New pixelated text issue

I have a new problem that just came up, all of the black text on my screen has suddenly started to look pixelated around the edges. Before all of my text was nice and smooth. It appeared to happen right after I installed the new security update. My computer froze twice on startup (the first time it has ever happened) right after I restarted from the update. I also had a couple minor preferences go away (homepage setting in Safari and the stock choices on my stock widget) I checked all of the display settings and nothing looks wrong. Any ideas??

  • New phone texting issues

    I just bought a new phone and now I am having trouble being able to receive text. I can send them but can not receive them.

    What type of phone did you purchase, and which texting app are you using? (Default, phone manufacturer app, Verizon Messages, Google Hangouts?) What brand and model was your old phone (going from Iphone to Android certain Apple services need to be discontinued). Are you basing it off one person trying to send you a text or multiple people. Are you able to receive a text that you send to yourself?

  • New Header Text for PR

    Dear colleagues,
    I have created a new header text for PR under object EBANH (as Z01) from transaction code SE75. This new header text appears when creating/changing PR but when I fill this new header text right behind saving of PR filled data disappears from this new header text of PR.
    Can you please advice how to solve this issue?
    Thanks.

    Hi Nick,
    EBANH is active if it wouldn't have than I couldn't maintain the original text area (B01) supplied by SAP. But I can simply maintain and save original header note of PR.
    Thanks.
    PS. Where can I see if EBANH is active or not?

  • The new 'improved text selection feature' is too sensitive.

    The new 'improved text selection feature' is too sensitive. It tends to highlight a whole page whenever i try to highlight just a single line. And then it keeps on crashing!
    Please fix!

    Could you please share your pdf file with us at [email protected] so that we can investigate this issue?

  • IE 6 - I really can't get rid of the 3-pixel text jog

    Hello,
    I'm afrait that's a bit more of the same about the 3-pixel text jog. I'm testing a website in IE6, have spent a whole day trying to figure out how to get rid of this jog, tried various solutions found in this forum and on the web, and nothing works. I don't understand why the zoom property works for most people except me!
    The website is here: http://www.cerc.co.uk/CERC/v02/
    I've put background colors to the main div tags to check the layout, so that's why it looks funny.
    I wouldn't be that bothered with a 3-pixel extra gap between elements if it wasn't turning some page layout upside down. For these pages, the content zone (light blue background) jumps down until the side menu bottom edge (yellow background).
    Examples of the problem:
    http://www.cerc.co.uk/CERC/v02/research.html
    http://www.cerc.co.uk/CERC/v02/support/training.html
    http://www.cerc.co.uk/CERC/v02/about/contact/enquiries.html
    (All other pages will show you how it's meant to be displayed.)
    If someone has an idea, I'd really appreciate to hear about it!
    Emilie
    P.S.: I also attach a screenshot to show what I'm seeing. This is in IE 6 on Windows XP emulated on Mac OS X 10.5 via VMware, so perhaps this problem only occurs with this computer configuration (which would then solve the problem!).

    If that may help anyone, I eventually managed to solve this problem! Here is the solution in "my" case. I thought it was only the 3-pixel text jog problem, but I needed two corrections and therefore I suspect I had two problems mixed—making it a total nightmare to debug for a newbie because the widely documented 3-pixel text jog fix didn't work.
    Context : in this page structure, the elements in trouble in IE 6 are the divs #SideMenu (the side menu, orangish background colour in the attached screenshot)  and #Content (the content area, blueish background colour). #SideMenu is floated left and has a width of 16 em. #Content is not floated and has a left-margin of 16 em (no width, it's supposed to take whatever is left on the page and the page is allowed to extend from 770 pixels to 970 pixels in width).
    Problem: for some pages with this HTML structure (and just nothing fancy inside #Content), the entire #Content div drops down until the top of #Content matches the bottom of #SideMenu.
    I needed two fixes, which I both coded to be for IE6 only using IE conditional comments.
    Fix 1: A new CSS rule for #Content that (re)sets the left margin to 16.5 em. That gives more room to the divs and the entire #Content div isn't dropping down any longer. However, after setting this up, some other pages started to show some problems: part of the content of #Content would drop down (e.g. a table inside #Content).
    Fix 2: applying the zoom: 1 property to #Content fixed this second problem.
    I hope this makes sense and might help someone else.

  • Three Pixel Text Jog

    When I do a Browser Compatibility Check using Dreamweaver CS3
    I received the error Three Pixel Text Jog.
    When I double click on the error, the following html gets
    highlighted:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    var MenuBar1 = new Spry.Widget.MenuBar("MenuBar1",
    {imgDown:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarDownHover.gif",
    imgRight:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarRightHover.gif"});
    var CollapsiblePanel1 = new
    Spry.Widget.CollapsiblePanel("CollapsiblePanel1",
    {contentIsOpen:false});
    </script>
    I've read up on Three Pixel Text Jog and understand that when
    anonymous line boxes (boxes that contain inline content) are
    adjacent to a float, a 3px gap appears between the line box and the
    edge of the float.
    But this doesn't seem relevant to my problem. Or does it?
    Anyone?

    The behavior is unexpected. The file paths are
    correct?

  • Question on the known solution to the "Three pixel text jog" problem

    Hello,
    I'm "browser-checking" my website using Dreamweaver CS4 tool for that. I've got in various places the "three pixel text jog" IE problem. I followed the link to solution proposed by DW. It says I should add an IE conditional statement in the <head> part, so that I can define the CSS zoom property for that particular element. Hence, something like that:
    <!--[if IE]>
    <style type="text/css">
    #Content p { zoom: 1; } /* three pixel text jog IE bug */
    </style>
    <![endif]--> 
    (assuming the problem occurs for a <p> inside my #Content div.)
    My question is: can I replace this by
    <!--[if IE]>
    <style type="text/css">
    #Content * { zoom: 1; } /* three pixel text jog IE bug */
    </style>
    <![endif]--> 
    For another browser problem (prevent the browsers from using some of their own default settings), it was advised to reset the margin, padding and border properties using:
       border: 0;
       margin: 0;
       padding: 0;
    (although in my case I had to later remove border: 0; because it would prevent default buttons of forms to be displayed as buttons.)
    Does this * really mean "anything"? Is it valid as used above for fixing the three pixel text jog problem? If not, do I really have to define this zoom property for any single HTML element for which it occurs? (It currently occurs for some headers, <div>, "<div> <div>" sequence, some <p>.)
    Any comment welcome...
    Emilie
    P.S.: I tried it and DW doesn't flag that problem any more, but I'm unsure how much I can trust it.

  • Anything new with keyboard issues in XP

    read alot of posts but doesnt appaer to be anything new on keyboard issues in XP. works for awhile then nothing.mouse does work. i dont have an old keyboard around i can use. was hoping it was something to do with XP settings.
    any word ?

    I seemed to have the same issues other people were reporting: USB keyboard would disconnect every five minutes or so, would sometimes re-connect by itself, would other times freeze and require re-plugging. The mouse would usually keep working even when plugged into keyboard. This would happen on all USB ports. It was most noticeable in Windows (through Boot Camp and through Parallels), but it would also happen less noticeably in OS X. In OS X, it would often recover without re-plugging, but errors would show up in the Console logs. It seemed to get worse the longer my computer was on.
    Turned out, for me at least, to be a faulty keyboard. Although I tested the keyboard on another computer and it was fine, on the Intel iMac it had the disconnection problem. I repaired permissions, verified the disk, reset PRAM, restarted in Safe Boot, but nothing helped.
    I called Apple about it. They replaced the keyboard under warranty, and since then (about two weeks) the problem has not occured once, in OS X or in Windows.
    If you haven't done so already, I recommend thorough troubleshooting. Disconnect all other peripherals other than the mouse and monitor your logs in OS X (open Console under Utilities) to see if USB errors come up. Boot into in Safe Boot mode by pressing Shift on start-up. If the error still comes up in OS X, as it did in my case, then you have a valid problem you can call Apple about. If it happens only in Windows, unfortunately it might be harder to make a case since Boot Camp is beta software. When you call Apple you can desscribe all the testing you already did.
    (are you still under warranty?)

  • Pixel text over opacity fill

    Hello,
    I have text on top of an 85% opacity white fill.  When I save as an eps the text gets pixelated when placed in InDesign.  It doesn't happen all the time.  When the InDesign file gets exported as a pdf I can open the file in Illustrator and I've found that the pixel text is a group.  I have screen shots of what I'm experiencing:
    Pixel text-
    Pixel group-
    I'd really like to find out what is causing this.  Beyond the text it is also affecting my vector lines.  I may have to stop using this technique and I'd rather that not happen.  Any solutions out there?  Has anyone else come across this?
    I might get around this by saving the eps as a high resolution transparency eps, but I still want to know if there is something going on that I'm not aware of.
    I've tried searching for pixelated text but have not found anything associated with Illustrator.  Please forgive me if this question is somewhere in the history.
    Any help/suggestions at all is very appreciated.  Thank you.
    Cheers,
    Geokatze

    Why EPS and not .ai or even pdf??? Is there some reason you're tied to the EPS format?
    EPS is a flat file format. When you add transparency (or blending modes) in Illustrator then save as na EPS the file gets flattened to maintain appearance. An easy way around this is to stop using the EPS format. It's really becoming antiquated. Youc an save as a .ai or .pdf and place in Indesign and all the transparency and layers will be maintained.
    You can also better prepare the file for an eps save by using the flattener preview.. Window > Flattener preview and the Flatten Transparency command in the Object menu. These will let you see what is getting flattened and how it's going to look when flattened allowing you to make adjustments within AI before saving as an eps.

  • If you change the image mode of this image from 8-bit RGB image to Grayscale mode while in PSCS – what will the new Pixel Count be?

    If you change the image mode of this image from 8-bit RGB image to Grayscale
    mode while in PSCS – what will the new Pixel Count be?

    If you mean by Pixel count the number of pixels, this will not change. The image will have the same size thus the same number of pixels.

  • Can we define a new header text (long text) in PR (ME51n)

    Dear Guru,
    I have some requirement that we would like to define a new header text and default data in that text.
    Please kindly advice.
    Thank you very much.

    HI  Rahulkumar,
    As the path that you've adviced, I can not define at header level. It define as item level.
    Could you explain more how to define as header level?
    Thank you.
