Skype chat window suddenly turned portrait mode

I was chatting with my friend, and I tapped my trackpad a few times, then my chat window suddenly turned into a portrait-like mode. I'm not sure if this is a glitch, or if it's just a feature I don't know about. I can't figure out how to get it back to normal, and it's getting annoying. Can anyone help? I've added a screenshot in case you don't know what I'm talking about. The problem stays even after switching to full screen mode.

  • Skype Chat Window Lacks Border

    All other programs I have installed run with window borders just fine, except the Skype chat window. The contact list window also works fine, as do all other windows related to Skype, except for the chat. Any solutions?

    What WM/DE is this?  Window decorations are 100% the responsibility of the window manager - so tell us about which one you use, how you've configured it, etc.
    EDIT: and what does this mean

  • Chat window stuck in minimize mode

    I have a chat window that is stuck in minimize mode, unable to exit the window. Red window appears when receiving messages from buddy but cannot maximize the window. I have restarted my computer, force quit my iChat and every time I sign on that window is still minimized. Also I have tried deleting the buddy from my buddy list and adding them, that also did not work.

    Hi,
    Welcome to the    Discussions
    I am a little confused as to what you mean.
    An Invite window will resolve in to a Chat window.
    A Window that is open will show up the next time iChat is Opened in the place you left it.
    However I have not heard of a Invite window staying on Screen and not being able to Dismiss it.
    Now there are some things that might explain it.
    Any Outgoing Chat window will always occupy the space it was last in when you sent an Invite and had a chat.
    This can mean your Video Chat one appears near where your camera is so it appears you are looking at the camera.
    A Text chat one can be dragged so low that the Text field is off the bottom of the Screen.
    This can mean you cannot reach the bottom right hand corner to resize it.
    You may have dragged it so low that it is hidden by the DOCK and you cannot now grab the top bar and pull it out. (Leopard will not let you do this and if Dock Hiding was On will move it upwards if the DOCK Hiding is turned Off - I cannot check Snow Leopard at the moment but expect it is the same)
    If none of these covers what you have then delete com.apple.iChat.plist found in your Home Folder (Little House icon)/Library/Preferences and then restart iChat.
    Amongst other things it will return Windows to their Default positions.
    You will lose any settings made in the iChat Preferences that have been changed from Default (Font, Colour, Background to IM colour, Alert Sounds, Saved Transcripts etc.) and Saved Status Messages.

  • Skype chat window doesn't show text after a call

    After making a call with Skype, ANY chat window stops displaying text as you type in a message. Any ideas on how to fix this ? Skype 7.9 on MacOS Yosemite 10.10.3 Graeme 

    Please,  run the DirectX diagnostics tool (32-bit version).
    Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post.

  • Useless chat window in skype 6.18 with coloured b...

    WTH is this on new Skype with the chat window and coloured boxes you can only see about 3 posts at a time. How can I get the normal chat text back?
    and the supid profile picture in the chat window too. Oh this is too much now Skype is just getting ridiculous

    Thanks for the link to the earlier version of Skype, version 7.0 is just bl**dy awful. I simply do not understand MS, they seem to be hell bent on destroying Skype which, until MS took over, was a nice simple slick program to use. I think there may be a great many profssional users like me that want to throw up with all this 'social media' bulldust and what seems to be a 'dumbing down' of the application (this also applies to the latest incarnation of 'hotmail', yuck). Sometimes I feel that MS think all their users are morons that need their hands held all the time!!!
    Version 7 stuck pictures again my contacts list, at a stroke leaving only 30% of my contacts visible. Oh yes you can turn the pictures off (thank goodness) BUT the space the pictures took up remains so my list was STILL showing only 30% as many names as it did. Then there is the appalling colour scheme in the chat window. The pale shade of blue made it pretty near impossible to see the date stamp at the right!  MUCH happier with the older version 6 back in place, I still prefer version 5 but MS won't allow that to run
    Needless to say this time I have made certain that automatic updates are off!!

    Every time I start iTunes I get the message: "iTunes exec has been set to run in compatability mode for an older version of Windows. Turn off compatability mode for iTunes before you open it." How do I turn off the compatability mode? Particularly when I have to do it before I turn on iTunes.

  • TS3274 My Ipad display is stuck on portrait mode. I tried the toggle switch, turning off and restart and just now backed up into Itunes and restored and still is stuck on portrait mode and it won't flip to landscape mode. Is this a hardware problem?

    Has lock rotation been accidentally enabled within the control centre? If you swipe up the screen is there a circle with a lock symbol & if so is is greyed out or white - if white it is enabled.

  • Fixed layout ePub page turn not working in portrait mode

    Hello all,
    First time poster here. I created a childrens book, full color ePub from the Apple 3.1 ePub template. Everything sems to work great in general.  But I wanted the book to be in portrait mode only to get the most out of the graphics. I have the package.opf file set for portrait mode, which shows just one page (correctly), but when turning pages the cool page turn animation does not work when testing on my iPhone5 and an iPad2.  Pages just slide left or right.  But when I change the opf to allow landscape mode, when testing on iDevices, it shows two pages at a time in any mode and the page turn effect works perfectly.  Any way to get the page turn animation to work on just a single page in Portrait mode? To add to it I have an ePub example book from a non-Apple publisher that defaults to single page portrait, and is mostly text (so I'm not sure if its fixed layout or not), and the single page portrait mode allows the page turn animation to work perfectly.
    Thanks all!
    EDL

    The small caps are wrong in Source Sans Regular. This are not correct small caps . This seams to be missing in the font.
    But in italic style you will find correct small caps. They only work in InDesign not in ePub.
    And if you look in my images (first from InDesign, second from Radium - iBooks looks the same) you can see many difference between InDesign and ePub.
    Note the word "pfiffig", the I at the beginning of "Igor" in second paragraph and the "a" in the italic paragraph.
    This is very frustrating!

  • How can I save the window size so that when I restart Firefox the size of the window is appropriate for my portrait mode monitor?

    I have a 2 monitor setup with my second monitor in portrait mode. Whenever I start Firefox (on my 2nd screen where I always open it) I always have to resize the window so it goes down to show more info. I cannot figure out how to reset any type of default window size for the height and width parameters.

    Hi,
    From your post, I assume you are creating WebHelp output.
    You  need to create a window for the help in the Project Set-up pod. Then,  you need to make sure you call the output so that the window is used.  See http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/calling_webhelp/calling_webhelp.htm.  This article on Peter's site give you an overview over the  possibilities of calling context sensitivive webhelp and also tells you  how to specify the needed window. Also, the installation directory of  RoboHelp 8 contains a directory called CSH API. In there are example  API's your developer can use to call the help.

  • [Lollipop] Turning Auto-rotate off forces portrait mode

    In various situations, I like to use my tablet in landscape mode, but turn auto-rotate off (watching movies/streams while lying down).
    I do this using the pull-down quick menu. After the update to lollipop however, whenever I turn off "Auto-rotate", the button's name will switch to "Portrait" and my tablet (and app) will rotate into portrait mode, even if it was in landscape mode when I pressed the button. I reckon this is done with e-books in mind, but for my purposes this makes this feature useless.
    Is there any way to restore the original behaviour (tablet stays in the orientation it was in when you decide to turn off Auto-rotate)? If there is not currently, I urge you to change it back to the old way (other lollipop tablets seem to have the old behaviour still from what I could gather from friends).

    That's the way it's supposed to work 
    Well, that just sounds like an opinion. Do you have any source for that? As I said, my friends' other tablets behave differently.
    Is there anyone from Sony around who can shed some light on this or make inquiries? Or is this a users-help-users-only support forum?
    And @Johnny_dee, please don't hijack threads. The whole discussion now is about a whole other topic. Just open a new topic.

Follow method for clearing chat (Windows-C, Settings, Options, Clear History) Go back into Skype chat of same person as before Entire history is still there. Shut down PC and restart. Go into Skype. Open chat window for same user. Entire history is still there. Install Skype for Desktop Log on Go into settings, IM/SMS Set history to "do not save history" Clear history Log off Skype for Desktop Go back into Skype Windows 8 version History all still there. DO NOT KEEP TELLING US THIS SOLUTION - IT DOES NOT WORK. You demonstrate that you're more interested in getting points in here than actually testing the supposed solution you suggest.

  • [Android 4.3] Unlock screen orientation *always* turns to portrait mode - why?

    After booting the tablet, the unlock screen orientation is in landscape mode for some seconds but turns to portrait mode. And when screen turns off (or is turned off with the power button) the tablet wakes up in portrait mode - always. Very annoying, since I have to turn it 90°, enter my PIN, and turn it back again.
    Any help?

    So here is what I've found:
    - The installed lockscreen does support landscape mode. Since it is in landscape mode after booting the tablet for some seconds.
    - Some users report that editing build.prop and set 'lockscreen.rot_override = 1' should help. Didn't help in my case
    - Finally I bought a screen rotation lock app (Rotation Control). That did the trick.
