Single click object selection painfully slow

Hi,
I don't have any particular speed issue with illustrator CS6 in general.
However there is a massive speed problem when I'm trying to select on object on the artboard with a single click.
Is anyone else having the same issue? Is it simply a setting that may be wrong somewhere for me?
When selecting a object by creating a "rectangle" over the object it works fine and normal speed.
When clicking the object to select it, nothing happens for about 3/4 seconds, then the loading little rainbow circle appears and loads for another 3/4 seconds...
I really don't understand what's happening.
If anyone could help me that would be greatly appreciated (it's driving me insane)...
Thanks

Nevermind...
Finally found the reason after hours searching on the Adobe forum or google, and battling with different settings in illustrator...
For those who may encounter the same issue, I'm running "RightZoom" on my Mac to fully maximize my windows.
For some reasons they don't seem to like each other! Well, Illustrator doesn't like RightZoom...
To fix the issue, simply open RightZoom and deactive it for the time you're using Illustrator CS6. Job done, working super fine
You can re-activate "RightZoom" whilst you're done with Illustrator.
Hope it can save someone the hassle I had!

Single Click Text Select

Hey all I have a Noneditable JTextArea and I want to make it so a line of text is selected with a single click instead of the double click it normally takes. Can this be done?

Doesn't a double-click normally select a single word, and a triple-click selects a whole line? (this is Windows behaviour, don't know if JTextArea is the same).
Regardless, I don't know of any methods you can call. You could scour the API. My solution would be to extend JTextArea, and override the mouseClicked() method. Have a look at the source code, and just change the number of clicks required.
Hope this helps,

JTable select row by double click, single click

Hi all,
I would like to double click on the row of the JTable and pop up a window for adding stuff, a single click for selecting the row and then in the menu bar I can choose to etither add, change or delete stuff. I try to use the ListSelectionModel but does not seems to distinguish between double or single click.
Any idea, doc, samples?
or I should not use ListselectionModel at all?
thanks
andrew

Hi. I used an inner class. By using MouseAdapter u dont have to implement all methods in the interface..
MouseListener mouseListener = new MouseAdapter()
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
if(SwingUtilities.isLeftMouseButton(e))// if left mouse button
if (e.getClickCount() == 2) // if doubleclick
//do something
U also need to add mouselistener to the table:
table.addMouseListener(mouseListener);
As I said, this is how I did it.. There are probably alot of ways to solve this, as usual :). Hope it helps

Spark List muiltiple select-Single Click

I have a list (tileLayout) with a custom item renderer. AllowMultipleSelection is set to true.
Is there a way for me to allow thr user to select more than one item without having to hold down CTRL? I'd like a single click to select/de-select the items.
Any Help appreciated

I haven't given it much thought, but you would probably have to do something involving a few things.
1. event.preventDefault on the List when something is clicked
2. Listen for clicks, get the clicked item, put in the selectedItems array of the list.
3. Check to see if item was already in selectedItems list, if so remove to deselect it
Like I said, I didn't give this much thought, especially on the event.preventDefault but that is where I would start. But there probably is a simpler solution out there.

Why am I sometimes sending duplicate emails and why when I sometimes single click an incoming messages to view it in the viewer window why does it open?

My computer got very touchy a few days ago as in the finder or in mail I would single click to select an item and it would open (rather than alloiwng me to just select it) or I would command select to select several items and they would open before I finished.
I did a complete reinstall and finder part of the problem is gone, but it still exists in Mail. Also before the reinstall just about every email I sent would duplicate-- not it only happens occaisionally.
Anyone got any ideas-- thank you

Hi, ybg, and welcome to the Community,
Your detailed report (thank you) indicates to me your account has been compromised a second time. Change your Skype account password immediately if you have not already done so, as well as that of any saved payment method on file. I would also run a maintenance cycle on your computer/laptop, ensuring all patches and updates are installed. Also run your preferred anti-virus/malware/spyware suite using the most recent virus signature files available.
You are right to contact Skype Customer Service to report this incident. I have read that people experience problems reaching them, however please do continue to do so, choosing a different path through the various steps than you used the first time; try also using a different web browser. I have also read that the instant message chat sessions with Customer Service agents appear as a pop-up dialogue box, which needs to be enabled or the connection to the agent will not process.
Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
As a general proactive precaution, I would recommend reviewing how you access the internet, particularly seeking any vulnerabilities or patterns common to the first incident and this one.

30EA1 /2.*: Double-clicking objects in the navigator tree

Hi,
There is an inconsistency in double-clicking objects in the navigator tree:
When Preferences - Database - ObjectViewer - Open Objects on Single Click is checked, double-clicking e.g. a table in the navigator will still open it the same way as single-clicking it.
However, when Preferences - Database - ObjectViewer - Open Objects on Single Click is not checked, double-clicking the table in the navigator will open it, and expand the columns. The latter is quite irritating, especially on large tables.
Can this be bugged, so double-clicking the table in the navigator will just open it?
Thanks,
K.

The node is expanded on double click irrespective of what the preferenceIs this a typo or does it really expand always for you? For me it only expands with "single click objects" disabled.
windows explorer also does the sameYes, and I'd even say that's the desired behaviour, especially since it's the only action taken.
Common sense and standards are against taking 2 different actions at the same time. One should override the other.
Ideally, double click with "single click objects" disabled would just open the object, and double click with "single click objects" enabled could expand the node as in the Windows Explorer (but doesn't have to).
So that's almost completely the other way around as we get it now.
Thanks,
K.

Single Click in Finder Opens Everything :(

We're having the oddest problem I've ever seen in 20+ years using macs.
This machine I'm on lately started acting funny. When I click in the finder on any document, a single click to select or highlight automatically opens the file, as if I double-clicked.
I can't select a file to change it's name, for example. I have to Get Info and change the name that way, becuase no matter what I do the files open with a single click/select.
I have altered the mouse settings in SP and it doesn't change the result. I also switched mouses to make sure it's not that.
I really don't want to re-install the system, but is that probably what needs to happen?
Has anybody ever heard of this and have any ideas?
Thanks much!

Hi BulaRae,
Have you tried creating a new account and see how your Finder works in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.)
Open System Preferences > Accounts > "+" make it an admin account.
If this works, then log back into your problem account and navigate to ~(yourHome)/Library/Preferences and trash these two files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Then log out and back in again. Or restart.
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)
Let us know.

Selection on single-click with custom TreeCellEditor

Hi,
In a JTree with a custom treecell editor (contains checkbox, label with icon) that overrides abstractcelleditor, selection of nodes does not highlight the selection on a single click. The selection is highlighted on a double click. clicking on the checkbox works fine. any ideas? the treecellrenderer works fine. So if i remove the custom editor and only have the renderer (for checkbox, label and icon) selections are highlighted properly.
Thanks!

Ok, came up with a solution - it makes keyboard navigation and mouse-based multiple selection work. Here's the fixed code:
creating the tree :
JTree tree = new JTree( root );
tree.setUI( new MyTreeUI() );
tree.setCellRenderer( new OverlayTreeCellRenderer() );
tree.setCellEditor( new OverlayTreeCellRenderer() );
tree.setEditable(true);
tree.getSelectionModel().setSelectionMode(TreeSelectionModel.DISCONTIGUOUS_TREE_SELECTION);
tree.setInvokesStopCellEditing( true );
scrollPane.setViewportView( tree );
add( scrollPane );the renderer / editor:

    protected Color selFG = UIManager.getColor( "Tree.selectionForeground" );
    protected Color selBG = UIManager.getColor( "Tree.selectionBackground" );
    protected Color txtFG = UIManager.getColor( "Tree.textForeground" );
    protected Color txtBG = UIManager.getColor( "Tree.textBackground" );
    protected JCheckBox visibleCheckBox = new JCheckBox();

That sounds horrible. There are a number of reasons it could occur.

Selecting a page with a single-click instead of double-click

Is there anyway to make InDesign CS5.5 move my file to the page I have selected in the pages panel without having to double-click the page in the pages panel?
I keep forgetting that the page selected in the panel may or may not be the page I'm currently editing & this is very frustrating.

Page that you're currently on is highlighted in reverse (black background white text)
If you're select a page in the pages panel it highlights blue to indicate it's selected. This allows you to move the page if you need to, or select over dozen other options for that page, numbering, sections, override, move, duplicate, apply master page to, delete, rotate view, colour label, page transiitions, hide master items and spread flattening!
You double click a page to move to that page. If it was only a single click then it would be quite frustrating to be hopping all over the document when all you want to do is renumber/resection/dupe or over a dozen different options mentioned above.
CTRL/CMD J will bring up the Go To Page dialog box.
Navigate with the page numbers as peter suggested.
There's a reason it works like that - because it works best.

In XP single-click mode, hovering overwrites filenames in select downl loc

My grandmother has arthritis, there's no way she can use double click mode. She gets pictures in the mail and she wants to save them to relevant folders. when she enters a subfolder with a bunch of other pictures, in just 1 second of not moving the mouse, the file name in the select download location window is overwritten because hovering for one second is treated like a single click. Is there any way around this problem?

"...Things are worse than that now... When you single click on a folder name in the folder list, the folder contents show in the right hand file window, as usual. But, when you use an arrow key to move to a folder name in the folder list, the folder
contents no longer show in the right hand file window...."
The option seems to be disabled. It is in Explorer>tools>folder options>navigation pane>"automatically expand to current folder" (win7 v6.1
Excluding this extremely useful feature really cripples Win7Explorer. I was spoiled by w9x and XP explorers. I am new to MS forums. Is there a moderated microsoft forum where this question can be posted, in the hope that a patch is produced?

Single click to show selected file in editor when in "edit view"?

Anyone know if there is an option to set single click to show selected file in editor when in "edit view"? Instead of having to double click?

I would also like to be able to "right-click > edit source file" in multi-track view WHEN A CLIP IS GROUPED.
Currently, when a clip is grouped with another clip, if you select a portion of that clip to edit, then right-click it, IT WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO "EDIT SOURCE FILE" until you have ungrouped then re-selected it, which is cumbersome.
Not only do you have to do that, but upon returning to MT VIEW you have to remember to re-group that clip with the other clips, not being able to right-click and edit the source file of grouped clips adds unnecassary trouble and confusion to the interface, and for what?

Apply multiple effects to multiple objects with single click box

I would like to click on a click box and have one object appear and another object disappear. I guess what I'd like to do is apply effects to multiple objects with a single click box. Is that possible?
Thank you.

Welcome to our community
Sure it can be done but you won't use effects to do it.
When you insert an object in Captivate, you have an option to enable or disable Visibility. You also have an option to name the object. So you would give the object a meaningful name and clear the Visibility option to "hide" it until needed.
Then you would create an Advanced Action that would hide some objects and show others.
After that, you would assign the Advanced Action to a Click Box or a Button or some other event.

Crashes consistently when control clicking a selected object

CS4 InDesign crashes consistently when control clicking a selected object. Preferences have been reloaded, the program has been reinstalled, all without any effect towards this issue. Any suggestions?

Yeah, it was InDesign Hangs when right clicking on graphic.
There was a lot of head-scratching and the rather unsatisfying conclusion was when the OP removed ancient applications that might have been a choice for "Edit Original," then the problem went away.
I guess the conclusion is that right-clicking on an image iterates over the possible apps that can open an image (for Edit With and Edit Original) and does [something], and for some reason that [something] was hanging. Not clear what the app was. But presumably if you right click the file in the Finder and look at the list provided by Open With, it is similar.
Or you could try the suggestions I offered to the OP in that thread that it looks like he never used.
