Pages jumps after leaving full screen mode

This has been driving me mad or quite a while. I'm a writer and I spend most of the day working with Pages. It's always in full screen mode, but whenever I switch to Mail or Safari, or if the system goes into screensaver mode, Pages jumps back from the insertion point, i.e. where I was working, to another place in the text, sometimes as far back as thirty pages. I have filed a bug report, but am curious to know if this common and if there is a solution. Any advise is appreciated.

Never got this behavior on my machines.

NB100 touchpad scroll bar stops working after exit full screen mode youtube

I have few Toshiba laptops, satellite, and now netbook100.
All of them share one problem, touchpad scroll bar:
It will stop working after exit full screen mode in youtube.
Here is how to reproduce the incident:
1. using any mainstream browser, start playing a youtube video, click full screen button at the bottom right corner of the video.
2. click on the [cross] to exit the full screen mode. (next to full screen button.)
3. check if you scroll bar still functioning.
4. a reboot will restore the function.
Currently, Im on vista, I believe in XP you will have the same problem.
Searching in google (touchpad scroll bar stops full screen youtube) will return more people share the same question but no answer.
Environments: win xp all, win vista all.
Windows all most updated driver, touch pad driver up to date.
This is not a major tech problem but for a netbook, this is very annoying.
If anyone have this problem or answers, please share it here.
Thank you in advance.
regards.

I had the exact same problem on my laptop and after a lot of searching, I finally found the simplest solution that really works for me so here goes:
Once you exit the full screen video and the scroll pad has stopped working, click once anywhere on the youtube page(just to unfocus from the video) and press the spacebar button on your keyboard twice.
Et voila, your scroll pad should be working again. Beats the hassle of having to log off everytime.
Hope this helps

Pages - Background Color in Full Screen Mode

I love Pages. I use it every day. It has amazing functionality. That said, one of the updates a while back has me scratching my head.
I have two questions about full screen mode:
1. What happened to the all black background in full screen mode?
2. Is there any way to get the all black (or really any color but the horrible grey) background back when in full screen mode?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pages v5 and minor releases was an entire new design, document architecture, and did not begin with Pages ’09 code. Therefore, your black background was never in v5, as well as the 100 or more missing features mentioned by Peter — and whose restoration is beyond incantation.
You can always poke Apple with a stick and request the return of the black background.

Background color in Pages 5.5.2. full screen mode

I updated to Yosemite, and my Pages updated to 5.5.2. It used to be that when I went into full screen mode in Pages, the background color was black. Now when I enter full screen mode, the background color is pale. Is there a way to change it back to black?

There is no control over background color with Pages v5.5.2 in full-screen, or normal mode. If you had Pages '09 installed before the installation of Pages v5, then it was silently moved to /Applications/iWork '09. You could use the older Pages and have your black background.

How do I go to a specific page in full-screen mode?

I've been using page for almost 3 months now and always jumped to the top of the document and clicked on my TOC entry to get to the start of whatever chapter I wanted to write or edit. Today, I decided it would be faster to just use Cmd-G, like I would have in MS Word, to jump to a specifc page. I was shocked to discover that that repeated my last search. Is there any way to jump to a specific page without leaving full-screen mode and navigating by the page tumbs? Right now, I tend to rewrite entire chapters, so I have less need to go to specific pages, but that will change later on. Ideally, I'd like to be able to jump from section to section, too.

Oddly, I never moved the cursor left to see the pages while in fullscreen mode. It's not as fast as a Cmd-[x]-[#] shortcut, but will work for my purposes.
Thanks

Annoying single page view in full screen mode

I have checked the “Enable Scrolling” in the “View/Page Display” menu to have a continuous page flow (with gaps between pages) and avoid page bouncing when moving from the bottom of a page to the top of the next page. It works as expected when in windowed mode but not in full screen mode.
- Why isn’t it possible to have continuous page flow (with gaps between pages) when in full screen mode? It is as if Adobe Reader disregards the “View/Page Display” menu preferences and always reverts to “Single Page View” when in full screen mode!
- Also it would be nice to have an option to display a vertical scroll bar to the extreme right of the screen in full screen mode to be able to quickly scroll the document.
These two features are the primary ones that make me still using Foxit-Reader instead of Adobe Reader albeit Foxit-Reader has a lower PDF rendering quality.

I have same problem.
In Full Screen Mode , most functions are *NOT* working. For example , Show/Hide Menu Bar , Show/Hide Toolbars etc. Even use keyboard shortcut , they just *NOT* working.
I am wondering is any chance to make Show/Hide Menu Bar , Show/Hide Toolbars working on Full Screen Mode ?
At least , please add some keyboard shortcut to change Page Display .
Best Regards,
Adobe Reader version : 10.0.3
OS version : Mac OS X 10.6.7

Full screen mode

I would like to run firefox 31.0 in full screen mode. Getting into full screen is no problem. How do you get out of it without using the keyboard shortcut? I understand you can put the icon on the toolbar OR the add-on bar, but i would prefer it in both locations. Is this possible? I really prefer to have it at the bottom of the page on the add on bar, but then it won't show when you want to exit.
I don't suppose it would be possible to customize the right click menu.... that would be the ultimate in customizing.

If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top of the screen to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.
Click the Maximize button (top right corner of the Navigation Toolbar) to leave full screen mode or right-click empty space on a toolbar and choose "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press the F11 key.

Mail - can't reply in full screen mode

Hi there
I've been enjoying running Mail in Lion in full screen mode. However if I try to reply to a message, I don't get the reply window come up. It fails whether I use the keyboard shortcut, click on the icon or use the menu command.
I have to leave full screen mode to get a reply message window.
Any clues on this?

I found this solution online today it worked for me I hope it solves your problem if you haven't already solved it.
This solved my question by BRegan6 on Oct 29, 2014 2:26 PM
I've just gotten off the phone with Apple Support who solved this problem. Open mail. Go to Mail Preferences/Viewing and Check box "Use classic view". Then open a new mail viewer window (File/New Viewer Window). At this point, assuming you have the same problem that I did where you can only see the window showing emails, but not the email preview window, move your cursor so it hovers right at the bottom edge of the window. The cursor will change to a horizontal bar and an up arrow. Click and drag up a few inches. At this point you should now be able to see the email preview window. Now go back to Mail preferences and uncheck classic view. The window now stays open in non-classic view. Hope this works for you too.

How to leave full-screen view in Acrobat LE on HTC Touch Diamond?

Hello
I have entered full-screen mode in Adobe Acrobat LE on my HTC Touch Diamond, but I cannot leave full-screen mode. There is nowhere on the screen that gives me a button to leave full-screen mode?!
I have tried using the buttons below the touch-screen but I have found nothing that works.
How do I leave full-screen mode??

Hello again.
Well I have tried almost everything with the stylus: Zoom operations (rotations), tapping the screen, pressing and holding, double tapping... nothing allows me to exit fullscreen nor get any on-screen menus to appear!
I must admit that I am very new to the HTC Touch Diamond so maybe I am being stupid, but I really can't find any way of getting any menus or anything else to show up once I have entered full-screen viewing. My only option is to exit Acrobat by pressing the back button below the touch screen, and then I of course leave Acrobat completely.
Please tell me how exactly I must use the stylus to exit fullscreen?
Thank you :-)

CS4 Full Screen Mode

In CS4 Full Screen Mode adjustments to layers /filters etc. can cause odd looking grayed out file name at top of window. how to avoid?

I turned off a whole load of features in my nVidia control panel and the problem I had with top menus after using full screen mode magically disappeared. I don't know which one did the trick and I'm not sure whether I can be bothered to find out. Solutions to CS4 problems just get more and more exotic.
On the whole, despite new video drivers, new tablet drivers, XPPro SP3 upgrade, latest DirectX and removal of 3rd party plugins I still find CS4 clunky and slow in comparison to CS3. Up until LR2 (another disaster on my machine but I'm not alone) and CS4 I had always praised Adobe for producing exceptionally stable, bug free software out of the box. These two releases are now just about the worst software releases I have ever encountered. We just shouldn't have to muck about with all these tortuous or drastic ( clean installs of the operating system ) experiments just to get these relatively undemanding applications to work.

Full screen mode broken in Aperture since Lion update?

Just been testing and it seems Lion or something has messed up Full Screen mode in Aperture. Any one else getting the same?

I click top right icon or hit 'F' and it eventually loads to the browser window but the dock is on top. I scroll with 'V' to get to desired view. Usually a beachball for 10 secs.
Leaving full screen mode using 'F' goes to black screen and just hangs or shows normal mode which then fades and goes back to black. Hitting Esc to get out gives me a black screen and nothing happens too.
Only way out is to use scroll left gesture on Magic mouse to get back to desktop. have to quit Aperture to get back to normal mode.
And repeat...

Keyboard controls stop working after exiting full screen

Hi everyone,
I have QT Pro 7.4.1, with a problem that started after upgrading to the .1 version.
When I exit full screen mode while watching a movie, the keyboard shortcuts for the player controls stop working. Instead, the computer beeps at me when I press the spacebar, etc. The keyboard controls still work during full screen mode, and after exiting full screen mode, I can still click on the play controls with the mouse to make them work. I've looked through the forum, but can't find anything about this. I also got this problem with one of my school's computers, with the same version of QT Pro. Is anyone else having this problem? Is it a known bug?
Thanks,
Irene

Yep.
A bug of sorts.
A "click" on the small screen version will restore QuickTime Player "focus" and then the keyboard inputs will work as designed.

Full Screen Mode Page Size

When I set up my PDF to open in Full Screen Mode, it always opens at full screen size. Is there a way to reduce the size of the page to 50% or so? I tried doing so in the settings but whatever I do, it keeps opening up to full screen size.
Thanks!

ok I've done I figured out the problem! OK the problem is with the links (jumping from one page to another). OK this is why some pages get smaller. Alright you might have to check all your links on each page, but it will fix the problem. First go to any page now click the links button and all the links should be highlighted now on that page. Next Right click on a link, then go to properties, and here a menu will pop up. The problem lies in here. OK see where it says Zoom level. Make sure it says FIT PAGE or whatever is consistent to your other links. If it doesnt, click edit and change it to FIT PAGE. The reason my page or pages would get smaller is becasue instead of FIT PAGE it said CUSTOM and that made the page smaller. Try it works no joke! Let me know how it comes out?

Pdf full screen mode page size

Hi all,
I am building an interactive pdf and everything is working nicely, other than the page size when the file is started. What happens is that when you open the file and it autostarts in full screen mode the first page is full screen, then when navigating to page 2 it is a bit smaller than page 1, and then going to page 3 is even smaller where the remainder of the pages are then the same size.
How can I get this file to open and view ALL AT THE SAME PAGE SIZES?
Thanks!
Todd
