Problems typing in Notes panel?

Working in an InDesign/InCopy CS6 workflow (InDesign 8.0.1, designer and editor on Macs) and we're having issues typing in the Notes panel. My editor has created some notes in InCopy. I check out a story in InDesign and try to either add to her note or create a new note, but can't type more than a single character in the Notes panel without InDesign jumping back to the main story. We've had this on and off for a couple of versions now. Doesn't seem to be specific to this project either. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!

In my experience, it's been related to font issues, and usually to auto-activation of fonts. Check that all the  fonts your document is calling for are loaded and available. If a font is truly not available, auto-activation keeps sending out calls to activate something it doesn't have access to, which is interfering with the Notes panel. You may also see problems when trying to enter anything in measurement fields, etc.
As for a fix.... Either get the offending font or replace it in the misbehaving documents, and/or turn off auto activation. That last may be a painful fix, especially for your editor, but manually activating fonts is preferable to not being able to work in Notes, or accidentally entering copy into your live text that you didn't mean to. (Especially after you start getting frustrated and start typing some not-nice things.... )
Just out of curiosity, is this K4, Woodwing or something else?

  • How do you tell if the other person is typing or not?

    Hi, I have ichat 5.0.3 but I have had this problem on all my ichat versions since I started using
    it on my eMac way back in 2004.
    When I use AIM, or Yahoo, Skype, or MSN messenger, I can tell if the other person is typing or not and then if they are typing, I can wait for them to finish before I say something. But on iChat I have never been able to do this.
    Can someone tell me how to tell if the person I am chatting with is replying to me by typing?
    I would really appreciate it!
    Thank you,
    Martha

    You are welcome.
    For the points
    Further Note.
    If you happen to be inked on a LAN to other Macs and everyone has the Bonjour option in iChat On they you can select to "Send as you Type" (AIM on PC has this feature over Internet Connections and it is Called "Real Time").
    However one should remember that someone could be reading it as you type and it is not the same as typing something you would like to say but can't and deleting before sending a revised message.

  • After ICS update problems typing when plugged in, and battery life shortened, also Dolphin browser runs slow.

    I did the update and even did a factory reset, and I am having
    problems typing when plugged in to the wall charger, I get random keystrokes,
    from all over the keyboard, not just the keys around the one i want to press.
    Dolphin browser is running supper slow, especially when on Facebook. The
    battery life has lost at least an hour.

    Phones will do that when plugged in, esp with cheap chargers.. it has to do with the voltage and coveting and the digitized screen. You can google if you want more indepth there
    clear data out of dolphin,check for update? also read comments on the app maybe it sucks on ics
    battery stats got erased when you did a factory reset, give it a few charge cycles

  • Problem typing iphone 4s

    Hi!
    I'm having problems typing in my iPhone 4s, I can not type the letters R, D, F, C when is in a vertical position and I have already restore the iPhone and it didn't work. I don't know what else tu do, I removed the plastic protector from the skin, cleaned it, etc and still can't write those letters. Also when I lock the phone the sliding bar doesn't work either.
    What else can I do? I live in Venezuela and here theres no a support store that can help mi with this.
    Thanks

    I'm almost 100% sure it's a 5.0.1 issue because 2 weeks ago I had my old iphone4s which had iOS 5 on it and the microphone worked like a charm, due to contract issues I was forced to get another iphone4s that came to me delivered with iOS 5.0.1 preinstalled and that's when my microphone stopped working, thus iOS 5.0.1 is the problem

  • Problem typing Korean in HNC Romaja

    When I try to type in Korean using HNC Romaja the syllable that is supposed to go in front of the ㅏdoesn't appear. It's supposed to look like this 아. How do I fix this problem?IT's like this for any one syllable.

    Well, the typing of Romaja isn't unified just yet (Actually there is no consensus yet). I can tell you that it's far easier to use the 2Set with a keyboard cover than using the HNC Romaja. BTW, have you tried GojinCheong Romaja? It's a little better to use.
    아 = letter x +  letter a. Where x = the anchor character (ng or no sound)
    앙 = letter x + letter a + n+g
    Double consonants are made by hitting shift + letter.  example Shift + s = ㅆ
    취  = c+w+i = che sound  Should actually be written "chwe or che"... for whatever reason it is given cwi.
    All of this is a problem with Korea not being on the forefront of linguistics. There has never been a serious push to modernize the language for international Keyboards. Worse is Windows for multilingual computing especially with Korean!

  • Very strange problem typing text in Keynote

    I am having a really ridiculous problem typing text in Keynote. Everytime that I type the characters "fi" together, Keynote autocorrects and changes it to "fä".
    This is incredibly inconvenient as you can imagine. And it does not happen in any other program.
    Anyone, any idea?
    JL

    It sounds like the computer is trying to create the automatic "ligature" I believe it's called, but that font doesn't seem to want to allow Apple's auto-ligatures to display. Is it a "text" or "headline/decorative" font? You should be able to turn off auto-ligatures for that bit of text so that your original letters display separate as intended.

    1. From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    2. Select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
    and confirm. Test.

  • Problem with data not displaying in website

    Hello All,
       I am having a problem with one of our applications. It is written in ColdFusion and uses SQL server. The problem that we are having is when we use the URL Http://bma.com (that is not actually the site name)  we cannot see all the data that it is suppose to pull in. I get an error on page and when I select to view the error this is what I get
    Message: 'WddxRecordset' is undefined Line: 184 Char: 2 Code: 0 URI: http://bma.com/user_maintenance.cfm and Message: 'jsusersTLV' is undefined Line: 3208 Char: 6 Code: 0 URI: http://bma.com/user_maintenance.cfm
    If I put the IP address in the URL for example http://165.83.109.246/bma/login.cfm all of the data is displayed as it should.
    Any thoughts or sugguestios on how to correct this?
    Thanks

    Yes, the user_maintenance.cfm is one of the forms that the data is not displaying on. There are multiple forms in the application and that just happens to be one of them. the login.cfm is just the login screen. Once you select your name and enter your password to the application then you can select the user maintenance form. If you select someones name the application should pull in all of that persons information. That is the problem, it is not pulling in any information on the user. We get a blank screen where data should be. When we use the IP address in the URL and select someones name in the user manintenance form, it pulls in all the data from that user as it should.

  • Hide mouse cursor when typing is not working in IE11 Windows7

    Hide mouse cursor when typing is not working in IE11 Windows7 - I saw a post that devs were looking at this in 2011? Slow progress huh?
    This is really annoying when you have to move the cursor to see what you are typing...

    Hi,
    Please first make sure that Mouse Properties\Pointer options\Hide pointer while typing is ticked.
    If this option is already ticked, then try following steps to troubleshoot:
    Update the driver for the mouse to get the best performance.
    Choose a different cursor as Rob said for a test.
    If this issue occurred recently, check if you have any newly installed programs or IE add-ons which cause this issue, you can test this in no add-ons mode, click start button, type "internet" in the search box, choose "internet explorer (No add-on)".
    * I test in My IE, I have Hide pointer while typing checked, and in some typing boxes in IE the cursor will hide automatically, while some are not, but I think it's not an annoying issue for me.*

    This is a new problem and was not the case before.

    Works perfectly fine for me with the latest Reader version (11.0.09).
    You write that it worked "before"; before what?  An update?  Update from what version to what version?

  • HT5312 So I have a problem with iTunes not letting me download anything without first responding to some security questions which I don't remember setting up, how can fix it? Oh, and it won't let me reset the questions either!

    So I have a problem with iTunes not letting me download anything without first responding to some security questions which I don't remember setting up, how can fix it? Oh, and it won't let me reset the questions either!

    If you mean that you aren't getting the reset link, then from the page that you posted from :
    Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so. 
    You can contact iTunes Support in your country via this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use
