Mouse/Cursor Jumps from one field or cell to another....

Hello,
For the last couple of days I suddenly noticed some kind of weird behavior on my mac.
It happens as I use the Finder, Safari, Numbers, TexEdit, Excel, Wordy, Page,.... pretty much all kind of applications.
Hard to describe this behavior so I will try to give a few examples:
In Safari:
Whenever I try to input some text in a field, as I am doing right now, I can type just fine, until suddenly the text continues on a different position than initially intentioned..., usually on the line above or below, even picking up in a middle of a word.
As a matter of fact I came to realize that the text 'jumps' wherever the cursor is on the screen or field when I am doing the typing. It goes without saying that it's extremely annoying.
The same behavior can be replicated in Numbers as well for example. If I try to input some info in a
cell (lets say A1), but my mouse is positioned on the cell Q50, the text is likely to start in A1 ... and continues in Q50!!
I recorder a couple of little movies to illustrate this behavior.
http://web.me.com/suber/examples/index.html
Any idea????? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
One question:
Could that problem be a consequence of me upgrading the RAM from 4GB to 8GB???
Thanks a lot in advance,
Eric

Hi,
In the Track Pad (System Preferences) have you got any Double touch/click setting made ?
When I first got my MacBook Pro I was always making such slight touches to the track pad and could not under stand why my cursor kept moving as I could not feel that I was applying pressure.
In thinking about this one above, I tired to replicate your Text Edit video
When I am typing I do not get the cursor showing as the Arrow over the TextEdit window.
Have you got some other window set to "Float" to the "Front"
For Instance I have Chax an Add-On for iChat that can set any window that is Clicked on first to be Set to be "Always On top" so that if I do it to my Buddy List it is always the Front Window.
(the setting in this add-on seems to be good enough not to lose focus on the window I am working in and I can not get the arrow to show)
I am wondering if you have an Add-On of some sort that is doing something similar, prehaps badly in that it only checks now and then or uses processor gaps to check the app/utility that is doing it, making it look random ?

Copy value from one field in subform, to another field in a different subform

Hi all. I have been back and forth with enterprise support, and they are telling me what I want to do is impossible. I find that hard to agree with, so hoping I can get some help here. I have a document that I am creating, based off an XML. The page consists of a header subform, a flowing table of variable name, and then a footer. My problem comes in, that when the table flows to mutliple pages, my header subform will not repeat, even though I have it set as the overflow header. According to Enterprise Support, this is by design. The header will repeat on the footer page, if that is on a separate page, just not when the table flows to another page. So, I came up with a solution to create an additional Header in my table, merge all the cells into one column, and copy my subform into that new header. I would set that header to appear only on subsequent pages. So, when I preview my document, it shows the static text fine, as I would expect, however the text fields are blank. I need a way of copying the values from the original header subform, into the newly created table header subform. The values will be different based on teh XML input, meaning that the first 3 pages will have one set of values, and the next 3 another, etc.. See sample below...
<NameValueList>
     <NameValue>
          <NameValueName>Name1<NameValueName>
          <NameValueDesc>Desc1<NameValueDesc>
           <TableValueList>
               <TableValue>
                    Blah
               </TableValue>
               <TableValue>
                    Blah 2
               </TableValue>
          </TableValueList>
     </NameValue>
     <NameValue>
          <NameValueName>Name2</NameValueName>
          <NameValueDesc>Desc2<NameValueDesc>
          <TableValueList>
               <TableValue>
                    Blah 5
               </TableValue>
               <TableValue>
                    Blah 6
               </TableValue>
          </TableValueList>
     </NameValue>
</NameValueList>
So, if I bind my original header to NameValueName, it will show on the first page which has my header, and the third page that has my footer. But my 2nd page, that has the table flowed to it, has a blank value. I tried to put code in the Initialize event of both text boxes, to copy from MainHeader.NameValueName to TableHeader.NameValueName, but that didn't work properly.
Any ideas on how to do this?

Thank you very much for the reply. I tried putting the copy statement in both the MainHeader and TableHeader initialize events. There was different behavior, depending on the place I put the copy statement, however neither was correct. If I put it in the initialize of the TableHeader, the NameValueName that appears on other page is Name1. Even though the header shows Name2 when it hits the next nodes. If I put it in the initialize of MainHeader, nothing is copied on the proper table header pages.
I initially had Master pages, however that really didn't work. The master pages traversed the NameValueName nodes on it's own loop. So, Each page displayed the next value in it's own loop, when the main subform loop is still showing data from the previous value. I know this might be hard to understand, but I'm doing my best to explain. THanks again for your reply, and I hope that there is another idea out there to fix this...

Search help from one field used to populate another on subscreen.

I have a subscreen with 2 fields; Plant & Batch.   Search help MCH1F displays batches for plants. When a batch for a plant is selected in the search help for the batch field, I want to populate the plant field in addition to the batch. The batch number comes back from the search help selection, but I need to get the plant associated with that batch just selected and populate the subscreen plant field. SET/GET doesn't work either in the screen field setup or abap flow logic.   Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks.

How to keep the filter when jump from one report to another report?

Hi experts,
How to use the "Link" or "Button Group" Web Item in BEx Web Application Designer to jump from one report A to another report B, both the filter of report A and report B could be kept and not missing.
When I use jump from report A to report B, the filter of Report B disappears.
But I need the filter of Report B to stay there and could be used.
Thanks
Alex

Hi..
I tried Your approached but I got an error as the field are connected to Entity Object and they are mandatory.
I achieved it using another way. Using " setForwardURL " method only.
As I am calling this method to delegate back to first page. This method takes 8 input parameters.
The 6 no parameter is about to retain AM or not. It a boolean type. Initially it was TRUE as soon as I changed it to False it worked as I needed. :)
Thanks and Regards,
Ajay

Adobe Bridge CC : metadata copy from one field to another for multiple files

So I am using Bridge CC for managing audio files and have many many MP3's that I need to copy or move one field of metadata to another.
ie: copy "Audio Artist" field to "IPTC Core Creator" Field
move "IPTC Core Description" to "Video Log Comment" field
Is there a script I can add that will let me select multiple files, and have it copy or move all the info from one of these fields to another?
Thanks

Scott, I did have a go at this but I can't get the right path to the logComment in the XMP…
Coping artist to creator works fine… If I find the solution I will post back…

Problem in query jump from one sender and two receivers

Hello all,
My requirement is to jump from one query to another two queries. The sender comes from infoCube A and receivers comes from ODS B and ODS C (ODS C is a copy of ODS B). The problem is that when I execute the first jump a pop up appears with a selection date. This issue does not happen when I execute the second jump (and the selection date is needed). Target queries are identical, and I don´t know what is happening.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Carmen

Hi Carmen,
I think you have used the same variable for the day selection for the query on ODS C and ODS B. Hence when you fill it for the first time it does not ask you at the second instance.
Regards.

How to programmatically jump from one topic to another in a compiled CHM file

Hello,
I'm working with the trial version of RoboHelp 9.0, trying to evaluate it for my company before we go ahead and purchase it.
Basically I'm importing a Word document and then exporting it into a .chm file.
I'm using a programing tool to jump from one topic to another in the compiled CHM file.
The topic is displayed just fine but the content on the left side stays closed and doesn't open accordingly.
I'm not sure how to extract from the RoboHelp viewer a topic's HTML address to serve as an input for my programming tool.
I'll appreciate any idea.

hi
say there are two infoobjects X and Y.
X is existing infoobject and Y in new one.
go to infosurce-search for X-create export datasource - map the rules and load the data.
This is one way.
Other way is u can use X as a reference object of Y so that both of them have same structure and both objects will share common database tables in BW which are exsting for X.
Hope this helps.
Kindly assign the points if it helps.

Screen on my i pad is jumping from one page to another

for the past few days, the screen on my i pad is jumping from one page to another on its own. Also it flickers when not in use.The i pad was purchased in Bangalore ,India in May, 2013
Please help me resolve this issue
Thx

No. Photo stream only streams photos, not videos. To transfer videos between your devices you can either import them to iTunes and sync them, or (more conveniently) use an app like PhotoSync or Bump.

My Firefox windows keep jumping from one to another

When I open a new Firefox window, after some time if I have another firefox window (not tab) open, for some reason my computer will jump from one I am currently using to the inactive one, although it still shows it as being inactive unless you click on it.
Firefox also jumps to Word or other such documents. Again this has only happened since downloading Firefox 12 (after upgrading from a brief period with Firefox 11 as well, where it also happened, but not earlier versions).

as you've described the issue it sounds more like a general external issue on your os and not related to firefox.
you might want to do a deep scan for viruses/malware on your system & have a look at this suggestion: [http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windowsxp/ht/stealingfocus02.htm]

IPads jumping from one SSID to another?

Hello,
One of my customers is experiencing this problem, their iPads are jumping from one SSID to another causing intermittence in the service. There are 3 SSIDs, two with WEP and one more open.
This are AP and IOS versions
c1130-k9w7-mx.124-25d.JA
Thanks!

When you deploy wireless, on of the biggest problems is no control over wireless profiles. There is nothing you can do on the AP. If the user has added all three SSIDs, well that means the device has a choice of what SSID it wants to connect to. The only way to prevent the issue you are having is to only have the iPad users connect to one SSID. It might be training of users to let them k ow what they can and shouldn't do. Maybe not broadcasting the SSID is what you need to do so these devices don't automatically join networks.

My ipod jumps from one screen / app to another on it's own. Sometimes I can't unlock or even shut off. I've tried the reset, I've tried back up, even tried restoring to factory settings and is still having problem. Any ideas of what I can do.

When you still have the problem after restoring to factory defaults/new iPod then you very likely have a hardware problem and an appointment a th Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I tried to copy a formula from one field (max of a, b) to another (min of a,b). Paste seems not to work.

Hello,
I am creating a form from a PdF file. In this form, there is a lot of calculated fields with formulas adressing the same fields (ie : max of a,b,c,d and min of a,b,c,d).
As the process to select the fields you use for the formula is a rather slow one, I tried to copy the selected fiels from one field to another (select the fields in the properties window, right clic, then copy). I couldn't paste what I copied.
I work with Acrobat X pro, in win 7.
Thanks for your help

Good day!
A simple Paste does not work for you?
It should place the clipboard content as a new Layer which you can then move around.
If there is any chance that the elements need to be scaled, rotated etc. I would prefer to place them as Smart Objects (File > Place …) and do the masking that is specific to the images themselves in those.

HT4623 How come my ipad jumps from one app to another app?

How come my i pad jumps from one app to another for no reason at all. especially when Ia using safari?

And do you have enough space left on your iPad?
Is an error message appearing? If yes, what does it say?
Then you can't transfer files between apps, you'll need to use iTunes.
If you do not have the file on your computer, just connect your iPad, download the file into the computer from the original app and upload it to the other/new app.
