Mouse Issues and Everyone Blaiming Themselves!

I've been having problems with my mouse.  It simply stops moving completely for anywhere from a few seconds up to a minute.  I've been tracing the problem and came to one of three conclusions, it's either Video Related, USB Related, or Mouse Related.
So, I called each one of the companies.....
Powercolor blames themselves and says to exchange the video card.
MSI Blames themselves and says to send my motherboard back and get a replacement.
Logitech blames the mouse and says to exchange it.....
So, the question is who's fault is it?  Anyone have anything I can test with?

If you are having problems with USB ports, read this topic.
Make sure this is OK before you go to far. So many cases are wired wrong and even if you don't have anything plugged into the case USB connections just having the wrongly wired case plugged into the MB can cause weird issues.
Another thing to try is to remove the USB devices and the Mouse Device from device manager in Windows and let Windows re-Plug and Pray everything after a restart.

  • Annoying mouse issues of cs6 and cs5.5 on mountain lion

    Hi everyone,
    a couple month ago, a mac pro bought, which has mountain lion. i installed cs5.5 and for a while i have started to fight with mouse issues. illustrator, indesing and photoshop, all of them has mouse lag. photoshop has also freezing when i use stamp tool, and zooming in addition. if the screen moves (when i zoom or move the work to any direction of the window or use the tool which makes the screen move), it freeze and mouse pointer starts to spininnig. sometimes it comes back for a while, sometimes not. and then noticed that, forexample zooming or stamping, if i move mouse over the window, it completes the new view and everything is back normal.
    but i can't use stamp tool as normal. it can't work fast and freezes mostly. the mouse lag occurs randomly; not only photoshop, but also indesign and illustrator. i looked at the consol messages and found this:
    1/23/13 2:41:55.108 PM WindowServer[203]: _CGXGetWindowOrderingGroup: Operation on a window 0x69 requiring rights 0x5 by caller Photoshop
    i googled it and can't found anything. when it freezes on photoshop, consol writes this message. screen never freezes indesign and illustrator. so, there is no messages. only mouse lag occurs on them.
    i try to use different combination on photoshop's graphics processor settings. but it doesn't work. now i use photoshop by making the graphic processor off.
    after that i installed cs6. but for a while, i met the same problems. i reset the photoshop, erased the preferences files. but it didn't work. after disabling graphic processor, i haven't met the freezing, but mouse issues continue in photoshop, illustrator and indesign.
    if you  need more info, just ask me.
    thank you all.

    hi,
    thanks for your answer. i don't know if it's a driver problem, or not. computer came with wireless apple magic mouse. today, i tried the old mac mouse (the ones without wheel). the same result.
    if it worked, i wouldn't use this solution. because i do not have to use old mouse. we have met those problems in windows. i NEVER change any hardware for the problems in mac osx. i LOVE apple and its products, but if it worked, there is no different windows.
    so, i don't know where is  the problem, either in macosx or in adobe products. but i'm really tired of this..
    i guess this problem because of the video card: ati hd 5700. their website has not any driver for this card suit for mac os.
    appreciate any help..

    The clip follows my mouse movements and goes to other places in my time line.
    I try to delete these extra insertions, but the mouse will not release the clip.
    Action I’ve taken: I’ve re-installed Premiere Elements 13. Problem remains.
    This issue has consumed too much of my time and does not go away.  It ruins my video.
    Help please.
    Thanks

    I tried using the Guest Account on my Mac. In the Guest Account, Illustrator works perfect!
    Then I started wondering what processes (tools/tweaks) I run by default on my account. Turned out the problem was called by a little background tool called RightZoom. RightZoom let's the green 'zoom' button always maximize your current window.
    So thanks! Problem solved!

  • I changed my ID due to an email accessibility issue and I lost access to all my purchased music for the last few years.  Been browsing through the support area and it seems like everyone is saying I will have to rebuy everything.  Is this really true?

    I changed my ID due to an email accessibility issue and I lost access to all my purchased music for the last few years.  Been browsing through the support area and it seems like everyone is saying I will have to rebuy everything.  Is this really true? 
    Apple has to be more user friendly than to let something like this happen, right?

    Did you change the ID, or did you create a new Apple ID? If you had simply changed the ID then what I suggested above should work as the ID itself is the same (even though the name of the ID - the address - has changed).
    However if you created a new ID, logged in with that, and purchased items on it, then you have two separate IDs each with purchased associated with them. You say that you can't log in to the original account with the 'alternate' email - have you tried logging in with the original email address? It doesn't matter if it doesn't actually work to receive mail, as far as logging in is concerned it's just a text string.

  • Radius L10W-B keyboard and mouse issues

    Hello, I have just purchased a Toshiba Satelite Radius L10W-B notebook less then a day ago, and am exeriancing SERIOUS keyboard and mouse issues, Juts after purchasinng this notebook, after converting it to tablet mode and back to notebok mode, the keyboard and mouse was NON existant for over 4 hours, DID NOT WORK AT ALL. I took it back to the reseller and ofcourse as soon as I tried to show the issue, all worked fine. Now, I have massive latency issues with both keyboard and mouse. The keyboard misses key strokes in almost every 8 keys. I get 1 missed keystroke in every 8 keys pressed when typing, and these are not typos, just absolutely nothing, thyre absolute misses all togeather. This make for alot of retyping and backspacing etc etc. also, the mouse is disabled for about 3 seconds after tying, then snaps back into action. This means when typing and switching to the mouse reasonably fast, the mouse is non responsive for about 1 second which is fairly irretating. This email took over 20 minutes to write, for this exact reason. Im sure this is not normal. I really love this notebook in every other aspect, however these issues just make it plain ususuable. Any ideas? Thanks!  

    Peter,
    thanks for the reply. However im convinced this is hardware related! While I really hope not, Ive tried all solutions posted by others.
    It simply seems the keyboard is poor quality and the rest of the laptop is awesome!
    I really hope im wrong! But its my gut feeling
    Ill try give them a call but not holding my breath.

  • Trackpad and Mouse Issue

    Periodically my trackpad will not work. It starts off as being a bit sluggish (i.e. not responsive to swipes) and it gets progressively worse until it ceases to function. I then plug in a mouse which seems to work for a bit. However, the same problem that occurred w. the trackpad starts to happen w. the mouse. In addition sometimes my cursor seems to have a mind of its own and starts to make its way across the screen in small little back & forth motions until it reaches the right hand side and then makes its way back across (repeat).
    I have contacted Apple Support a few times w. this issue and their standard response is to restart and reset the OS and RAM. The problem continues to persist and I am at the point where what I am left with a machine that is pretty much unusable.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Have you tried reinstalling the OS? That would be my first port of call... unless you're sure it's a hardware issue.

  • Mighty mouse usb and wireless issues with OSX 10.6.1

    Since upgrading to OSX 10.6.1 I have experienced intermittent mighty mouse issues with both the USB and wireless mouse. Essentially the mouse works as a pointer. However, I cannot select anything or use the mouse buttons. I need to re-start the machine in order to get it to work properly again. Anyone else had this issue or have suggestions for fixing it?

    Pushing the power button briefly on my iMac turns off the display and stops the hard drive running (both my internal and external drive). Pushing it briefly again brings everything back up in about 2 seconds - it's not a full startup. That's why I call it "sleep" - cause that's what it seems to be doing.

  • Software issue iphone 4s:Apps open and close by themselves almost as if someone is pressing the buttons, anyone have this issue?

    Recieved my 3rd iphone  4s due to battery issues and got another dud. While in use, the apps  will open and close on there own, email will get deleted while I'm reading them or archived. while looking through my contacts directory, the phone will select a contact creating an outbound call. This is frustrating. Any one else have this issue?

    Hi Ralph9430,
    I've tried this numerous times and have the same issue. I've even restored the phone to factory settings and removed everything and problem persists.

  • Compilation of Lenovo X120e issues and solutions

    Just thought a compilation of issues may be beneficial for folks who own an X120e.
    Screen adjusts brightness automatically without user input depending on content on screen:
    http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/X100e-screen-brightness-increasing-by-itself/td...
    This is caused by Vari-Bright being enabled in the Catalyst Control Center.  With this option enabled, the screen will automatically adjust its brightness depending on what is shown on the screen.  The display brightness is increased when the screen is predominantly white while the display brightness is decreased when the screen is predominantly dark.  An easiest way to see this effect happening is to have two tabs opened in a web browser window.  Set one tab to display a website that is mainly filled with white pixels (such as this Lenovo Forum) and another tab to display a website that is mainly filled with dark pixels (such as http://www.krijtenberg.nl/ ).  Switch between the two, pausing a few seconds in each tab.
    Solution:
    Open the Catalyst Control Center and select the PowerPlay option in the Power section.  Uncheck the Vari-Bright option (or adjust the slider) and click Apply.  Verify that the automatic adjustment is no longer occuring by doing the two tab experiment described above.
    Function keys for brightness control not working after waking from sleep / hibernation in some instances:
    http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/x120e-Funtion-keys-for-brightness-not-working/t...
    For my X120e, whenever I have it sleeping or hibernating and change the power source (such as initiating sleep when on power and then waking it up while on battery, or vice versa), the function keys for brightness controls do not work.
    Solution:
    Restarting the machine will bring back functionality of the brightness control keys...
    A way to prevent this from happening in the first place is to wake the X120e in the same power state that the X120e was put to sleep in (wake up from power adapter if slept while connected to power adapter, or wake up from battery if slept while on battery).   
    All we can do now is wait for Lenovo to come up with a fix on their side of things.
    AMD SATA Controller and TRIM for SSD:
    The AMD SATA Controller provided by Lenovo does not support passing of TRIM command according to http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/450343-post35.html for SSDs.  The Lenovo provided AMD SATA Controller is 1.2.1.197, before the official TRIM support in 1.2.1.263.  If you're using a HDD, this is of no concern.
    Solution:
    In order to have support for passing of TRIM command, one has to update the AMD SATA Controller to any version above 1.2.1.263 ( http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/integrated_win7-64.aspx#3 for Windows 7 64-bit, for example) or uninstall the AMD SATA Controller to revert back to Microsoft's Standard AHCI 1.0 Serial ATA Controller. 
    Disclaimer:  Since the AMD SATA Controller driver linked is not from Lenovo themselves, I'm sure they won't provide any support if something is to occur so try at your own risk.
    As HP79 mentions below, at least according to the update notes, TRIM implementation is implemented for Hudson chipsets as of 1.2.001.263.
    Audio Stutter / Slurring occuring during playback of video/audio:
    http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/x120e-Stuttering-Audio/td-p/389023
    This issue can be reproduced (at least on my X120e) by waking the X120e after putting it to sleep.  The symptom is the audio repeating a sound over a span of a second or two during playback and is quite noticable. 
    Solution:
    uEFI Bios version 1.11 seems to deal with the audio stuttering issue.  So far, results lead to positive outcomes.
    Old Solution:
    PWMTR64V.DLL that is loaded at Startup seems to be causing this issue.  Disabling it from launching when starting up seems to cure the Audio Stutter (even after waking up from sleep which was seen to be a pretty reliable way to get the issue to repro).  Start Menu > Launch MSCONFIG from the Search Bar > Select Startup Tab from the System Configuration window > Uncheck Thinkpad Power Manager > Restart. 
    This does not seem to turn off the power manager application itself so settings in Power Manager can be saved and it seems to still be in effect.  However, opening up Power Manager from the notification / taskbar can cause audio stuttering and mouse movement slowdown while it is launching and/or when applying settings.  This is only temporary and is gone when Power Manager is closed. (Thanks kns7977 for the find)
    Pending to see if those who uninstalled Power Manager are able to turn off the offending startup .dll.
    Mouse seems to stutter or stay in place for a moment when moving:
    This seems to be caused by the same issue causing the Audio Stutter / Slurring.  At least at this time, the cause of the issue and solution seems to be the same.
    Emulating Middle Mouse Button with Trackpoint:
    One can set up the middle button between the left and right click button for the TrackPoint to act like pressing a middle mouse button on a standard mouse by changing the scrolling type to Smooth instead of the default Standard. 
    Control Panel > Hardware & Sound > Mouse > UltraNav Tab > Setting for TrackPoint > Setting for Choose Scrolling or Magnifying Glass Function > Smooth.
    Trackpad's two finger gesture being hit or miss:
    The trackpad's two finger scrolling is very hit and miss.
    http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/X120e-Touchpad-issues/td-p/393751
    Solution: Turning off Gesture Filtering may alleviate the problem.  As mentioned in http://forum.notebookreview.com/lenovo-ibm/561751-x120e-owners-thread-24.html#post7323293, it seems that the Gesture Filtering is counteracting any sort of two finger input.
    Get to Mouse Properties by Fn + F8, select Manage Settings.  At Mouse Properties, select the UltraNav tab > Settings for TouchPad.  Expand the Smart Check Settings, highlight Gesture Filtering, and uncheck the Enable Gesture Filtering box and Apply. 
    Screen flickers lines:
    http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/x120e-Flickering/td-p/389523
    Had this issue occur on me once, but never seen it happen again.  Unsure what caused or cured it.
    Solution:
    If the flickering is occuring, a restart is all that is needed to alleviate the problem.  Haven't tested if hibernation fixes it, but neither sleep nor turning off the screen with the Power Manager dealt with the flickering.
    3-Cell Battery mentioned as a 40Wh in the Order Page of Lenovo X120e when it is actually rated as 32Wh according to Power Manager:
    http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/X120e-3-cell-40Wh-battery-reported-as-32Wh-by-P...
    Yeah...
    Solution:
    Accept that it's a 32Wh you will get when selecting 3-Cell or go for the 6-Cell if you want more than 32Wh.
    2x2 ABGN Driver from Lenovo triggering Error Code 10:
    http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/X120e-ABGN-Driver-issue-in-Windows-7-Pro-x64/td...
    The Wireless driver from Lenovo's site seems to not work with the 2x2 ABGN wireless when installed on a fresh copy of Windows 7 x64.
    Solution: 
    Not really quite a solution, but one can bypass this by either installing the 32-bit Windows 7 and installing the 32-bit driver, or using the factory recovery disc to install 64 bit windows 7 to have it install drivers that work for x64 windows 7.
     X120e bluescreens after installing LAN Realtek 7.26.902.2010 drivers from Lenovo's Driver download site.
    http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/x120e-bluescreen-when-installing-lan-drivers/td...
    The drivers doesn't seem to work and it causes a bluescreen on fresh installed Windows 7 x64.
    Solution:
    As Clicq suggests, Realtek's own drivers from http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTy... seems to deal with the issue. 
    Screen quality on the X120e:
    http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/x120e-poor-LCD-quality-viewing-angles/td-p/3945...
    The quality of the screen on an X120e is below expectations.
    This is common with low-quality TN panels not helped by glossy displays.  My personal X120e screen likes to bleed certain colors of red.
    Solution (not really): 
    One can use the Windows 7 built-in color calibration tool to adjust the colors to make it more tolerable.  Adjusting your own viewing angle in relation to the screen might deal with some color issues (hard to figure out what's the correct viewing angle because of TN panel's small range of optimal viewing angles).  Also, changing the refresh rate to 60Hz may deal with some headaches due to the screen (as it did for me).
    HDMI Overscan to HDTV issue:
    http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/HDMI-overscan-to-HDTV-issue-on-x120e/m-p/395335
    There is a black border when outputting to HDTV through HDMI.
    Solution:
    AMD's CCC by default sets a specific value for overscan / underscan.  One can http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/Output-to-TV-via-HDMI-port-black-border-on-the-... while the device is connected via HDMI (the option is hidden if the HDMI port is not used) and adjust the slider to an acceptable value.
    Skype asserts after 10-20 seconds of video chat:
    http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/x120e-Skype-quits-after-10-20-seconds-of-video/...
    When doing a video chat, the video feed will freeze and then skype will crash to desktop.
    Solution:
    Version 5.3 of Skype seems to be the culprit.  Until Skype itself is fixed, one can use Skype 5.2.60.113 from http://www.filehippo.com/download_skype/changelog/9465/ to bypass this issue.  Just reject any offer to update to 5.3 after installing 5.2, for now.
    If there is anything I missed, please respond and I'll update this post with new information.  These are the ones that I have encountered so far with my Lenovo X120e.  Don't get me wrong, I like my X120e... it's just been a "learning" experience lol

  • HP Envy 15 Heating Issues and Screen Damage

    Hello,
    This is going to be quite long since I'm going to explain everything in as much detail as possible.
    I bought my HP Envy 15 (j123tx) in September 2014 and for three months I had absolutely no issue with it (work wise and gaming wise) until one day I booted up the computer and noticed that a big rectangular portion of the screen (on the top - in the rectangular area that aligns with the touchpad when the lid is closed) was discoloured. Specifically it was much darker than the rest of the screen on a black background and yellow on a white background. 
    After checking to see if there was anything on the screen's surface, I realized it was a hardware issue and decided to use my warranty (of which I have another 8 months or so remaining). I told the retailers about the issue and they told me it could be because of the pressure applied on the lid (when it is closed) that affects the screen specifically in that area since the touchpad is a bit sunken in to the notebook's body. After expressing my displeasure at how inconvenient that is since I've taken very good care of my notebook and have only transported it in the HP notebook bag, they promised me that they would send it to the HP Service Center in Sri Lanka who would replace the display panel for me (obviously since my notebook is still under warranty).
    After 10 working days, I went over to the retailer's warranty center and collected my notebook with the display panel replaced and the problem gone. I did however notice that the technicians had pasted a note next to the touchpad which read "Check  the temperature of the touchpad. It could be heating up and damaging the screen". I asked the retailer's technicians what this meant and they told me that since the notebook has a magnesium (or magnesium based) body, it tends to heat up. The heat could also be heating up the touchpad (since that too seems to be made of magnesium). As a result whenever I close the lid of my notebook, the rectangular screen area directly above the touchpad could be heating up and thus getting damaged.
    Now this to me seems like a huge product defect. I've been using HP notebooks for more than 8 years and I've never heard of this issue before. I asked the technicians how I could prevent this from occurring again and they told me to use the little cloth that came with the laptop when I bought it that is placed under the lid (between the screen and the keyboard) when the lid is closed.
    While using that little cloth doesn't seem to be quite inconvenient, I'm very afraid that the problem will occur again and I'll have to get it fixed again which involves transferring all my data and losing my notebook for 2 weeks which is highly problematic for me as I require it for work. Should the problem occur again outside the warranty period, I feel I may have wasted a good amount of money on this notebook when I trusted HP over its competitors simply due to my past experiences with its reliability, durability and performance.
    While I realize this is not a current issue - I would really like to know if this issue has been experienced before (my search did not turn up anything related) and if I do have to be worried about it happening again and if so, how I should go about handling it with the retailers (perhaps I should give it back and ask for a refund for selling me a defective product).
    Thank you sincerely.
    PS: I have attached a picture of the problem when it occurred for your reference.

    Thanks for the prompt reply WeiH.
    Sadly there doesn't seem to be an HP Service Center in my country (Sri Lanka). So now I'm really confused as to what my retailer's technicians meant by "we'll send it to the local HP Support Center and have your display panel replaced".
    Whatever they did, the display panel has been replaced and I've been using it for less than a week so far with no issues. The touchpad hasn't really been heating up and has in fact been as warm as the rest of the notebook. Perhaps it's because I have now turned on the option of disabling the touchpad whenever an external cursor device is attached (since I primarily always use a mouse).
    Needless to say, since we both have no clue as to how the touchpad overheated and damaged the screen (in the exact position and measurement as the touchpad) I feel like it's just a matter of time before it happens again.
    Obviously I understand that there's little you can do on your side other than direct me to an HP Support Center. However I hope my worries are justified as I feel that as a consumer I shouldn't have to worry about my brand new product malfunctioning by no fault of my own. 

  • Mouse buttons and keyboard randomly stop responding on secondary display

    Hey,
    I'm facing this weird problem after a recent upgrade to Snow Leopard:
    In about half of the cases I'm switching to application windows on a secondary/external display the mouse buttons and Macbook keyboard are unresponsive. I have to keep clicking/pressing for some time or have to switch between applications to get them working, until they'll fail again after some time.
    I tested it with two different external displays with VGA and DVI adapter, different screen resolutions, I tested the mouse and mouse software, both keyboard and mouse work fine with the same applications moved to the primary laptop screen, trackpad works fine too.
    This occurred after the upgrade to Snow Leopard on a 2008 unibody Macbook. Updates to 10.6.2 didn't solve the problem.
    I'd be happy if anyone could help me with this issue.
    Thanks

    You do not provide the full model number but if it is an AMD processor you are seeing the start of video issues that plague that series. The freeze is caused by bad video memory which is a part of the video card in turn part of the motherboard. I have been getting a high percentage of people who do not respond back to posts so I am not going to write everything about your issue; it could be a book. I am happy to help further if you have any questions. There are some repair options but at the end of the day, you might want to consider a new laptop.

    Remarks
    1.1
    Pasting of regular text results in double-line spacing. Pasting of code with Syntax Highlighting does not produce double-line spacing, but includes line numbers when pasting in a rich text editor window, or results in indented lines when pasting to the command prompt or plain text window.
    1.2
    Pasting of code with Syntax Highlighting includes line numbers when pasting into notepad or to the command prompt. Copying of normal text does not wrap and appears a single line when pasting into notepad.
    3.1
    Selecting of code and copying works, but selected text looks like a tape and is not visible.
    5.1
    Copy works find and does not include line numbers, but the text is indented.
    When pasting text into a rich text enabled editor window, it includes line numbers.
    5.2
    Code in syntax highlighting does not copy blank lines, but copies line numbers.
    6.1
    Only parts of a code segment can be copied, but not the complete code segment. Copy and paste always copies an additional line that was actually not selected.
    6.3
    Copy and paste only copies the code but not syntax highlighting, which can however be can be re-applied.
    8.1
    Applying syntax highlighting now applies a font that is suitable for displaying code.
    However, it is not possible to change the font, if necessary, or apply color or bold or highlighting. Color can be applied, which looks like double-vision, but anyway is removed when posting.
    10.1
    Not working reliably. Sometimes the last line selected is not changed, or only the first line changes.
    11.1
    Sometimes fonts are not displayed properly, for instance, the text insertion point may show Arial, but the text is Courier. There is no clear pattern when this happens or what triggers the problem.
    11.3
    The text insertion point or selected text always reports the font name "font family", regardless of the font applied.
    15.1
    Ctrl-z aborting editor functions under Firefox on Mac OS X. However, Cmd-z, which is standard, works properly. This problem does not affect Safari.
    Issue
    Steps to reproduce
    Workaround
    1
    Copy a couple or more lines of text from a discussion window and paste it into any application or document on your host system. For instance:
    The following may produce double line spacing:
    If there are two or more ways to do something, and one of those
    ways can result in a catastrophe, then someone will do it.
    The following should work correctly:
    If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will
    cause the most damage will be the first one to go wrong
    Use Shift-Return instead of Return to terminate the end of lines when creating text.
    Use a different browser to perform cut and paste operations, such as Apple Safari or Google Chrome.
    2
    Paste some text code into the forum editor window. Select the code and choose Syntax Highlighting:Plain from the editor toolbar (>>). Close and re-edit the thread. It is not possible to place the insertion point below the block of code in order to add any additional lines of code or to add any normal text. For instance:
    mknod compress_pipe p
    mknod export_pipe p
    chmod +rw export_pipe compress_pipe
    nohup split -b 8192m < export_pipe &
    nohup gzip < compress_pipe > export_pipe &
    exp system/passwd full=y direct=y consistent=y compress=n \
    buffer=10485760 file=compress_pipe
    It is possible to insert additional code or text below Syntax Highlighting, provided the frame it is not the end, as shown in issue 7.
    Add any line of text at the end of your code before applying Syntax Highlighting to the lines above.
    Adding code within the frame of Syntax Highlighting works in Safari and Google Chrome.
    3
    Re-edit a post with Syntax Highlighting. It is not possible to properly select any lines of code. An additional empty code line is added and the focus is shifted. The selection mask does not match the actual text. It is pretty much impossible to re-edit Syntax Highlighting.
    Screenshot: http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/6121/viun.jpg
    Use Safari or Google Chrome when to re-edit text or code under Syntax Highlighting.
    4
    Every subsequent edit of a post with Syntax Highlighting adds an empty blank line to the code block with an incremented line number. The resulting empty lines (07, 08) shown in the screenshot cannot be selected or removed unless there is text below the code frame as shown in issue 7. Screenshot: http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/5514/cxkd.jpg
    Removing of empty lines woks in Safari and Google Chrome.
    5
    When browsing code with Syntax Highlighting, it is not possible to select the code without the line numbers. Screenshot: http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/6626/j7n7.jpg
    Select and copy each line separately. Or use Firefox or Google Chrome, but note issue in Remark 5.
    6
    When editing, it is possible to copy and paste lines under Syntax Highlighting when selecting the lines, but not when selecting the complete Syntax Highlighting frame.
    Carefully select text without the Syntax Highlighting frame boundaries.
    7
    Empty lines and white space (identation) in Syntax Highlighting are suppressed when browsing, although they exist in the actual post. For instance:
    mknod compress_pipe p
       mknod export_pipe p
    Screenshot when editing the above code:
    http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/673/kmy4.jpg
    8
    Syntax Highlighting changes the font to Arial and it is not possible to apply something more suitable for the displaying of code, such as fixed-width Courier New.
    mknod compress_pipe p
    Arial: 1l0OI
    Courier New: 1l0OI
    Arial: 1l0OI
    Courier New: 1l0OI
    9
    It is not possible to paste any text into the editor window.
    Use a different web browser or downgrade to IE 10.
    Or enable F12 Developer Tools from the Tools menu. Press Ctrl-8
    Change the default document mode from Edge to IE 10. Select Leave this page.
    10
    Create a new thread and type several lines of text. Then select select several lines of text and choose a font, e.g. Courier New. Not all selected lines are changed and only a couple of lines remain highlighted. For instance:
    It is difficult to prove the existence of aliens.
    Photos exist with aliens, but they could be fake.
    On the other hand, photos without aliens could be fake too.
    11
    Select a line of text and change the font to Courier New. Then select the line again and it will show Arial. Change the font to Courier New and the text will change back to Arial.
    12
    Copy a URL and paste it into the editor window. The URL will be shown as a hyperlink using blue text. It is not possible to continue with normal writing without changing the text of the link. The text insertion point is captured inside the text of the link when trying to click below the link.
    After pasting the URL, use the arrow key or mouse to move the cursor to the end of the link, then press RETURN and start writing normally. You can than move the cursor to the beginning of the line and use BACKSPACE to move the text up, after the link.
    13
    When replying to a thread and pressing the Quote Previous Message button and then clicking inside the quoted text, for instance, to remove some of the content, it is sometimes no longer possible to move the text insertion point outside of the quoted text back to the normal editing area.
    When this happens it helps to switch to HTML and then switch back to the Full Editor.
    14
    While writing normal text in the editor, it sometimes becomes impossible to edit a line of text. When clicking on any text to move the text insertion point, it selects the complete paragraph instead. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/585/d0v5.jpg. When pressing the "Post Message" button, a dialog appears to "Stay" or "Leave" the page.
    Apparently the editor adds HTML label tags for no apparent reason, which can be seen when switching the editor to HTML mode. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/199/1r5a.jpg
    15
    Copy some text into the editor window. Select the text and choose Syntax Highlighting form the >> insert toolbar. Undo using Ctrl-z. It is no longer possible to use any of the >> insert functions. After that it is also not possible to post the message, resulting in an unexpected error and the content is lost.
    16
    Syntax Highlighting shows several <span> at the beginning and end of the Syntax Highlighting block after posting. This affects old and new posts.
    17
    When changing the width of a table column, entering the 2nd number gets punched into the cell content instead.
    After entering the first number, click in the entry field again to enter the 2nd number.
    18
    19
    Automatic insertion of links to support.oracle.com contains more info, including responses from Oracle staff.
    20
    Change the width of browser window until the editor toolbar appears. It will then stay on top when scrolling through pages.
    21
    Select Syntax Highlighting, Plain from the >> insert menu, then copy and past several lines of text (code) into it. Or, copy and paste the text, then mark the text with the mouse and select SH from the insert menu. Many times, the insertion point is not reflecting it's actual position when you click inside the text. Very often it is also not possible to position the insertion point to the end or beginning of a line using the left and right arrow keys; the insertion point jumps to the next line, even though the end of the line has not been reached.
    For instance:
    The text insertion point [|] is showing up between the words "point" and "is", but when pressing the delete key or entering text, it affects a different area.
    22
    The following is a picture with text and Syntax Highlighting.
    In tables, pressing the delete key will remove or rearrange the hover-up window.
    23
    The original or initial post of a thread is shown with a grey background when browsing. Depending on the web browser application, this background is also copied when doing a copy and paste of the text, provided the target window supports rich text editing.
    Change the target editor window to plain text.
    24
    After resizing a pasted image to the same size than the original, the quality is much worse. The following shows a screenshot of the original and copied image:
    When resizing a picture by moving the image end-points, the editor does no longer show the current picture dimensions (pixel x pixel) as it did in Jive 5. Also when copying a picture between documents, the picture is enlarged and requires resizing.
    25
    Copy and paste content from /etc/oratab, for example:
    The same also happens when pasting the text into a Syntax Highlighting field.
    It is often necessary to use undo (ctrl-z, cmd-z) to get rid of the mess.
    26

    Holy.... wow, this is helpful, thank you so much for kicking this off, Dude!
    BluShadow I know you are in favor of reenabling code formatting and ditching the Syntax Highlighter altogether. I've also heard that users would prefer the advanced editor to open by default. Anything else on the wishlist?
    correction, I would certainly be in favour (favor to you ) of reenabling code tags, mainly because I work quicker by copy/paste and by keyboard than by having to click through a load of buttons (that currently don't do what they should).  I've not said that syntax highlighting should be ditched altogether, and I'd certainly be in favour of it being there, just so long as it provided a decent formatting that was appropriate, so code actually looked like code, and the ability for people to copy/paste the code out of the forum to their own environment wasn't corrupted with double line spacing (as dude has already mentioned) and the addition of the line numbers it puts in (the line numbers are useful for reference on the forum, e.g. when we want to say "you're problem is on line X", but not good when you copy/paste code out to your environment and have to spend ages deleting them all to get the code to do anything).  If it's too difficult, then removing the line numbers from the code formatting would be preferable to having them there and not being able to copy the code out without them.
    I agree with dude that it would be good to be able to highlight portions of code with bold or colours, which the old forum didn't allow, but this one does, so it's really a combination of old and new that's needed.  And as dude highlights, the supressing of blank lines is a pain as it can make the posting of multiple code commands become all compressed and difficult to read, and is not representative of what we have in our interfaces such as SQL*Plus etc.
    Basic example:
    Copy paste from my SQL*Plus window into the forum (and me applying courier new and quoting it)...

    Obviously that's a basic example; in reality we can be providing a solution to someone, explaining multiple steps and commands to demonstrate their issue and the solution, and having to go back through the code once we've pasted it adding back in all the line spacings, is a real pain and time consuming.
    Certainly, having the advanced editor options available immediately for replying would be better than having to switch to it manually, especially as most people using these forums are going to want to paste code in (what with it being a technical forum and not really a social forum), and the basic editor just doesn't allow for any suitable code formatting (unless the person is mad enough to switch to HTML mode).

  • Mouse Lag and poor performance. Video Card or Power?

    Not specifically a FCP question but related. I recently purchased a new rig. Here are the specs.
    2 X 2.93Ghz 6 Core/16GB RAM/ ATI Radeon 5870 video card.
    I am having very odd mouse lag problems that are quite annoying. I am also having issues with playing sequences in unlimited RT. A guy in our office can play back better with an quad core. In regards to the mouse problem I have tried several different mouse and keyboard issues including a Wacom tablet and I get the same poor results.
    Some people say it could be my video card and some say it could be a dirty power issue. I took the rig back to the store and the tech geek in the back said it worked fine for him but when I showed up with the keyboard and mouse to test it he had boxed up the computer and gone home.
    Here is a clip of the screen and the weird jumpy jittery problem I am having.

    You can see the mouse and the window I am dragging freeze for a second even though I am mousing smoothly and continuously. The mouse and keyboard and Wacom tablet work perfectly on my old Dual Core.
    Any ideas?

    According to your video, it's happening in Finder, not just FCP,
    so it must be something systemwide.
    Is there something running in the background, like Spotlight indexing?
    System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy add your disks to be excluded.
    Anything else running in the background?
    Anything weird connected to your USB?
    Also turn off your Airport or any network connection and repeat the test.

  • Magic Mouse issues after updating to iTunes 11

    Hi,
    Just updated to iTunes 11, and immediately after installing I have been losing Bluetooth connection to my Magic Mouse.  This usually happens when I click on an icon in my dock to launch an App.  Specifically, most often when I am launching iTunes.  I've ruled out a battery issue, as I've replaced them and it doesn't make a difference.  I've even cleared my PRAM at startup (CMD+OPT+P+R at startup), since I saw this suggested for similar Magic Mouse issues not related to iTunes. Resetting the ram made no difference in my case.
    I've had the Magic Mouse for 2+ years, and this has never been an issue before.  In fact, I've never had any connection issues with the mouse that weren't related to weak batteries, and everything was working great until I installed iTunes 11.  Just wondering if others have had this issue since upgrading to iTunes 11, and if so, how it was corrected?
    Thanks.

    Hi, I've not had this issue, but iTunes 11 does seem to be doing something to my Magic Mouse. For example within iTunes 11 I can no longer swipe forwards and backwards. Not sure if there is some kind of hitch with the new iTunes software and the Magic Mouse firmware?
