Mnemonics don't appear until alt key is pressed

In a swing application, mnemonics have been given for all the JMenuItems. When the application is started, the underlined mnemonics do not appear until the alt key is pressed. Can any one throw some light on this strange behaviour?

However, I don't want any text (either a preview of the message or even who the message is from) to appear in the lock screen.  I just want an audible or vibration alert to sound.  I do still want a banner alert when not in the lock screen.  Is this possible?

  • PS CS5.1 - Changes/additions to doc don't appear until I zoom in/out of image

    Good evening,
    Over the past few weeks I've encountered a problem with Photoshop CS 5.1. Anytime I make an addition or alteration to an image (not a photo, but a digital composition) whatever I've done does not appear until I zoom in or out of the image. I have also tried waiting a few seconds to see if the program just lagged but it still doesn't appear until I zoom in or out. An example would be if I add text to a document, while I'm typing the cursor will move as I type but the text doesn't appear until I zoom. This is with solid text and of a color differing from the background.
    I tried increasing the memory available to the program (I have given it about 6gb), still occurs. I uninstalled and reinstalled the program, problem persists.
    I'm running Windows 7 64bit, Intel i7 1.6ghz, 8 gb of memory
    Any possible solutions would be very helpful. I've resorted to using CS2 and I would love to move back to CS5.
    Thanks

    Hi there! Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Photoshop General Discussion forum, where you'll get more specialized help.

  • IPhone letters don't pop up when keys are pressed

    You know how the letters pop up from under your finger when keys a pressed on the keyboard to let you know which key you press, well sometimes certain letters on my keyboard stop popping up. A restart fixes the key but a few minutes or hours (intermittent) later a different letter stops working. Anybody else have this problem?

    The problem seems to be related to the Auto-correct and Auto-capitalization feature. If I turn either one off (Settings->General->Keyboard), I don't have the problem but when both are on, it comes back. It also seems to affect the first character that I type in the input field.
    With both Auto features on, if I go to the login page of Twitter and type, say, a 'v' as the first character of the Username, a capital V is entered and the "V" pops up, but if I backspace, tap shift to go to lowercase and tap v again, the v does not pop up from the keyboard but it does show up in the username input field. I can reset things if I tap the Done button on the keyboard then tap in the username field to bring the keyboard back up. The problem is still there, but I can see it happen with a new letter if I want.
    Try it and post what you find. You don't have to have a Twitter account to see it happen and I'd be interested to know if it's consistent.

  • Screen shows when ALT key is pressed

    Hi,
    For some reason, photoshop CC has started showing a big ugly ALT next to my cursor when I press the ALT key. I dont want this! It gets in the way.
    Im not sure how I turned it on, and would LOVE to know how to turn it off.
    Many thanks!
    G

    OK found it.
    The driver for the wacom tablet I use had stopped functioning. I think a derfault windows driver kicked in instead and was kindly telling me what keys I was pressing.
    A simple reboot did the trick - it was NOT a photoshop setting.
    Thanks anyhow.

  • No way to start unless alt key is pressed during startup

    2QuadCOre 2x3,2 GHZ , 10.6.8 MAc Pro  - very annoying issue.
    Starting normally I cannot pass grey screen of death .
    The only way to pass this point is to force restart with alt key pressed - and then click on my startup drive ( i have several drives with OSX ) I have been runninmg disk utility / repairing priviliges etc .
    Obviosly my system drive is chosen and locked in system preferences.
    Any hints how to fix it .
    Thank you .

    I'd probably make two backups of the disk (to external disk drives), and then nuke and pave the installation.
    But since you're probably not going to start there given your current approach, start by resetting the SMC, et al.
    I might well install the 10.6.8 Combo update (not the delta update), as well.
    Some folks suggest acquiring and installing an add-on repair tool such as Disk Warrior.  (I'm somewhat skeptical around those, though they do apparently work for some folks.)
    Permission repairs and disk repairs are typically entirely ineffective with corrupted files, corrupted parameter settings, etc.
    The usual low-level command for enabling and selecting a boot disk is bless.  This is an older discussion, and there are others discussing the tool around.
    But when a Unix boot disk goes wonky, starting over (and importing your environment as part of the nuke-and-pave sequence) tends to be the best value for your time.   And you get good, complete, and current backups of your data, assuming the backup tool doesn't become derailed by whatever corruption(s) might be lurking here.

  • Buttons/MC on timeline don't appear until mouse roll over in browser

    Hello all,
    I am experiencing some weird behavior with some moveclips and buttons on my video player; (as2)
    http://websites.danielnwilliams.co.uk/crankmedia/
    I have created a video player that has the scrubber/playpause button actually move with the position in the video. There are other links that appear when the main video is at a certain point. There seems to be 2 problems with it which I cant figure out what is going on...
    -1st is that the scrubber is actually linked to the timeline (where the buttons are on) with the follwing code;
    MovieClip.prototype.scrubbb2 = function (x)
        var f2:Number = Math.round (this._totalframes * x);
        this.gotoAndStop (f2);
    For some reason the timeline starts from when the video is buffering, so its all out of sync with certain points in the video. But when you move the scrubber, the timeline seems to 'snap' into place and then all the videos line up. What have I done wrong here?!
    -2nd is that the link buttons will not appear unless the mouse is over the flash video player on the webpage. If your mouse is out of the video player nothing appears when its meant to. as soon as you put the mouse cursor into the flash player the links (that are meant to be visible) appear instantly. Is there a way to make them always appear on time?!
    Any help is greatly appreciated
    Cheers
    Dan

    yes, you can use, add and remove cuepoints in as2 but that's not what you should do for a scrubber.  you should use the metadata event to determine your flv's duration and use a loop (eg enterframe), to update the scrubber's position based on the duration and the netstream's time property.
    when your scrubber is dragged, delete the enterframe loop and use the seek() method to direct the stream to the correct point.
    you'll use a little algebra control your scrubber's position based on the netstream's time and you'll control your seek parameter based on the scrubber's position:
    // to determine the seek time given the scrubber.dragbar position:
    paramF(scrubber.dragbar,0,0,scrubber._width-scrubber.dragbar._width,duration);
    // to determine the scrubber.dragbar position given the netstream time
    paramF(scrubber,0,0,duration,scrubber._width-scrubber.dragbar._width);
    function paramF(mc:MovieClip,x1:Number,y1:Number,x2:Number,y2:Number){
    mc.m=(y1-y2)/(x1-x2);
    mc.b=y1-mc.m*x1;

  • Some messages just don't appear until restarting mail?

    Hi we use kerio as our mail exchange server and its running great. The problem is i believe with apple mail checked the mail server logs all fine.
    Sometimes, like this morning for instance I spoke to someone this morning who had sent me an email and it didn't show in my inbox until i just restarted mail this afternoon when it appeared??Sometimes the mail appears on the iphone at the correct time running exchange and not in mail.
    This is happening to a few people in the company and I'm getting it in the ear.. for missed deadlines.
    Anyone having similar experiences or know of the reason why? and how to rectify it? Its only the odd occasion, but it always seems to be an important email.
    Thanks for your help.

    How it works:
    After the installation you won ‘t find an application icon as it integrated within your menu options only. Visit the locations you want to white list and add them to the WiFi-Manager list. Ensure you have enabled the WiFi manager and then you ready to go.
    Note: Sometimes a location might be between two cell towers or more so you might have to add the location multiple times to ensure you cover each cell tower.

  • My iphoto freezes when trying to use the standard eBay photo upload, the problem started after a recent iOS 7 update. The album photos don't appear until I try and close the upload and immediately freezes. Attempts to close iphoto fail.

    A week or so ago I reacted to an Apple update message. The update completed and this left me with a couple of problems. When the imac started up there was a Glims message on screen telling me that the computer had not closed entirely and asking if I wanted to allow glims to reopen previously open files. I ticked yes and Safari froze immediately. This would happen even after a restart, Safari would start up with the Glims message on my Yahoo mail account. Then whether I clicked on the Glims message or not one of various adverts would appear and Safari would immediately freeze. I managed to override this by quickly entering Safari extensions and subscribing to an advertisement blocking programme. Safari now worked without problems but the blocking programme created other problems mostly with iphoto. The eBay uploaded photos were minute. So I decided to remove the Safari blocking extension and all seemed fine for everything except iphoto which now freezes every time I try to upload eBay photo's using the eBay standard upload problem. Yesterday I changed to the other BASIC upload option and that did work. Thought it might be a one of glitch on the Standard but obviously not. Anyone's help would be appreciated. I note that at least one other member is experiencing the same or similar problem today.

    Sorry I am 70 and not very computer literate. Please explain in simpler terms. Perhaps I should have said Apple update for my iMac. It did however include an iphoto update. My imac is 3 years old, I also have an ipad 2 and iPhone and both received iOS 7 updates around the same time.

  • Elements 9 Crashes When Alt key is Pressed

    I am using Elements 9 - an upgrade from 4. When I try to use the clone stamp the programme crashed irrespective of file size. This did not happen in Elements 4.
    Operating system is XP.
    Any Ideas?

    With the clone stamp tool selected - click on the downward pointing drop down icon (far left on the options menu) and select re-set tool.
    If that makes no difference you may need to re-set preferences.
    Start the editor whilst simultaneously holding down the Ctrl+Alt+Shift keys.
    When you see “Delete the Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File” - click yes.
    When you re-start the program again the preference files will be automatically re-built.

  • MACBOOK air appears as though alt key is stuck

    My on screen keyboard is showing the cahracters as though the alt key is pressed.
    When I type it only brings up symbols. The alt key however is not stuck and the keyboard is new.
    How do I fix this problem?

    Hi rballiram,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It seems like your MacBook Air is recognizing that the option key is being pressed when it isn't; and you've confirmed by checking the Keyboard Viewer (onscreen keyboard) in OS X.
    This was a good isolating step, and if the behavior isn't caused by the keyboard itself, try booting into Safe mode next:
    Follow these steps to start up into Safe Mode.
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup sound, press and hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be pressed as soon as possible after startup, but not before the startup sound.
    Release the Shift key when you see the Apple logo appear on the screen.
    After the Apple logo appears, it may take longer than usual to reach the login screen. This is because your computer is performing a directory check as part of Safe Mode.
    To leave Safe Mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.
    From:
    OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support
    If your Mac behaves normally in Safe mode, try resetting the NVRAM (also called PRAM) and the System Management Controller using the steps at these links:

  • Using Alt+Key shortcuts in Chromeless application makes windows beep

    Tell me I'm correct about the following:
    It is impossible to use mx:MenuBar with mnemonics and/or have 'Ctrl+Alt+Key' appear in the menu as you can with FlexNativeMenu or NativeMenu.
    It is impossible to use any Alt+Key shortcuts to activate a control without Windows® beeping at you when you use the key.
    It is impossible to use a s:Button or even an mx:Button with an underlined letter without making a specific skin just for that button.
    It is impossible to comprehend why such a standard activation method -- using the Alt+Key would be overlooked by a company leading the pack in RIA or any other type of interface development.
    So who is on drugs, I hope it is me and not Adobe.
    Wait, don't tell me-- you want me to extend your framework so it includes these fundamental things??

    After further research, the way to get around alt-key beeping and get rid of the system menu in a chromeless app is to use:
    stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
    and then do some restructuring so your outer client window is now fully transparent and has no skin, and your inner client window is a child who can be moved or sized in its container.
    But, this solution does not allow native window states: Minimized, etc. The best you can do is emulate them, but the OS will only see a window that only has one possible state.
    Since it has no system/native menu, the OS won't beep on alt+key. I am speaking of windows only, and have no idea what goes on in a Mac environment with this work-around.

  • JTextField and JButtons not appearing until clicked.

    I'm writing a program to refresh my CS1 java skills. For some reason when I try to add a JTextField and two JButtons to my container they don't appear until Ive clicked them.
    Actually more specifically, this only happens after a 100ms wait after setting the frame visible. Any less and the components wind up visible, but scrunched up in the top middle of my frame.
    Ive found that if I add the components before and after the wait they are visible and in the correct place, but this makes a noticeable flicker.
    I'm running windows vista if that matters.
    If someone could help me I would appreciate it.
    snippet of code:
    public scrollText()
         drawingThread.start();
         mainFrame.setSize(640,160);
         mainFrame.setContentPane(draw);
         mainPane = mainFrame.getContentPane();
         mainPane.setBackground(Color.white);
         mainFrame.setResizable(false);
         mainFrame.setVisible(true);
         try
              Thread.sleep(100);
              addInterface();
         catch(InterruptedException e){}
    public void addInterface()
         textInput.setBounds(1,103,501,31);
         play.setBounds(502,103,65,30);
         play.addActionListener(this);
         stop.setBounds(568,103,65,30);
         stop.addActionListener(this);
         mainPane.add(textInput);
         mainPane.add(play);
         mainPane.add(stop);
    }

    Postings can't be moved between forums. Now you know for the next time.
    The general form for building a GUI is
    frame.getContentPane().add( yourComponentsHere );
    frame.pack();
    frame.setVisible( true );Then all the compnoent will show up according to the rules of the layout managers used.
    However is you add components to the GUI "after" the GUI is visible then the components are not automatically painted. You need to tell the GUI to invoke the layout manager again so your code would be:
    frame.getContentPane().add( componentsToVisibleGUI );
    frame.getContentPane().validate();

  • ICloud disables 'ALT' key in Firefox

    I use Firefox to access iCloud.com but it appears to disable the 'Alt' key which I use to access the Menu bar in Firefox
    Anyone else found this? On any other page I hit Alt and the Menu Bar appears so I can then go to Bookmarks etc but doesn't work on iCloud.com
    Any suggestions welcome....I can set Firefox to always show Menu Bar but would prefer not to in a bid to keep things tidy.

    There's a bug in Firefox for Android that means you need to hold the ALT key down *while* pressing the number key (unlike other Android apps where you can release the ALT key before pressing the next key). Does this work for you?
    We will fix the bug in a future release, so that the keyboard will work just like in other Android apps.

  • ALT key is stuck.

    It seems that the Alt key is stuck on my phone. There is an arrow in the upper right corner and it is responding to each button as if the alt key is pressed. Any clue how to get this to go away? Thanks!

    Welcme to the Frums!
    Try removing your battery. Replace after 30 seconds - allowing your phone to reboot. 
    See if that helps!
