Random zooming and scrolling

My system will randomly zoom and or scroll. This is not in Safari – it happens in Indesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and After Effects. Zooming seems totally unpredicatable. Scrolling – that is suddenly I'm being scrolled to somewhere way off to the side of my page, happens mostly when I'm dragging items around – usually when also holding shift or otherwise using smart guides for precise placement. Also often when I release them these items will suddenly jump to somewhere else. I use a Magic Mouse – Every single mouse click / scroll / zoom / swipe / click-somewhere-you-never-thought-of-on-the-mouse / swipe-with-11-fingers feature I can lay my hands on has been turned off. It's annoying, frustrating and really just downright crappy. I expect better from my Apple products. Does anyone have any suggestions / fixes ? (ideally not 'get a corded mouse' ). Thanks.

Try another Mouse, even a cheap USB mouse... as a test.

  • Link Zoom and Scroll Bar

    Hello
    I'm using Labview 8.0 an I have a small expirence with Labview
    I got 5 Waveformcharts with different ranges, is it possible to link the zoom an scroll bar function, so that i could zoom in one graph an the other will change dynamicly like in Diadem "dynamic Zoom" and is it
    possible to control the visible area of the 5 charts with one scroll bar?
    Thanks

    Hello Densel,
    I searched for an easy implementation with the help of a property node, what I found is attached in my VI. It is just a solution to change the axes properties of x and y for one chart, but it should also works with more charts.
    Check my result, hope it helps you!
    Günther.

  • Disable phone site zoom and scrolling?

    I am just trying to design a phone site.
    It seems to fit on my Samsung S4 in Chrome.
    But I can still zoom into the mobile site version and that makes it possible to scroll horizontally to the right (o the left is not possible)
    and then the positioned elemnts seem to slide and you can see the unaesthetic right endign of the page.
    I have no elements outside the mobile layout. Also tryied some HTML Codes on my phone Master Page, I found on the web.
    But nothig seems to help. If I cannot solve ths, a mobile site inMuse seems nothimg more than a bad joke!
    Can somenone help me please?

    Thanks, but I tried these codes before and none of them worked for me!
    I tried both codes on my master page, but it is still possible to zoom and then scroll to the right.
    And after zoomng back, my page image isn't at the same position as it was before!
    So if it is not possible to solve this, then mobile phone sites in muse is nothing more than a joke! (Sorry!)

  • Zoom and scroll act wierd

    Hi!
    I just recently came along a wierd bug in iPhoto '11. When I zoom in a picture and use the trackpad (MacBook Pro 13") to scroll the enlarged picture, the scroll kind of move random over the picture. I can't control it and can just sit and wait until it has stopped to proceed working. But not neccecarily in the correct place of the picture...
    Does anyone know if this can be fixed? Or do I need to wait for an upgrade of iPhoto? I have the latest installed.
    Jonas

    You're meant to use the wee navigation pane to scroll across the zoomed shot.

  • Zooming  and Scrolling issue

    Background:
    So I created spark Scroller this way:
    <s:Scroller id="continuousViewScroller"
    height="100%"
    width="100%"
    horizontalScrollPolicy="auto"
    verticalScrollPolicy="auto"
    visible.ContinuousView="true"
    visible="false">
    <s:Group id="continuousView"
    width="100%"
    height="100%" clipAndEnableScrolling="true">
    <s:layout>
    <s:VerticalLayout horizontalAlign="center"
      gap="10"
      paddingTop="10"
      paddingBottom="10"/>
    </s:layout>
    </s:Group>
    </s:Scroller>
    I add multiple <s:Group> objects to the "continousView" object. Each object is approximately of size 1500 X 1900 and I have around 700 of them. Each of this group object, I paint an image, whenever this group object comes within the viewport.
    var vLayout:VerticalLayout=continuousView.layout as VerticalLayout;
    vLayout.fractionOfElementInView(_index);
    I am facing a couple of problems:
    a) When I zoom in (Set all the object.scaleX=zoomValue, scaleY=zoomValue) and zoom out on the child objects. The scroller moves up and down. So the current page out of the  view. How can I prevent the scroll thumb to move, when I am adjusting the zoom?
    b) Secondly, this approach of loading 700 placeholders (s:Group object) is very slow. How can make it more fast and efficient?

    ItemRenderer with virtual layout works pretty well. My performance has improved significantly now. I can easily scroll pages in and out of view.
    Here is a trouble. I need to add few elements to each page. Like buttons and all. Sometimes, the ItemRenderer is not refreshed as soon as it comes into view. How can I force it load everything I want?
    Steps when the data property is set into the ItemRenderer:
    a) A bitmap image binary is converted to bitmap data. (I am caching all the bitmap binaries. But only convert to full blown BitmapData, when item renderer code is executed
    b) Add few controls to the renderer.
    c) Once the bitmap data is created. refreshPage method is called. Should I implement this inside overriden updateDisplayList method?
                private function refreshPage():void
                    drawImage();
                    addButtons();
                    addLayers();
                private function drawImage():void
                    pageCanvas.graphics.beginBitmapFill(_bitmapData, null, false, true);
                    pageCanvas.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, _bitmapData.width, _bitmapData.height);
                    pageCanvas.graphics.endFill();

  • Since updating to ios7 my ipad freezes, randomly zooms in and out, black pages that take forever to load and battery charge doesn't last very long. It's very frustrating, is there anything I can do

    Since updating to ios7 my ipad freezes, randomly zooms in and out, black pages that take forever to load and battery charge doesn't last very long. It's very frustrating, is there anything I can do it seems to have a mind of its own

    (A) Reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.
    (B) Reset all settings

  • Tabs for Point & Click, Scroll & Zoom, and More Gestures do not show.

    Hi all
    Had to reformat my drive and install a fresh copy of lion but I can not see the  tabs for Point & Click, Scroll & Zoom, and More Gestures in my preferences all I get is
    Anyone have any ideas ?

    Never mind. I found the answer. There is a selection in the Trackpad titled "When using gestures to scroll or navigate, move content in the direction of finger movement" that is what controls the setting.
    I actually found the answer after I posted the question. I tried all kinds of combinations in the new ask a question psuedo-search feature of the support site and nothing showed up. After you post, the site offers questions similiar to the one just posted. It was one of those that solved the problem. I guess I didn't get enough keywords correct for the right answer to show up. I just wish Apple would let you do a standard search instead of trying to be helpful. So far, I've not found any answers I was looking for with the new search tool. All answers have been found on different sites using Google. Grrrr. </rant>

  • Activing Mighty Mouse "Zoom using" and "Scrolling options" prefs

    According to:
    http://www.apple.com/mightymouse/software.html
    there should be "Zoom using scroll ball... " and "Scrolling options" popups in Mouse preferences, but I only see:
    I'm running 10.4.7 and ran the Mouse software installer. How do I get these additional options to appear?
    PowerBook G4/1.67 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   7200rpm 100 GB HD, 2 GB RAM

    The 10.4.8 update adds the scroll-wheel zooming
    feature for all mice.
    Really? It hadn't done so on my Mac. I ran the usual privileges, etc., routines beforehand. I can't even recall it being mentioned in the release notes or their detailed specs. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304200
    Anway, 10.4.8 didn't affect a change to the keyboard/mouse pref on my PPC so I used Pacifist to get at the additional MM features.

  • Magic Mouse - random zooming

    Does anyone have a random zooming in and out on the Magic Mouse? Not as in the Control+Scroll zoom, but like if you pinch and drag on something.
    Occasionally my mouse decides to do this, which a)would be great if I could actually pinch and zoom and b) is really distracting when it happens by itself.
    Any ideas?

    Magic mouse activates the 'scroll wheel zoom' when you touch the mouse almost anywhere. I found it too annoying. Apple needs to update the software to recognize scrolling as a gesture. I hope Apple does an update, because right now I'm stuck with using a clunky but reliable Dell mouse, as my Mighty Mouse is also unreliable.

  • Zooming and Margins

    I recently bought the Sony PRS-950, mainly to use for reading and annotating academic papers, most of which come as PDFs, generated or scanned. So far, I've been very happy about it displays PDFs --- even on scanned PDFs, pages turn very quickly --- and the touch and stylus input are very convenient, but I've run into several issues:
    1) The "Margin Cut" display mode does not cut nearly as much as it should. It's hard to quantify, but even on PDFs that were not scanned (and thus have no noise to confuse the detection), it never seems to reduce the margin even by half.
    2) Many PDFs are not amenable to being reflowed, but, the way PRS-950 is shaped, should be very readable (at original text size or bigger) in Landscape mode. However, in the Landscape mode, the maximum zoom level the slider allows is too small, and I can't magnify the text to use the reader's full height (i.e. width when turned sideways). In fact, even at maximum zoom, the gray "empty space" beyond the edges of the sheet shows.
    3) The annotation feature works very well, but it's a little annoying that magnification has to be turned off when annotating. I can understand why that needs to be done when the text had been reflowed (i.e. is shown in size other than S), but while I wouldn't presume to know how hard it would be to program, can't the pen input be "mapped" back to the original coordinates for simple zoom?
    4) A minor UI annoyance I've noticed is that when the Options button menu appears, the Orientation button is always at the bottom, which means that to reach it in Landscape mode takes several taps, even though it's one of the most frequently used choices.
    I think that this is a good device, and I will probably keep it, but in light of these issues, I would hesitate recommending it to others, especially if they don't have my relatively young eyes. Are there workarounds known for any of these? Is it likely that they might be resolved in firmware upgrades in the near future?

    > For the margin cut, try this.
    >
    > In Zoom-in mode, tap the column twice. It magically removes all margins.
    Thank you for the workaround. It looks like it even works in the two-column mode, although not for scanned documents, which is understandable. I've also found this workaround for overcoming the maximum zoom in Landscape mode: http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showth ... p?t=111786 , and they seem to work together, so that ameliorates the problem somewhat.
    However, when in the zoom-lock mode, paging through the document is very tedious: pressing or gesturing to continue reading makes the reader show the same area on the next page, rather than scrolling down, so in order to page through the document, I have to:
    1) Press (Zoom) Unlock.
    2) On the manual zoom screen, scroll down.
    3) Press Lock.
    and that's if I am still on the same page. If I am on the bottom of the page, I have to:
    1) Press the Next button (or gesture to turn the page).
    2) Press (Zoom) Unlock.
    3) On the manual zoom screen, scroll up several times.
    4) Press Lock.
    Ideally, the behavior should be something like this:
    1) In "Margin Cut" and "Original" Page Modes, the maximum zoom level in the Landscape mode should be at least enough that on a Letter-sized document with 1.25 inch margins (i.e. a 6 inch text column), the text should occupy the entire height (width in Landscape mode) of the device. This would let it be displayed in the size it would have had on paper. (A slightly higher maximum zoom level to display it slightly magnified would be nice.)
    2) In the zoom-lock mode, pressing or gesturing "Next" should scroll straight down and only go to the next page if the bottom of the page has been reached. (It would be nice to have it handle two-column and three-column scrolling as well.) This is particularly important for scanned documents. (A lot of old scientific papers are only available in that form.)
    Are we likely to see such a fix in a firmware update?

  • IPad mini randomly opens and closes apps, changes pages on book readers

    My iPad mini has gone crazy, it randomly opens and closes apps, plays games itself, changes pages whilst reading a book, starts flashing. Tried everything, rebooted the device, updated it always with the latest software update and have reset the iPad as a new IPad with no success. The problem still occurs which is really enjoying. I checked on the Internet and I'm not the only one with an iPad mini with this problem. The iPad is older than one year, what are my chances of resolving this and how?

    I have this problem with my PDFs too. I'm using a lot of PDFs from the German RPG "The Dark Eye" (Das schwarze Auge) from their the PDF shop "ulisses ebooks".
    However, i recognized that I don't get this random black boxes after a restart of the iPad Air for a long time. But when it starts it's become very frequently.
    To remove the black boxes for a single page i can close the book and reopen it or just mark text from the corrupted page. Zoom in removes the black boxes too, but if you zoom out there are visible again.
    I also recognzied that this must be a problem if the iPads PDF engine and not from iBooks. I got the same random black boxes in a PDF which I viewd in Safari.
    I think that changing the reader will only help if it has its own PDF Engine. Don't know if this possible in iOS.
    Perhaps it's some kind of memory leak of the iOS PDF Engine, after this bug apperas only after some time of ussage.

  • Chrome zooms when scrolling

    Don't know if anyone else has this problem, but scrolling down pages in chrome results in random zooming unless I'm using the very tip of my finger. Is there a fix for this? 

    Thank you for the feedback. Unfortunately it didn't work. Anyone else have this problem?

  • How do I get my mouse to zoom when scrolling?

    I've set my mouse to zoom while scrolling in preferences but it doesn't work. Any fixes?

    Hi Mike
    Bit of a verbose answer but I have included a lot of useful information for you which as a newcommer to Macs you will find useful. Make a note of the webpages as you may need to refer to them in the future.
    To find any downloads normally if you look at the top of this screen you will see "Downloads" click on that and you will see all those available - but make sure you get the right ones for the Intel. If you click on the description it will take you to an information page for that particular download where you can also download the update.
    The Combo update is a complete overwrite of the system files if you want more details use the HELP in FINDER and enter "update" at the bottom of the page is a section called Support Articles look at the one called
    About the Mac OS X 10.4.8 Update (combo)
    When you use Software Update it updates using the Delta version i:e updates just the files changed from the previous release currently on your machine 10.4.6 to 10.4.7 etc. that is why you need to check again after Software Update completes to ensure you get a complete update with the latest apps etc
    Using the Combo ensures all files for the OS are updated and can therefore clear out little wrinkles that can appear from time to time as the machine is used
    Not all Firmware is updated by Software Update which is why you sometimes get a message saying you need a firmware update even though you have just used Software Update. They need to be checked separately see
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303880 Intel Macs
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117 older Macs and which do not support OS 10.3 or 10.4
    Before doing any updates to any machine there are steps everyone should take and MHunter has done an excellent job in preparing this post
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=668278&tstart=15
    If you are using Safari - open Preferences and in "General"
    "Save downloaded files to:" "Desktop"
    Uncheck "Open safe files after downloading"
    Close preferences
    When download finishes open the image (double click) and follow the instructions it will install the system files.
    Just leave it to do its job

  • "Zoom using scroll wheel while holding" is broken

    Hello,
    Since updating to Mac OS X 10.7 Lion this morning, the "Zoom using scroll wheel while holding" feature is broken.
    In the mouse control panel the checkbox for "Zoom using scroll wheel while holding" is definitely checked. The default Control ^ key is selected. I verified I'm hitting the correct key on the keyboard using the keyboard viewer.
    I've tried using this with 2 finger scrolling on my trackpack as well. I've also tried turning off most of the trackpack geustures.
    I tried searching these forums prior to posting and found replies telling people with various different situations to turn this feature off. I want it on. I use it constantly.
    I have a MacBook Pro Aluminum 13-Inch Mid 2010
    Processor  2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory  4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7 (11A511)
    Any advise would be appreciated!
    Thanks.

    Hello. Original poster here. I can confirm a few things after observing for a few days and trying stuff.
    1) The Universal access fixes did nothing. I set & reset those settings til I was blue in the face.
    2) I tried a "Repair Permissions" with the Disk Utility. No luck.
    3) It works intermitently. After sleeping sometimes it works. After plugging into my external monitor sometimes it works on the external monitor but then if I unplug it won't work again. After a reboot somtimes it works, then after sleeping stops working. Kinda strange. When it works it works from both my external USB mouse and the trackpad, so I don't think it's the hardware.
    I don't have Time Machine configured - been using Carbonite, but they're not compatible with Lion so might have to get Time Machine running anyway - but it's not a fix per se, since this oughta work all the time.

  • Ken Burns default is "Zoom In" so why does it randomly "Zoom Out?"

    I first noticed that the default zoom in was inexplicably and randomly reversing when I applied KB in one go to a bunch of selected stills.
    Thinking that applying it to multiple images at once may be the cause, I tested it on a series of single photos.
    The results were similar.
    Sometimes the first 3 or 4 would be OK and then random slides would start zooming out. Occasionally the zoom direction would reverse on alternate pictures.
    Just in case there was something peculiar about the different clips, I duplicated one several times but still got the random zoom when I applied KB.
    I use 2 ways of applying the KB effect to still images but they both give random zoom directions:-
    The first method is to select KB using the Crop tool in the Viewer.
    This image shows the correct default but the next 3 I selected were all reversed even though I did not touch the "Reverse" button at the top.
    The other method is to select KB in the Inspector.
    Could some of you try to replicate my random results by testing on at least 6 photos?
    More importantly, can you give a reason or suggest a cure (other than telling me to manually adjust each image).
