cannot log into my bank as login button should open new window to log in but I get the search page. I cannot see larger images as again I get the search bookmarks and history page etc. Happens on all options that should open new page. I am so frustrated, this has been happening since Firefox updated itself 2 days ago to Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET4.0C) was fine before that. using windows vista. Can you please advise what I should do? Also can you go back to previous version? Error console eg
    Warning: Error in parsing value for 'cursor'. Declaration dropped.

  • How can I set up firefox (latest version) to default to opening things in a new window and not a new tab.

    there is an option in firefox (latest version)(for windows7) to 'open new windows in a tab instead' what I want to do is to 'open new tabs in a window instead' Is this possible and how do I go about it

    Hi,
    There is an option called "browser.link.open_newwindow" which when set to 2 should open links, that would normally open in a new window, in a new window.
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.link.open_newwindow.
    I can't think of an add-on that will do this for you.
    You can always right click on the link and choose "Open Link in new Window" :-).
