Rectangle expands from center (& breeds like a rabbit)

I know this problem has been discussed. I located a thread in January that recorded the bug but did not give an answer – just refered to earlier discussions.  Unfortunately, the "Search Forum" option can't even find the term "rectangle," so no luck there.  Please forgive if this is a re-post.
The players: Mac OSX 10.6.6, iMac 27" w/ 4 GB RAM, 2.8 GHz Intel Core i5 processor.
                   Adobe Illustrator 15.0.2 (though problem also occured in 15.0.0)
The problem: dragging the rectangle tool creates a rectangle that expands from the center from the initial mouseDown spot.  These rectangles seems to duplicate every time you drag one.
Attempted solutions: I tossed my AI prefs. No help.  I uninstalled and reinstalled AI.  No good.  I upgraded to AI 15.0.2.  No better.
Anyone know what's going on?  And why the forum search engine can't find earlier threads on this?
Thanks in advance.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Bridge auto expands from one monitor to two when accessing folders

    When I try to rename a folder Bridge auto expands from one monitor to two monitors and doesn't let me change the name. If I try to delete a photo it auto expands, lets me delete the photo but remains expanded across two monitors. This is a new experience I have had Bridge CC for about a year and this activity started on Friday. How do I prevent Bridge from automatically expanding across the two monitors?

    A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
    etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

  • My InD docs auto-expand from the dock - how can i stop it?

    why do my InD docs auto-expand from the dock when i close an active InD doc or make InD the active app (tabbing through dock apps) — and more importantly, how can i make it stop. its driving me crazy.

    that's not really the problem.
    clearly few others have encountered this.
    1. i open an InD document and make edits.
    2. i get an email from a client who'd like edits made in an illustrator file.
    3. i place the current InD document i've been working on, into the dock — I DO NOT CLOSE INDESIGN
    4. i tab thru my OPEN apps, and highlight illustrator; i open the Illus doc, make the edit, send the proof.
    5. i get a NEW request to make a flyer from scratch.
    6. i tabbed through my OPEN apps and select IND.
    7. i hit command-N, but before the "new document box can open" —
    7. the document i had originally worked on, and previously docked, automatically expands from the dock and becomes active. if i close this document, and there others i had previously worked and then placed in the dock, those expand as well. i have to deal with EVERY InD document (because they have not automatically expanded and become active) before i can create a new document.
    i have stopped docking my InDesign documents. i close them and re-open them as i need them. its not worth the trouble. but its supper annoying — especially if i'm working on several things at once, which is usually the case.

  • Sql function for trimming from center

    Hi Experts;
    Is there any function which can remove/trim from center like i have a number
    01-1552963-01 and i want to remove - from it.
    01155296301
    note that i dont want to use substr and concat ||

    An empty string is considered null in Oracle so that's the same as:
    SQL>  SELECT REGEXP_REPLACE('01-1552963-01','-')  Sample from dual;
    SAMPLE
    01155296301which, let's face it is pretty pointless when a regular REPLACE function will do the same.
    You should only really use the regular expression versions when you have a pattern that needs matching, not just a fixed set of characters.

    Because it says it's incompatible when it can't be, I got hope. I get error messages all the time with my iPod and iPhone that it cannot sync and that 'this device is not capapble of connecting to iTunes' stuff. I literally forget that happened, plug it in again and it works, I later realize that iTunes made a mistake, they do that.

    Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

  • Help for WindowedApplication resizing with the transition from center to foursquare?

    Any idea to resolve the WindowedApplication window to resize with the transition from center to foursquare?
    thanks a lot!
    David

    Use the Tween class to transition the window's current width and height properties to their final width and height. Register a function to receive one of the tween's "motionChange" event so you can reposition the window accordingly when its w and h are changed. You'll need to measure the window's bounds and position at each step to make sure it's not outside the screen bounds, or smaller/larger than allowed. How you resize the interior stage content is up to you...

    Glad it helped. Everyone has been bitten by this at one time or another. Fortunately you only get bit once
    Well if you haven't already read it two or three times the User manual is really very good. Apple really did a nice job with it. The on-line version is nice because it is searchable.
    After that the Apple Pro Training Series book Aperture 3 is very useful. Its basically split into three parts. The library, adjustments and sharing. In addition if you get all the way through it you can take the Certification test and become, well certified.
    Rwboyer who posts here on and off has a good site and a couple of ebooks that I found useful.
    good luck

    That would be great, you would open the door to professional video editing ipad 2. Is there an accepted camera list?.

  • Can Solaris 10 boot from USB devices like USB thumb?

    1. Any live CD build for Solaris 10? That's the one which can boot up from CD and run immediately.
    No installation requirement.
    2. Can Solaris 10 boot from USB devices like USB thumb?

    You can find "live" CD and DVD images at OpenSolaris site: www.genunix.org/distributions/belenix_site. This OSolaris version is booted from CD/DVD drive and can be permanently installed on HD drive. Moreover You can find at this site suitable script for USB thumb preparation. However You should remember that the number of read/writes on USB thumb is limited (ca 400 and slightly more in more expensive versions).
    Good luck.
