Odd window redraw problem...

This just starting happening so I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.
In Dreamweaver CS5, I normally work on a few pages at a time, all in tabs and I use split screen to see the code and design. Now, if I'm on one tab and then click on another tab to switch to that page, it does switch, but the window goes grey until I click a second time on the tab, then the window refreshes and I can see the content.
I'm attaching an image of what it looks like when I say the screen is grey:
Then on the second click, my window redraws to this (I had to blur the content):
I can't seem to find a setting that would have done this and the only change I've made to the system is clear the font cache, but I can't imagine how that would affect it.
Any help would be great.

Have you tried starting in Safe Mode and see if the problem still occurs?
Restart holding the "shift" key.
(Expect it to take longer to start this way because it runs a directory check first.)
If this works look in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login items and delete any third party login items (-), you can always add them back with the (+). Also look in /Library/Startup Items. Nothing is put in that folder by default, so anything in there is yours.

  • 10.5.3 Update- Window redraw problems in Finder and all Apps

    Hallo there. After installing the update on my MacBook Pro 2.4GHz I am getting irritating redraw problems in all Apps with scrolling possibilities incl. the Finder. Especially Safari. Triple stuttered lines make it impossible to read anything.
    On top of that the permissions are cocked up. The System is telling me not to transfer an iWEB website to a USB stick cos I don't have the privileges. Virtual Sick just splattered over my screen.
    This ultra expensive machine only has its justification because it is a tool and I want to WORK with it. Not long and this bean-can is flying out the window.
    This is an ultimate pain. I wish the updates would work. It's just so unprofessional. So "Windows". I wish Atari was still building computers.
    Is anyone out there that knows anything about this?
    Would appreciate any help.
    Thank you.

  • [SOLVED] Odd window manager problem...

    I have installed Arch and a full Gnome DE. However when I start gnome, I get an odd window manager. I tried metacity and metacity --replace in a terminal, but I just get "Window manager warning: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a window manager"
    Here is what it looks like:
    Any way I can get some metacity going?
    Edit: [SOLVED]
    I just put metacity as startup application and restarted. Still not sure what that window manager was, but I'll be okay I guess...

    You need to put 'exec gnome-session' in your .xinitrc file.
    twm huh? Well that's a new one for me!
    I tried to do that but the .xinitrc file didn't exist yet and I wasn't sure if I should make it...I think I tried ~/.xinitrc . Would it be in another directory?

  • Odd Window Minimizing Problem

    I'm having a very strange issue, and I have never even seen anything remotly close to this..and for some reason this just started happening today.
    Problem:
    OSX is not allowing me to have two application windows open on the screen at the same time. If Mac Mail is open on the left of my screen and, I select safari from my dock OSX will auto minimize My Mac Mail Window and open the Safari Window.
    This goes for all applications.. (Calendar & Mac Finder), (System Preferences & Reminders) etc..
    It will not allow me to have applications focused on one desktop screen.

  • Redraw problems in iTunes 7

    Just ugraded to iTunes 7.0.0, and I'm having window redraw problems. Whenever I play a video or go to one of the new fancy album art views (the latter of which usually won't display at all), it ends up causing a semi-random rectangular portion of the iTunes window to not redraw. So if I go back to the song list, it'll still be displaying the previous screen's information, though it still functions correctly as far as playing songs is concerned. If I drag the window down so that area is off-screen, then back again (or minimize and restore), it redraws the correct current screen. But then as soon as I scroll or anything, the visual bit gets stuck in that section again. (At least the program itself isn't freezing.)
    I do have a fairly old video card. I have a four-year-old dual-867 G4 (MDD). I thought I had the cheapest video card available at the time, which I thought was an ATI, but my System Profiler claims I have an nVIDIA 32MB GeForce4 MX (AGP). It's driving two 1600x1200 displays.
    I really like all the new features of iTunes 7, and the higher-quality video from the store. And I'm not really mad since I can still make everything work. But I'd have to agree with others here that Apple didn't do thorough enough testing this time around.
    Ironically, everything I've tried so far worked fine on my Windows box at work... but it is brand new (3GHz dual core, just got them last week)... and only driving a single 1280x1024 display.
    Anybody else find any fixes? I hope Apple has an update soon that fixes this.

    It only partially fixed the problem for me. Prior to doing it, I was okay if I started up in old-style list mode and stayed there. If I switch to another mode, updates would just immediately die and I couldn't really do anything.
    After the fix, I can now switch between the modes and things continue to work. I can also use the album view just fine. However, the cover view is still broken. It at least draws the covers now (instead of just a white box or an un-updated portion of the library list, which is what I got before), but the scroll controls in the covers area are just white boxes.
    I'm on a G4/450 (Sawtooth) upgraded to a G4/1.4. I have two monitors running at 1600x1200, one on a 16 MB ATI Rage 128 Pro and the other on a 16 MB ATI Rage 128. My iTunes window is roughly 1600x960 pixels in size.
    I saw that someone posted the minimum VRAM requirement for iTunes 7 as 16 MB. Where did they find this? All I saw on the download page when I checked yesterday was that it required some G3 variant - nothing about VRAM. And, I don't think many (an?) G3-era machines had 16 MB VRAM, so making that requirement explicit would seem important.

  • Mac Pro 2007 with Nvidia 8800GT screen redraw problems on Mac OS 10.5.2

    I seem to be having a slight screen redraw problem. Such as when grabbing the browser window and moving up and down it seems the redraw can't keep up,also seems problematic when watching flash or other video online. It does it in the finder too for windows listings or in icon view there is a fluttering or flashing back and forth, kind of like a white super split second flash when dragging the window box smaller or larger not as bad as when making smaller. Hard to describe but my original Ge-force that I pulled was not having these characteristics. I figure that the drivers need tweaking. In windows I am not getting these results. I have newer boot camp installed as well as the leopard graphics update done so I am trying to see if others are having a slight problem or maybe it is me.
    Also I make certain it is not heat related as I monitor that and it does not matter at what temp it is.

    Here's another similar experience -- and my solution.
    I bought a Quad-core 2.8GHz (8GB RAM) Mac Pro in May and got the "better" Nvidia 8800GT. I thought I was happy, but there were redraw issues after sleeping and a display "roughness" I found annoying. Upgrading to OSX 10.5.4 didn't help.
    I found it to be mostly absent on startup, but sleeping the Mac would bring it on. I.e., after sleep, the relatiionship between the 8800GT would be different than before. when I logged out and in again, the problem woud vanish. No what I expect from a "superior" graphics card. I ascribed it to funky drivers from Apple.
    The store I bought the Mac from offered to swap for my suggestion of an ATI HD 3870, so I went for it about a week ago.
    This card is far smoother than the 8800GT and just as fast in rendering benchmerks for graphics. (I'm not a gamer.) I am a happy camper! There is no stuttering, oddball redraw, or jerkiness as there had been with the 8800. It's perfect! Never mind that it may be 5% slower for gamers, it feels faster for my use.
    BUT NOTE: As I now see from reading several forums, I wasn't alone is getting a screaming-Mimi at first! The first 3870 ran at nearly full fan speed at power-up. The speed changed a little with resolution changes on my big Mitsubishi CRT monitor, and actually stopped when I switched to 1080x1920 @ 72Hz! Then the fan would start and quit, start and quit randomly -- convincing me it was defective.
    I returned this RED-shrouded unit and the store replaced it, this time with (randomly) a BLUE-shrouded unit. (Slightly lower serial.)
    Bottom Line: This replacement 3870 is quiet as a mouse! Fan runs near-silently at startup and after hours of regular use in a 75ºF room. I get the distinct feeling that a bunch of cards with wonky fan controllers were built, and some of us got 'em.
    Bad News: The ATI HD 3870 does NOT support multiple refresh rates under Windows XP-SP2 booting the Mac Pro, with or without Boot Camp drivers installed. No version of the ATI drivers fixes this, and ATI does not officially support Boot Camp yet. You can choose a resolution okay, but you're stuck at 60Hz refresh -- a pain for those of us who hate 60Hz flicker. (I like 100Hz refresh.)

  • MacBook projects on Mac Pro: redraw problems in timeline

    Hi all,
    my main workstation for Premiere Pro CC 2014 is a 2010 Mac Pro, abroad I'm editing on a 2013 15" MacBook Pro Retina. Transferring projects from the Mac Pro to the MacBook Pro works fine, but every time I (re)-open a project on the Mac Pro, which was edited/saved on the MacBook Pro before, I have massive redraw problems in the timeline: It is mostly black, when I move the mouse some rectangles underneath will become gray, others black... – in simple words: it's not possible to work with this timeline at all. Switching between CUDA/GPU doesn't help, deleting previews, re-opening windows doesn't help either.
    When I create a new sequence, it looks fine, but I can't copy all clips of a messed up timeline to this new sequence, because Premiere only "sees" and copies a small fraction of the clips. The only workaround I found, was to IMPORT the sequences from the MacBook Pro projects. In this case everything looks and works as expected.
    Has anybody seen problems like this?

  • [SOLVED] GNOME 3.8 annoying window resize problem

    Hello all fellow early-adopters :-)
    A very annoying quirk I've noticed, moving from GNOME 3.6 to 3.8, is that it no longer remembers, nor retains, the size/positions I set for many of my application windows. For example, my mail client (Evolution) is sized to fill most of my screen (centrally), with Empathy and Skype as long narrow windows on both sides - giving me a nice, broad "communications" overview on that particular desktop (with dev tools etc open on others).
    On 3.6, this layout was retained during my session, as well as next time I started these apps up.
    In GNOME 3.8, not only does it insist that these windows are always started as small little bunched-up windows that I need to resize, but every time a window displays a notification/warning (message in internal yellow bar inside the window - such as loss of internet connection, mail retrieval failure etc) it resizes the windows spontaneously to a stupid, small size that overlays the other windows. This is driving me crazy!
    Where can I learn a bit more about how window sizing / positioning works in GNOME 3.8, or is it finally time to switch to awesome wm? I want to love GNOME 3.8, I really do. It's so slick, but so... unpolished.
    I want to dig in an assist with problems like these, but I need some pointers to some background material first to understand the problem. Is it the window manager? Is it the app?
    ** UPDATE: Doing a full system upgrade, as of May 18, 2013, has resolved this annoying problem. My windows now stay where they belong, and start with the same size they were closed with. GNOME is now pleasant to use again :-)

    I really like GNOME 3.x though (and would like to understand the windowing behaviour), but if the annoying quirks are insurmountable, I will happily switch.
    Man I love GNOME 3.x. I admire the courage they had to change, basically, everything, and I find myself more productive with my GNOME 3 Arch box than with my good ol' Slackware KDE 4 box. I just hate those bugs - for example I filed a task in their bugtracker for this window resize problem I have with gedit. If it's a love/hate relationship, I think it's marriage ^_^
    With the 3.8 upgrade, deadbeef was having a similar problem with window size/position. I just recompiled it against the latest GTK+3 package upgrade (that came after the 'big upgrade' here on Arch) and it was fixed. But not with gedit

    Man I really hope this gets fixed soon, because aside from this one incredibly annoying issue I am loving gnome 3.8.
    I get the feeling gnome badly needs more beta testers, sizable regressions like this in "stable" releases happen way too often sad.
    I get the exact same feeling. Well bugs exist everywhere, there's no denying. But I think it would be wiser to 'alternate' the nature of each major stable release - one focusing on new features and one focusing on fixing bugs. For example if the only new features in GNOME 3.10 were the AppsFolder full implementation and the introduction of gnome-calendar, and the rest of the development cicle being devoted to fix bugs, I'd be more than happy.
    Like Fedora and Ubuntu, the fixed 6-month release cycle colaborates with the bugs. They don't do like Debian or Slackware which are released 'when they are ready'.
    EDIT: fout (yet) another bug. At least with facebook chat (haven't tested with other telepathy plugins) the buddy tray icon appear duplicate. Anybody with the same issue?

  • Connecting iPod Nano 8GB video model to Windows 2k problems

    Hello!
    I hope someone can help, I had a MacBook that died and now I need to move our 4 iPods to the windows 2k environment. When you plug in the iPod it says that it needs to be converted to Windows, not problem, I click "OK" then iTunes starts and gives me the following message:
    The iPod "IPOD2" cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 7.6 or later.
    Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes.
    Ther is NO 7.6 for Windows 2K? Any help could be appreciated.
    I have the latest version for W2K, and I have 1 Nano that has syncd fine. Anyone have any ideas, I have searched and tried all the tech docs I could find to no avail. The iPod is visible in "My Computer" but when you click on it it asks if I want to format it, worried about doing that. Can't find any instructions on resetting the iPod back to factory/out of the box WITHOUT ITUNES! that may help!
    Thanks,
    John

    Ther is NO 7.6 for Windows 2K?
    I'm afraid not. The last version of iTunes for Windows compatible with Windows 2000 was 7.3.2:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/itunes732forwindows2000.html
    ... and the third generation (video) nanos require at least iTunes 7.4.x (and 7.6 is currently recommended).

  • 8350i: Changing the font size results in screen redraw problems

    Hey everyone.  
    BlackBerry 8350i
    v4.6.1.204 (3.0.0.73)
    BBAlpha Sans, size 8
    When the screen redraws to account for a change in font or font size, there is a redraw problem that overwrites portions of the menu.  Steps to repro and some supporting dialogue from a 3rd party software developer are below.
    Steps needed to observe the problem:
    Go to Options -> Screen / Keyboard.
    Select Font size.
    Roll up and down between the different available font sizes.
    Observe that sections of the font size menu disappear and reappear as the "Quick brown fox" example text is redrawn.
    I have always thought that menus should receive visual preference, meaning that anything redrawn in the background should not overwrite them.  The 8350i does not seem to honor this convention, however.  Instead, the sample text renders in front of portions of the font size menu list, making those portions of the menu disappear.
    Case in point: AstraSync 3.0, just out of beta, uses some nice stylization for its main email presentation screen.  However, when you click the menu button, the menus are slowly devoured by the background text and eventually become invisible.  I reported this issue to AstraSync tech support and they have stated that this appears to be a bug in the 8350i, not their software:  
    James and others, Unfortunately the problems with the menu disappearing 
    appear to be a device issue and as such is not something that we are 
    able to fix.
    -Vicky Cwilewicz, Wednesday, April 08, 2009 
    http://forum.astrasync.com/Default.aspx?g=posts&t=649
    This conversation occurred while the AstraSync software was in beta, and I have confirmed that the issue continues now that the software is out of beta.  Given the phone's own rendering issues within Screen/Keyboard, I think their claim, that this represents a bug in the phone itself, has some merit.  Any thoughts or advice on a workaround?  Assuming that this is truly a bug in the device software itself, will RIM please consider addressing it?
    Thanks,
    James 
    Message Edited by jmegna on 06-02-2009 01:16 PM

    This problem is also evident in Opera Mini. A bit of googling revealed it was introduced in OS version 4.6.1.128. This is quite clearly a device bug and we would appreciate a response from RIM on the matter.
