My mouse disappears when moved over any text box?

After downloading Mozilla Firefox, my mouse no longer appears when moved over text boxes, such as the box I am typing in now. Any ideas? Thanks.

when your moving your arrow cursor over textbox its changes to Text cursor
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
<b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

Error KeyNote 09 with mouse right click over any text box

Hi,
I always receive the message "Unexpected error" when right click over any text box on Keynote 09.
I have tried everythin (remove preferences, reinstall, ...) but nothing works...
Any suggestion?
Regards,

Hi All,
I found the culprit to be Babylon as well. Instead of removing Babylon, I changed the key combination to something funky like CMDOPT+SHIFTMOUSE click to call up the translator. After doing so, the Keynote right-click error went away.

Lagging when rolling over objects, text boxes, images in indesign CS5

I just installed CS5 suite onto my new upgraded machine. In InDesign, whenever I roll the cursor over and object, image, text box, there is about a 1-2 second lag in the cursor, almost like my system freezes as Indesign differentiates between the bounding boxes. My system is brand new and exceeds all system requiremnts for running CS5. Photoshop renders 3D lightning fast and I have encountered no other issues in any of the other Apps so far. Indesing itself runs fine until there are multiple frames on a page at which point just moving the pointer from one side of the screen to the other results in choppin movements and lag. Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Set your Live Screen Drawing preference to delayed. Does that help?

How to highlight cell in a tree programatically when mouse arrow is moved over it

Hi
I would like to highlight a particular cell in a tree when a mouse arrow is moved over it. Similar to wndows drop down menu. Can anybody help me on these.
Regards
Bharath
Solved!
Go to Solution.

But I find an issue with this. When there are items with same values in the tree, it always points to the first matched value (even if I set the active item tag to the one where I want to point to). For example, if I have a tree with values "Hello, Hi, Bye, Hello" and then I set the value to "Hello", it points to the first "Hello" even if I set the tag to the second yellow. Do you know any easy work around for this? Thank you!

Why do items disappear when moved to the desktop?

Why do items disappear when moved to the desktop?

Are you perhaps referring to dragging an item out of the Dock and onto the Desktop?
If so, they are intended to poof-disappear when you do that.
The reason - the icons shown in the Dock are a form of alias, not the real item. Any running app will have its icon shown there; and those that do appear there can be made to stick even when the program is quit. This means that there must be a mechanism to get rid of them, else there would eventually be too many. One way is to right-click or Control-click the item, then select Remove from the popup menu that appears. A more convenient way is to just drag them off of the Dock and have them disappear.
If you want to replace an item on the Dock, just drag the item to the Dock, wait for the items already there to make room for it, then drop it onto the Dock. Apps can only be placed to the left of the vertical dashed line; folders can only be placed between the dashed line and the Trash.

Since moving to Maverick and the new updated of Keynote, I have a constant problem when typing in a text box, the program crashes. Is there a bug fix for this. Drives me nuts.

Since moving to Maverick and the new updated of Keynote, I have a constant problem when typing in a text box, the program crashes. Is there a bug fix for this. Drives me nuts. Like many who can type quite quickly but at secretarial level, the text box freezes, nothing works and you know what's coming...crash!
This is most annoying. Is there bug fixes for this. Apparently I have the current updates and this problem still exists. Is it a Maverick bug or Keynote.

How did you install Mavericks, as an update ontop of the previous OS or did you wipe the drive and install clean?

White Balance Selector Disappears when moved across the image

Hi
I am using LR 4.4 on an iMac.
Does anyone know why the White Balance Selector tool would disappear when moved across an image?
it seems to change to a vertical line with an arror top and bottom.
The areas of the image on which it disappears seem to be consistent, in other words, it disappears on the same portion of the image eveytime.
UPDATE: Since posting the above a few minutes ago I've noticed that my cursor is behaving eractically. For example, on a different image to the one used above, in the library module using the Loupe the cursor changes from a magnifying glass to an arrow pointing to the right. It does this on the same part of the image every time.
Thank you for your help
Regards

Weird cursor problems are a FEATURE of the APPLE os.
There are complaints on the APPLE os system website since 2005.
The last time I checked there were 30 pages of discussions about this on the apple site
https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/os_x_mountain_lion.
I don't think APPLE has a clue as to how to fix this. It is seen in many apps, photoshop most commonly, lightroom,textedit,exxcel, and others.
Pray that something happens in soon to be released 10.8.4.

When I type into any text box the background of the box is blue and when I try to google something I can't see what I am typing...anyone know how to fix this?

Any text box I type in the background is blue no matter what, if the website is dark the font is white and I can't read what I am typing. When I type in Google my typing doesn't show up unless I highlight it. Any help?

That can be caused by the "Keystroke protection" in Comcast Constant Guard.
"Configure Anti-Keylogging Settings" -> disable

Font change when I make a text box transparent

Hi All
I have been using Captivate 4 for over a year and have just come across a strange event.
When I change a text box caption type from a coloured background, such as adobe blue, adobe pop up etc, to transparent, the font type and style change from what I originally had and I am unable to change it back.
For example I am using Verdana 12 black in adobe blue caption. When I change this to transparent the font style changes to something else, even though the application still says the font is Verdana 12 black. It is very obvious it is a different font to Verdana as the other text on the slide that has not been changed to transparent looks very different to the transparent text box font.
This font looks nothing like Verdana as it is smaller and thicker; it resembles Arial Black though it is not quite that either.
This change occurs when I am using a text box on its own or a text box associated with a roll over slidelet.
Does anyone have any idea what is happening, and should I post this in bug fixes?
cheers

Hi there
In addition to Lilybiri's advice, you can also typically achieve the desired effect by editing the Text Caption and positioning the cursor at the end of all text. Just press Ctrl+End to do this. Then press Enter a couple of times to introduce a couple of blank lines. Then format the last line as bulleted. After that, adjust the size of the caption so you don't see the bulleted blank line.
Cheers... Rick

Cannot type text in any text box Firefox will handapp

I have a laptop running windows 7 64bit. I am not able to type in any browser text boxes. I have tried safe mode in Firefox and that does not help. I have deleted the firefox profiles and completely removed firefox. I just did another install of firefox ver 25.0.1. I have now problems using the mouse, but as soon as I try to type in a field the program will freeze and I will get the error box asking if I want to close the program look for a solution and close program or wait it out. If I look at the problem details it says, A problem caused this program to stop interacting with windows.

Also in IE10 I have basically the same issues. If I do go through the system tools and load Internet Exployer with no addins I am able to go to the URL box and type in www.bing.com and hit enter and it will go to that page but once there I can not again type in any text box. Add shortly later IE just goes away like in a crash.

Some have reported that pressing F9+Windows one or more times has worked to fix issues with the keyboard not working.

Can you extend multiple over set text boxes at once?

I am in the process of changing many large Indesign files from MAC to PC which has created, in some cases, hundreds of over set text boxes.
I'm looking for a faster way of fixing these files as extending each of these text boxes one by one is taking up a lot of time. I am currently using the pre-flight panel.
I have Indesign CC 2014.1.

Not the answer to your question, but merely moving from Mac to PC should not be causing text to go overset. Seems likely you've got a font substitution, or perhaps you've also changed the version of ID, or both.
Do you have an object style assigned to the text frames? Perhaps redefining the style to include auto-sizing will solve the problem.

Frequently, when I click a text box to enter text, Firefox will display multiple vertical text cursors.

This problem began with the recent update to Firefox 4. It happens most regularly in the Google search box but can also happen in any text box within Firefox. Usually I highlight the text box to enter text and I will see the normal text cursor (blinking vertical line) as well as one or two additional non-blinking vertical lines positioned after the blinking one. I can enter text and all visible (blinking or not) cursors move to the right. When I delete a line of text it often leaves a string of solid vertical lines.
I never had this problem in version of Firefox prior to 4.0 and upgrading to 5.0 did not fix it. It got so annoying that I started using a different browser, which I would rather not do because I like Firefox. I have spent a number of hours trying to figure out what is wrong and how to fix it with no luck. Any help resolving this issue would be much appreciated.

I deleted cookies and cleared cache and (so far) problem appears to be solved thank-you.

Photos disappear when moving a project into a folder

If I move a project into a subfolder, the images from that project no longer appear in the browser of thumbnail viewer. If I hover my mouse over the project, it shows the correct number of versions in that project, but for whatever reason, Aperture is unable to display those images until a reboot of the program. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi all
I too have had the same issue but seem to have found a way around it...it might work for you too. Its really simple!!! Ive tried troubleshooting etc but non of that has worked. Ill explain my problem first.
I drag a project into a new folder and the images disappear although when holding mouse over project it still tells me how many versions are there (the photos have not been deleted, aperture is just not seeing them - a glitch perhaps?
I then go into projects and find that particular one. The images appear there as thumbnails but when double clicking into that project they still are not there.
THE FIX - I simply drag that project over any other one and merge them. Then I hit undo (ctr z). Then presto they are back. I go into that project again and they are all there. Took me bloody ages to figure that out but its an easy fix and one I can live with.

DIV tags disappear when put over swf file background

I am working on a site which has a swf movie as a background
which fills the browser window(SWFobject). When I place DIV tags,
which reference a CSS id and contain swf files as well, over the
top (for absolute positioning, etc.) they disappear when previewed
in a browser . Is there a reason that the swfobject always takes on
top position in the browser? Do I need to change something in the
SWFoject javascript file, in the code or within either the CSS file
or the dreamweaver HTML code? Here is a link to a site that is very
similar to what I am working on.
http://www.pronghornclub.com
Any help would be most appreciated.

All Active content on a page will always rise to the top, so
to speak,
including Flash, certain form elements, Java applets, and
Active X controls.
This means that each of these will poke through layers. There
is not a good
cross-browser/platform reliable way to solve this issue, but
if you can be
confident in your visitors using IE 5+ or NN6+, then you can
use the Flash
wmode parameter (however, Safari does not support this
properly!).

Popup status doesn't disappear when moving focus within framesets

I developed and manage a website that makes extensive use of frames. When I click on a link in one frame that opens a page in an adjacent frame moves focus there. The problem is that the the popup status that appeared in the origin frame displaying the link to the just-opened window doesn't then disappear, but remains visible even though that frame is no longer active. This would appear to be a bug. Can it either be fixed or a work-around suggested? Please don't comment on frames being obsolete. Thanks

Adding on to original query. In fact this behavior only occurs when transferring to a frame containing a data entry form. Then, if I move the cursor over any other hyperlink, say in the side favorites menu, the popup disappears. Quite annoying, particularly since I previously used the status bar to inform users of valid / invalid input quantities on these forms.

My mouse disappears when moved over any text box?
