Opening prefs in CS4 causes strange UI glitch

If I open preferences, I get a 'ghosted' version of the close, minimize, and
maximize buttons in the top right corner. The 'ghosted' version is on top
and takes focus, the 'real' version doen't work.
I don't have to do anything in preferences, just open and close it.

Besides the ghost buttons at the top-right, I occasionally see a line running through the top toolbar too. I see this problem on two completely different PC hardware setups, with and without OpenGL support switched on. One is a self-built Core2 Duo with an nVidia card, the other is a Lenovo Thinkpad with integrated Intel graphics. Both are running XP Pro SP3. I tried trashing Ps prefs and updating video drivers. It seems to be a bug in Photoshop. There's a lot of common software between the computers, but I'm not flattening one just to troubleshoot a graphics problem in CS4. I'm surprised I haven't read about this bug more widely.

My Fonts change when opening an InDesign CS4 file with InDesign CS6

I've been experiencing strange behaviour when opening a InDesign CS4 file file with InDesign CS6: the kerning and spacing is all off:
Original file:
opened in InDesign CS6:
Is this a conversion error? Is there a setting/pref I've got wrong?

It's more than a year ago since this issue was reported, but at this time I'd had the same problem when opening a CS4 document in CS6/CC.
I was amazed that a header, placed in capitals, looked different in CS6/CC. But at last, after several tests, i've came to the conclusion that "forced" capitals behaving different than "real" capitals. In others words: when you forcing text to capitals the kerning would be different in CS6/CC. When you place text in real capitals (Shift + text) the kerning is the same as in both InDesign versions.
Text in CS4:
As you can see: in CS4 there's no difference between real capitals en forced capitals.
Below the results when opening the CS4 file in CS6/CC:
I'm not sure if there are still people struggling with this problem, but hopefully was is this helpful.

Strange graphical glitch on 55TL515

I'm getting a strange graphical glitch occasionally on my 55TL515. When the glitch appears, it will reoccur every 20 seconds or so. I've discovered one way to make this disappear temporarily, but I'd like a permanent fix. Let me describe my living room setup for a second...
I currently have the TV connected by itself to one outlet. The second socket is currently empty.
In another outlet, I have a filled power bar plugged in. The power bar contains my stereo, xbox, pc, macbook, external hdd, and router.
When the glitch appears, if I unplug this power bar and reconnect it, the glitch disappears. I don't understand why this is. They aren't even in the same outlet (they used to be, until i started messing around with this problem). I've tested different HDMI cords, all of the HDMI inputs, and have seen this glitch when using both my pc and my xbox on this tv.
Can anyone provide a possible solution to this? I don't want to keep everything unplugged as I use them all frequently. Could it be the power bar? Is it actually a problem with the tv? Please take a look at this youtube video and see what you think. Thanks.

I get the same issue...typically this happens if I connect my laptop through a VGA cable. I've tried everything from changing my video card settings(resolution, refresh rate, etc...) but I get the same exact graphical glitch. Any luck on figuring this out?
Also, do you ever get thin lines that roll/move up the screen? I would get those occasionally and it had something to do with the digital switching inside the laptop power supply(the laptop power supply was on the same outlet) and was causing this problem so moving it to another power outlet or circuit breaker helped, but I still get the graphical glitch you have.

Opening a new link in a tab (contr+click or right click and open in new tab) causes ff to lose scroll position in first tab or main website, like google.

Opening a new link in a tab (contr+click or right click and open in new tab) causes ff to lose scroll position in first tab or main window, like google.
This does not happen when opening in a new window (shift+click).
It was never a problem in older versions. I now have ff 3.6.17. I' afraid to install ff4 because everytime i do so (install e new version) something i liked dissapears or good add ons dont work anymore!
I also don't like the fact that more and more of the adress barr is beïng used for crap i don't need. I'm a visual handicap and need all the space i can, just to read.
Thanks for helping me out.

I can't print from Firefox. I followed instructions in 'Troubleshooting' under 'Reset Firefox printer settings' but print.print_printer is not there. I tried 'Reset all Firefox printer settings' and I can't open 'prefs.js' at all. Help!

When I try to open prefs. I get 'Error: Invalid character & code: 800A03F6.

Don't try to open the prefs.js file with a double click. That makes Windows try to run the file as a JScript files and that fails.
Did you check the <b>about:config</b> page in Firefox?

Strange graphical glitch in Select Columns

I've noticed a strange graphical glitch in the Select Columns region of an interactive report when using IE7 or 8.
When a column is selected (other than the first or last) and sent to the Bottom or Top the change doesn't actually show until the mouse is moved over the Display in Report List. If the Apply button is clicked, then the column ordering is set correctly.
I'm using Apex 3.1 and was wondering if anyone else has noticed.
Thanks,
Simon

alright.. once again a nvidia isssue... the nv driver does paint it correctly

Does anyone know what Error: 5 mean when trying to open up InDesign CS4

PROBLEM. Inserting Index topic in CS4 causes text to shift; it shouldn't certainly?

I have a document created in CS3 and if I open it in CS4 and insert an index entry at a point in a paragraph, the text actually flows and does not remain unchanged, as it should have. It never did this in CS3. The paragraph in question was set to -10 on the AV tracking.

> How is one to maintain long book projects across upgrades without the text
> changing?
You're best off finishing a book in the version it started in. Start new
books in the new version. This was true going from CS2 to CS3 as well
(and probably in previous upgrades too).
I know it feels like a PITA, but Adobe actually made some important
changes in H&J going from CS3 to CS4. If they had to maintain your text
wrap forever, they would never be able to fix the problems.

Database could not be opened. May be caused because database does not exist or lack of authentication to open the database.

Hello,
I've been running the DMV 'sys.event_log', and have noticed that I am getting a lot of errors about connection issues to some of my SQL Azure databases saying "Database could not be opened. May be caused because database does not exist or lack of authentication
to open the database."
The event type column says: 'connection_failed' and the event_subtype_desc column says: 'failed_to_open_db' both are associated with the above error message.
I know that these databases are on-line as I have numerous people connected to them, all of whom are not experiencing any issues. My question is, is there a query that you can run on SQL Azure to try and find out a bit more information about the connection
attempts?
If this was a hosted SQL solution it would be much easier.
Marcus

Hello,
As for Windows Azure SQL Database, we can't access the error log file as On-premise SQL Server. Currently, it is only support troubleshooting the connection error with the following DMV. The SQL database connections events are collected and aggregated in
two catalog views that reside in the logical master database: sys.database_connection_stats and sys.event_log. We can use sys.event_log view to display the details if there is error occurs.
Just as the connection failed describe, it may ocurrs when user didnot has login permission when connect to the SQL Database. If so, please verify the user has logon permission.

Cs1 drawings don't open properly in cs4?

Drawings I made in cs1 won't open properly in cs4? I just get a message which says the program can't read this illustration and then I have only parts of the image. They still work in cs1 normally. The problematic parts of the image had a gaussian blur and transparency, but even when I delete these effects still I can't open them in cs4. Any ideas anybody?

That's a very good thought about the spot color libraries they have been updated by at least Pantone.
Did you try to place the file in a new empty ai document sometimes placing strips the fie of unnecessary codeit seems.
If that doesn't work try placing or opening in Photoshop saving it as a psd (if the layers survive and placing or opening that in Illustrator.
Or save it as .ps or rather print it as a .ps file from AI CS2 and opening that in AI CS 4 , you might have to distill it first. The postscript will look right but you will not be happy with the result.

Opening projects in CS4 from earlier versions of Premiere

I have various projects in Premiere 2.0. They work fine.
I tried opening one in Premiere CS4. It mostly works, but I found a small hickup where a transition (cross disolve) is quite messed up. Otherwise, it seems the project is playing the same in CS4.
My question is: how accurate is it to open projects in CS4 from an earlier version? I don't really want to have to go through every second of every project to make sure it works properly, yet I would like to upgrade to CS4.
What's the normal protocol for this? I'm sure people deal with having to open projects from earlier version of Premiere all the time.

Harm,
Thanks for your answer -- it's helpful. I will follow your advice.
What blows my mind is what the legions of editors out there do when they have to old up an old project? This must happen all the time!
Do editors have to maintain two machines -- one with the old version of Premiere to open up their old project, and another machine to work on new projects? Oh, I guess they need one machine for each version they've ever created a Premiere project in. That's like 5 machines.
Seriously, what to people do when they have to open up an old project for whatever reason? It's seems like if you open it up in the latest version of Premiere, you would have to go through every second of the project very carefully to make sure there are errors introduced -- way time consuming.

To open "Adobe Photoshop CS4" you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime.

I have updated my system to Yosemite and when I try to open Adobe CS$ i get this message. To open “Adobe Photoshop CS4” you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime. I have followed the links and installed Java for OS X 2014-001 includes installation improvements, and supersedes all previous versions of Java for OS X. This package installs the same version of Java 6 included in Java for OS X 2013-005.
When I again try to open CS4 I get the same message To open “Adobe Photoshop CS4” you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime.
Can anyone assist please?
Thanks Colin

you may need to uninstall CS then reboot, try to see if it allows you to update your JAVA
APPLE'S JAVA
Java for OS X 2014-001
SUN MICROSYSTEMS JAVA
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/mac_install.xml
then reinstall CS4
I ran into something similar with CS6 where it needed to come off and go back on
technically CS4 is not supported by Adobe and reported to be problematic with Yosemite.
