Selection remains after deletion of text, unexpected text now selected

DW 13.2 build 6466
Mac OS X 10.9.3
Repro: Select characters or lines of text . Type of content (JS, CSS, HTML) is irrelevant. Delete the text.
Expected: text removed, without any text selected.
Actual: text removed, selection remains, but with new text selected (selection not removed).
Result: Unexpected text deleted (equal to the size of the selection).
Doesn't matter if I delete the text and then type a character, or just type a character to replace the selected text. I always lose the deleted part, and the character entry replaces the newly (mistakenly) selected text.
this is not the "my selected text got deleted" bug.
I've tried:
turning off voice/dication
rebooting
rebuilding site cache
removing user/configuration files
banging head on the table.
any suggestions are appreciated...
thanks,
Michael

Before a total reinstall using the cleaner tool: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
...it might be worth trying to restore preferences: Restore preferences | Dreamweaver CS4, CS5, CS5.5, CS6
That'll sometimes catch things the program cache/personal config folder clearing misses since it wipes any user-added extensions that might be causing a conflict somewhere.

Podcast headers remain after deleting usnig the swip method added in 2.2

I have a 2nd gen iPod Touch with firmware 2.2 and I am able to delete podcasts with the swip method and it says it deletes them and they are removed from the list.
The problem is that if I shut the touch off and turn it back on, all of the podcasts I deleted are back in the list. They are still deleted because if I try to open one I get an error. It is really annoying that they reappear in the list even though they are deleted. I have to use iTunes to completely remove them from the list.
Anyone else have this problem and is there a fix for it?
Thanks

That is strange and beyond me then. All I know is that after 2.2 arrived I stopped downloading podcasts on my computer and syncing to my Ipod and instead downloaded direct to my Touch via Wifi. At the time, I had some podcasts on my Touch that originated via a previous computer sync. It was these Podcasts that reappeared as what I called "phantom" podcasts after deleting directly on the Touch and powering down and then restarting.
As I said, they kept reappearing no matter how often I deleted, however after I removed them from my computer resident iTunes and then resync'd the Touch they stopped reappearing.
I also note that if you have any Wifi direct podcasts on your Touch and you sync it with iTunes, it will automatically transfer these podcasts to your computer resident iTunes and I found that these titles would also continue to reappear after being deleted on the Touch until again they were deleted from the computer resident iTunes and resync'd with Touch.
So, all I can say is since I have adopted this processure I have no more phantom podcast titles reappearing after powerdown.

Deleting listing in Messages log after deleting individual text

I'm using an iPhone 6 and iOS 8.0.2. Pretend a contact sends me a text at 6:02 and then again at 8:25. If I delete the individual message from 8:25, but keep the 6:02 message, why does the text stay listed in the messages log as 8:25, and not jump back down in the chronological order to 6:02? When I used IOS 7 on my iphone 5, it would jump back to the last chronological message for the Messages listings. Does this make sense? Help!!

hmm, there might be.
I wanted to deploy Updates next Tuesday to two sites (one local, another via WAN Link). I have a larger package with all the updates for Win 7, Office 2010 and 2013. I replicated that package to the remote site over the WAN Link and got a failure message
that the drives were full.
When I checked the remote DP, there were 15GB free on the main drive. We added another 100GB one and used the "Content Library Transfer Tool" (from the SCCM 2012 R2 Toolkit) to transfer the files. The tool crashed at the end (Stopped Working), but it looks
like it transferred everything. The only thing that wasn't changed was the Registry Entry for the LibraryContent, which I adjusted for the new Drive.
I deleted the SCCMContentLib, SMSPKG$ and SMSSIG$ from the older drive. All this was done with the network cable unplugged, as a condition for this was that there be no activity on the DP during this process.
I then created a test package with only 2 updates that I distributed to the remote site. This worked OK. I removed the content again and then proceeded with triggering the distribution of the big package (Win7&Office). I guess it could be that he is
deleting the former content ebfore distributing it again to the remote site?

All messages are gone after deleting some text messages iOS8

Hi guys!
I've got a quiet annoying issue. Don't know if that is the hardware or software problem. I've replaced my 6 plus because of camera problems, and after that each time I try to delete ANY message from message app, app just crushed, and each time you're opening it it shows you empty inbox plus "new iMessage" window. That's not the end. Closing the app doesn't solve the problem. All of contact are gone in the same time so iMessage, phone call stop working. The only solution is restart the phone. Open the message app, close it again and open. But all of deleted messages are restored...
Any ideas how to solve the problem?
Erase content and restore from backup doesn't work, plus new update has been released today - still the same problem.
Thanks for the answers!
Adam.

Hello Adam,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Given your previous troubleshooting, the next step for this issue is to reinstall iOS. If that doesn't work, then the next step is to restore to factory settings. To reinstall please follow the directions outlined below.
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
Use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
Have a good one,
Alex H.

I am unable to delete whole texts from left-swipe. i click delete and they dissappear. But then i can't send or recieve texts. i reboot phone and deleted message reappear. i've synced, backup, everything. Help!

I am unable to delete whole texts from left-swipe. i click delete and they dissappear. But then i can't send or recieve texts. i reboot phone and deleted message reappear, but i am able to continue send/recieving texts.. i've synced, backup, everything. Help! I am doing this beacuse in my space on my phone my doucments and data are taking up 9GB of space, and i don't know why other than in my phone it says messages are taking up 8GB or so. I am running ios 7.0. I have synced my phone with itunes, backed up, reboots after deleting the texts, they never vanish, i have even restored from itunes and restored from a backup that didn't include the texts after i deleted them.

actually better to reset your phone and reinstall the latest firmware again after that restore your back up it should be ok

When I delete a text message conversation, the Messaging app stops working.

I have tried to delete text threads, but whenever I do, I can no longer use the Message app. After deleting a text thread and exiting the app, if I try to go back into the app, it loads really slowly, and then all of my messages are gone. So then, it pops up to create a new message, so I will type in the person's name and then begin to type in the message, but it will not send. This happens with SMS text and iMessage text. I usually have to turn my phone off and on several times before it starts working again. Anyone else having this issue? Any ideas on what I can do?

Unfortuneately, no - it will only be deleted from your own device.

After you delete individual text messages, the trash can will disappear and you can only DELETE ALL or cancel! It will come back after awhile but you can't delete everything you want to in one shot!

AAfter you delete several individual text messages, your trash can will disappear, and then you'll only have the option to delete all or cancel

And the message remains after a hard reset?

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
Also consider deleting and reinstalling the Mail Account in question.

How can I keep my text format after pasting a text with a different format?

No matter when and where I start to write some text (whether it is a SImpleText, E-Mails, or anyother application's doc), if I have to cut and paste a text from a different source that is formatted differently than my original text (ie. the one I am already using ), once I have pasted the differently formatted text in my doc, the typeset changes while it continues to type with the same formatt used in the text I just pasted.
How can I continue typing with the same text formatt used before pasting the new text, after pasting the new text, without having to change size, font style etc. Is there a short cut?
What I have been doing to avoid this problem is: I usually type my entire text content (whether it is an E-Mail, or other doc) then, once I am done typing, I paste the text that was cut from a differently formatted document, so that my text remains with the same formatt in its integrity, while the pasted text stands out differently, but it is a bit complex doing that , because I not only have to remember to paste the other text when I am done typing (I run the risk of forgetting to paste the text I need to insert--which has happened already) or I keep struggling with my formatt change after the pasting of the new text, so my document text starts looking like the same text as the one which was just pasted.
Thanks for your time reading this!

(1) First, let's make sure we're talking about the same thing. By "SImpleText, E-Mails" you mean TextEdit and Mail, right?
(2) Some apps (TextEdit, Mail) use the text engine provided by Mac OS X. By and large, these apps will behave in a similar manner. Others (eg, MS Word) use their own text engine, and their behaviour can be quite different. For such an app you need to consult its manual.
(3) In TextEdit, if you want the pasted text to adopt the current style, then use kurt188's tip.
(4) However, if you may want the pasted text to retain its own attributes, while you continue to type in the previous style. I don't know of any shortcut or command that will achieve this. However, you can try to work around it.
(4.1) TextEdit has the Copy Style (⌘⌥C) and Paste Style (⌘⌥V) commands. If you haven't yet used it, ⌘⌥V will insert the default style. So type, paste, ⌘⌥V, then continue typing. If you have used, it will insert whatever style was copied. You can, type, ⌘V, click somewhere before the pasted text, ⌘⌥C, click after the pasted text, ⌘⌥V, and continue typing.
(4.2) Alternatively, type your text. Then type one more character, eg, "x". Then ←, ⌘V, ⇧→, and start typing. The new text should adopt "x"'s format. (This should work in Mail, too. I don't know, because IMHO e-mail should always be plain text.)

HT3529 New 7.0 version update changes the way text messages are presented. In the new version, I cannot figure out how to delete individual texts. I can delete entire strings of messages, but I want to delete old texts, but keep the recent texts

The new version of the software for my iPhone 4 changed the way text messages are managed.
I can no longer delete individual texts from a text "conversation." I also have not figured out how to forward texts, which I was able to do in the prior version.
Anyone know a way to edit out individual messages without losing the entire string?
Anyone know if there is a way to forward messages?

When you have the conversation open, if you tap & hold on a message bubble, you should get a new menu pop-up. It should have 2 options "Copy" and "More..." If you select the "More..." option it will then let you select one or more message bubbles and delete the selected ones by hitting the trach can icon in the lower left corner. As for forwarding, you probably just select the "Copy" option, then paste the contents into a new message...

I deleted a text message by mistake. How do I retrieve and restore the messages?

If you backed up after getting the message and before deleting it you can restore your phone and the message will be back. If not then it is gone forever.

To 5hownewsday. Have you tried deleting with Delete all prior, and deleting each one by itself. I could not delete some texts also. So I found that deleting each one, one at a time worked for me.

How to delete eMail attachments without deleting the text

Often people reply to eMails that I have sent and the resend all the attachments. So maybe I've sent 10 photos and this is 2mb in size. They reply - often more than once - and the attachments are all there!
With Eudora, I could simply go to the Eudora Folder and delete the attachments to save HD Space (hey, 2mb a few times per day for a few years is a lot of gb!)
How to do that in Mail - but without deleting the text of the message they sent?
Thanks for any reply here--

YES!! THANKS VERY MUCH! And now there must must must be a way to alter incoming eMail text and then save that without forwarding or whatever.
By the way - I have found my Mail INBOX for my POP and also for my MobileMe accounts (as well as the other mailboxes). In my Library/Mail folder. OK so my INBOX for my POP is 800mb in size. Let's imagine that I have 8000 messages and 200 of them have attachments that are 1 to 10mb in size. If I now select all the messages in the INBOX and delete the attachments, will I see that INBOX drop substantially in size? And those attachments are "glued" to each eMail, right? I can't see them other than opening each eMail and then if I want to save the attachment(s) somewhere, doing that manually, right?
Is there a way to have all attachments automatically saved in another folder? But then they likely are not linked to an eMail - so if I then delete the attachment that is linked to the eMail, the attachment I saved to another folder is there OK- but it is no longer associated with the eMail, so I might not know to what it is related at some future time.
There were some nice advantages to Eudora-- you could quickly scan your attachments in coverflow or other mode--
Mail's way has some advantages in that you always have the attachment linked AND you can save another copy easily.
Likely best to archive each 31 Dec and then have INBOX-2009-21-31 and next year INBOX-2010-12-31 -- I did that with Eudora and have every message received and sent (most with attachments - but that's a bit tricky) - since 5 March 1996. Handy that.
OK I'm rambling a bit but let me know if I have it right here.
And thanks!
