PS path/tool cursors not refreshing

Hi everyone
I'm using PS version 12.1x32 (CS 5.1 Extended) and recently i've been getting some erratic behaviour when creating clipping paths/using other tools.
For some reason, as I'm creating a clipping path, the results of my work aren't showing up unless I either change my view setting or changing my zoom level (which leads me to think it's a refresh problem). Even when I'm done with the clipping path and I move it around, it still doesn't update, only showing the last position (see screen grab below). Has anyone come across this behaviour before and is there a solution? Also, when using other tools, such as rectangular marquee (but not limited to it), my cursor dissappears whenever i'm using the tool. It's a bit annoying to be honest...
Thanks
(note position of path outline in preview window vs actual position in path panel thumbnail).

It seems that OpenGL being enabled had something to do with it. It's working now.

Cursor not refreshing quickly enough with v13.1

With the new update, the cursor is not refreshing quickly enough with multiple presses to the arrow (or ctrl-arrow) keys. For example, if I do three or four arrow presses in a row, the cursor disappears until I stop the sequence of arrow presses, waits a fraction of a second and re-appears,
This is extremely annoying as I can maneuver around my code without stopping to see where I am. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Any ideas how to fix? Thanks in advance

Pai Chart layout and Tool Tip not refreshing

Hi All
We have an application where we displaying data on Pai Chart based on Data-Grid row clicked.
Its an Polling kind of application, where multiple option are there.
When a data grid row clicked, in the Pai chart we displaying polling votes in percentage.
Some question has 2 option and some 4 and out of those few are having votes.
Ex: Question 1 has 2 option ( A, B ) and both got some votes.
Question 2 has 3 options ( X,Y,Z ) and only " X " got all the votes.
So when we clicked on data grid row for Q1 the Pai chart shows all the options ( 2 ) in block dividing manner.
It has also outward tool tip to show the count and percentage.
And when we clicked on Q2 which has 3 options but got votes for only 1, the Pai chart shows perfectly with 100% and one circle without divide, but the tool tip of Q1 not cleared. It shows tool tips of Q1 as well as Q2.
And when adjust the Pai Chart Layout, then only it clears unwanted tool tips, but not automatically.
For better understanding i have attached the screen shot of the problem. please look into that once.
So any one who faced similar kind of problem or know the solution then please help me.
Thanks

I would try resetting your preference file first: http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?14226-Resetting-(or-Trashing-)-the-Lightroom -Preferences-file
Also, install the latest version 4.4.1 would probably be a good idea.

InDesign Type on a Path tool not available in toolbar

My InDesign 6 does not have a Type on a Path tool. The type tool icon in the tool bar does not have a fly-out option where I should be able to find it. I'm pretty sure it was there at one time. Any suggestions on how to restore this?

Thanks for the help. Using the Cleaner Tool and then reinstalling worked.
I must say though. Although I wanted to just clean the Indesign app. I ended up having to clean the entire CS.
I tried using the Enterprise Clean Tool to just select Indesign, but had trouble following the directions on entering code into Terminal.
It would be more user friendly if when you open the Cleaner Tool app it would then ask you what App(s) you want to clean.

Hand cursor (not arrow cursor) in zoom tool

When I use the zoom tool (and most other tools) in Photoshop CS5, I only have a hand-shaped cursor, not an arrow cursor, and I can't do anything with it. How do I get the arrow cursor back?

You should have a magnifying glass as the cursor if you're using the zoom tool, not the arrow. I'm wondering if you don't have an issue with your spacebar on your keyboard, as that activates the hand tool. Can you try a different keyboard?

Type on Path tool not typing on the path

Using the Type on a path tool I keep trying to type along the stroke of the shape though it keeps placing text inside the shape? I am using cs5. What am doing wrong?
Thanks.

Fred,
... I already had type inside. I also want to add type to the path.
Unless changed the the latest version(s), I am afraid the path can only be applied to one Type type at a time so that you will have to copy the path to appy another Type type (sorry, being the type that I am I had to type it in this way).

The Text Tool is not working in Photoshop CC

When I try to use the text tool nothing happens when I type even though the font size is 12, and the color is black, on a white background, and then when I try to get out of the text tool a progress bar shows up that says "Rendering type", and the progress bar is not done until for 15 minutes later. After that no text shows. I tried to wave the text tool cursor over where I used it previously, and the cursor does not detect any text in the area.
This is a brand new install of photoshop, I haven't done any customizations to it.
My operating system is a Mac with OS X 10.7.5.
Things I tried already:
- I tried uninstalling, and reinstalling Photoshop CC, and Creative Cloud.
- I tried changing font size, color. Each took 15 minutes because of the rendering type progress bar.
- I tried changing to main fonts like Verdana, Arial, etc.
- I did the steps on this Font troubleshooting page:
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/troubleshoot-fonts-photoshop-cs5.html
These were the steps on that page:
- Make sure Photoshop is the most recent version.
- Turn font preview off.
- Remove specified fonts known to cause trouble.
- Empty the photoshop font cache
- Empty the operating system font cache
- Try removing all but one font on the Mac, and keep rest in another folder.
- Use their font test script.
Now the only font I have in my Mac Fonts folder is Arial.ttf
I did all these things, and the problem still happens. Every other tool is working for me though! I need to use photoshop for a graphic design job I need to get done. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I found out the problem! When I pressed "File" > "New" to make a new document I typed in 1000, but I'm used to the measurements being in pixels, not inches. The new install had it in inches lol. The canvas was humungous! Once I set it back to a smaller size the text tool worked great! I feel silly I over looked that!

Discoverer 10.1.2 does not refresh new added column

Hello,
I need help to add a new item to EUL Business Area folder for a new added column in the database table.
When I refresh the folder in the BA EUL, the result shows no difference between the folder and the underlying table in the database; however, when I quey the table in the database, a new column is there. The refresh of the folder in the Discoverer Admin tool cannot find the newly added column. Weird!! The first time saw this problem.
Could someone shine some light on it? Would be really appreciate it!
Ping

I have a slightly different problem and can't solve it! When I refresh the EUL, the result shows the differences between the folder and the underlying tables in the database. However, it does not refresh the EUL in Discoverer Administrator 10g. Nothing happens! When I try to refresh again, the same list is shown... Does anyone know what could be happening?
Thanks

Fix for broken tool cursors in PS Elements 7 with Windows 8.1?

I have Photoshop Elements 7 and have been perfectly happy with it for editing photos/images as a hobby on my older Windows XP and Windows 7 PCs. I have no real need to upgrade to Photoshop Elements 12. I just installed Windows 8.1 on my new Surface Pro and now all the tool cursors in PS Elements 7 are broken. Reinstalling PS Elements 7 did not work. All the tools which use an actual graphic for a cursor appear distorted. What can I do to fix this?

Generally that's caused by the system dpi scaling
(the triple cursor effect)
Go to Control Panel>Appearance and Personalization>Make text and other items larger or smaller
Then try adjusting the size to Smaller
You might have to use Let me choose one scaling level for all my displays and use the Custom sizing options and choose something like 124% or 149%

Edited Images Do Not Refresh

When I edit an image in an external program (PS, Illustrator), Dreamweaver doesn't show the changes. It insists that no changes have been made. Refresh doesn't help, nor does using any of those idiotic internal image editing buttons in DW. (Half of them are greyed out most of the time anyway.)
There's more information & frustration at this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2181158#2181158 ... which was mysteriously marked "Answered".
Here's an example: I have a graphic in an HTML document, stored locally. I edit the graphic and save it, but DW continues to use the older preview image. I can see the updated image in Live View, but it actually reverts back to the earlier image when I return to Design Mode! Madness! Why would it do that? It also fails to update the preview image when I upload & use absolute URLs to identify the image.
This was not an issue in CS3 IIRC. I think the addition of those image-editing tools in CS5 have screwed things up somehow, like DW has decided it is the only program on the machine.
This is one of those things that stops workflow dead in its tracks.

Also, the issue seems to happen only when working with absolute links
-- I create a lot of HTML emails for clients, and I'm pretty certain
that's the only time I run into this issue. For the rest of my work
links are root-relative, and seem to update fine.
This is why I said what I said because that's what I was afraid of. I've been skeptical myself of DWs abilities at handling remote content in your specific situation, which unfortunately is very common. What I would recommend doing is what I have done and submit a feature request to Adobe for future versions since they seem to be moving a bit quicker now after publishing the CS5.5 release to accomodate for HTML5 and CSS3.
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
Personally speaking my recommendation was an HTML email mode where the "browse" function could potentially work with remote connection (eg: FTP) and select the files creating absolute links as you go, and have the ability to turn on inline CSS writing permanently (unlike the current drop-down option in the Properties window). That was just my suggestion, but the more suggestions people send to Adobe about this, the more likely it is to happen.
And just as a final note based on what you describe it is a caching issue. What is happening when working with remote images is that DW downloads a copy locally and then you see that. Live View always refreshes since it runs against the server, and the Refresh button "should" re-download all images from the server to replace the cached versions, but that does not appear to be working. You might also want to submit a separate bug report using that same form (there is an option saying Feature Request or Bug Report) so they are aware that the cache not refreshing as often as it should is being viewed as a bug. From my experiences in working with HTML emails I tend to push people towards services like Mailchimp that allow me as a designer, to simply give them a ZIP file containing their work, they just upload and send. No absolute linking is necessary since the images are hosted by the ESP so it allows me as a designer to work with all local files, zip and go. There was another service that someone else mentioned on the forums that has a similar feature that I do apologize that I don't remember the name to because I have no experience with that service, but it's definitely something to consider if you are setting up an account with an ESP. Unfortunately, there are also places like Constant Contact that has its own custom markup that you must use to even track links in an email, so believe me when I say I've seen both sides of the spectrum.

X11 cursor not generated correctly with xcursorgen

I need some help with the animated cursors... running:
sudo xcursorgen left_ptr_watch.config watch
from the source directory generates no errors, but does not create a file for the cursor?
The folder layout is:
~/Path to cursor/source/left_ptr_watch/ (location of the .png files for the animated cursor)
The config file reads:
# <size> <hotx> <hoty> <relative path> <frame delay>
32 0 0 left_ptr_watch/watch0.png 60
32 0 0 left_ptr_watch/watch1.png 60
32 0 0 left_ptr_watch/watch2.png 60
32 0 0 left_ptr_watch/watch3.png 60
32 0 0 left_ptr_watch/watch4.png 60
32 0 0 left_ptr_watch/watch5.png 60
32 0 0 left_ptr_watch/watch6.png 60
32 0 0 left_ptr_watch/watch7.png 60

32 0 0 left_ptr_watch/watch12.png 60
32 0 0 left_ptr_watch/watch13.png 60
I am very confused. I can provide any other information upon request.

SOLVED IT.
I named the animated cursor the same name as a folder in the source directory. I'm pretty retarded. Changing the folder name fixed it.

Space Before/After Not Refreshing in Paragraph Palette

Hi, I'm using Illustrator CS4 and am frustrated that in the paragraph palette, when I select text with specific settings for space before or space after, these values do not refresh to what is applied to the text. The values just remain at the last setting that I input or something. So I have no way of determining what the space before or space after is on different chunks of type. And if I try to adjust the settings up or down (using the arrows), it will jump to whatever setting is displayed (which is not what is actually applied to the type.
- Has anyone else ever experienced this behavior?
- Any workarounds?
- Any other ways to detect the actual values applied to the text?
THANKS! Very frustrating bug.

are you selecting the text Frame? if the palette shows the last used settings it means the whole textFrame has no custom spacing applied. If you see nothing, it means mixed settings.
you need to place the cursor inside a paragraph in order to be picked up by the palette.
