Suggest mouse pointer should be redrawn when popup dialogue shown

When browsing through photos in the library the mouse pointer is correct turned off to avoid masking the photo. Even returning to the gallery view (G) the mouse pointer is still turned off, which is fine. Moving the mouse bring the pointer back however if the mouse is not moved and then action taken to prompt a popup dialogue using the keyboard (say you tagged some photos as rejected and then ctrl+backspace) the mouse pointer is left turned off.
Still able to navigate popup dialogue via keyboard but suggest mouse pointer should be turned back on when popup dialogue appears..
Running Vista + LR3.3
Ta,
Chris

Chris,
Are you saying that when you bring up a dialogue box by using a keyboard shortcut, the mouse pointer stays hidden and doesn't reappear even when you move the mouse?
I can't reproduce that on Windows XP. The mouse pointer is hidden when the dialogue box comes up, but any movement of the mouse brings the pointer back.
Is your mouse driver up to date?

The mouse pointer does not appear when starting my TM2-2190sa

On startup the usual screen display appears giving Mail, Web and Music options but there are no icons at the foot of the screen and no mouse pointer to move to click on anything. It is configured to boot Windows 7 after waiting 15s but this is no longer happening.
Any ideas ?

Hi there
When you look at Edit > Preferences > Recording > Full Motion Recording do you have the mouse enabled there?
Cheers... Rick

JTree icons render as defaults when popup is shown

I'm having trouble with JTree. When I right click to show a popup, the JTree nodes are not renderered with the icons that I sent in my specialized renderer. Instead they have the default icons. When the popup disappears they revert back to my special icons. I have a specialized renderer, and editor attached to the tree. I have tried turning of the editor, but it still happens. Has anyone seen this before?
I looked in the DefaultTreeCellEditor, to see if where it was getting the icon, and I found determineOffset() method that calls getLeafIcon(), getOpenIcon(), and getClosedIcon() which are set to the defaults. My tree is more complex that leaf, open, closed icons. Some leaves have different icons depending on their type. I was wondering if somehow it was getting those icons from there.

Are your treeCellRenderer, treeCellEditor extends from the DefaultTreeCellRenderer / Editor ?
If yes, you can overwrite those methods.
There are also the UI manager can force the default icons used.

Mouse pointer is flickring when i am using FIREFOX 4 why ?????

me mouse pointer keeps on FLICKRING when i use FIREFOX 4. it doesn't flickr when i use google chrome or IE. why is it so?????
its really annoying me plzzz tell what to do.????? i closed firefox many times but still the same problem.

Same problem with my site. I'm mainly using Arial on my site too, but it effects other fonts too like Verdana. With long text block the placement goes all wrong, causing text to go on top of each other and text goes behind pictures.
Seems like this is caused by some particular graphics cards with some specific drivers.
My site did work ok with FF4, untill I updated my graphics card.
EDIT: Noticed that the problem only occurs when I use font sizes of 11 or bigger. Size 10 and smaller are all working ok.

Mouse Pointer Problem, Win 8 Pro on Windpad 110

Today for some reason the built in mouse pointer, as well as when my finger touches the screen, the response is as if I'm clicking and dragging like when holding the left mouse button down on a standard mouse. It's rather annoying.
It's like the click-lock setting in the mouse settings is on and I can't shut it off

I'm pretty sure this is the result of downloading Windows 8 updates. I've tried to do several system restores to points prior Christmas which was when the problem wasn't present. The sys restore continues to fail after rebooting the machine stating my virus protection is conflicting w/ the process, and suggesting I should perhaps turn it off. To no avail I keep getting the error message. I keep trying older points to restore from in hope it'll finally fix this squeaky little mouse

Changing mouse pointer using setCursor()

Hi- I've got a single threaded JFrame-based application in which I want to change the mouse pointer to indicate 'busy' when it's doing stuff eg. loading a file. So within my extended JFrame method for handling menu selections I've got:
public class Layout extends JFrame
    // For items in the main menu
    // (the sub-class contains either a JMenuItem or JCheckBoxMenuItem).
    abstract class MenuItem implements ActionListener
        abstract JMenuItem menuItemAbs(); // get the menu item component
        abstract void handlerAbs(); // perform the menu's action
        // Menu item has been selected.
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
            Cursor cursor = Layout.this.getCursor();
            Layout.this.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
            handlerAbs();
            Layout.this.setCursor(cursor);
        }But the mouse pointer doesn't always change. If handler() just does some processing without user interaction, the pointer does change. But in the case of loading a file, where first the user selects the file using a JFileChooser, it doesn't.
Is this because JFileChooser does its own setCursor()? But even if it does, presumably it does another setCursor() to restore my WAIT_CURSOR before it returns, so why don't I see the WAIT_CURSOR while the file is loading (which takes seconds)?
Cheers

Edited by: matth1j on Nov 12, 2008 2:15 AM

Ok, thanks - full demo program below.
When you hit the ok button (just 5 second sleep), the mouse pointer changes to 'busy'. It reverts to normal if you move the pointer off the frame, but goes back to 'busy' if you move it back onto the frame.
When you hit the bad button (brings up file chooser, then does 5 second sleep), the pointer changes to 'busy' while the pointer is over the frame, and reverts to normal when the pointer is moved off the frame. But if you select a file or cancel the file chooser and move the pointer back into the main frame before the 5 seconds is up, the pointer doesn't go back to 'busy' again. I would expect it to show 'busy' while over the frame until the 5 seconds is up.
Any ideas?

The mouse pointer disappears

Occasionally the mouse pointer disappears, most frequently when I use Safari. I only use the mouse pad on my Macbook Air. Has anyone encountered this problem?
Thank you in advance,

Ugh -- updated a computer at work to Firefox 4, now THAT computer is doing it, never having done it before.
It looks like this problem only happens with Windows 7.

You are not alone as I experience the same type of problem in addition to my insertion point jumping around and the zoom keeps changing, I am unable to write a message. Since Toshiba doesn't have a new synaptics driver for win 10 as of yet and the win 8.1 driver does not work, how in the world can I post anything? How long Toshiba takes to fix this is how long I revert a back to win 8.1. At least it was more stable. I had win 7 pre which came with laptop and although it didn't have the latest in feature, it still was great. At least I do have the disks to reinstall win 7 if need be. I wonder who else has these problems as well.

I would suggest a new feature:The possibilty to change the mouse pointer icon when you hover on an active link by any other one icon I select.

Current Firefox versions have a feature called tear-off tabs.<br />
You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.<br />
You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.

Is there a way to obtain the text item's value when the mouse pointer at?

Hi,
Is there a way to obtain the text item's value when the mouse pointer at? Mouse pointer may be located somewhere out of current record and even out of current block.

There is a when-mouse-over trigger and that works fine in client-server mode for Forms 5/6/6i, but that is less indicated when deployed using Application Server.
In that trigger you may write whatever code is necessary, restricted package procedures.
Still, I think, for your case, if you do not have to deal with a multi-record block, you should use the HINT property for that item and set_item_property with the HINT argument for that item in order to set the hint to the item's value - this should set_item_property should be called on the when-new-record-instance .

Flashing Mouse pointer when sharing desktop

I have a problem when sharing my desktop - The Flashing Mouse pointer makes me ill. It's like a seizure-inducing strobe and gives me instant nausea.
I read that this flashing is by design. If this is the case, can anyone suggest a workaround or an alternative version of Lync/OCS since I need to share my desktop as part of my job so this is a real problem for me.
Thanks
Tom

When others control your desktop, it is unavoidable to see the flashing mouse pointer.
If you just want to share specific programs, you can choose share program only.

Mouse Pointer shows "Edit Cursor" "|" where it should be a arrow (pointer)

I have noticed that at times the mouse pointer shows a Edit cursor when it should be
a standard mouse arrow.
This happens when a leave one application and navigate to another application.
I am able to use the "|" cursor to click, but it seems rather odd.
I would really like to know if someone else has noticed this?

Are you using Fast User Switching (FUS)? Are you running an application that keeps a window always on top?
I have encountered a reproducible problem which causes the mouse pointer to fail to revert to the default arrow. I do not know if it is a general OS X issue, or caused by this specific app only (I just reported the problem to the app vendor, will report back on the resolution).
In my case, if user "A" is running a program that has an "always on top" window, and that application has the "focus", and I then use FUS to switch to any other user, the mouse pointer for that user will "stick" in its most recent variation - be it a pointing finger (for a link), an edit cursor, a window resize cursor, etc. If you move from a link for example to a text box, the cursor will change to the new form, but it will not revert to the default arrow. To "solve" the problem, do this:
before using FUS to change to another user, click on another application (e.g. the Finder), so that the problem application does not have the "focus". Does any of this relate to your problem?

Mouse Pointer resizes when applying pointer style to all

When Captivate records my SW demo, it uses up to three different mouse pointer styles at different times (Haven't quite figured out what the protocol is). I really don't like this and would like only one style used (the hand). So when I right click on the hand pointer on a slide, and choose "Use the current mouse pointer for all slides," any pointer that was automatically changed to the hand pointer is much smaller (shrinked by 50%) and I still have to end up manually selecting the hand pointer for each one.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
Is there a way to select a default or standard pointer to be used at all times?
TIA,
Vicky

Here's the shortest code with the problem I could come up with.... You can run it if you create two different default paragraph styles: 'Product - Description' and 'Product - Title No Indent';
The problem is that the first line should have 'Product - Description' style, but it instead it gets 'Product - Title No Indent'.
If I comment out one of the paragraphs, everything works fine. What's wrong?
var doc = app.documents.add(),
    product, text_frame, i, l;
product = {
    'text': [
            'style': 'Product - Description',
            'text': 'Designed for monitoring sterilization processes.'
            'style': 'Product - Title No Indent',
            'text': 'Designed for monitoring sterilization processes.'
            'style': 'Product - Description',
            'text': 'Designed for monitoring sterilization processes.'
text_frame = doc.pages[0].textFrames.add();
text_frame.geometricBounds = [ '0pt', '0pt', '240pt', '300pt'];
for ( i = 0, l = product.text.length; i < l; i++ ) {
    text_frame.contents += "\r" + product.text[i].text;
    text_frame.parentStory.paragraphs[-1].appliedCharacterStyle = doc.characterStyles[0];
    text_frame.parentStory.paragraphs[-1].applyParagraphStyle(
        doc.paragraphStyles.item( product.text[i].style )

Trackpad keeps "bouncing" the mouse pointer when I tap to select (MacBook Pro, 15" Retina, 2014)

Hi, I got a brand new 15" MacBook Pro a week or so back and had problems with the trackpad - when I tap to select an item the mouse pointer "bounces" off the item I'm trying to select. It happens randomly - not every time. Very irritating. Supplier got me a replacement machine, and it's doing the same thing! Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I migrated all my data and settings from my old Mac Pro (2011 model, also running Mavericks) via Time Machine - could that have an impact? Not using any non-Apple power supplies or other devices. Any input would be welcomed.

Migrating user from one machine to another should not be a cause of your symptoms.
Curious two machines in a row. Did this happen before you transferred data/ or di you check.
You have 14 days to return/exchange if you are not satisfied.
You could Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379 but I don't see it.
Did you try making adjustments to trackpad settings
