Moving anchor point with arrow keys crashes Photoshop CC

Hey guys,
I've recently run into this bug many times while working with shapes. Don't really know what initiates it but it's super annoying as it crashes the PS CC completely without possiblity of recovering the unsaved files.
The bug appears while working with shapes after file is saved and reopened. Because I use to design pixel-perfect UIs, I work with arrow keys a lot to be sure every pixel is in the right place. So after selecting one or more anchor points of shape and hitting any arrow key (to move it by pixel), photoshop immediately crashes with this super-long description of bug: http://justpaste.it/ccshapecrash
Dunno why but this occurs very often when handling 1px-thin rectangles.
Is it only me or has anybody else experienced this as well? Any idea what exactly is causing it or what might be wrong with my config?
Never seen that kind of error in Photoshop before. It completely destroys my everyday workflow

I have exactly the same problem and I don't have any solution. I was tried to update the latest video drivers - nothing! Tried to update Photoshop which updates fixes bugs - nothing! The problem continues.
My OS is Windows 8 64bit, video card Nvidia GT 630. For the case, my Photoshop 32x works better (faster) than the 64x. Why is that ? I hope to have a solution.

Direct selection - moving anchor points with keyboard arrow keys

Hi,
I am using Illustrator CC. I just used the image trace tool to create a vector version of my company logo. It worked pretty well, but I am now just trying to clean it up a bit. I have a few anchor points that I just want to nudge up or down in the smallest increment possible.
I think it would be easier for me to do this using the keyboard arrow keys rather than using the mouse, but the arrow keys cause my selected anchor point to jump by way too large of a distance. I checked to make sure Smart Guides, Snap to Grid, and Snap to Point are all turned off. I can't think of anything else to do.
Can anyone tell me what controls how far the keyboard arrow keys will move an anchor point, and how I can set this to the smallest possible distance?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

Under Preferences (Command-K on Mac), on the first screen there is Keyboard Increment. This is the amount the arrow keys will move selected content, such as anchor points.
I usually keep this at "0.005 in", but when doing things that need extreme accuracy, I change it to "0.0002 in", which on my screen (2560 x 1600) is one pixel at AI's 6400% magnification.

Labview 2009 SP1 crashes when moving large selection with arrow key

If I select a lot (10 or 15) of Block Diagram components and try to move them some distance with the arrow key, I will frequently get a program crash. Since a smaller number of components seems to crash after a longer travel distance, it looks like some kind of buffer overflow error. I do not see this problem when using the mouse to move selections.
I have checked to be sure I have the latest video driver for my NVIDIA Quatro FX570. I have also tried working with no hardware acceleration and no combined writes. This is happening on Windows XP SP3 with all the current updates.
It has become so bad that I have to do a Save As every fifteen minutes to keep from losing data.
Why don't I use my mouse for all movements? Because it is not as accurate and not so easy to restrict to one dimension of movement. My hand is not as steady as it once was.
I hoping someone will have a suggestion that will clear up this problem.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

As I indicated, I had the same problem with 8.5 and just DID a new installation of Labview 2009.
Since it is possible my three-monitor setup, which obviously requires more video memory, may be at the root of the problem, I am satisfied with the workaround of dragging the objects near their final destination and then using the arrow keys.
Three monitors are ideal for front panel, block diagram and Help/Internet/Probe Window. When I had to work in the field with only one monitor, I felt severely handicapped.
You may consider the matter closed.
Thanks for attempting to duplicate the failure.

Moving a line with arrow keys/can't adjust distance

In Illustrator CS6 I can't adjust how far a line moves when I move it using the arrow keys. I've gone to Preferences>General>Keyboard Increment and changed the amount, but the line moves the same distance no matter what I put in. Neither Snap to Grid nor Snap to Point are turned on.

Thank you Mike! It was driving me crazy. I just started to use CS6 and hadn't messed with any adjustments. How would someone know to check such a seemingly obscure--except to come to the forum?

Moving Movie Clips with Arrow keys

How do i make it so when i click the left arrow key, it will
change the movie clip to make it turn around?

Yes, that's what the code I gave you is intended to do....
you replace that code with whatever action you need to take to turn
your movie around.
I have no idea what your movieclip is doing, but I'm guessing
by your response that if it was an arrow pointing left to right
(just an example), you want it to be pointing right to left when
the left arrow is pressed. If you want an immediate turn around,
then the simplest way to do that is to have another frame
containing the movieclip that it moves to where it faces the other
direction--and to have it appear turned around, from the toolbar
you select Modify -> Transform -> Flip Horizontal.
So the movieclip would live inside another movieclip that has
two frames with stop()'s for each frame. In the first frame you
would have the subclip facing left to right, and in the second you
would have it facing right to left. If we call that 2-framed
movieclip "walker", the code I provided before would
become...

Moving Identity Plate with Arrow Keys

I have always been able to move my identity plate around using the arrow keys. For some reason, it doesn't work any more. I am using Lightroom 2.3. I know that this is a small problem, but I sure would like to know how to remedy this. Thanks!

Hi Ken,
This is how I have done it.
1. Create identity plate in Illustrator and save as an Illustrator file = .ai
2. Go to Overlays in Lightroom and check Identity Plate
3. Within the Identity Plate checkered box, you will see a pull-down menu on the bottom right
4. Select Edit
5. Select the radio button: "Use a graphical Identity Plate"
6. Locate the ai file and select Choose (You might not see anything in the window, but don't worry about that
7. Select Custom
8. Choose Save As and give it a name
9. Select OK
Now, when you go into that checkered box within the Identity Plate window, you will now see your new Identity Plate (ai graphic) listed. Select it, and it will be displayed on your photograph. Sometimes, I have to select it twice (not sure why) for the resolution to be high quality. Good luck and let me know how it works out.

Artifacts when moving object with arrow keys.

Hi all
hope this is the right place to post this question.
I want to to write simple arkanoid game in Flash (AC3). I've managed to write code that moves my paddle with arrow keys. The code looks like this:
function OnNewFrame(event:Event):void
    if (input.IsLeftHeld)
        if (paddle.x > 0)
            paddle.x -= 10;
    else
    if (input.IsRightHeld)
        if (paddle.x < stage.stageWidth - paddle.width)
            paddle.x += 10;
It works but the result is ugly. The animation is not fluent, there are times when paddle stops for a moment . Also when speed of translation is high (here it is 10) you can see that paddle is flickering at the ends, it looks like single buffering problem. You can see both of those effects here: http://www.flash-game-design.com/flash-tutorials/movOb.html , hovewer flickering is less visible due to small translation amount.
How to fix this? How can i enable double buffering (or maybe it is enabled by default)? Any help will be appreciated.
P.S. sorry for bad english

Thanks for samples, this is very kind ; p
Hovewer you are doing everything almost exactly as I'am doing. Tou are using mySymbol.x++ which means your translation speed is 1. Also I'am aware that rising frame rate will result in smoother animations, but this is not the point. So once again, my flash applications suffer from two problems:
1) Animations are not smooth. You can see this crealrly in here: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/hittest.htm , go back to the very bottom of the page, there is an animation window, look at the smallest circle. It looks like its blinking.
2) Moving symbols with arrow keys with the method i've presnted in the first post (the same method that infeter uses ). Moved symbol is randomly stopping for the very (very very) short amount of time. You can easily spot this in infeter sample.
Many sample applications i've seen suffer from those issues. and nobody seems to see the problem, so maybe I am delusional? ; p
cheers and thank for help

How to change the presets in pop-up menus (CS6 or CR 7, example Photo Filter) with arrow keys?

How to change the presets in pop-up menus (CS6 or CR 7, example Photo Filter) with arrow keys an see at the same time the changes on the photo?
It worked under Windows, now I use OS 10.8 and have to apply a preset with a click or Return button but after that the pop-up menu close so I have to open it once again to change a preset. Please help. Thank you!

The filter panel is a shortcut for the content panel and it only effects the content of that window. So if you have a folder it will only see this as a folder and not with its content. (a Stack behaves about the same, being different in only counting the first file in the filter panel criteria but not what is in the stack itself)
You have a view work arounds, first is use menu view / show items from subfolders (this can take some time especially if you have not used caching before on this content) and this builds visible thumbs for all content and that can be used for filtering.
Or use the find command (Edit / find) and inhere specify the source and fill in the criteria include subfolders and this will give you the correct result.
When you create a smart collection the find command also pops up given you the same opportunity to get the results in a collection, but since a collection is only a bunch of aliases referring to the originals you might be a bit careful with editing and deleting.

Why i am unable to select between 2 anchor points with in a object while dragging with direct select

why i am unable to select between 2 anchor points with in a object while dragging with direct selection tool instead it moves

Another option is to temporarily change your view to outline mode, when your done switch back to preview mode. Ctrl-Y or View>Outline {View>Preview} The menu option will change depending on which mode you are in.
And another option, double click on the object in question to place it in Isolation mode. You can now edit to your hearts content. When done, click on the gray border at top of document.
So as you can see there are multiple ways of accomplishing the same thing.

Can't move an object with arrow keys - CS3

In Fash CS3, suddenly, in certain files, I can't move an object left using arrow keys - but I can move the same object right, or if I hold down Shift + left arrow, it works correctly
Also - I can move the object down with arrow keys, but not up
Workaround - move an object on a different layer, then return to the problem object and it moves correctly. But this doesn't last long, the problem resurfaces.
Does anyone have a solution for this? (I've tried rebooting; tried copying all the layers into a new file - no help.)

Now, working in the same file, I just clicked on a stroke and it changed the stroke from a smooth curve to angular lines.
I suspect this file is corrupt. Any thoughts on how to salvage the weeks of work that have gone into it? Every version of this file has the same issues.
Thanks for any help.

How to make a first-person style game with arrow key movement?

Hey guys, I've made some simple click-to-move 1st person games with AS3, but I just wanted to know if there was a way to move around in 1st person with arrow keys, I was thinking you could get the background to move with the arrow keys, but that would be a little confusing.
If you guys have any suggestions for me, or if it's possible, please reply! Thanks

Here is a basic switch usage to move something with the keyboard:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, move_mc);
function move_mc(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
    switch(event.keyCode)
       case Keyboard.LEFT : mc.x -= 5
       break;
       case Keyboard.RIGHT : mc.x += 5
       break;
       case Keyboard.UP : mc.y -= 5
       break;
       case Keyboard.DOWN : mc.y += 5
       break;

Premiere CC Frame stepping with arrow keys

Why can I no longer step ahead or back one frame at a time with arrow keys after updating PremiereCC software?

It's working here for me xAndyx. Can you try trashing preference? Press Shift + Option and restart Premiere Pro (warning: you'll use any custom kb shortcuts, workspaces, etc.).
Thanks,
Kevin

PSE 8 Crash with arrow keys

Is there an update that will fix this problem? In Elements 8.0 sometimes when I attempt to use the move tool with the arrow keys (nudge) the program crashes. My work is not saved and PhotoShop closes. I have not found a trigger, but as soon as it happens once, it happens again and again. Saving, closing and re-starting PSE doesn't appear to help.
Just now I opened a layout, placed a photo frame on it and attempted to move it (pressed keyboard "v", then an arrow key) and the program crashed.
Thanks for your advice
Celine

Possibly the problem is procedural. If you haven't committed the frame and you see the handles around it, you don't need anything but the arrow keys.(No need to also activate move tool.) If it's committed, double click it and you should see the handles again and be able to use the keys.

Deisgn - Objects stop moving with arrow keys until a relaunch

In design mode, CR 2008, line objects and other design objects stop moving with the arrow keys and won't move more than one position until I either click on the object again and move it one position or I exit CR and relaunch that report. If I move a field object, and go back to a line or other graphic object, it will begin moving with the arrow keys again.
I have a dual monitor setup and wonder if that is my problem.
Thank you.

Hello,
Yes that is likely the problem. CR doesn't support dual monitors. Watch out for our Pop-ups, they may get hidden popping up on the other monitor behind another form.
Thank you

Moving anchor point using spacebar while drawing with pen?

If you're an Illustrator user, you may be familiar with the ability to move the active anchor point of the line, by holding "Spacebar" and dragging during the drawing process. This is a useful timesaver for creating complex paths. While Photoshop CS6 has introduced some useful new path-editing features, this is one that is still missing. I cant' figure out why Adobe does not make the pen tool identical between the two programs. This is an old feature in Illustrator. Don't the Adobe programmers talk to each other.
I'm just hoping/wishing someone could tell me the feature can be accessed in some other way, withing Photoshop.

Thanks, conroy. Yes, I'm familiar with that feature, but it requires clicking on the anchor point and dragging. The feature missing in PSD is the ability to move an associated anchor point while "holding" an associated direction point. This feature is activated, in AI, by holding down the Spacebar. It's a real timesaver and I miss it in PSD.
