Strange keyboard bug?
Here's a humdinger for all you techies.
Lumia 820, all updated (black) and touchscreen is fine. I have recently found that my keyboard has become buggy.
If i choose store, then use search, the line containing the letters a,s,d,f,g,h,j,k,l all work fine but, if i press the search button at the bottom of the phone to activate bing, those letters will not work? If i connect to web pages then press the tab bar to search, they work??
I can't text properly, use facebook or twitter. Will do hard reset and get back with results unless someone has the answer.....
The bug was introduced with xkeyboard-config-chromebook...
pacman -S xkeyboard-config to restore the default package solve my problem (but i have lost my fn keys)

[SOLVED]Strange keyboard bug
Hi, I have an keyboard bug on my Chromebook ArchLinux.
The selection Shift + Left (or Right) works on Chromium/SublimeText but not on some programs like Gedit/QtCreator/CLion/Nautilus.
I'm using the Gnome3 environnement.

Strange keyboard issue on a Satellite P300
Hi,
Since a week i have a problem with my keyboard on my P300.
The keyboard doesn't work when the power supply is on. The keyboard is inactive on vista and in the BIOS.
When i cut the power and the PC is on battery the keyboard is OK.
Do you have any infomations about this problem ?
Thanks.
olivHi Oliv
Such issue is not known to me and I think it must be hardware related issue.
What you can do about it? Not much except to try with BIOS update but I dont think it will help.
Satellite P300 is not the newest notebook model. Since when you have noticed such strange keyboard behaviour?
To be honest I think you should contact Toshiba service in your country. Let them check keyboard and keyboard controller using diagnostic tools. They can tell you what the problem is and how to fix it. -
Nokia Asha 501 Factory reset and keyboard bug
When you do a factory reset and restore the phone to the last back up point, your app store and xpress browser stops working. I have tried accessing the internet via wifi and not the mobile internet.
You just do the factory reset and download an app or surf internet on xpress browser, it works perfectly fine. However once you do the restore it stops working. You can surf internet using Opera mini, that means wifi internet is working fine on the phone.
Error on app store: 'Downloading Failed'.
Error on xpress browser: 'can't load this page at the moment. Please try again later'.
Keyboard Bug:
when typing in portrait mode, keys on extreme right side (P,L,backspace and enter) are less resposive to touch. Same is the case of the keys on the extreme left side (Q,A,Caps and symbol). I have to keep on touching in order to make it work.
Nokia team, please find a solution to this asap. My phone is not even one month old. This is really diappointing.
Let me know if you need more details.About the backup and restore thing, i don't know why Nokia decides to cut out the good features. The backup and restore system in older S40/Asha phones worked better as users were allowed to select what is backuped. Backing up and restoring pre-installed apps always creates a problem.
I hope Nokia will update the backup application and include the option to select what is backuped. Until then the problem will remain. -

[2.1 RC] Keyboard bugs still there
Hi,
Unfortunately, the "dead key" keyboard bug that has been reported so many
times here, elsewhere and through bug reports sent to the Adobe technical
support is still there. We have never heard anyone from Adobe giving
feedback about these reports, so I guess they are unable to fix. But for
sure, they can't ignore it.
Reminder: http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b582d4/2
Also, the Alt-Tab bug is also still there. Reminder:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b6153a
I guess we'll have to wait until version LR 10 to get these bugs fixed.
PatrickRegarding Alt+Tab, for a long time I had seen it then not seen it the same session, but for a long time could not figure out why one minute it worked fine and the next it didn't. Eventually, I discovered that hitting Tab twice after launching Lightroom got its brain into gear. Thereafter Alt+Tab seemed to work correctly. I'll resubmit the info and hope for a fix.
As for your Dead key issue - no idea. -
I've got AA3 set up pretty much the way I want it, and I haven't added or modified any key bindings for some months.
But I wanted to add a shortcut for an effect I'm starting to use more often, and now I couldn't close the key binding form - I could only cancel my changes.
The key I originally wanted to bind was the H key. When I entered that into the key selection edit and tried to apply the change, I found I got a conflict error, with two other entries listed in the conflict box.
So without looking, I naturally manually searched all the bindings, but nowhere was the H key registered.
Then I looked at the conflict box more closely, and it seems that without any modification or warning, the Ctrl-W keybinding is all of a sudden being flagged as conflicting.
It hasn't been a conflict before now (or I would never have been able to close the dialog without the error blocking it, in which case any conflicts would have been reset to default, non-conflicting bindings).
So it's either an xml config corruption, or a bug in AA. Either way, it's not a big deal, but I'm quite surprised that in an otherwise stable configuration, a problem like this suddenly popped up from under the registry toadstool it was buried in.
It might have helped if I could manually modify (or even just verify) the key bindings outside of the application, but the keyboard binding/config mechanism AA uses is a real drawback when trying to sort out problems like this.
Unfortunately (for me), although I saved my 2-dozen or so keybindings under a separate entry in the dialog, and although the Ctrl-W key combination was one I didn't modify in that binding set, when I tried to restore my bindings AA crashed. The only workaround was to restart it, open the key dialog, and reset to factory defaults.
After only 12 minutes, I'm now back where I started from, and I can continue my edit. On the bright side, this is another instance of the fantastic Audition crash recovery mechanism restored all but the very latest 20 minutes of editing, so I've only lost 32 minutes' work. I'll take a win wherever I can.
I've taken some screendumps as I was going to report it as a bug, but the screendumps just look like I've made a mistake and the xml configs have all been reset. So this is just FYI now.Sad to say, but the previous fix (CS5) of manually editing the .kys file (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2984641#2984753) doesn't work anymore with Illustrator CS6. The problem is widespread, present with many non-US keyboard.
Anyone can help with a new idea? -
Strange keyboard behavior after OS 4.2.1 upgrade
When typing (at least, so far, in Safari) the keyboard will randomly (or so it seems) retract after typing a letter, instead of that letter being registered in the text box. It's necessary to re-locate the insertion point back in the text box to bring the keyboard back. And when I do, then the caps lock is on even though it wasn't before. This happens every few characters, but unpredictably.
I'm getting this too. Been looking all over the Internet to find other people with the same problem.
Its very annoying, and I'm not touching any other part of the screen - it does exactly what the OP describes, and it seems to do it all the time, when I'm typing. Only noticed it in safari because that is all I type in, and strangely enough it is not happening as I type this, and when it does happen i make sure the webpages are fully loaded. Very strange and very frustrating
I'm also finding that rss feeds aren't updating, but thats a different problem. -
Strange keyboard issues on Satellite M40
My Toshiba M40 has been giving me keyboard problems quite frequently. I get funny characters like NB¬A
when I press the left Shift key and then the keyboard starts behaving abnormally:
1. it shifts to caps mode -- to type lower letters, I have to actually use caps lock.
2. I can't use the shift key to type in the special characters above the numerals.
3. clicking on the menu bar gives me a different effect as if the shift key is already pressed while it is not.
4. pressing the right shift key takes me to the 'save' option.
5. I can't select one file or folder as several of them selected at one time.
And then I give up, shut down the computer (it doesnt restart at this time)
After some time, the computer starts normally but I am never sure when it will start misbehaving again.
I read about bios update, so got mine updated to the 1.7 version from toshiba website (this is the latest one they had for machines with ATI graphics).
sometimes, i use an external keyboard when the problem occurs repeatedly.
would appreciate advice on how to overcome this software / hardware problem.Hi Ashok,
It is not easy to say what is causing this strange behaviour, especially since it also occurs with an external keyboard. One clue is that the notebook will not restart after you shut it down unless you leave it for a short while. This would suggest that the unit is overheating and this may well be affecting the unit causing your problems.
I suggest you try giving the notebook a good clean to remove any build up of dust and debris from the CPU heatsink.
regards, -
Strange Display Bug - Photoshop CS5 64bit
I have an issue where a portion of my screen extending from the top left corner displays images in Photoshop just a little differently than the rest of the screen. You can see how it looks in these screenshots (I was a little surprised the screenshots captured the bug). These are screens of a photoshop document filled with one color, not the two shades it appears to be.
http://i.imgur.com/RzWei.png
http://imgur.com/NadQA
This bug doesn't appear except in Photoshop. As you can tell it's always the same part of the screen. Except somehow Photoshop briefly 'remembers' where the image bug is when I drag it around with the hand too. Eventually it goes back to the original spot or it will reset to there when I zoom or do something to the image. You can see in the screens how that works.
I have tried clearing out the settings files.
Reinstalling Photoshop.
Updated display drivers.
I connected to the monitor to another computer and ran Photoshop from that one (no bug).
I attached another monitor to this computer - no bug with that monitor. Strangely, it seemed to take a few minutes to reappear after I reattached my other monitor again. I thought it had gone away at first.
I've done some searching around the web and the forums but can't seem to find the right answers. It would be great is someone had some ideas on what's going on. This problem is driving me batty. Thanks much.
My screen is a Dell U2711.

Hm, seems to stop exactly halfway across, left to right, and in a 5:4 ratio.
Looks like a pretty big display... What's the pixel resolution of your monitor? Does it use a dual-link DVI connection?
Do you have any desktop management software active that does things like expand the desktop or provide multiple / virtual desktops? I'm trying to guess at whether something might be causing the system metrics to be reported wrongly.
Just on a hunch, try this: Choose Edit - Preferences - Performance, click the [Advanced Settings...] button, and change the OpenGL Mode to Basic.
If no change, does the problem go away if you uncheck [ ] Use OpenGL Drawing entirely?

Strange Indesign Bug -- I lost a weeks worth of files
Not sure what caused this. There's certainly nothing that can be done
about it. I neglected to repair my backup volume which failed a couple weeks ago and proceeded with an InDesign
large project and lost all my work.
When working on this doc, every several days I would edit the file name, adding something to the end of the file to let me know what work it contained. I began about Nov 6 and made my last edits on Nov 16, yesterday evening before going home. During the course of the day I noticed something very strange -- the file name had some jibberish in it enclosed in parens. I simply removed them and resaved.
When I came in this morning, there were NO files from Nov 7 on -- all of the edits I'd made to some 10 incrementally changing files were now gone.
I've since used a disk recoverey tool to no avail.
Obviously, I'm at fault for not using proper backup procedure -- but there's a pretty nasty bug here which bit me that is pretty frustrating. I'm on Snow Leopard. File was about 150 pages, quite a bit of imagery.
donSorry to go silent, but I was busy trying to salvage things.
First -- thanks for all the helpful replies, and also thanks for the wake-up calls as to my sloppy procedures. I've taken them to heart and just finished backup up my system. I had a functioning backup system that failed a few weeks ago and I let my workload keep me from attending to it.
As I stated earlier, I was using a backup method where in the same directory I was altering names every chapter. The day the system ate my collection of files I had encountered some sort of problem in the file names. I corrected the problem and went on.
When I first realized the data was lost I immediately checked my "dropbox" (an online program that lets me move with files between computers. I had taken the work home for the weekend, but deleted it monday morning from the dropbox because I hadn't actually done any work over the weekend. I worked all day monday and it was on tuesday thart my files were gone.
When I came in to work monday morning I noticed something interesting in my task bar at the top of the OS X screen. I saw a program that when highlighted said "backup successful". It seems I had installed the free version of Mozy a few months back and since it was only 2 gig of storage I pointed it as a test to my "Dropbox" and forgot about it.
Sure enough, it had dutifully copied friday evenings work out of the drop box to the Mozy servers.
So, despite all of the suggestions failing (booting without extensions, data salvage programs and so forth) I have no a file that represents only one days worth of data loss. And the edits I did monday were fairly minimal. Needless to say I've made multiple copies of it and I am now back on schedule to deliver my project ontime.
Thanks again for all the advice.

I have the Boxwave Keyboard Buddy Case and when I am in the Messages app, it seems to think the virtual keyboard is there, but really isn't.......I can't see the vKB....its just a blank space...this happens up to 5.1.1, but didn't happen before iOS 5.....if I start to scroll the mesages the all appear, but the little scroll bar on the right starts above where the vKB should be....this doesn't happen all the time....and it you scroll the missing keyboard away it goes back to normal and they start at the bottom. not top...but comes back after a while....normally when the spot to type is selected and it rotates to portrait, then back to landscape....and I send a message, the message I just sent goes to the top pushing all other messages out of view....thanks for your help...hope apple fixes it someday....not a big bug though...
Picture attached below:Hi Brian,
I have the exact same problem.
No bluetooth detection at all, between my iPad, my iPhone 3GS, my iPhone 4S, and all other bluetooth devices !!!!
Apple do something quickly to fix that please, any other people can confirm this major bug ??

Strange Keyboard behaviour with Pressure on Body
Any else experience this problem?
Basically when I am typing and I lean with my palms on the body of the macbook (not overly hard) the keyboard starts acting really strange. Keys I press won't work, and other keys will just randly start being hit. If I lift my hands off the body of the macbook all returns to normal. Seems like a short of some sort. Is this a common problem or just on my macbook?Has no one an idea?

Strange Swing bug in Oracle's JDK7
I have a strange bug with every java app i run with the Java 7 VM. Every frame is limited to a maximum width of 1024 pixels. Doesn't matter if you try to resize it by code or dragging the border with the mouse pointer.
I have a Macbook with Mac OSX 10.7.5 (1280x800 resolution).
If i try to run the apps with Apple's Java 6 VM all works as expected.
Here is a POC:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class JDK7Bug {
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setVisible(true);
frame.setSize(800, 400);
Thread.sleep(100);
System.out.println("frame.setSize(800, 400); " + frame.getSize());
frame.setSize(1100, 400);
Thread.sleep(100);
System.out.println("frame.setSize(1100, 400); " + frame.getSize());
frame.setSize(1000, 400);
Thread.sleep(100);
System.out.println("frame.setSize(1000, 400); "+frame.getSize());
System.out.println("ScreenSize: "+Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize());
It outputs:
frame.setSize(800, 400); java.awt.Dimension[width=800,height=400]
frame.setSize(1100, 400); java.awt.Dimension[width=1024,height=400]
frame.setSize(1000, 400); java.awt.Dimension[width=1000,height=400]
ScreenSize: java.awt.Dimension[width=1280,height=800]Try wrapping everything inside main in a SwingUtilities.invokeLater. You should not do any Swing stuff outside the EDT and you can remove the Thread.sleep.
I have tested on my Windows 8.1 with 7u45 and 7u60 and they both work
I get the following in std.out:
frame.setSize(800, 400); java.awt.Dimension[width=800,height=400]
frame.setSize(1100, 400); java.awt.Dimension[width=1100,height=400]
frame.setSize(1000, 400); java.awt.Dimension[width=1000,height=400]
ScreenSize: java.awt.Dimension[width=2560,height=1440] -
Strange, indefinable bug in InDesign CS2014
Can anybody tell me how to get rid of this strange bug?
It steals the focus, and then returns it. It causes all sorts of problems. Sometimes it bugs a lot/many times in short time, sometimes less.
The bug is only in InDesign. This started after I updated all software to current latest version:
OSX Mavericks 10.9.4
Adobe Creative Cloud 2014
InDesign 10.0.0.7 BuildThanks. I have already done that and no bug so far. Still not sure, because the bug is not always present.
Thank you for the tip! I´ll be talking to Extensis if there´s no bug during the day.
