Plazmic CDK 4.6 caret and focus button issues
I hope I'm posting in the right thread? This is regarding the Plazmic CDK 4.6 for Blackberry - to create your own themes.
Ok. I think I some what get the hang of Plazmic CDK 4.6 except for a few things.
I use ArcSoft PhotoStudio to make color changes to certain things. However, in the Today style, when I try to change the 'caret' color, which is that selection bar, no matter how much I resize it, it always looks really thick, almost covering the top of the 2nd line (see image below).
Also, when I try to change the focus circle, I open it with PhotoStudio and it changes the circle to this circle with a box around it, so when I try to change the color, it turns out like this (see picture below)
I also have issues with using a transparent background if I upload and make minor changes to an icon (see picture below). So I found this american flag icon, altered the pic to make the colors darker, then it adds this white background instead of keeping it transparent.
Is there a better program I could be using? Or any idea how to make these changes with this program? Or where can I find 'caret' and 'focus' icons so I don't have to worry about changing the colors.
Sorry if I sound confusing, hopefully someone understands what I'm saying?
Thanks!
you can only use Plazmik, sorry.
about transparency, when you use your drawing software and save the images, do you use a format that supports transparency ? There are two : GIF and PNG. All others add an opaque background color.

Nokia N93 Focus and Focus button
Has anyone else got problems with there Nokia focus button and zoom in and out swivel thing.
I bought the phone 11/10/06 three days later took it to Nokia shop to have it upgraded with the new firmware as it was crashing and taking jerky video.
All ok, All taking video ok, then things started to go wrong, the unit restarts on its own, I can not use the swivel zoom in and out button its too hard to move, I take the pictures at night and well u might as well not use the flash for all the good it does. The focus button I depress on photo mode will flash green for ages and will not focus at all. The video looks like it is stuck on high zoom and will not do anything.
£499 I paid for this phone and for a phone thats a lot of cash to pay for just that A PHONE!!!
Im not saying that it should be the bees n eee of phones, but why for a new phone is it failing and even let out on the market with faults??
The place where I got it from is not even answering the phone or emails I am sending to get it sorted, even the Nokia Shop where I took it to get it f/w uploaded told me to send it back to where I got it from in the 1st place next time.
So Nokia, if your listening, help me out here?
So far since I got this phone.
Bad software version so new phone could not use as it suggested.
Bad after sales service from your Nokia center.
And now a camera phone which has turned into a hmmm Phone...
Happy? not...
All I can say is I hope your N95 is better and tested before you send it out to the public.Well here we are, I took my phone to the shop, they told me after a week it went to germany for the phone to be diceted(spelt right? hmm) anyway, I went on holiday to aus for three weeks without a phone, thanks nokia!! came back, and just my phone was ready, I got a friend to pick it up as while I was away my dad died. Family could not reach me as no telephone. I check it out and use it, v 10.0.025 12-07-06 RM-55 N93 (52.01) Bluetooth can not turn up the volume while in a call. Pics grainy Batt power will not even last a night, I got to sleep with a fully charged phone and wake and its dead. Strange how the nokia shop said nokia have sent me a new phone. Choices choices, Local paper will def hear abotu hwo **bleep** your company is with support and pushing out faulty phones and def will be talking to consumerwatch, you will be hearing from me later, just **bleep**. And yes im angry. Not happy at all with the responces, example, please accept out appoligies, and can you take it to your nerest nokia shop for an upgrade or repair. Jeesh, I have had this phone since october and I have only had it with me for three weeks out of that lot, you nokia have had it, shall I just give you £500 and not have a phone as thats what it feels like. Its supposed to work, I dont buy a car without wheels do I? I buy a phone which should work. All other readers dont waste your time with this phone or nokia as the support if poor and well the phone is not worth it.. Oh also for your updater software, if ver 11 or ver 20 odd is out, why does the software say there is no new software for my phone? Another waste of harddisk space on my computer.

Save and Close button issue in CRM 2013 for Activity Type Appointment
Hi All,
Have come across a strange behavior in CRM 2013 and would like to be sure that it really is an issue which others have encountered too.
Open a Case record, and click on Activity navigation link to see the Open Activity Associated View. Then try creating an Activity of type Meeting and click on
Save & Close button (not just Save). When you refresh the view, the activity might show up. But repeat the same steps and create another Activity of Type Meeting and this activity will not show up. It doesnt show up even in the All Activities
view. Seems like the activity does not get created when using Save and Close button.
This behavior is replicated even on online 30 day trial version. Any inputs?
Regards,
YogeshThe problem only occurs when your appointment times clash. "Save and close" just throws the appointment away. "Save" tells you about clash (or perhaps it's just unavailability) and allows you to ignore and continue with the
save. -
GT70 Dominator screen and touch buttons issue
Hi guys
Got myself a GT70 Dominator and everything works well except for the screen and touch buttons sometimes.
First of all the screen. It works well BUT it starts to flicker sometimes. The screen is working and then suddenly it just starts to flicker and everything is doubled for 20-40 seconds. I have the latest GPU drivers for my nvidia and intel GPU's.
And the thing with my touch buttons is that, the G button, the one left of the G button and the Media player button are not working(Plane mode, keyboard lighting and cooling buttons are all working).
Any help is much appreciated!
UPDATE: The touch buttons started working again just out of the blue ...I've never heard of something like that with the screen. If it's still rather new, I'd probably consider sending it back to MSI for them to look at it.

Lightroom mobile performance and "previous" button issues
I am considering subscribing to Lightroom mobile for iPad so I decided to give it a trial run with 2000+ photos sync-ed (iPad 3, Nikon D7000 raw files). The performance is awful!
Browsing through the images is fairly decent. Flagging also does a good job and seems that export works fine, but that is as far as I would go in praising the app.
Downloading from the cloud for offline use takes time (for sure my internet connection's bandwidth is not the problem) and the app does not sync files for offline use when the iPad locks. I had to change the iPad lock settings to "never" in order to be able to download the full set of images. The iPad went from 50% battery to 10% just to download the files. That long it took, with the brightness dimmed to the minimum.
With all other apps closed on the iPad (and offline from CC), it takes 2 to 5 seconds for loading the adjustment values (not to render the image) when moving to a new image (all image info off: exposure settings and histogram).
When using basic adjustments and crop I have found it very difficult to apply the same settings to the next image. Simply the Previous button is inactive. Browsing back and forth seems to activate this button at random times. But clicking on it and selecting "Everything from previous" does not bring any settings. Neither the basic adjustments, nor the crop settings. Although the image seems to be re-rendering.
In this case above, once the "Previous" button is reactivated, clicking on it highlights the selection (e.g. "Everything from previous") but no settings are applied. The menu does not close. I can click on "everything from" or "basic tones from" and they get highlighted but nothing happens. The menu does not close. Extremely annoying.
Same thing for the Reset menu. Sometimes it works sometimes not. I have managed (again at random times) to reset the image to the import settings, browse back and forward to other images, return to the image and then apply the settings from previous photo successfully. But only if I wait 2-3 seconds after the "Previous" menu pops-up.
When I hit the Reset -> All menu and then Previous -> "Everything", the image seems to only receive distortion correction (applied on the desktop to all photos upon import). No other settings are applied (basic adjustments or crop).
When connected to CC, performance degrades even more as it seems that the app is checking for updated settings to the file. It adds an additional 2-3 seconds per image...
Is there a fix in the works for these annoyances? At the current stage of the app, I do not consider subscribing to Creative Cloud as the app is basically unusable for batch processing.
It would be best if the app would be optimised for batch processing as at the moment it seems as poor as the Photos app on the iPad (with some versatility in terms of the settings that can be tweaked). Any target date for a future update? My trial expires in 20 days or so and I am not impressed for now.
I am not bothered by the slow rendering of the images on my device (for sure the iPad Air would do a better job) but the user interface is extremely slow and unusable. I have managed to edit 135 photos in 2 weekend days (roughly 4 hours of use). Very disappointed.Hi,
thank you for your feedback.
Previous... will only be active if the two images (previous one) and the present have different adjustments.
Some more answers inline:
In this case above, once the "Previous" button is reactivated, clicking on it highlights the selection (e.g. "Everything from previous") but no settings are applied. The menu does not close. I can click on "everything from" or "basic tones from" and they get highlighted but nothing happens. The menu does not close. Extremely annoying.
The Previous... menu will not close automatically once one of its options has been chosen. Btw. do the small thumbnails visually differ from another (Basic tones and Everything)?
Same thing for the Reset menu. Sometimes it works sometimes not. I have managed (again at random times) to reset the image to the import settings, browse back and forward to other images, return to the image and then apply the settings from previous photo successfully. But only if I wait 2-3 seconds after the "Previous" menu pops-up.
Reset to Import is only visible if you have done any changes to the image. When you mention that it sometimes doesn't work - is the problem that it's not enabled at all?
When using basic adjustments and crop I have found it very difficult to apply the same settings to the next image. Simply the Previous button is inactive. Browsing back and forth seems to activate this button at random times. But clicking on it and selecting "Everything from previous" does not bring any settings. Neither the basic adjustments, nor the crop settings. Although the image seems to be re-rendering.
It would be nice if you could give us some more info on this case. Since I have a problem reproducing this issue, could you please let us know if you have many applications in the background? How much free space do you have on your device?
Does a restart of the device help (in some cases it can)?
When I hit the Reset -> All menu and then Previous -> "Everything", the image seems to only receive distortion correction (applied on the desktop to all photos upon import). No other settings are applied (basic adjustments or crop).
Are you doing Previous->Everything this on the same image that you reset?
thanks,

Storyline and return button issues
I've been trying, with little success, to create a menu with multiple tracks and markers in the tracks. I have about 20 tracks with markers inside each track. The client wants a play all function, and then be able to go to specific marker points. Now here is where I'm having a problem. They would like to be able to go to a specific marker and play then, when that marker gets to the next marker to stop and go back to the menu you started at. I have been trying to create this but can't et the marker to stop at the next marker and return to the menu. Also I need the preceding marker to function like the last. Also I'm having problems creating a return from the tracks to the menu they selected from. I hope I explained this well enough. If not I will try again.
This is a classic scenario with DVDs. You have multiple menus that access the same tracks, you need to play individual clips, also play all clips AND get back to the correct menu each time.
Much can be accomplished with stories and chapter markers. There are two main approaches:
1) put end jumps on each chapter marker to go back to the correct menu and button but ONLY if the chapter itself is reached from a single menu. Add a single story and put ALL markers from the track into that. This story container can have its own end jump and menu call added - set your play all button to go to the story container (not the chapters) and the whole track will play. You can also set the track end jump and menu call as you wish.
2) Add twenty stories per track (one for each chapter) and don't put end jumps on the markers. Instead, put a single marker into a single story container, add the menu call and end jump on the story and set the buttons to play a single clip to point at the appropriate story instead. For the play all, point the button to the track itself, and not a story. Set the menu and end jump for the track to go back to the single menu it gets activated from.
However, if you have more than one menu that has buttons which play the same track (i.e. menu 1 and 2 both point to the same markers on track 1, or to the same stories) then you have a problem knowing which menu to go back to. This is only a problem if you have buttons on each menu that do access the same stories, tracks or markers somehow. In this case you MUST use scripts, or you set up a separate story on the tracks and point to those. You can have up to 98 additional stories per track if that is all you are adding to your disc, so there is massive flexibility to do a you need. Scripting will be initially harder to accomplish if it is your first go, but will ultimately save you time as there is actually less to do than if you set up loads of stories.

Interesting Focus II: JComboBox, 2 JLists and 1 Button
Hi All,
Another Interesting Keyboard Focus Question:
What we want to do?
Let's say we want to build a JComboBox whose popup contains 2 JLists and a button.
What we would probably want to do is:
comboBox.setUI(new MyComboBoxUI());
MyComboBoxUI will extend BasicComboBoxUI and
ovveride createPopup to return a BasicComboPopup subclass
which will add the other JList and JButton.
(One can argue that this is not a JComboBox anymore, but bare with me)
Does it work?
This will work great with the Mouse, but with the Keyboard we face a problem:
After our popup is displayed, The JComboBox Still Has The Focus - Any UP or DOWN Events are really proccessed by the JComboBox which simulates JList navigation...
This is happening because the popup is not keyboard-focusable (and so do all of its components)
Where' s the problem?
We want to be able to:
1. Press TAB to navigate thru the 3 components
2. Press UP and DOWN to navigate the two JLists
3. Press Space to activate the JButton
Possible solutions:
1.
Don't subclass BasicComboPopup and write a ComboPopup which uses a Focusable JWindow.
Problem: The JComboBox will lose the focus when the popup opens
2.
Simulate all the DOWN/UP/TAB/SPACE events to the popup
Problem: The components are not focusable, hence there is no indication
of who is the current focused component
(Might be solved by surrounding the 'focused' component with a border)
Your thoughts?
If you haven't fell asleep by now, you are welcomed to share you ideas, Thanks
Eyal KatzSorry, I don't understand what you are trying to accomplish. However one line did catch my eye.
This is happening because the popup is not keyboard-focusable The code in the popupPopup() method in the following post might help:

Trackpad and trackpad button often unresponsive in Mavericks
This is an offshoot of discussion about a mouse right click not always working since upgrading to Mavericks.
I said using the trackpad and trackpad button on my MBP often doesn't effect the computer; I have to repeat those actions multiple times before anything happens.
Drew Reece offered some suggestions for my issues:
First, I came to Mavericks from Snow Leopard because I'd tried Lion and Mt. Lion but found my old laptop (early 2008 MBP v4.1) ran way, too slow.
Before going whole hog on Mavericks I read a lot, then installed it on an external drive (spinning, connected with FW800) and played with it for a few days. I used Migration Assistant to make the move, which segregated software that was not compatible. Mavericks was slow for a few days, but did gradually speed up. However, that was when I first ran into the issue with the trackpad and button not registering with the computer's display. I also ran into the problems with Mail not liking my 3 Gmail accounts but actually solved that using by booting in safe mode, thanks to another poster here. Not sure why - I attributed it to Spotlight indexing the drive - everything about the computer was very slow and extremely funky while in safe mode; no way I would want to judge the OS based on performance during that boot. It was awful.
I did update a lot of applications to Mavericks-ready versions while I was using 10.9 on that external drive.
When I felt comfortable, I wiped my NBP hard drive and did a clean install of Mavericks, followed by repeating the same software updates. Then used Super Duper to just bring over User folders from that external drive. Because SD restores the Spotlight state there was no "break-in" period so Mavericks ran reasonably fast right away. I wasn't ready for iCloud deleting my Address Book data but, fortunately, I replaced everything from the external drive's Users/me/Library/Application Support/Address Book folder.
So, per Drew's suggestion, I ran EtreCheck:

Sorry about the length of this but I wanted to addres all Drew's suggestions. And I'm still seeing those intermittent trackpad/button issues.
- thanksI'll try to break down each of these sections & point out any bad signs below.
Hopefully the color helps…

Red items are loaded at the system level
Blue items are loaded at the user level
The other stuff gets loaded into apps like Safari - they are internet plugins.
Cleanup:
All the usual caveats apply, backup before you modify the system, delete the items (or move them to another disk or folder if you are worried about deleting the wrong thing) but ensure the originals are gone or updated.
Use the Finders "Go menu > Go to Folder…" to open the hidden ~/Library (your users library).
Reboot for the system changes to take effect.
How to find updates:
The critical launchd jobs & kernel extensions use reverse domain notation e.g.
at.obdev.littlesnitchd.plist means look at http://obdev.at for 'LittleSnitch' updates
You want to try to update or remove all the system level items.
Startup Items: Stored in /Library/StartupItems/
Startup Items have been discontinued by Apple since Mac OS 10.4. They are responsible for making changes at a system level. Remove them all or spend time ensuring ALL related software is up to date. You need a very good reason to have anything installed in here.
Kernel Extensions: Stored in /Library/Extensions/
Kernel Extensions also load third party code, but they insert it into the 'core' of the OS. These can be safe, however you must ensure the related tools or apps are up to date, otherwise the system is basically built upon quicksand. Remove them all & see if the OS works better.
Your LittleSnitch is out of date for example, how about hardware monitor or Rogueamoeba's software?
Launchd jobs: several types
LaunchAgents - Stored in /Library/LaunchAgents
LaunchDaemons - Stored in /Library/LaunchDaemons
User LaunchAgents - Stored in ~/Library/LaunchAgents
These are all background jobs, they are not necessarily bad, but if they are loading old code it could be doing untold damage to the performance & stability of the entire OS. Focus on the System level jobs (the ones inside /Library - the system level) also remove ['failed'] jobs.
EtreCheck gives a status on launchd jobs…
[loaded] - a running job
[not loaded] - jobs that are set not to run, basically harmless, remove them unless you plan to use the associated software (if it is up to date)
[failed] - jobs in a crashed or unknown state, it could be forking processes or using all the system resources, remove these.
User login items:
Applications and helpers that are managed inside 'Systems Preferences > Users and groups > Login Items tab'.
These are loaded at the 'User level', consider removing all of them whilst you troubleshoot. When you decide to re-add them ensure the software is up to date.
3rd Party Preference Panes: & Internet Plug-ins:
/Library/PreferencePanes/ and ~/Library/PreferencePanes/
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ and ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
Once again these items all must be up to date, or remove them from your system. If the prefpanes manage additional software use the uninstaller or see the developers site for uninstall instructions.
Read the list of Internet plug-ins carefully, there are often duplicate Flash player versions that won't help stability, it's just wasted space too.
Don't forget to also update Safari's extensions in it's preferences (if you have any).
Re-run EtreCheck after cleaning up to see if items have returned (some apps will reload the background jobs when re-opened, so either update or remove the software).
Hope that isn't too daunting, the OS should be better if there are less old items running at the system level. -
Next and Previous Buttons, n00b edition
OK, I am trying to construct a "timeline" flash file, where
basically you click either a next or previous button to move
through different frames, and I think I know how to do everything
other than the next and previous buttons. Two questions:
Would this be easier as AS2.0 or AS3.0?
If I use AS3, would this code work, and is "my_mc" simply the
name of the layer with the navigable frames?
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,buttonPressed);
prev_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,buttonPressedprev);
function buttonPressed(event:MouseEvent){
my_mc.nextFrame()
function buttonPressedprev(event:MouseEvent){
my_mc.prevFrame()
Sorry if this is confusing, I am such a n00b I don't even
know how to ask questions properly.sholditch,

Google absolutely rocks, but I hear ya ... you have to be
willing to
wade through numerous search results. Fortunately, the Help
docs usually
get you directly to your answer -- and quickly, at that -- if
you just know
how to navigate them. If you're using Flash CS3, the Help
docs are local,
though optionally available online. If you're using Flash
CS4, the docs are
online and open in a browser, in either case, what you're
looking for
specifically is the ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference (if
you're using
AS2) or the ActionScript 3.0 Language and Components
reference (if you're
using AS3).
AS2:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS2LCR/Flash_10.0/help.html?content=Part2_AS2_LangRef_1.html
AS3:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS3LCR/Flash_10.0/index.html
In the case of AS2, you'll click on the lefthand side. Open
up
"ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference," then "ActionScript
classes," and
you're in. In the case of AS3, you'll see the classes already
listed on the
lefthand side.
Now ... you've coded up your button, which means you
consulted the
Button (AS2) or SimpleButton (AS3) class to see what was
available to you.
(I'm speaking hypothetically, of course. When you've become
more
comfortable with the docs, this will often describe your
initial steps.)
You want to code up a button symbol, so that means you've
looked up the
Events heading for the appropriate class to see what this
object can react
to, such as a button click. You've found your event --
onRelease or
MouseEvent.CLICK -- and have associated that event with a
custom function.
Now, you're on to the next step. In this case, the object
you're
looking for is no longer a button. It's a movie clip, because
you want this
function to send the main timeline forward or backward.
Again, your first
question is always: a) what object am I dealing with? Here,
it's the
MovieClip class, so that's where you flip to. Your second
question is: b)
what category am I looking for? If characteristics, look up
Properties; if
something the object can do, look up Methods; if something
the object can
react to, look up Events. In this case, you want to send the
timeline
somewhere. That's something the timeline (that is, this
particular movie
clip) can do. The things-an-object-can-do category is
Methods, so that's
where you flip to.
You'll see a decent selection in either language, including
the common
gotoAndPlay(), gotoAndStop(), and so on. You'll also see
nextFrame() and
prevFrame(). Bingo! (Note, both versions of the language rely
on something
called inheritance, which behaves just like it sounds. Just
as we humans
inherit traits from our predecessors, most classes inherit
traits from other
classes up the family tree. In the AS3 docs, you'll see a
"Show Inherited
Public Methdods [or Properties, or Events]" hyperlink. If you
need more
detail, be sure to click that link. In the AS2 docs, the
inherited items
are listed in a box beneath each heading. Any given class may
or may not
have inherited items.)
So you really don't have to wade too far. Think of what
object you're
dealing with, then jump to the relevant category.

Movie clips (including the main timeline) just animate
naturally -- they
*want* to move -- so if you want a timeline to stop, you have
to instruct it
to. Here again, you'll look up the MovieClip class and,
because you want to
find out how to *do* something (how to stop this movie clip),
you'll jump to
the Methods section. Sure enough, there's a MovieClip.stop()
method.
In frame 1 of your main timeline, simply type stop(), and
that'll do it.
The reason it works is because you're invoking a MovieClip
method on a
MovieClip instance -- the main timeline. If you wanted to
stop a movie clip
symbol, you'd have to give it an instance name, then invoke
the method on
that particular instance, like this:
myMovieClip.stop();
... in which case, myMovieClip is the instance name, and this
clip happens
to site in the same timeline as this code appears.
Alternatively, you could enter the timeline of that movie
clip and
simply put stop() in its own first frame. That would do it
too. In either
case, you've invoked a MovieClip method on a particular movie
clip. All you
ever need is an object reference (implicit, because you're in
that object's
scope) or an instance name (or a variable that, by some other
mechanism,
refers to a particular object) and then you're set. With that
reference in
hand, you simply name the reference, put a dot, then invoke
the desired
property, method, or event.
In the case where you simply invoke stop() on the main
timeline, you
*could* reference the main timeline directly, like this:
this.stop();
The "this" keyword is a special reference that refers to
whatever scope
its in. Because your code appears inside a keyframe, its
scope is the movie
clip in which that keyframe appears, therefore "this" -- in
that context --
refers to that movie clip. But as I showed earlier, you can
also simply
leave off the prefix object reference because Flash will know
what you mean
(that is, which movie clip you mean).
Eventually, when you're more comfortable, you'll reference
instances of
other kinds of objects, such as sounds, text formatting
objects, and more.
In those cases, your object reference -- an instance name, or
a variable --
will act the same way, but you'll only be able to invoke
functionality from
the relevant class.
If you have Sound instance, for example, you couldn't do
this:
mySound.gotoAndPlay(15);
... because sounds don't have timelines, and the Sound
class's Methods
section doesn't feature a gotoAndPlay() method. And that
totally makes
sense, right?

I'm happy to keep answering your questions here, but yes, I
do have a
few books you might be interested in. If you're using Flash
CS3, you might
consider Tom Green's and my Foundation Flash CS3 for
Designers (friends of
ED) (
http://tinyurl.com/2k29mj),
and if you're using Flash CS4, you'll want
the current version of that book (
http://tinyurl.com/5j55cv).
Bear in mind,
these are "foundation" books, so they cover all of Flash, not
just
ActionScript. Still, there's tons of ActionScript in either
one
(exclusively AS3, by happenstance), and we've received
positive feedback on
the ActionScript Basics chapter, in particular.
I also recently finished an AS2-to-AS3 migration book for
O'Reilly
http://tinyurl.com/2s28a5),
but that one may not be especially useful for
you, because it focuses more on developers who have a basic
understanding of
AS2 but feel bewildered when it comes to AS3.
There's also my blog, (quip.net/blog), which has tons of AS2
stuff, and
is slowly growing new AS3 content. One of my co-authors for
the O'Reilly
book, Rich Shupe, co-authored an ActionScript 3.0 book
specifically for
beginners, so take a look, read the reviews, and see if the
publisher offers
sample chapters. They often do, and that's usually a good
indicator -- to
me, anyway -- of how a particular author's style gels (or
doesn't gel) with
your particular learning style.

[RESOLVED] Double text label on focused button in the Eclipse
Hi!
After update in addition to this I get one more thing: in the Eclipse (both in a CDT and in a PDT) labels on a focused button gets doubling now.
It looks like this:
There is no such an artefacts in other java (and non-java) apps which I have.
Any ideas?
Offtopic: may someone for whom English is native language to comment my grammar? :-)
Last edited by beaux_monde (2014-02-07 13:55:19)It looks like I resolved this issue by myself.
I use qtcurve. And if I uncheck "Embolden text" in a "Default Button" in a qtcurve settings label doubling goes away... But this was detected in the Eclipse only. -
Web browser resets scroll position and focus when page load completes
when a page is loading, the scroll position of the page reverts to the top-left and focus in a form element is lost whenever an element or the whole page finishes loading
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)Possibly related to the OP's question, I wish we could get the composition page to scroll when typing a reply here on the forum (while using my Pre plus).
Quoting a reply fills half the text box, then once I reach the bottom of the box, I can't scroll any further downward to complete my reply...

Use "next" and "previous" buttons in two scroll panes
Hello, I have a question about how to use next and previous buttons in two scroll panes. In fact, I plan to display two similar files (HTML) in two scroll panes seperately. the purpose is to find their differences, highlight these differences and finally traverse these differences one by one by using next and previous buttons.
To realize this function, how should I mark their differences so that next and prevous buttons can recognize their locations? does anyone have idea?
Thank you very much.Can "focus" resolve this problem? But how should I add focus to a line in one HTML files? Thank you.

Lumia 928 don't works focus button
Hello.
I bought my 928 past June, and midrange button to put focus stopped work.
I mean, the picture is taken, but without focus. To take a good photo, I must touch phone screen.
The phone did not any blow. It's new yet.
Can someone give me a feedback?
Thank you
DiegoI think you ran into a quirky bug that hasn't been fixed yet. In your target MSOs, try setting a Cross Fade with a minimal delay, such as 0.125 seconds. Then it should work.
