Strange display behaviour inputfields on screens

Hi,
I noticed strange behaviour with inputfields on screens. When a certain inputfield has a maximum length of 50 and a visible length of 50, it depends on the number of spaces whether the inputfield is fulled filled or not. When I have 50 characters, the inputfield is completely filled, but when a number of spaces is used the field is not filled completely although 50 characters are in there.
Any ideas how to solve this? Currently the users are confused as they think its possible to enter more data in the line but they cant as the maximum number of characters has been reached.
This behaviour is in 4.6B.
With regards,
Mike

Hello Mike,
It took a while to udnerstand your issue but I finally found two sap standard fields behaving both ways.
Case 1:
Transaction SE09 - Field user name - length 12 display length 12 - i tried putting 12 spaces or 12 lower case 'i' and it filled the entire vissible length.
Case 2:
Once you go inside the SE09 transaction , choose a request , in the properties tab you have this field 'Project' which is 20 char in length and vissible length also same.
I tried the same spaces and 'i's there and it only filled up to half of the vissible length.
I looked at the screen for both these elements I found some differences in the screen display attributes which you might like to give a try.
for user name : program RDDM0001 screen no : 220
for project : function group SCTSREQ screen 110
Hope this will fix your problem.

LR5.2 softproofing: strange display behaviour

since upgrading from 4.4 to 5.2 I've noticed a strange behaviour when using softproofing in the develop module.
Whenever I switch between rendering intents or different icc profiles, the screen display changes back and forth like 'relative --> no-SP --> perceptual' or 'xx-icc-profile --> no-SP --> yy-icc-profile'. This makes it nearly impossible to judge the differences between RI or icc profiles.
In LR4.4 the switch was seamless between rendering intents or icc profiles.
Not sure what might be the culprit here...

Hello
I have also witnessed a semi-transparent rectangle, but I think mine was turquoise. It shows up somewhere in the fourth quadrant of my display during bootup, after my machine had frozen, and I had done a hard shutdown. I started observing these freezes and graphical glitches after updating to 10.5.2.
I would also like to know what is going on.

Strange display problem band through screen -=Pictures included=-

I bought a refurb intel imac and had it delivered on May 30th. June 2nd, I brought the computer in to the apple store to repair the bleeding backlight on the LCD (corners were very bright); I just picked it up again on June 5th.
At first, I was very impressed with the turnaround time on the repair (3 days, 2 of which were weekend days). However, once I got the imac home & set up again, I was disappointed to see a thick discoloured bar down the entire vertical length of the screen!
The band is really strange; it changes colours depending on what colour is on top of it, and seems to flicker. I've determined that it only appears when the display is set on "millions of colours", not "thousands" or "256". I've also tried resetting the PRAM with no luck...
What are my options here? Is there an easy fix that I can try myself? Or is it more likely that the Apple store techs damaged something internally when they installed the new LCD? I really don't want to lug this computer back to the store, wait several more days, then lug it back home again. It's a huge inconvenience especially since the imac is all-in-one so I'm left using my old PC that was looking forward to a peaceful retirement...I just don't see any other choice...

Headless mini exhibiting strange display behaviour in VNC

Hi,
My mini has no monitor connected and I connect via VNC. The VNC services are provided by Apple Remote Desktop and I connect to the mini from my PowerBook with Chicken of the VNC, although the behaviour is the same no matter what VNC client I use.
When a VGA monitor is connected to the mini, even if the monitor is off, there are no problems. When I check the display preferences is shows the monitor that is attached.
When no monitor is connected I can connect to the mini and get the login screen, when I log in the display is then scrambled (like when the refresh rate is incorrect on a CRT), if I manage to log out from the session I see the login screen again without a problem.
The mini is running Tiger.
Has anyone had a similar problem, and are there any solutions?
Regards
Craig

That's what I had always believed. However my mini has been connected to a monitor to originally set it up, and to try and troubleshoot this problem.
When I boot it with the monitor attached I can change the resolutions but it doesn't seem to make any difference when I remove the monitor and go back to headless operation.
Do you think that by having a monitor connected previously it might cause this problem? It shouldn't in my opinion. In any case the way that you set up your mini would still have resulted in the copy of OSX using a monitor, even if it was the one from your other Mac.
Regardless, I had already decided that I will install OS X Server on the mini, so there is little point in me continuing to configure the current OS X installation. As soon as I have installed it I will post here again and let everyone know how it went! You will probably find that if I reinstalled OS X now it would solve the problem, but I'm sure there must be a way to resolve the problem without a reinstallation. This is after all a Macintosh!

Very strange display behaviour

We have a Java application which is working fine in at least
3 dozen windows machines (98/2000/XP). Today we installed it on
a particuklar machine (W2K) and all we could see was a blank frame.
When we dragged the frame, the components got painted. Every time
a dialog opens, the same happens. Nothing is painted until the frame
is dragged. There is nothing particular about the computer. It is your
regular pentium IV running W2K.
Anybody experienced this before??

Hi,
we seem to have a similar problem with repainting or refreshing a swing app. It runs fine on some machines and takes around 2 minutes(!) on other machines to refresh the main window after loading and working on some files. It doesn't matter on these machines wether you click or drag or resize the window, it just takes time to refresh. I have tried to add a bunch of invalidate() validate repaint, disabled the acceleration of the video cards, nothing... when I look at the task manager, the cpu does nothing during this 2 minutes.
I am pulling my hair out and hope that the customer I have to see tomorrow has a 'compatible' PC. I am more than open to any suggestions...

Strange font behaviour

Hi list,
recently I encountered strange behaviour of some fonts (type
1) in FreeHand (11.02, Mac 10.3.9)
Some characters don't display (neither on screen nor in
print). For instance, I can't type the euro sign in Scala. When I
use the same font in Indesign or Illustrator all is well.
Anybody ever had the same problem?
What can be done about it?
TIA
Willem van den Goorbergh

The Font Suitcase file contains bitmap (screen resolution) representations of all the associated varieties of that typeface, whereas the Postscript Outline files contain vector data, telling the printer how to output the characters.
Quark 6.5 can function with only the bitmap representations, as long as you don't try to print the file.
The bitmap is used to display the characters on screen (screen resolution is very low compared to print resolution). However, when you try to print to a Postscript printer (or make a PDF file), Quark sends the linked Postscript Outline vector data. This allows the output device to use the best possible resolution it can produce.
It seems that with Quark 7, they've decided to have the program detect the Outline fonts when a document is opened, rather than when you try to print - to prevent people from using typefaces then cannot use for output.
Postsript fonts are a real pain-in-the-neck, since it's easy to separate the Outline file from the suitcase file. The newer OpenType format looks like it could solve a lot of problems.

Strange JTable behaviour - everything is highlighted

Hello all,
im experiencing some strange JTable behaviour, and im not so sure why. When i run my program, the JTable appears, but all the cells are highlighted in advance. Also, i can now only select one cell at a time. I have set myTable.setSelectionModeListSelectionModel.SINGLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION); myTable.setCellSelectionEnabled(true);and my renderer code is below. I call the renderer by using the setDefaultRenderer method with(Object.class,myRenderer).
I have also changed isCellEditable to return true. If i dont use Object.class, and try to use my own custom class, the JTable is not all highlighted, but it doesnt seem to use myRenderer, and when i click on the header of Column A, all cells from column B and beyond become highlight, which is not normal behaviour. I thought the colum you selected should be highlighted.
Sorry for the long post, i hope the above makes sense...this is really quite bizzare, and im not so sure why this is happening. Thanks for any advice you can give, regards, Rupz

Hi VV!
thanks for the reply - now the table isnt all highlight when loaded, but as for cell celection..thats a different matter. I did have myTable.setCellSelectionEnabled(true); but no, the cell behaviour is really, eally weird, quite hard to explain, but here goes.
If i try to select cell D1 and D2 - D1 is selected, D2, E2,F2 and so on become selected. If i try to add D3 to the mix, the entire row 3 is selected, and as soon as i let go of the mouse button, the entire table except row 1 gets selected. really really weird. Below is my tableModel and what i do to the table. Thanks for your help,

Sourcing 7.0 - Strange Login Behaviour for enterprise user

Hello
We have installed SAP Sourcing 7.0 and created one tenant and after that everything was running fine. I have now created another tenant. After this there is a strange login behaviour for enterprise user
When I go to the ...../fsbuyer/portal URL, it given me a login screen. When I try to login with enterprise user and password as specified in the context, it does not let me login even with a correct password. The error is "User Authentication Failed"
I just happened to try NW CE Administrator Login, after this the error changed to "Entry does not exist". Here I gave enterprise user and password and it logged into the system. So I now have to login two times once with NW UME User and other with enterprise user to access the setup page.
However this is the problem only for enteprise user and not for other user accounts that I created. I checked in NW UME, the enterprise user does not exist there. However I can see that other users that I created using "Internal User Accounts" are also created in NW UME.
Anyone faced this behaviour earlier?
This also brings out a very interesting point. In Multi-Tenant Setup when using NW UME does this mean that two tenants cannot share the same user account. Is that so?
Regards,
Shubham

Hi Vikram,
Thanks a ton for your reponse.
I would like to understand your solution regarding creating another cluster.
Does this mean I need to install another CE Instance and install sourcing on the same.
OR
I have to create an Add-In instance for the current CE Server and define the Host Name of Add-In Instance in the new cluster
Also in this cluster, which context should I select, System Context or Existing Tenant Context or New Tenant Context.
Regards,
Shubham

Strange viewing behaviour on score page view on Logic 7.2.0 on MacBookPro

I recorded some sequences in Logic 7.2.0 on my MacBookPro and, seeing them in page view mode, I get a strange viewing behaviour: the staffs continue going straight on overshooting the "white delimited page zone". If I try to zoom out I can't obtain the "more pages view" option normally obtained.
If I reopen this song on the logic 7.2.0 situated in my G5 all is fine. Why?
Any idea?
Thanks

Guys, I think this problem has to do with the scale parameter of the instrument set being translated incorrectly on Intel/MPB (quite possibly affecting even the "ALL" instrument set, which has no adjustable parameters). Now, I don't have an Intel Mac or MBP, but based on my recent experiences in PPC and similar problems, plus what I've read here, I think I might be on to something...
I'm going to suggest that you guys who are having problems with staves going off the page to do the following test:
1) Open one of your problematic songs and view the score editor where the off-the-page staves are displayed
2) If you're using the "ALL" instrument set, read on. If not, go to #3 below.
ALL Instrument Set: if you're using this just to see a preliminary version of your score, close the score window, select ALL, and open the score editor. This forces the creation of a new instrument set. Do these staves go off the page? If not, you're good to go. But if they do go off the page...
a) go to your printer settings and make sure that you have valid settings there. This includes the printer type, page size, and scaling. If they're set to default values (like "most recent printer"), be sure to select an actual printer on your system.
b) open the Instrument Set parameters for the set that was created just before. Set the scale parameter to 200%, then make it 50%, then make it 100%. If my theory is correct, your music should now stay on the page.
3) If you're using a custom instrument set repeat steps a) and b) above. See if that clears up the problem.
I'd be curious to know if any of the above fixes the problem for you. Again, it's just a theory, but maybe it has legs...
Best,
-=iS=-

Strange graphic behaviour

Hi everybody,
on my MacBookPro Mid2010 I get a strange graphics behaviour:
The screen sometimes looks like this:

(This is not my own image, but my issue looks exactly the same!)
Has anyone ever seen this?
Does someone know, why it appears?
Or things I can do against it?

You can see this problem on my video : http://youtu.be/fvKaRJZlVco. With this problem Apple change my motherboard for free. I hope this video will help you.
The problem happens when your macbook pro 15 core i7 mid-2010 passes the intel graphics card to nvidia 330M graphics card with iPhoto for example.

Error Message is not displayed on the pop screen for chain end chain

Hi,
I have called a screen in one of the standard program using enhancmenets,
and i had put validations using chain and end chain, but the error message is not displayed immediately on the screen
but it is displaying as log , i want the error should come on the same screen and it should not allow till the correct values are entered , how to handle it
regards
afzal

Hi,
have you tried option "LIKE" with instruction MESSAGE.
Example:MESSAGE ID '38' TYPE 'S' NUMBER 000 DISPLAY LIKE 'E' WITH 'My Message'.
And instead of using a MESSAGE instruction, why to not use a popup ?
Like using one of these function modules (for instance):
TMS_BCU_POPUP_TO_CONFIRM
POPUP_TO_CONFIRM_STEP
POPUP_TO_DECIDE
FC_POPUP_ERR_WARN_MESSAGE
etc...
If that does not work, perhaps it's your ehancement which is not the good one or perhaps you have use a second one.

How can I set up Cinema Display as a main screen and leave my macbook pro as a second screen instead?

How can I set up Cinema Display as a main screen and leave my macbook pro as a second screen instead?

I learned that the Dock is positioned at the chosen edge of whatever Display is positioned farthest to that side. E.g. for the Dock to be positioned on the right side of the Cinema Display (instead of the right side of the MacBook), the Cinema Display must be oriented (by dragging) to the right of the MacBook monitor on the "Arrangement" tab of the Displays Preference Panel.

Error when displaying a field on Screen with Table Control

Hi,
It is going to 'Dump' when I am trying to display data on the screen with the help of Table Control. From the dump, What I have observed is , there is a field 'ZTSV_FSRDATA-ANZFEHLER'. If this field has negative value, then it is going to 'Dump' saying that the length is not enough. If it has a positive value then it is working fine. But the type of the field in the Internal table & on the screen are same.
Please help me to resolve this error.
I am posting here the Dump message also:
A conversion error occurred while the program was trying todisplay data on the screen.
The ABAP output field and the screen field may not have the same format.
Some field types require more characters on the screen thanin the ABAP program. For example, a date field on a screen needstwo characters more than it would in the program. When attempting to display the date on the screen, an error will occur that triggers the error message.
Thanks,
Sreenivas Reddy Maddi.
