Terminal.app bug when minimizing or maximizing window

I am running vi in a 24x80 window.  When I maximize the window, terminal replaces the top line in the file with a random line from the body of the file.  When I minimize the file, the top line is replaced with another random line.  For instance,  I have a file with 10 lines as follows ...
I maximize the window and it now contains ...
(the top line has been replaced with line 5)
I minimize and it changes to ...
Now the top line has been replaced with line 4.
Every time I maximize or minimize the window the top line may, or may not, be replaced with a line from the body of the file.  This makes writing code interesting to say the least.
Any ideas?

Hi Ahmad,
For your issue, please try the following suggestions:
Update your graphic driver;
Update your Office to the last version;
Disable all
add-ins to determine if it could be caused by the 3rd-party add-ins;
Configure your computer to reboot in
clean boot mode to determine if it could be caused by the 3rd-party services and applications;
Tips:
To have your Office applications update with Windows, go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Windows Update\Change settings
Make sure the options - "Give me updates for other microsoft products when i update windows" is enabled.

  • ITunes window disappears when minimized, then maximized

    Hi, I accidentally minimized (yellow button) iTunes and when I maximized it again (clicked on the minimized screen in the dock), it disappeared. I found it was there when I opened my spaces screen but there was no way to access it. If I clicked on it, it just went back to one of the spaces. The only way I could find to get it back was to quit iTunes and start it again (but then I tried to replicate the problem and it did the same thing, so restarting it didn't fix it completely).
    Also, sometimes when I switch to the mini player, the player i nowhere to be seen and I have to right click on the iTunes icon in the dock, click hide, then click show and it's back.
    Anyone know how what's going on and/or how to fix it? Thanks!
    (ps I have the most recent version of iTunes and a G5 desktop mac)

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • When minimizing the Firefox window, it totally disappears and can't be maximized again.

    After a unknown crash of Firefox, I restarted Firefox.
    The button appeared in the tasbar, but the window was never to be found.
    Clicking the button didn't help.
    I used the windows taskmanager to maximize the window, which worked OK, but.........
    When clicking the "size down" button (top right middle button), the window again disappeared and could not be resurrected again in a normal way.
    So at the moment I am stuck with a maximaized window, and I can't resize and move it anymore....
    Sincerly hope you have a solution....
    Best regards,
    Lody J. Claessen

    * Use Restore or Maximize in the right-click context menu of the Taskbar icon to set focus to the Firefox application if you do not see the Firefox window.
    * Open the system menu of that Firefox window via Alt+Space and see if you can move and resize that window (use the keyboard cursor keys).
    If that works then first close all other open Firefox windows and then close Firefox via "File > Exit/Quit" to save that setting.
    If the above didn't help then see:

  • App crashes when trying to open window

    Hi guys.
    At the moment, my Cocoa Mac application is set to terminate when the last window is closed. I want to run a confirmation alert when the app is about to quit using the following code;
    - (NSApplicationTerminateReply)applicationShouldTerminate:(NSApplication *)sender
    int choice = NSRunCriticalAlertPanel (@"Confirm",
    @"Are you sure you wish to permanently quit Posture? Doing so will stop any further alerts.",
    @"Cancel",
    @"Yes",
    nil,
    @"a format");
    if(choice == NSAlertDefaultReturn)
    [mainWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:nil];
    return NSTerminateCancel;
    else
    return NSTerminateNow;
    The trouble is, when I call [mainWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:nil] the app will crash, before reaching the NSTerminateCancel.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to why this would be happening? The mainWindow is still loaded into the memory, and has not been de-allocated.
    I'd appreciate any help!
    Thanks,
    Ricky.

  • Illustrator CS6 on Mac Yosemite keeps unhiding when minimizing or maximizing any other application from the dock

    I am running Adobe Illustrator CS6 on my Mac,  I just upgraded to Yosemite OS and when I have Illustrator hidden and then minimize any other application to the dock - Illustrator pops back up. The same happens when I restore/maximize any other application that is minimized in the dock - Illustrator pops back up. However, if I have Illustrator minimized to the dock (not hidden) it doesn't do it.  Illustrator is the only app that does this - Photoshop, InDesign, Dreamweaver, etc... are all fine. It's not life threatening, just annoying.  Anyone have any ideas on this?

    Odd... and you have only 1 instance of the apps (in other words you don't have Office 2008 anywhere on the system)?

  • BUG when playing Solitare in Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

    Ive been playing Solitare and found a bug.  What ever is being used for Random generation seems to have an error.
    At first I was not sure (I opened a post somewhere else), but now I AM POSITIVE.  Especially when you get the same game two times in a row.  This has happened more than once.  I am relatively sure I have see the same thing in Spyder
    solitare as well.
    Most of the time, I completely unload the game and start over.  So that may be a clue.  Normally, the repeat does not happen immediately, but it has repeated immediateldy more than twice.

    Please try the following:
    1.
           Click
    Start
    2.
           Click
    Control Panel
    3.
           Click
    Uninstall a program located under the “Programs” category
    4.
           From the selections listed on the left-hand side of the window click
    Turn Windows features on or off (provided administrative credentials if prompted)
    5.
           Click the “+ ” next to
    Games to drop down the menu, then uncheck and check again
    Spider Solitaire (This will re-install it)
    I recommand to you to uncheck then leave the interface and after you do the same previous steps to check it again.

  • Terminal.app resize bug?

    I use the Terminal.app to log into a Linux machine. I usually open up multiple tabs per window, and I run emacs in some of the terminal window. The problem is that when I resize the windows, often the window can not remember what size it's supposed to be, and sometimes switching from one tab to another triggers the window to resize to previous dimensions. It's particularly annoying when I start emacs in a tab that's confused in this way, because the window width that emacs thinks it is is incorrect, so emacs can not format the display properly. If I manually resize the window with emacs running, it snaps into place, but then the other tab gets confused.
    I didn't have this problem, or it wasn't as noticeable on OSX 10.6.
    Is there something I can do about this? This problem is really annoying, and Apple hasn't fixed the other Terminal.app bug I reported to them yet.

    You could try iterm or iterm2
    <http://iterm.sourceforge.net/>
    <http://www.iterm2.com/>
    You can always ssh -Y (or ssh -X) into your Linux system and export xterm's back to your Mac (although I'm not personally a fan of xterm, some people like it).
    And of course there is always the gui version of emacs and have it export its X11 windows back to your Mac.
    NOTE:  I am not an emacs user, so anything I say about emacs is based on things I read on the intertubes :-)
    You could VNC to your Linux box (although that generally speaking requires a rather fast network corrected to be anywhere usable for an editing session), also the build-in Mac OS X VNC client (Screen Sharing) does not always play nice outside the Mac family, so you should consider alternative VNC clients, such as Chicken (formally Chicken of the VNC), JollysFastVNC, tightvnc (via MacPorts.org), to name a few.
    Finally, if you feel there is a real bug in Terminal that needs to be addressed, please file a bug report with Apple so they will have a chance to see and maybe fix it

  • Keyboard shortcuts in terminal.app for moving to next and previous tabs

    Hi,
    In Terminal.app, if you click on the Window menu item, it tells you that the keyboard shortcuts for moving to the next and previous tab are ⌘} and ⌘{.
    When I try to use those shortcuts however all I get is it beeping at me.
    The only way I've found to move from tab to tab is ⌘-shift--> and ⌘-shift-<-
    What do I have to do to get the ⌘} style shortcuts working??

  • Terminal.app has disappeared

    I had Terminal in my Dock, and I removed it because it would not open. I went to open it under Applications -> Utilities, but could not find Terminal.app (Spotlight did not find it either).
    I used my OS X install CD and Pacifist to grab Terminal.app, but when I click on Terminal I get "You can't open the application 'Terminal' because it is not supported on this architecture".
    I downloaded the 10.5.8 build of Combo Update after I ran Pacifist, but this did not fix it.
    I then ran Disk Utility to do a Permissions fix, but still nothing.
    Does anyone have any other ideas?

  • Problems with Audio Stutter when moving minimizing/maximizing windows

    I am using an Emu 1820m (ASIO driver) with AA3.0. I'm using the same ASIO driver mode in both edit and multi-track view.
    In multi-track view, I can have several tracks going (i.e., 24 tracks as I type this) and the audio is fairly rock solid. I can go to other programs, move windows around, minimize/maximize windows, etc. and the audio is glitch free. This is while running the Emu 1820m at 48k/24-bit and 2ms latency!
    However, in the single edit view, this is another story. When I have an audio playing in the edit view, I get many audio glitches with audio events. The worst is when I minimize/maximize any window (not just AA3). I get a "brzzzzzt" while the window minimizes/maximizes. I can make this stop by disabling animations when minimizing/maximizing windows; however, why does mult-track view behave fine even with animations on?
    Also, in single edit view, moving windows around causes a lot of dropouts in audio (but again, not in multi-track view.)
    Can anyone shed any light as to what is going on here?
    A very extreme case to show the problem even further:
    In multi-track view, load up some tracks and play them. Now run dxdiag (while the multi-tracks are playing) and on the display tab, run the Direct3D tests. Even with the Direct3D tests running, the AA3.0 audio plays flawlessly while in multi-track mode. Now, play a file in Edit mode. Do the same test with dxdiag while the file is playing - GLITCH CITY!
    This doesn't happen in other audio programs I have (i.e., Sound Forge, Sonar, etc.)
    Please, someone, shed some light on this issue!
    My system is:
    + Intel Q6600 2.4 quad core G0 stepping @ 3.20
    + Arctic pro freezer 7 cooler
    + 4 gigs (2 sticks of 2 gigs) of G.Skill DDR2 1066 ram (PC2 8500)

    + SAMSUNG 20X DVD±R DVD Burner Model SH-S203N
    + Windows XP Pro SP2

    SteveG, I don't believe it is an 1820m issue at all. Do you have a single or multi-core processor? This behavior did not occur on my old P4 3GHz system. I only started observing it when I built this quad core system about a month ago.
    By the way, today I replaced my mobo with one of the same brand and model and the behavior still exists (to rule out a defective mobo.) I've also tried 3 different video cards (although they were all NVIDIA) and the problem remains no matter which card I use.
    Durin,
    As I was typing the first post, I verified that I was using the Emu 1820m ASIO driver in both Edit and Multitrack views. (As I was writing it, it crossed my mind that I might have it set to something else in one mode.) However, it is the same in both.
    One thing I forgot to mention is that there is one more app that behaves similarly (Reaper). All other apps (Sonar, FL Studio, eXT, Ableton Live, Sound Forge, Wavosaur) do not show this behavior and are rock solid.
    If you'd like to see my thread about this behavior in Reaper (and others who can reproduce it) see here: http://www.cockos.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19036
    I believe Sonar, FL Studio, eXT, Ableton Live, Sound Forge, Wavosaur, etc.. are doing something properly when playing back audio and/or initializing plugins that Adobe Audition and Reaper are failing to do properly with certain hardware configurations.

  • Dragging tabs from one Terminal.app window to another

    In Safari, you can drag a tab off and "tear" it off from one window to another. Is there a way to make that work in Terminal.app? It doesn't seem to work on my end with Leopard OS X 10.5.5.

    g-pod wrote:
    That worked, thanks! I see what happened now. I tried to detach the tab by dragging the tab upward instead of downward, but didn't drag it up far enough for detachment.
    I discovered the "bug" with Safari - about dragging "up."
    I used the two tab example because it works more easily. But dragging "up" works even when the target terminal has no tab. It's a cool thing
    I suspect that the tab portion of termina (or Safari) only opens when "attacked" from below.

  • Terminal.app won't return window to default size with open tab

    I regularly have multiple Terminal.app windows open with multiple tabs open in them. If I have a window open with no tabs, I can drag scale the window to whatever size is convenient for me at the moment, then use the Window > Return to Default Size function to make it go back to my default size configured in the app preferences.
    The problem comes when I have a window open that is already scaled to a different size and I open a tab. This resets the default size to whatever size the window was when the tab was opened. The result is that if I use the Window > Return to Default Size function, it does nothing, unless the window has been scaled again, then it resets the window size to what it was when the tab was opened, not the default size configured in my preferences.
    Is this a feature, or a bug? Is there a way I can make it retain the default size dimensions even when I've opened a tab?

    I would solve the problem by resizing after closing the added tab. However, your inquiry is really beyond my abilities. Questions do get answered in these forums; sometimes not, in which case resorting to Apple Support _may_ resolve the issue. Have you checked out posting under "Mac OS X Technologies"? I believe there are Unix sections to that forum. Good luck.

    How do I keep it minimized?
    Actually, I suspect you can't. You get various behaviors based on a combination of settings in Preferences > Interface; namely Open Documents as Tabs and Enable Floating Document Window Docking; but it doesn't seem to make much sense as far as I can tell. Throw in the additional "application frame" wildcard on a Mac, and even just exploring the effects of the settings and drawing conclusions about them gets tricky. It sounds like you've got your windows floating, whereas I suspect many if not most users have opted for the more structured and seemingly more logical tabbed/docked method, in which case they haven't encountered your issue and don't really understand it. One might ask; if your new/current document is "in front" then what difference does it make if others behind it are minimized, maximized, or something in between?

Maybe you are looking for
