Symbol Properties panel not updating or refreshing

Y'all,
I'm running FW CS5 under Windows 7 Pro (64-bit), and my Symbol Properties panel has stopped updating when I select a symbol to modify. I have to close and re-open the Symbol Properties panel to force it to refresh.
If I have the panel open and select a symbol on the page, the panel remains blank.
If I have edited a symbol then deselected it, that symbol's properties remain visible in the Symbol Properties panel after the symbol is deselected.
If I have edited a symbol then select another symbol, the first symbol's properties remain visible in the panel and it does not update to show the properties of the newly selected symbol.
In all cases I must close and re-open the Symbol properties panel to force it to refresh and update.
I've also noticed two other peculiar refresh problems lately - when the rulers are visible and I either zoom in / zoom out on the document or change the application window size, the top ruler often vanishes. I have to minimize then maximize the Fireworks application window to force a refresh and get the rulers to re-appear.
Finally, the little document info boxes at the lower right corner of the canvas showing document size and zoom level often go blank or vanish when I either zoom in / zoom out on the document or change the application window size. I have to minimize then maximize the Fireworks application window to force a refresh and get the info boxes to re-appear.
It seems that the problem may be related to some larger Fireworks screen refresh problem. It did not behave this way when first installed - it began happening recently, and the only thing that has changed was a minor update to all of the CS5 design tools (including FW) about the way that image metadata is handled.
Is anyone else experiencing odd refresh errors? Is it possible that an extension could cause this?
Any help and advice would be appreciated, because it has become really cumbersome to use component symbols.
Thanks,
Dave

After digging around and looking at what has been updated or installed on my computer since these weird refresh problems began, I may have identified a possible cause.
Adobe installs the Java runtime with the Creative Suite (I'm not sure why, but it's there), and a few weeks ago the 1.6.20 update installed itself, but it failed multiple times before installing, then Windows 7 informed me that a component was improperly installed with the incorrect privileges. Last night the 1.6.21 update installed itself without any errors, and this morning Fireworks seems to be working normally again.
I'll keep monitoring FW for weird refresh problems, and if they return I'll post an update. It is possible that the 1.6.20 update broke something that was fixed by the 1.6.21 update.
Can anyone tell me why the CS programs require Java and what it is used for?
Thanks,
Dave

  • Xcesius properties panel not visible

    Hi Experts,
    I have a very basic question. I have been working on Xcelsius for quite some time and I have suddenly noticed that the properties panel in my xcelsius has disappeared. I have not made any upgrades.
    In the 'View' menu, I have the option 'Properties' checked. Is there anything else that I need to take care of.
    Thanks,
    Sreeni

    Check the size of the Properties window , I think u might reduse the size of the Properties window.

  • CS4 properties panel not completely visible

    The dreamweaver CS4 properties panel is not completely
    visible, some parts of it don't show up completely. In vista I have
    my fonts set at 110%, 106 dpi. When I change them back to 100%
    96dpi, it becomes visible.
    I'm just curious why doesn't dreamweaver CS4 scale to larger
    fonts, just like other applications? Is there some way to fix this?
    I'd prefer to use larger system fonts, since their easier on the
    eyes.

    Unfortunately Adobe is notorious for not following Windows
    standard APIs. It
    is unlikely they will fix the issue anytime soon.

  • Properties panel not  "sticking" CS4

    Somehow my property panel is "loose" and not sticking to the bottom. Here's a screenshot if that helps. How do I get it back in place so it's not floating and it stretches across the bottom of the working area automatically? Thanks so much in advance!

    I've had this problem, too—with the Properties panel, the Tools, or the Document window. Once they get moved by hand, they never seem to coordinate with the other panels properly.
    My only solution has been to reselect a default Workspace (from the upper-right of the screen, or at the bottom of the Windows menu), which resets the panels.

  • CS4- properties panel not displayed correctly

    I just installed Dreamweaver v10.  The properties panel information is being clipped. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Good evening,
    make sure your dpi is set to default 96 dpi, I had this problem because working with a small screen and old eyes, I adjusted my font size, had to set back to default 96dpi, hope this helps

  • SceneBuilder 2.0 does not update when refreshing CSS

    Hello,
    when I edit my CSS-Files then the SceneBuilder 2.0 does not update the new content. I have to reopen the Builder to see my new changes. Furthermore the SceneBuilder-Preview (Strg+P) shows diffrent styled controls then the normal SceneBuilder-View. It seems that the css files does not affect the application in the PreviewPage- Thats very frustrating and ist wasting a lot of my time.
    In SceneBuilder 1.1 it works fine. But I need the 2.0 version because of JavaFX8. Is there any solution? Maybe a workaround?
    Pls look at this:

    CSS file watching has not been re-established in Scene Builder 2.0 yet : this will come soon.
    The preview issue is a different one : as suggested by David, please file a bug.
    Keep in mind that Scene Builder 2.0 is on-going work...
    and Scene Builder 1.1 is the production version.

  • Report Map Section not updating after refresh

    Hi
    I have created a section in my report based on employee.  After executing the report for the first time the report map shows the section and each employee for which a section has been created.
    The is really useful as you can use the report map to navigate directly to info for a specific employee.
    When I refresh the query and select a different cost center a new list of employees is presented in the report, however the report map is not refreshed to relect this new list of employees.
    Is there a separate step to get the report map to update the sections for the changed variable selection?  (In this case I selected a different cost center and as a result got a new list of employees)
    Thanks
    Ian

    A few things I would suggest you do to determine where the problem lies.
    1) Create an Essbase pull sheet in Excel that mimics the form and verify you see the data in Essbase -- you should see it just after your form is saved.
    2) Compare the dimensions on your report with those on the Form. I would guess your report has an upper level member that is not dynamically calculated -- if this is true then if you really want the report to show the exact data as the form then update the report appropriately.
    Good Luck,
    -John

  • LogonLabels.properties changes not updated in 7.3

    Helllo Experts,
    I have modified the logonLabels.properties to change the COPY_RIGHT label from tcsecumelogonui_core.jar and updated the EAR. Once deployed I cannot see the changes to labels in the log page. I am on EP 7.3 SPS3.  When I extract the deployed jar file from the file system the changes are visible. I have also specified this in the build path.
    Any suggestions why the change is not reflected?
    Thanks,
    Rao

    Hi Rao,
    I am using 7.3 SP8 and I have the same problem my logon EAR is with the my version of the tc~sec~ume~logon~ui.war that contains my logonLabels_XX.properties, but it is reading only form the standard. I tried copy my tc~sec~ume~logon~ui_core.jar to WebContent\WEB-INF, and WebContent, and WebContent\WEB-INF\lib. However, it is not working...
    Could you help me?
    Regards, Cleiton.

  • Help Desk Tickets not updating when Refreshing (7.4.00070)

    I usually create tickets right from the Help Desk (Open Tickets) screen, and lately I've been noticing that sometimes when I create a ticket, (and assign it to myself) it won't show up in the queue until I navigate off of the page and then back. (Like clicking Dashboard, and then back to Tickets). Clicking the [Refresh Tickets] button doesn't seem to work. I'm not sure if it's a bug, or a performance issue (but my VM running Spiceworks seems to be happily chugging along.)
    Client: Win 7 x64 Pro, connecting via Comodo Dragon (V43.3something)
    Server: Server 2012R2 (Virtual Machine- 6 cores, 8GB of RAM) running Spiceworks as a service
    Network: Under 250 devices, Gigabit connections to/from server, less than 500 tickets.
    This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

    I have just tried to install that update but again it tells me "The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact software manufacturer for assistance"
    Is there some way of finding what is wrong?
    I really have been trying to update for months now.
    Thanks

  • Configurator 4 panel not updating in CC.

    Something is screwed up in the way CSCC handles Configurator panels.
    Converted a panel made for CS6 using Configurator4. Got it loaded into CC. It was not quite right so I made some minor changes. The changes never showed up in CC. Deleted the original folder under Panels, changed the name of the panel and reinstalled. Whoa! The original deleted panel was the only one that showed up under Extensions not the new one. This in spite of the fact that that folder no longer existied.
    I have tried all sorts of maneauvers but the fact is that the original panel is the only one that PS recognizes even though it does not exist on the drive. It is locked into PS and nothing I have done will change it. The original panel was named 'Universal', the new one 'UniversalCC'. The Universal folder has been deleted under Panels and replaced by UniversalCC. It shows up in CC as Universal (which does not exist) and not UniversalCC.

    This is the first time I have tried to use that process. I have the latest Java installed and I created a certificate. I tried the process a couple of times with the same results. Cannot kill the program from task manager or kill the process. Machine is locked and requires a reboot.
    I have the certificate on my desktop and have since updated Java since the last try. Should I delete the certificate and try again. It is such a pain.

  • ITunes has lock symbol; iPod will not update songs from library

    My iTunes has a lock symbol next to remaining space area. Also, the remaining space says that there is 1.4GB of spaced used up even though there are no songs in the iPod folder or on the iPod itself. I have tried resetting the ipod and tried to copy and paste the songs over to the ipod folder with no luck. It says "updating files" for a split second but stops and nothing is actually moved over.
    Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    You have the iPod set to transfer songs automatically. That is why the padlock icon appears at the bottom of iTunes next to the space used/available.
    If you want the songs to be bold and selectable/editable, then you need to change to manage the content manually.
    You could restore the iPod to be sure the hard drive is completely erased.
    See: How to restore the iPod to factory settings.

  • SVN properties tabs not updated

    Hello,
    I am using SQL Developer version 3.2.20.09 with SVN version 1.6.20.
    In SQL Developer I have two plsql modules opened, each in its own tab. I want to view the svn properties of the modules. After selecting Versioning>View subversion properties in the edit window, a tab opens with header 'Subversion properties' and the svn propererties of the module.
    Switching to the second plsql module, and executing the same menu option, nothing happens in the 'Subversion properties' tab. The properties of the first plsql module is still shown. The only way to show the properties of the second module is closing the 'Subversion properties' tab, and execute the menu option again.
    Is this a known problem?

  • Why does my Panel not update with the new picture?

    Hi!
    I call the folowing panel from my main Window where on certain events I want to get the panel to display a different image. The problem is that the initial image stays on.
