ToolTip text disappearing

I have a ( Swing ) GUI with buttons down the left side next to a graphics canvas. The ToolTip text which I have set for the buttons only appears over the panel and will not overlap onto the canvas. Is this a surmountable problem, or is it something that isn't "fixable"?
Thanks

There is still a solution to your proplem. Instead of Canvas you can try to use a JLabel like:
1. Write all your graphics to an Image (like in double buffering)
2. Create an ImageIcon
3. Set ImageIcon for your JLabel
(perhaps you should put your JLabel on a JPanel)
//this JLabel will be used instead of canvas
private JLabel jcanvas = new JLabel(); //no text
Image img = getYourUpdatedImage();
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(img);
jcanvas.setIcon(icon);This way your ToolTips won't be cut, and there won't be any flickering.
Cheers!

[SOLVED] Text disappearing in GTK applications

Here's a screenshot of what I'm describing: http://i.imgur.com/chJ1V.png
Text disappears from labels, lists, textboxes and tooltips. I've noticed I can copy and paste text from GTK textboxes into Qt applications but if I copy text from one GTK textbox to another it still won't appear. When typing in a textbox I'll be able to see it (most of the time) but then one keystroke will make the whole text disappear, pressing backspace does not make it reappear.
Also, some text reappears when reducing the size of a list horizontally: http://imgur.com/a/LvBJ1 -- Increasing the width causes more text to disappear.
I can't seem to find any solution through google and I don't think it's a font issue since I'm having no problems with Qt applications.
Any ideas on what the problem could be? Thanks

This issue is also occurring in terminal emulators that use vte or vte3. This includes Lilyterm, Sakura, etc (you can see the list under VTE-Based Terminals in the list of Common Applications on the Arch Wiki.
I wanted to point this out because I don't use any GTK applications, hopefully this should be helpful for lilyterm users who are searching for this issue.
Also, updating to [testing] didn't work for me. Downgrading to xorg-server 1.12.1-1 works for now

CommandNavigationItem does not show tooltip text in IE7 alone.

ADF Version - 11.1.1.4.0/11.1.1.5.0
The 'commandNavigationItem' does not display the tooltip text provided for 'shortDesc' attribute. This is seen just in IE7. Works well with IE8, Firefox, Safari and Chrome.
Pasting the snippet of the code used:
<f:facet name="end">
<af:panelGroupLayout layout="horizontal" id="pt_pgl7">
<af:navigationPane hint="buttons" id="pt_np1">
<af:commandNavigationItem icon="#{imagesRes.HOME}"
immediate="true"
rendered="#{appData.personAuthenticated}"
shortDesc="#{globalRes['MENU.MAIN.HOME.DEFALUT']}"
action="#{appData.getHomeAction}"
id="pt_cni1" text=" "/>
</af:navigationPane>
</af:panelGroupLayout>
</f:facet>

can u try enabling XMLHTTP support and javaascript support in IE7 and check

Can we have a tooltip text, formatted on 2 and more rows

Hello,
I am interested if it is possible (in List GUIBB) to make a tooltip(on a list cell), containing additional description, formatted on 2 and more rows like bulleted list.
As I can see the "tooltip" field in the fields description(parameter structure FPMGB_S_LISTFIELD_DESCR of below method) is of type char(100), but I can also assign "tooltip_ref" in method if_fpm_guibb_list~get_definition.
I tried to insert some special symbol like "\n" but it was rendered exactly.

I solved the problem already by using the special character constant cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline for new-line-segmenting the tooltip text on lines.
(In List GUIBB)I have added a technical field to the field catalog in method IF_FPM_GUIBB_LISTGET_DEFINITION and then in method IF_FPM_GUIBB_LISTGET_DATA assigned the field "tooltip_ref" (thus got limitation of 512 chars instead of "tooltip", which is limited at only 100 chars) of the field description structure to it.

Calendar on iOS 7. Anyone noticed that when you enter text into the "notes section" of a day, the text disappears behind the keyboard rather than scrolling down to keep pace with text entry ? Looks like an 7 glitch to me ?

Text disappearing in pdf file

I received a word file that was converted to pdf using "pdf maker". In the word file there is "shading" behind the text. In the pdf file if I select portions of the text and try to "highlight" it to make comments, some of the text disappears. (The text actually goes behind the "shading" so that you can't see it). If I use the "touch up object" tool in Acrobat professional, I can select the "shading" and delete and see the text underneath. Does anyone know why this is happening? Thanks

I have run into this problem myself. I have been able to use the object selection tool (In Acrobat 8 Pro) to select the box in front of the text and delete it without also deleting the text.

Text disappearing in pdf when re-ordering tags

I have a pdf (Acrobat 8 Pro), and I have created it as a tagged pdf in InDesign CS3. However, when I convert it to the pdf, the order of the tags changes, so that I need to use the Touchup Reading Order tool. When I do this, however, text disappears. The text in the ID file is in an opaque text box, and what is actually happening when I re-order in Acrobat is that the text is moved behind the opaque box so that it is no longer visible, but it still appears in the Order dialogue box.
However, in ID, they are one object - it is a text box containing text, not a separate opaque box behind the text. Otherwise I might try tagging the box as an artifact and see if that works. Theoretically, I could select it in Acrobat to tag it as an artifact, but the selection tool only allows me to select rectangular areas, and so it selects both the opaque box and the text behind it.
Any suggestions?

Text disappearing in tagged PDFs

I recently upgraded to Acrobat Professional 9. When creating PDFs via "Convert to Adobe PDF" in Word with tagging enabled, I'm sometimes seeing text disappear in the conversion process so that whole lines are missing from the PDF.
Using the print dialog to print to PDF works fine and does not result in missing text. However I need tagged PDFs to meet high accessibility requirements, so should be converting from Word. Has anyone else encountered this problem? The version of Word I'm using is 2003.

Usually when this happens it is related to the printer reflow that WORD does. There is a setting in WORD to select to not use the printer metrics for sending information to the printer. The other solution relates to selecting the Adobe PDF printer before you finish your layout, but you have already said the printer works fine.

Acrobat 5.0.5 text disappears in Free Text Tool

Ok it's an oldie, but it's a goodie. I love my Acrobat 5.0.5, and never had any reason to upgrade. Well once. From 5.0 to 5.0.5. I have used my license on three different machine builds. 95, 2K and now XP Pro 64 bit and it still works great. (Yes, this program has outlived 2 older computers!) Well. Until yesterday. Suddenly when I create a free text box, and type in there, the text disappears. This happened once before a few years back, and I have forgotten what the fix was, but I do believe that was why I upgraded from 5.0 to 5.0.5. Now it is happening again.
Now for the real kick in the pants. I tried to reinstall my product, thinking to correct the problem, and all of a sudden Adobe doesn't like my several years old serial number. I get the error message that it isn't valid. And it IS a valid license, just a really OLD one. I only used it for the latest install of this, my same program, about a year ago, maybe a little more than a year.
I tried to just run the 5.0.5 update program again and it says the program isn't even installed to update. What the heck? OF COURSE IT IS.
I'm very frustrated and disappointed, as this is an old favorite of mine and I hate to think that Adobe has rused it so that it just won't work anymore to force me to purchase a newer version, when I didn't need a newer version.
If someone familiar with this old version of Acrobat could help me resolve this issue, I would very much appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

The 64 bit OS can run most 32 bit applications just fine if you set it up right, and as I stated, this issue is not a compatibility issue, but a recurring issue within the application itself that also plagued me once upon a time when I ran it under Win 2k. Apparently an Adobe bug, and I suspect it is more related to the forced download of an updated version of the basic acrobat reader (due to Adobe inflicted browser issues) than it is with a Windows update. In my case, I set all of my old 32 bit applications up on a separate drive. I never default install programs on the main OS drive if it can be helped. Some of them I have to click the actual application *.exe or shortcut, because "open with" absolutely will not work, even if it is set as the default application for certain extensions. You will get an error message about it not being a valid Win32 application. From the program itself, however, once it is launched, it is never a problem to browse to and open the correct data file.
I even went so far as to install the Adobe basic reader when I was forced to do so, on a completely separate drive from my Acrobat 5 because I am well aware that previously caused problems as well, and never EVER let the application make its automatic updates from Adobe.... EITHER of them, actually. I suspect it was one of those snuck through and not a Windows update that caused it, although the possibility exists, I suspect Adobe does whatever it can to sell more software.

Text disappears on buttons in InDesign cs6

I'm doing an interactive pdf from InDesign CS6. I have buttons that I've created using just a solid rectangle and reversed white text in the rectangle and the buttons are on my master page. I want my buttons to change to a different colour when you click or mouse over them (only text to change to a different colour). When I go to 'click state' or 'rollover state' (I've tried both), the button is copied and I can change the colour but then in my normal state, I have an overset text, (I get a red plus sign) my text disappears. When I try and correct my normal state, the same thing happens in my click or rollover state. When I export a file to an interactive pdf, my normal state button is without text and my over or click state button has text with the colour that I've selected. Does anyone know why this happens or how to fix it?
Thanks,
NZ

We might be able to help you but you'll have to drop the attitude. We're not Adobe here, but users like you.
You'll need to tell us exactly what you're doing and what's not working for you. By "rollovers," you could mean the change of appearance of a button. You could also be meaning what are sometimes called Show/Hide buttons where clicking a button causes another button to appear. Which is it?
And what kind of output are you attempting? Interactive PDF? SWF (Flash)? DPS?

Add tooltip text to a Custom Toolbar Item (attached to Skin)

Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know of a quick way of creating tooltip text when you hover over a custom button?
I have created a Feedback button. I want the button to be labelled "Feedback" but would like the hover text to say something like " Send email to Support".
There is an OnMouseOver option but I can't work how to make this happen, or if this way is actually a valid option.
Thanks very much.
Emma

Wondering if adding an image to the button to indicate eMail would do the job?

Why does my text disappears (some of it) when I convert my .psd to a PS .pdf?

I've read every possible answer that it could be, but it increases my .pdf to more than 600 MB, that it will supposed to be!! please advice!!!

What version of PS? What text? What PDF setttings? What system? what fonts? You need to provide a lot more details. If the text disappears, the font may not allow to be embedded or you have applied some formatting or styling that can't be retained without converting it to pixel data...

Why does added text disappear when I move the cursor

After adding text to an unprotected .pdf file the text disappears when I move the cursor and want to add a second box of text. The text in the first box reappears when I double click on the space where the box was. How do I set the text so that it remains visible and printable?

Hi,
I think the data in the PDF file was filled-in using MAC preview.
One option is to ask the user to fill the file again using Adobe Reader or Acrobat.
Or else refer to following link:

Why does Pages Text Disappear On Conversion to PDF

I made a two-page newsletter in Pages '09. The text on the front page article disappears when I export to PDF. The text is there in the thumbnail for the file but when I open the PDF document, the page is blank except for the graphics and photo.
I'm using pages '09 and the latest version of Acrobat Pro. The font is Futura Medium and shows up fine on the second page.
Any ideas?

After pulling my hair out for several days trying to solve for this, my son looked at it and in 20 seconds figured out the problem. The file looked fine in Preview and showed up in the thumbnail. Exporting to Word also worked, but the text disappeared regardless of how I arrived at the PDF.
When examining the text box for the the "disappearing" text, my son chose "Bring To Front" from the "Arrange" menu and that fixed it. This made sense because all the other body copy text was the exact same font/style, etc. and displayed as expected in the exported PDF. Therefore, the problem was isolated to the properties of that one text box. In the course of laying out the newsletter, that one text box was sent backward in the layers and when converted to PDF, was hidden behind an invisible layer (there was no background of any kind behind the text, just the white "paper").
