Strange – Bottom Part of Windows are Unclickable?

Hey guys, I signed up on this forum just to ask this question. I have been a Mac user since System 6, and have obviously had my fair share of problems, but 99% of the time I find a solution. Until this one...
After updating to Leopard a few days after it came out, I noticed that when I tried grabbing the window resizer on the bottom right of the Photoshop document I was working on I couldn't click it. I could't click the bottom window bezel area either.
Nor could I do it in the finder. It's as if theres a "deadspace" on the screen where I can't click anything dealing with the bottom part of a window, be it in ANY application.
If you were to split my screen down the middle and take the bottom 1/3rd of the left half you would have my "inactive" area. All other user interaction in this area works fine.
This seems petty, but try going a day without clicking that part of a window.
I'd love to not have to do a complete reinstall for something so small, but it's looking like my only option.
I hoped a .1 or .2 would have fixed it but it has not.
Any ideas?

Anyone? Anyone?... This issue is killing me.

  • HT4059 The last three books I have downloaded at the bottom of the page the bottom parts of y,g,and j are appearing at the top of the next page. Any help or suggestions  will be appreciated.

    This problem just started. On the last line of each page if the letters y,g,p or j appear in the line the bottom part of each of these letters appears at the top of the next page while being chopped off the actual line it should appear in.

    *Update*
    I thought I had found the offending 'app' namely "Songpop."
    I regularly use "Songpop" on my phone late at night via my wifi connection.
    All enteries on my phonebill are at midnight (even though I have a data allowance it was excluded from allowance). I switched 3G off on Friday, played "Songpop" at midnight and at the exact time I got a "Server Error" message.
    I posted a message on the "Songpop" support forum.At first they said this was a problem relating to my ISP.
    I have spoken to my ISP and asked if there are connection drops at the time I have been billed (ie to establish if my wifi dropped and 3G kicked in without my knowledge) and have been advised that there aren't any connection drops at that time.
    "Songpop" have now responded that "This is an issue to take up with Apple Support"  see: http://support.songpop.fm/songpop/topics/playing_songpop_on_phone_via_wifi_but_i ncurring_download_data_charges_for_3g_useage?utm_content=topic_link&utm_medium=e mail&utm_source=reply_notification

  • Bottom Part of Firefox window is showing while window is maximized.

    For some reason, whenever Firefox is maximized, part of the browser window is showing down at the bottom of the screen. I don't know why it is doing that. I tried disabling classic theme restorer and it didn't go away, I tried updating to the latest version of Firefox and it still didn't go away. I am using a laptop with a touch screen built in and I notice that whenever I scroll up along a page using the touch screen, it starts glitching where the window will repeatedly try to jolt downward and come up. I think that has something to do with why the bottom part keeps showing. Other than that, there isn't any other problem with it.

  • Preview prints lose the bottom part of the page

    Yesterday, after doing an update (which only updated iTunes, so it's probably not what caused the problem), I found that all print jobs from Preview (and a few other programs that I've tried) are missing roughly the bottom 1 cm of the page.  I've grovelled through all the settings and preferences that I can find, and I've made various other things change, but no matter what I do, nothing makes the bottom line of text appear on the paper.
    Preview shows all the text, including the bottom line, and when I use the "PDF" button to "Open PDF in Preview", it shows the page with the bottom text.  But when I print the page, the bottom line is blank.
    The printer is remote, controlled by CUPs on a machine down the hall.  When I scp a PDF file to the server and print it there, it prints fine, and the bottom lines are always included. Then when I go back to my Macbook Pro and print exactly the same PDF file on the same printer, the bottom line is again missing.  This shows that it's not a problem with the printer or the server's CUPS software; it's gotta be something on my Macbook Pro that changed.
    The usual disclaimer applies:  I haven't (knowingly ;-) changed any print-related setting recently.  (We've all heard that one before, right? ;-)  Since the problem appeared, I've of course changed lots and lots of settings, trying to find something that affects the problem.  But the most recent change before this problem appeared was a couple of months ago (when another upgrade broke all remote printing, and I had to delete all the printers and reinstall them). 
    A possible clue is that, when I use Safari to load a PDF from http://localhost/..., the page shows as usual, and I get the same drop-down from CMD-P that shows a preview that has the entire page.  But when I print it, the entire page is shifted vertically so that the top title line of text is missing - and the bottom line has only its upper half, with the bottom part of all the characters missing.  Again, the blank strip at the bottom is roughly 1 cm.  Actually, a quick check with a ruler says that it's 12 mm.  But I don't know how to use this info, or how to tell Safari to fix the missing title line.  The missing bottom half of the bottom line seems to say that it's not that the PDF has something wrong that suppresses the text entirely; it would seem to say that somebody is deciding to impose a 12-mm bottom border for some unknown reason.
    Any idea where I should look to fix this problem?  Is there a relevant troubleshooting guide somewhere that I should know about?
    (It sure would be nice to have a known way to say "Just print exactly what's on the Preview page; don't try to do anything clever with it." ;-)

    That doesn't sound quite right.  Tests on the server shows that the printer (HP L7680) can in fact print up to within 3 mm of its edges.  The test pages show this, and assorted tests with "real" PDF pages in the past have verified it.  It worked from my Macbook up to a few days ago, and tests from the server show that the printer hasn't lost the ability to print close to the edges.  In fact, my wife printed a page from her iMac a while ago, and it showed stuff (images and border lines) up to about 4 mm from the edges.  It's only from my Macbook Pro that suddenly the bottom 12 mm gets blanked out. 
    Actually, I did try a test from the server with the "borderless" setting.  The software enlarged the image to be bigger than the page, for some reason that I don't understand, but the result was that the printer printed right up to the very edge of the paper; there was ink visible on the edge of the sheet.    So the idea that the printer "can't" print close to the edge is wrong.  The printer doesn't have a problem here; it's being told by some software on my Macbook Pro to blank out the bottom edge. 
    I just tried another test of this:  I told Preview on the Macbook to print the page at "Scale: 120%  ", and checked "No automatic page scaling".  Preview showed the text going off the page at the top and right edge,  The ink stopped about 3 mm from the top and right edges.  But the bottom 12 mm, including the bottom line of text, was blanked out.  This, plus the tests on the server, shows that the printer can print up to 3 mm from the edge of an 8.5x11 inch page.  And earlier tests that produced the bottom line with only the top half of the characters shows that it isn't just dropping the bottom line; Something on the Macbook is explicitly blanking out the bottom 12 mm (but not doing the same on the top and right edges.
    And whatever is doing it doesn't happen on my wife's iMac; she can print close to the bottom edge.
    I'm now wondering if I should uninstall the printer on the Macbook, and see if I can reinstall it to match the iMac's settings.    But if the problem is something in the Macbooks system libraries that's forcing the 12-mm bottom margin, that probably won't work, either, and the "Letter" paper size settings presumably come from some library file, because it won't permit me to change those numbers.
    Anyway, I'll try your suggestions, probably in the morning, and see what happens.
    About the Borderless type:  I find that when I try setting the Paper Size to "US Letter", it gives me another menu, with "US Letter" and "Borderless 8.5 x 11 in." entries.  If I choose the Borderless, it pops up a window with a warning that this is only allowed for HP Premium Plus Photo Paper, which is in what it's set to.  It says it's "not available when Paper Type is set to Plain Paper", which it won't allow me to do.  (That choice is greyed out.)  It seems odd that it would warn me that it won't work for a setting that it won't let me use anyway, and say that I must use the setting that I am using.  Anyway, I've tried this "Borderless 8.1 x 11 in." setting, and it comes out the same as the "US Letter" choice, with the bottom 12 mm blank.  Both print to nearly the top and right edge if I set the Scale to 120%.
    (And that damned "Automatically rotate each page" is checked again. ;-)

  • Dreamweaver design view doesn't show the bottom part of a long div

    Hi!
    I'm doing a very graphics oriented site, which basically requires me to use a large jpg as a background image and placing text areas against this background     using absolute positioning.
    My problem is that Dreamweaver doesn't show me the bottom part of my content div's background, but renders it as black instead. This obviously makes placing the text areas correctly difficult, since I can't see them against the background.
    If I turn on Live view, then Dreamweaver shows the bottom part correctly. But in live view I can't use rulers and guides (or can I?).
    Is there any setting that I can change so that Dreamweaver is showing me the whole div bg in all situations? One possible cause of this problem might be also that I'm using overflow:scroll on my content. Could that be why Dreamweaver hides the bottom part and can I change that behaviour?
    Any ideas are welcome!

    If we can see the page in question we could probably do this a lot easier.  But all you need to do in your CSS for the background is:
    background: url(pathto/image.jpg) fixed no-repeat;
    If you are trying to absolutely position something in the middle you will be unable to do this without the assistance of javascript to determine the useable pixels on the end-users computer.  Horiztonally is not the issue, but rather vertically because you can achieve horizontal centering by defining a width and setting the margin: 0 auto; in your CSS.
    As far as working with overflows, if there is too much content in them that you believe the overflow will be necessary (assuming min/max-widths are set) you could consider including the content from another document or store it in a database and query the information out.  Then it would make it easier for the client to update the content on their own in the future.

  • Images at the bottom of the screen are cut off in HDR Pro

    I'm running a Mac and have recently installed CS5.  When I open files to do an HDR, the photos used in the HDR are cut off at the bottom of the screen.  In other words, what I mean is, they should be able to be selected with the check box is being included or not.  Also, the "OK" and "Cancel" buttons are cut off.  I thought that perhaps it was the screen resolution or perhaps the dockeed icons below.  Yet, I'm using the highest screen resolution and that's not a factor. I've hidden the dock,moved it...no difference. I've tried resizing the HDR window but it only resizes horizontally - not vertically.
    This is frustrating.  I'd like to be able to see the entire images being used in the HDR pro and decide whether to include them (or not) by the check boxes; especially since this is how it's supposed to work.  Any ideas?

    Hi Charles,
         Until just now...it didn't work.  Isn't that how it is...ya ask for an answer for something that's broke...then it works.
    When it wasn't working...the Green maximize button didn't do much except allow me to pull the window down further.  Once I would try to resize the window from the resize section at the bottom right, the window would resize to full size...not much good.
    Although...for whatever reason, it seems to be working now.  Will it work tomorrow?  beats me.
    Thanks for yoru help.

  • Certain pop up windows are not apperaing on my screen.  Save as PDF and Doc preferences never appear

    Certain pop up windows are not apperaing on my screen.  Save as PDF and Doc preferences never appear, and lock me out until I press return.  So they are active, I just can't see them.  Any ideas?

    They are obviously off the screen somewhere. Did you have a dual monitor set up at one time? You can try increasing the resolution of your screen to see if you can get a part to show or maybe just resrt the preferences (Cmd(Ctrl)+Opt(Alt)+Shift as you restart AI) to reset the defaults.

  • Bottom part of touch screen on 2nd gen isn't responsive

    I bought a used iPod Touch 2nd Gen MC model to find that the bottom part of the screen (maybe 1cm from bottom up) is completely unresponsive. The iPod itself is in great conditon, and it works completely otherwise. I took it too the Apple Store but the guy said it would cost £80 just to have a look at it (I don't know whether or not this guy was just saying that or not, he wasn't very nice). I have the option of sending it back to the seller but I got the actual iPod cheaply and I think I would be hard pressed to find a similar deal. I believe that it's out of warranty. I just want to know whats wrong with it, if i can get it fixed cheaply or whether I should send it back (I don't want to send it back so any other ways of fixing it would be great). I have also tried restoring it through iTunes.
    Thanks.

    I would send it back.  Aple ill probably fix it (really replace it with a refurbished one) for the price listed here:
    Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
    You can Google for local places to fix it.  I have US places but from the currency you used you are not in the US.  You can also Google repair parts to fix it yourself but you really do not know what is wrong.  It is likely the digitizer, but could be other parts too.

  • Bottom Part of 17" Trackpad not recognizing taps

    When I put my finger on the bottom part of the trackpad and drag horizontally, the pointer on the screen doesn't move. While keeping my finger on the trackpad and then if I drag it up on the trackpad, the pointer will start to move. If I were to start with my finger on the upper part of the trackpad and then drag it down to the area where the pointer wasn't moving, it will continue moving. This tells me that there is a software issue where the trackpad isn't registering an initiating tap on the bottom of the trackpad. I'm hoping there is a way to reset something that will make it work. Anyone else having this problem on the new 17" Unibody MacBook Pros?

    Hi Ayman,
    My 15" is exactly the same. I think the previous poster is correct. The trackpad is designed this way because many people like to rest their thumb on the bottom of it and not have the cursor effected. To my knowledge there is no way to change this behavior.

  • Bottom part of the itouch screen is not very responsive

    My itouch recently came in counter with some water, i managed to remove the water i think. ( i used the rice method). Now the only part that is giving me issues is the bottom part of the screen. Any tips on how to fix this? Also how much would apple charge me for a repair?

    basics from the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW.  Try each step in order until your problem is solved.  If not solved after ALL these steps have been tried, you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.

  • My picture files open up off center so I cannot see all of the bottom part of the picture.

    Hi,
    My picture files open up off center so I cannot see all of the bottom part of the picture. The ruler across the top read "0" to 13.5". Down the left side of the picture the ruler reads 3", 2",1", 0, 1", 2",3" etc. This leaves a three inch empty space at the top of my viewing area and I lose three inches of the bottom of my picture. I cannot figure out how to adjust this. I have tried the screen modes  and they do not fix my problem.  What can I do to solve this problem?

  • How do you change the background colour of the bottom part of calendar on iPhoto

    I have created a few calendars and photo books from iPhoto, but can't seem to find how to change the background colour of the bottom part of the calendar (where you write) to match the top part where you insert the photos.  Consequently you end up with a mismatch which doesn't look as good.  I can't believe that apple have not considered this since here are about 5 or 6 colours to choose from on the top section.  I am not running the latest version of iPhoto (which is 11 I think) as I'm not on Lion- is this significant??

    Some theme will let you change the color of both pages. The travel themes, Vintage, Seasons, Kids, Colored Paper, Modern Lines, Classic (only the border around the date area), With the Big Date theme you can change the background on both pages.
