Marquee Tool display issue.

UPDATE: I've noticed this issue goes away when I disable the "Enable OpenGL Drawing" Checkbox. Which is disappointing because I've become really dependent on flick panning. My video card is the ATI Radeo HD 6970M 1GB. I feel like it should be plenty powerful enough to handle this kind of rendering. My dinky Macbook Air doesn't have this kind of display issue.
As you can see in the screenshot attached, it appears as though the selection made is missing 1px on the right side of the selection however this is not the case. The selection is flush against the top and right edge of the canvas. I've not experienced this issue until I got my new iMac. Did a fresh install of CS 5.5 and all software is up to date. Anyone else experienced this issue?

Some say it's a nVidia driver glitch. I have reproduced it on one of my nVidia-equipped systems, and it's not the same with an ATI card, though arguably it's off on the ATI system too, just in a different way.
Try temporarily disabling OpenGL Drawing (Edit - Preferences - Performance) and see if the problem persists.
You lose a few things without OpenGL. This page describes more: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404898.html
Installing the latest nVidia driver from their web site might help.

SSDT - SQL Server Data Tools - display issue

In SSDT 2010 SSAS project, Dimension Usage --> Define Relationship window
The display has problem to see everything. In the "Define Relationship" windows, the Relationship section overlap the measure group table display. I can only see upper half the measure group table font.
Can someone help to let me know what is the issue?

Hi Tie,
According to your description, there are some display problems when you design a SQL Server Analysis Services project in SQL Server Data Tools, right?
In your scenario, does this issue occur on only this project or all the projects? In your scenario, please create a sample SSAS project and then check if this issue occurs on the new project or not?
If this issue occurs on only this project, then the issue is related to your cube structure, please to restart SSDT to check if this issue persists or not. If the issue persists, please provide us more information about your cube settings.
If this issue occurs on all the projects, then the issue is related to SSDT. To avoid this issue, you can use SQL Server Data Tools – Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012 to build you SSAS project. It available on the link below

Can I turn off the setting that displays the height and width in a little black box when using the marquee tool?

In Photoshop CC, on a mac...
When using the marquee selection tool, a little black box pops up next to the curser and displays in real time, the height and width of the selection. The same annoying box also appears when dragging an item with the move tool, displaying the numerical location of the cursor. Is there anyway to turn off the display of that little black box? It is driving me bonkers.

Under the preferences cmd/ctrl-k click on "Interface". At the bottom of the UI is a drop down box for show transformation. Set that to "Never"

Issues with Rectangular Marquee Tool [was: I have a question]

The problem is with the 'rectangular marquee tool' ... after I select a box, the tool defaults to a marquee that eliminates a portion of the first selected box. The curser changes to show the '+' curser with an 'x' in the lower right of the cursor ... how do I get rid of this?

It sounds like you have Intersect with selection enabled in the tool options bar instead of the default of New selection.
Though it sounds like you want to add to the prevous selection?
I usually just leave the default of New selection and use the following keyboard shortcuts instead of clicking on different options in the tool options bar.

Photoshop Marquee tool issue with unwanted opposite selections

What is the cause and fix for this:
screenshot
I am clicked on that layer.
I choose the Marquee tool.
I click around the area I want to select.
Phtoshop, not me, creates these inexplicable unwanted selection areas opposite of what I want, they are unwanted.
At times, these unselected or deselected areas run off the page.
At times I begin or end my selection off the canvas NOT always.
I have lived with this for months (maybe years) but it has got to stop.
Anyone ANYone?? know what is causeing this??

The first thing to try is a reset of the Marquee tool by right clicking on it in the Tools Option bar at the top. Choose Reset Tool.
It usually fixes forgotten adjustments and other glitches that causes a tool to malfunction.
Ctrl click if you own a Mac.

Bizarre & Random Dashboards Display Issues/Errors

Hello,
I am on BI 4.1 SP04 and these dashboards were developed using an equivalent level on the client tool. (4.1 SP04)
Sometimes we get very strange and often random display issues with our dashboards. I have attached screen shots for examples. Sometime we are missing data points from rendering on the charts, other times a line chart will extend into a bar chart. Has anyone experienced this or have any idea what could cause this? It is very frustrating...
Thanks for looking,
Gary
Missing data points on yellow line, yet line rendering with proper data (other wise would have 0's in places, etc)
Green line missing dot on last end point
In this example there are no dots on the yellow line or green line
In this example the blue line has turned into massive columns extending across the charts

This patch should resolve the issue in the last screenshot. I still face the other issues after upgrading to SP3 Patch 4. The dots in line chart take some time to appear. Also, if we use dynamic visibility, the components taking considerable time to appear sometimes. I hope this will also be fixed in later patches. Please share your experience too after applying the patch.

Display issues in XP with Firefox

I just installed Firefox browser to an old XP machine. I am having display issues: sideways lines and "double vision" even on the home page. I know I have an old video card. That has caused sideways lines in videos before. This is a computer my husband uses and loves! I know its a dinosaur. Besides videos in kids programs, I never have had any display problems just browsing the web. And I can watch YouTube videos just fine in my other browsers.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

If there are problems with Flash then you can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Photoshop lags when i use the marquee tool

I recently updates to Photoshop CC (2014) and ever since I did I have been having problems with lag when using the Marquee tool. I have tried reinstalling Photoshop and even downgrading back to CC but it doesn't help. Does anyone know what causes this?

Why does my screen keep flashing and then turn black when I use the marquee tool?

When I bring up a photo to work on and i try to draw circle or square with the Marquee tool my screen flashes black and then stays black until I use the move tool?

This issue is associated with your graphics driver not being compatible with PS' hardware acceleration. Updating the driver if possible would be advisable, otherwise turn off OpenGL drawing under Preferences --> Performance.

Output display issue in only a particular user account.

Let me start off by noting that I recently switched to mac from windows. Last night I was browsing around the system just getting a feel for the environment when the color / display changed and looked something like a display one would see from booting up in safe mode on a windows machine. I went on to restart and log back into the user account where I was having the display issue, but that did not work. I ran the tech tool deluxe suite to try and find the problem, maybe the video ram? That test came back with no issues to report. I went into the administrator account and found that the display there was normal, and then checked the problem account once more to find that my problem was not solved. Luckily I did not have a lot of information on the problem account so I went onto delete the problem account and recreated a new one. This solved my display issues. Does anyone have any idea why this would have happened or what I can do to prevent it from happening? Should I contact Apple because I am not sure if this may be a hardware/software issue/defect? Thanks.

If you open the Universal Access pane in System Preferences and select "White on Black" in the Seeing tab does that replicate the problem? I'm not familiar with Safe mode on a Windows machine.

Display issue with vertical windows start menu and dual screen

Hello everyone
I never reported it and I didn't find any information on google or mozilla support about this so here it is :
I am on windows 7 and I set up my windows start menu vertically. I also have 2 screens. These both points are important. If I put the start menu horizontally I do not have the issue anymore, and If I turn off one screen to have the display only on one screen, I do not have the issue anymore, which is a rare setup I guess so it could explain why this bug has never been detected.
HERE IS THE ISSUE
I have display issues on website with a big width, even the default add-ons Manager firefox page doesn't display correctly. Here is a screen shot:
http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/368172bugFirefoxDisplay.png
So as you can see the disable and remove button on the right are not displayed, and at the bottom there isn't any scroll bar to scroll ! So I have no way to display the information on the right of the page, and it happens on a lot of other website (gmail, etc)
It is not such a big issue because my start menu is on my left screen and I can move firefox on the right screen to have a correct display.
I still think this is worth reporting this bug. I hope it is clear, feel free to ask questions if you didn't understand.

Marquee tool width not equal clipboard image width

I'm really stuck with this issue and would like your help.
I select an area with the marquee tool, lets say 122 height x 55 width. Then I either edit / copy or Ctrl + C.
When I copy the area into a new file, the photoshop suggested file size is always 122 h x 51 w. Even if I make the new file size 122 height x 55 width, the copied area is only 51 px wide.
This only occurs sometimes and I can't figure out why... Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello,
thanks for the reply. I only have one visible layer.
Here the screenshots. The width in the Marquee selection area is 39px. Yet photoshop wants to create a new image with width 23px...?

While using marquee tool to cut and past section to new layer, outline stays transparent

Hello,
I am testing the trial version of Photoshop CS5.5 and I am experiencing a weird issue while using the marquee tool while selecting a portion of an image, cutting that section and pasting it to a new layer.
First off I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, 2.8Ghz Dual Core Processor, 4 Gigs Memory, 2 Gig Video card and current on updates with a fresh vanilla install of CS5.5. Not filters or plugin installed.
Step by step of issue is as follows,
I take an image on layer 1 and while using the marquee tool select and area on that image. I want to cut and Past In Place that selection on a new layer, layer 3.
This will allow me to insert another layer, layer 2, in between layer 1 and layer 3 and show what ever I place on layer 2 but still have a complete background if the image does not fill the entire transparent section.
A good example is a wanted poster. You have your picture frame with the Wanted letters and reward. In the center you have a transparent square. In the back you have a black background. In between the frame and the background you place a face. The face will not fill the entire sqaure so you will see some of the black back ground.
Now the problem appears to be that the dotted line of the marquee selection makes so you can see your selection stays transparent or deletes the ares directly unter it when you cut and past to a new layer. The transparent outline looks to be the same size of the dotted line when that selection is selected. I have looked and searched for this promblem and resolution but can not see one.
The picture below is the result after I deselect the area. You can see just above another section that I tried to cover up but did not get it all.
This is driving me nuts and I just can not figure out what is causing this behavior. If I try and stretch the section, it skews the contents out of proportion.
An suggestions or information would be greatly appreciated!
Marquee Selection, Animated Lines Cut And Past In Place And Selection Deselected
Thanks

Instead of cut, one way is to duplicate the layer and add a layer mask from the selection. Alt click on the layer mask icon at the bottom of the layers panel to add a Layer Mask>Hide Selection.
Then you can put a layer in the middle.
The reason your seeing what's in your screenshot is the selection is anti-aliased,

Moving the Elliptical Marquee Tool

Hi. Really hoping someone can help me with a problem I'm having with the elliptical marquee tool. Having selected this tool and drawn an oval shape on my image, I know I should be able to move the oval image around the screen, using the keyboard arrows (I think), until it frames the part of the image I want framed. However, the keyboard arrows are not working for me in order to shift the oval around. When I press the keyboard arrows, I can see my cursor moving through the Photo Effects icons on the right of the Editor window (Elements 6 version). Does anyone know how I can make sure that the keyboard arrows move the oval around or does anyone know any other way of making the oval move around the image?
Thanks very much

Thanks so much Terri for all your help. IT NOW WORKS!! HURRAH!!
All I did was re-create the preferences file manually then went back in and tried moving the elliptical marquee tool around using the keyboard arrows and it worked fine. Unfortunately, the Ctrl+Alt+Shift still does not work but at least I now know the manual way of re-creating the preference file.
In terms of the other questions you asked:
1. My shortcut key was already set to none.
2. No other keys have been acting up but bear in mind that I have only been using PSE6 for the last 7 weeks as part of my Open University course in the UK so not likely to have encountered much yet.
3. No other programs are causing any problems that I am aware of although I don't use shortcut keys that often apart from ctrl+V and ctrl+C and a few others.
4. I don't have a Logitech mouse so this wouldn't be causing any issues.
Thanks again for all your help.

Divide layer into 4 quarters and trouble with marquee tool.

Help, please!!! Because I will be doing this often in the near future, I need to create an action to precisely divide a LAYER into 4 quarters, in order to easily create seamless patterns. I'm having trouble figuring out how to automate the placing of guides limited to the center points of the selected layer dimensions, as opposed to the entire image's dimensions. My second difficulty is in selecting the quarters; using the marquee tool, etc, the selection tool is NOT snapping to the guides, despite what I have the Snap To preferences set to. I need to select the pixels right up to the guide line so that I can select the "Make a new layer via cut" and then move the new layers in position to make a seamless tile. Right now, it is selecting a few pixels off. (Annoying!) So until I can figure out how to address these issues, I can't even begin to record an action. Even if I can't record a general action, due to the problem of different layers having different dimensions, I'd be happy to discover a shortcut to accurately quartering a layer and any advice as to why I'm having trouble managing the marquee tool. Maybe I'll get lucky and some kind soul will have already created and be willing to share something to solve this problem I'm currently trying out the CS6 Beta but usually work in either CS5 or PSE 9. For those of you who respond, thanks in advance!

If you want to give a Script a try, paste the following text into a new file in ExtendScript Toolkit (part of Photoshop’s installation, Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities/ExtendScript Toolkit CS4 or /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities-CS5/ExtendScript Toolkit CS5) and save it as a jsx-file into Photoshop’s Presets/Scripts-folder.
After restarting Photoshop the Script should be available under File > Scripts and can be assigned a Keyboard Shortcut directly, recorded into an Action, (in CS4 and CS5) be used in a Configurator-Panel or started from ExtendScript Toolkit directly.
