Pressing Esc while typing a message deletes my mes...

Hello,
Here is the problem:
I'm writing a message, and I accidentaly press the Esc character.
The message is instantly gone, no prompt, no dialog no nothing.
And I can't even get it back, Ctrl+Z doesn't do anything, arrow keys as well...
I think that this is a flawed UI design and I couldn't find a way to change it.
If someone has a solution I would be very grateful.
Typing the message in Notepad and copy-pasting is not a solution.
Skype version: 7.3.0.101
OS: Windows 7 64 bit
Best regards,
Stefan

Yes this is a wonderfull peice of design by the skype team.
If you are in default view pressing escape key deletes everything you have typed - nice - well done team skype for yet one more idiotic implementation.
If you switch to compact view, when you press the Esc key you get a prompt informing you that you are about to delete your conversation, so can say:
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!  
This takes you back to your chat without deleting anything.
Thank you for the suggestion.
In my version of Skype, the "Compact View" is actually called "Split Window View".
Nevertheless, it works like you've described it.
It would be nice to have that option in the "Single Window View" as well.
I might ask for that feature, If I can find how to do it.
Best regards,
Stefan.

  • Scrolling through message thread while typing new message....

    Prior to iOS7 when I typed a long text I could press edit while typing to scroll up to see the previous message.  Now once I've filled the screen I can't find anyway to go back and look at the previous message until I've pressed send... I type a lot of long messages and it's annoying to not be able to see what I'm replying too..... Anyone know how to do this ? Thanks....

    I thought so too but apparently you can read them. You just swipe the tiny bar above the message you're typing down (underneath the name of the person you're texting with) and you can re-read your messages

  • How to disable annoying "Press Esc to exit fullscreen" message?

    Hi,
    every time I watch flash videos and go fullscreen, I see this annoing message in the center of the screen that blocks what I want to see in the first place. Is there any way to disable it permanently? There was a hex fix for this for older versions, but I would like to see an option in flash or something.

    Thanks for help and I hope apple do some thing to help their  customers other then causing them frustration. Terribly disappointed by apple's treatment of their own customers, Apple  is helping android.
    Wish you all the best Apple..

  • Two tables of contact persons while typing text message.

    Hi,
    when I want to type a text message and when I try to type the name of the contact person. The blackberry shows the possibilities twice. So I see two tables of contact persons but just one is a workable table. The other stays as a kind of background. It will only disappear if I scroll with the trackpad over the table.
    Is this a known problem and is there a solution?

    Yes, the speaker is on the bottom (where you plug it in to charge - that's between two things, one is the speaker, one is the mic, just like another user said -- just thought I'd clarify that it is near where you plug it in to charge/sync).
    I noticed something odd with my sound once, too. The normal "click" sounds (when turning it on/off or sleep/wake) changed to a different pitch. Not a problem, just kinda bothersome that it happened out of nowhere. I can't remember whether I simply powered it completely off and then back on or if I did the reset (hold home button and power button at same time, ignore the prompt to "slide to turn off" until it shuts off & you get the apple), but which ever I did, that fixed it. Have you tried either of those yet? If not, try the simple power off then back on, and try the reset if that doesn't help.

  • N70 Screen flickers while typing message

    Hello:
    I have bought Nokia N70 Music Edition 3 days back but i am noticing that the screen flickers while typing the message.
    The screen flickering that occurs while typing a msg does not occur when i m using any of the nokia builtin themes...but when i m using the themes which i have downloaded from www.zedge.net, the flickering while typing msg takes place...i had installed the themes in mem card, but i have also tried installing them to phone and then checking the theme, but still the flickering occurs. The theme installation puts some application called OWN SKIN ANIMATOR in the startup of my mobile. It has something to do with the animation of the theme, although i have tried exiting the application and then testing the msg flickering, and it STILL occurs ...can u please suggest a solution or tell me some good themes or a good site to download themes for N70 ME.
    P.S. I have been downloading themes from www.zedge.net for quite a long time and it has never created any problems on my previous phones i.e. Nokia 5200 and 6300

  • Screen Flickers while typing!

    I bought my Z3 last week from Sony World, Indira Nagar, Bangalore! Having a worst experience in my life with a Sony product. The problem I'm getting is a flickering screen which completely goes white-blank with colour grains while typing. This is happened about not less than 10 times while typing this message so far. This is there from the first day itself. I thought it's a one off. This is happening consistently! It is happening whichever place I go. Please provide a solution or replace my Z3 in good faith. I!very been a Sony Phone user since year 2000. I've spend about Rupees 50,000K, in India it's a lot of money. To give you a perspective, This is a moths Salary of an average middle class person. Kindly act fast and with sensitivity! Expecting a quick response. Sincerely Reghu

  • After upgrade to iOS8 on my iPhone5, I do not see smart keyboard options while typing message or email text

    after upgrade to iOS8 on my iPhone5, I do not see smart keyboard options while typing message or email text

    Go to Settings>General>Keyboards>Predictive Text>ON. If it is on, you can toggle it off and then back on. The other method is to check in the typing area of the Messages app and it could be minimized. You would see a small line in the center just below the typing area. You would just need to put your finger on that small line and swipe upwards. But either should bring it back.

  • How to permanently disable this message: "Press Esc to exit full screen." (by Adobe Flash Player) in Mac's Safari Browser?

    Hello everyone,
    I have been searching for sometime (without any success) for a solution to permanently remove this annoying message: "Press Esc to exit full screen."
    Whenever I go to full screen mode, watching any video on YouTube, BBC, CNN (or many other websites which use Adobe Flash Player for streaming video) I have to bare seeing this message for several seconds until it fades away. Seeing this message once or twice would have been okay, but as we all watch many videos on a daily basis on internet, after weeks, months and now years seeing this message over and over again many times every day, it becomes very annoying, and I find myself rewinding many videos to their beginning after this message fades away to be able to watch it from the beginning without anything obstructing it!
    Does anyone know how to "permanently" disable this message from appearing?
    I am using the latest version of Safari 6.0 on the latest version of OS X (Mountain Lion 10.8.1), and have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (Plug-in version 11.4.402.265) installed on my new MacBook Pro 15" with Retina Display.
    Thanks,

    Thanks Carolyn,
    I am attaching a screenshot here for you to see that this setting was already set to what you suggested. I didn't need to change it as it was like this even before I post this message.
    So the problem still presists and unfortunately your suggestion is not a solution to this probelm.
    Last night I did more reseach and found a discussion in Adobe website, it seems a lot of other people have the same issue, and even started a discussion in Adobe website about it. But unfortunately Adobe refuses to address it and enable the end user at least to have an option to turn this message off from displaying permanently on his/her computer.
    I am writing down the url links for the two posts regarding this issue on Adobe's website:
    Link #1: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/921270
    Link #2: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3058752
    Hopefully more people will get involved and ultimately we will either get Adobe's attention, or someone will find a "hack" and post it here for all of us. I have found some suggested "hacks" for Windows environment (you can simply google it, I am sure you will find them too). But so far I haven't seen anything for Mac's Safari browser.
    Cheers,

  • After upgrading the new operating system, it seems some useful features no longer work such as when typing a message the text anticipates the next word and when trying to delete individual messages from a contact, you can no longer tap and hold to select

    After upgrading the new operating system on my Droid Razr M it seems some useful features no longer work such as when typing a message the text anticipates the next word and when trying to delete individual messages from a contact, you can no longer tap and hold to select multiple message you have to delete them individually or the entire thread. Is there a way to get these back?

    Well, that's kind of embarrassing. And I honestly thought I paid attention to that... It works perfectly now, thank you so much!
    As expected, cdm-git also works fine since DMs only work in the root mode as of now.
    Just for the record, both type commands output "/usr/bin/startx" and pacman -Q gives "systemd 215-4".

    My lower right screen touch

    There is a possibility that your digitizer has malfunctioned. I had a similar problem on my iphone 3gs whereas the lower left part of my screen didnt respond to touch at all. Take your phone to an Apple store and have them fix it for you. I fixed my iphone 3gs' digitizer by replacing it myself because my phone was out of warranty, and there arent any Apple stores nearby. But you should definitely take your phone to Apple store and let them fix it for you, because in order to replace digitizer on iphone 4, you really need to be skillful when it comes to phone repairs,and attemting any repairs yourself voids your warranty. Hope I helped. Cheers mate

  • There are text messages that I'm having trouble deleting.  With some of my text messages, I can swipe to the left and delete ... or press and hold, get more and delete to trash can icon. But there are some where neither will work. Can't delete. Help!

    There are text messages that I'm having trouble deleting.  With some of my text messages, I can swipe to the left and delete ... or press and hold, get more and delete to trash can icon. But there are some where neither will work. Can't delete. Help!

    But once again, I do not want to lose my other texts, app progress, and photos. I could sync the photos but i would still lose the app progress and texts. I would only restore if it was the only option left, but the other space, as already stated, isnt the main concern. The main concern is those 'deleted' texts. If they go, then a good size chunk of the other space goes. I know you CAN delete texts for good. It worked fine before. All i want to know is why its not working for me now, and how to fix it.
    I also know that when you delete texts on your iphone, they get marked for deletion, however they stay on your device (thats why they show up when you search for them.) then when you sync your device with itunes, the texts marked for deletion should disappear. When i synced they didnt disappear. Thats what i need an explanation/solution for. Why the texts marked for deletion didnt get fully deleted after the sync.

    Everywhere that I've checked it is not possible to do this. I would like to even do this using the vkb. I hate having to stretch my thumb all the way up just to send a message. It's messaging, not a report or email. Seems backwards. Hopefully some day Apple can add this option.

  • While typing in an email, I can not delete or backspace a single letter. When I delete one letter, the whole line disappear.

    While typing in an email, I can not delete or backspace a single letter. When I delete one letter, the whole line disappear. I am using Window 7 and latest Firefox.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Using Firefox on my new machine with Window 7.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Apple Mail syncing while typing, multiple updates on BB for same message.

    First of all, thanks for looking and helping. Second, it's probably my fault as I am a tweaker often to my detriment. So, with disclaimers out of the way, here's what is happening:
    I have a MacBook Pro and my mail is IMAP from my GMail account. When I respond to an email on the Apple, using Apple Mail, WHILE I AM TYPING, the BB retrieves a NEW email with the latest installment of the email!!! Here's an example that just happened:
    Open email, start replying... "Paul, I wanted to explain"
    BB announces new mail with that sentence
    I continue typing... "why I like pasta"
    BB announces new email with "Paul, I wanted to explain why I like pasta"
    Etc., etc., etc.
    So, my work around it to go to gmail.com and write the email within that program as opposed to using Apple Mail on laptop.
    My BB is Tour 9630 with 4.7.1   and the Gmail app is 2.0.7, if it matters.
    The Apple is running OS X 10.6.2 and Apple Mail is 4.2
    Oh, Bluetooth is not turned on on either device.
    Let me know if you need any further info. Thanks again for looking!
    Peace.

    I have the same problem.
     Just bought the MAC book Pro and while typing on Apple mail everything is syncing on my Blackberry,...This will go on until I finish the mail..Depending on the length of the mail, I can heave more than 15 copies of the same mail that is redundant and constantly updating. Frustrating. I did unchecked the box under preferences, mail box behavior but nothing happened. Has anyone figured out what is the solution?
    Thanks
