Page up/page down etc doesn't work in XP

The Home, End, Page Up and Page Down keys no longer work correctly in Firefox since version 5.x (I'm fairly sure that 4.x was fine). This only seems to affect my XP laptop: versions 5 and up seem fine on two Win 7-64 machines I have access to.
As an example of this functionality, go to [http://www.soundonsound.com/ the sound on sound website]. None of the above keys have any affect when pressed. However, if I hit Ctrl-End, the cursor(?!) jumps to the block of text at the foot of the page (copyright info etc). It is then locked there: i.e. hitting Page Up or Home will only jump the cursor to the start of this block of text, not to the head of the page. Hitting End from there will jump the cursor to the end of the current line.
I think that this issue is related to the appearance of this cursor (blinking pipe symbol) in areas of a webpage that are not text entry controls. For example, if I got to click the (mouse) cursor on a textbox/textarea but miss slightly, the text-edit cursor appears half in and half out of the box, but it doesn't allow text entry in that position. Randomly clicking the mouse on any web page will cause this pipe-style cursor to appear next to the nearest block of text, or half-in and half-out of the nearest textbox, etc.
Not a fatal flaw, I know, but it is pretty frustrating when trying to navigate long webpages/forums and the like.
Thanks,
Si

Thanks cor-el,
That's exactly what I've done - by accident, clearly!
Ah well, panic over...
Thanks again,

  • Page Setup dialog doesn't work

    Hi everyone
    My generic Page Setup dialog box as e.g. used for Word etc. doesn't work:
    In the Page Setup dialog, the "Setting" menu doesn't work at all, i.e. I can see the dropdown but it doesn't accept my changes (it's fixed on "Page Settings"). All other menus or choices are accepted but then the "OK" button doesn't work; it just flickers briefly and then goes back to blue. The "Cancel" button makes all contents of the dialog box disappear except for the frame and the buttons. Either way force quitting and relaunching the application is the only way to continue working in the application.
    What could be the issue here?
    A few specs on my hardware, printer and system:
    - MacBook Pro (brand new)
    - OS X 10.5.5
    - Printers: hp LaserJet 4200 (main printer), iP5200R, OKI B6200, Lexmark E321. All these printers I used without problems with my old PowerBook G4.
    The problem occurs with all applications using this generic Page Setup dialog, such as Word, Grab etc. In Excel e.g. all these functions work (it uses a different kind of dialog box for the page setup).
    The problem could possibly have started to occur when the Lexmark printer could not be installed automatically so I assigned it another Lexmark driver, which seemed to work. But I'm not sure whether those two problems occurred at the same time.
    What I tried already:
    - uninstall and reinstall all printers in the Print & Fax part of the System Preferences. I uninstalled all printers and (without restart) reinstalled the hp printer only. The problem was still there, even upon restart.
    - reinstall Word (first I thought it was a Word problem)
    Any ideas??

    Hi,
    Try to increase the size of repeating frame, as I follow this strategy in my report find the outermost repeating frame and increase its size to whole page than increase the size of your required repeating frame if you want to break page on this group, no need to set max record and page break properties(as I saw page break property never works).
    Thanks.

  • "Exclude page from menu" doesn't work

    Choosing Page > Page Properties > Menu Options > Exclude page from menus doesn't work for me in the current release. Anybody else having this problem?

    Humm?
    Just tested both your process and again by going to Plan View > rt-click on page >  Menu Options and both instantly remove the page.
    Have you tried just making  simple/quick test site with 2-3 pages and trying? 
    Maybe somthing in your site and not in Muse that's causing the issue.

  • After instaling mavericks  terminal, preview, app store, etc,  doesn't work anymore

    after instaling mavericks the terminal, preview, app store, etc,  doesn't work anymore...
    What have to do to solve this problem?

    You ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system.
    The first thing you need to do is remove that software, if you know what it is, according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below.
    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.

  • All of a sudden, directional down key doesn't work?

    I'm on my boyfriend's macbook pro.

    all the other keys surrounding it work.
    I've taken off the key to check underneath, and there is nothing stuck.
    We haven't done any updates or anything.
    Is there anyway to fix this? o_O
    Thank you!

    Get a new BF with a Mac that works.
    Try resetting your SMC and PRAM.

    If that does not work, you might try an Archive and Install to eliminate a software issue, but my guess is, he may need the keyboard replaced.

  • I downloaded Paloma Faith Fall to Grace delux edition.  Track 5 Let Me Down Easy doesn't work, can I download it again please?

    I have purchased and downloaded Paloma Faith - Fall to Grace delux edition. Track 5 Let Me Down Easy doesn't work. Is there anyway I can down load it again? The rest of the Album works fine.

    Delete the faulty track from the iTunes library, allowing iTunes to move the track file to the Trash. Then download the track again from the iTunes Store via this procedure:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    That fixes the problem for many people. If problems with the track persist, go here:

    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

  • [SOLVED] Page Up and Page Down keys no longer working correctly

    uname ...
    3.12.9-2-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT x86_64
    I use KDE  4.12.2 
    For some reason - applications in KDE are no longer responding to the PgUp and PgDown keys.
    For example previously in firefox PgUp/PgDown would scroll the current web page up or down, but now it doesn't work.
    Firefox DOES change tabd using CTRL + PgUp/CTRL + PgDown as previously.
    Another example Okular ignores PgUp/PgDown - although (again) it does respond to CTRL + PgUp/CTRL + PgDown.
    Previously it responded with the correct move one page up and down.
    If I go to a terminal
    showkey
    keycode 28 release
    # PgDown
    keycode 109 press
    keycode 109 release
    # PgUp
    keycode 104 press
    keycode 104 release
    If I try to set a keyboard sortcut in a KDE app (e.g. change the Previous / Next page keyboard shortcut in Okular) the app recognises the PgUp and PgDown keys, but the application doesn;t respond.
    I've also tried a different keyboard and I get the same behaviour.
    I'm completely baffled, any help?
    What could be causing this strange behaviour?
    Last edited by bhrgunatha (2014-02-22 03:51:02)

    From what I understand - they would have to be global keyboard shortcuts. I've looked in the KDE system settings anmd there are no global shortcuts defined for PgUp and PgDown. I certainly haven't configured anythin to use them.
    I'm not sure if there is anywhere else to look for them.
    EDIT: So after about an hour or so of poking around, it seems I DID set shortcuts for PgUp/PgDown (and promptyl forgot about them.)
    These set global shortcuts that aren't recognised by the KDE system settings shortcuts applet.

  • Page up & page down keys don't work in Preview

    why don't the Page Up and Page Down keys on an extended (Apple) keyboard work in Preview? very annoying. only the up-down arrows seem to work, and only one line at a time. i'd like to jump whole pages, or something close to that. if anyone knows a keyboard shortcut please let me know. i've tried the usual suspects.. shift-up/down arrow seems to maybe jump a few lines at a time, but not enough.
    macbook pro 15, os x 10.7.5, preview 5.5.3.

    Even the menu item for Go | Down doesn't work. 
    Page up works for me, though.
    Weird.

  • IWeb "open new page in browser" doesn't work?

    On websites I have created in iWeb, the hyperlinks to a web page will not open in a new window even though I have checked that setting in the Inspector. Previously when creating websites with html I would simply add the "blank target" code but in iWeb there is no way to edit html directly. I have tried this with Safari and with Firefox, it doesn't work!
    Message was edited by: Ironic Bliss

    Thanks for those helpful suggestions, though I have batted around different ways of trying to get iWeb to register the "open in new window" when checked, to no avail so far, and it doesn't work with any link, whether in text or combined with an image. Taking all these points:
    I have now managed to open the html using TextWrangler but I must admit it is a little beyond me to even find the string of code in question as iWeb uses so many files. It would be better if I could just get iWeb to do the work for me as it's meant to.
    Strangely, when I open the website in iWeb the first time, all the pages to the left are marked in red before I've done anything! So I cannot use that as a simple check to see if a change has been made. Also I have already tried making other changes after checking the "open in new window" box before saving.
    I always publish to a folder on my HD, as I am uploading to a server that is not me.com or mac.com. (Could that be the trouble? iWeb seems to generally be very unfriendly to publishing on other servers than Apple and I have had to jump through a lot of hoops with various things.)
    Could it be the weird folder hierarchy created by iWeb, where there is an index.html page outside of the main folder where all the stuff is kept? So far, I have just uploaded it to the server "as is", so the contents of the main folder (which has another index.html rather strangely placed outside it) are not at the root level on the server. The folder containing them is at the root level and so is the "external" index.html. Would it work if I uploaded only the contents of the folder to the root directory on the server, and not in the folder that iWeb creates or with its "dummy" index.html outside it?
    (I think in the past this has caused trouble with Google search sitemaps, and is the reason why in the end I uploaded the whole thing and not just the contents of the main folder.)
    So to be clear (not that easy here), the files on the server are:
    Directory > index.html plus the folder containing all the website files. So the actual website files are at a second level in a folder, not at the root level.
    The easiest example where the blank target doesn't work is on the home page of one of my websites. Scroll down and there is an image of a book which has a link to a bookstore. This should open a new page in the browser, but never does. (Annoyingly, in FireFox it even kills the back button, Safari works slightly better in that respect.)

    Hi User XY,
    tabular forms do not have Page Items. The values you entered in the tabular form are stored in arrays like APEX_APPLICATION.g_f01 to g_f50.

  • IWork(Keynote, pages and numbers) doesn't work well about the issue of copy & paste problem

    I think so, too. the Keynote 6.5 is not working well on Yosemite (Mac OS X 10.10.1).
    In my case, I can't copy & paste from some program(particularly analysis program in my case) to Keynote.
    So, when I check coping & pasting the graph or image and so on to Powerpoint and other programs (one of Office is such word and 3rd programs), It works well. However It doesn't work at Keynote, page and numbers.
    Also, I tried to do the following process to solve this issue
    ======
    Something is wrong with your installation of Keynote
    Try this repair for Keynote, ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
    1  delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote by using AppDelete.
    2  restart the Mac;   Apple menu > restart
    3  immediately after the start chime,  press the shift key until you see the Apple symbol.
             let it fully boot up,  it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
    4  when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive  then First Aid tab and      click  repair disc permissions
    5  when complete, restart the Mac normally
    6  install Keynote from the Mac App Store
    ====
    It doesn't work! Anything doesn't change.
    In conclusion, I didn't solve this yet!
    Plz, solve this problem or fix it!.

    This is a double posting, please only post in one discussion at a time.
    Keynote 6.5 is stable and reliable under Yosemite for most users.
    As with all new operating systems and applications, a small number of users find a few problems.
    Copy and pasting text from and into Keynote from all the applications I have, work perfectly: the applications include; Safari, Mail, Word, PowerPoint, excel, Pages, Numbers, iMovie, Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator.
    If you want to place graphics into Keynote, use one of the following methods:
    Insert > Coose
    click the media button on an image placehoder
    click the media button on the tool bar
    drag and drop from a Finder window
    Copy and pasting images into Keynote is not supported

  • The Page Up/Page Down buttons don't work in Safari 6 Reader

    I've been trying to read articles in Safari 6 using the reader. The page up/page down buttons and the Spacebar shift-spacebar buttons don't work the way they should. Instead of bringing you to the next page of text they bring you to the top or bottoms of the article. You have to manually scroll through the article to read it, which is a pain. This should be fixed. I already submitted feedback on this. Anyone else have any ideas?
