Turn off "favor the selected object"

I recently switched to CS5 and discoverd the new "favor the selected object" feature. And i don't like it!
I can see the advantage of not accidentally selecting an overlapping object, but after a few hours of indesigning it drives me mad! It makes me accidentally deselecting the bottom object when trying to select multiple objects.
I found that CMD+selecting makes the selection tool work like in previous versions. Is there a way to turn this feature off, and perhaps make CMD+selecting act in the new CS5 way?

I can't tell you how often this feature was requested in the old days. It certainly makes my life much simpler than having to zoom out so I can see enough of an overlapped frame to find the center point to grab, and I know many other users appreciate it too. I don't have a problem with making it a user prefernce, however.
Basically, the selection priority is now reversed, is all. If you want to move a front object instead, you just have to click on a spot where it doesn't overlap the one you've selected.

  • My macbook pro won't sleep - if I select sleep it does so initially, then the disc-drive appears to kick in and it comes back to life.  It also won't turn off (again, the disc drive kicks in) unless you hold the power-button down for a long period.

  • Unable to remove a host from VMM - Error (2606) Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job.

    I am unable to remove a host from my Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2. I receive the following error:
    Error (2606)
    Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job.
    Recommended Action
    To find out which job is locking the object, in the Jobs view, group by Status, and find the running or canceling job for the object. When the job is complete, try again.
    I have already tried running the following command in SQL Server Management Studio
    SELECT * FROM [VirtualManagerDB].[dbo].[tbl_VMM_Lock] where TaskID='Task_GUID'
    I received this error back:
    Msg 8169, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
    Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier.
    I have also tried rebooting both the host and the Virtual Machine Manager Server.  After rebooting them both, I still receive the same error when trying to remove the host.
    Here are my server details
    VMM Server OS = Windows 2012 Standard
    VMM Version = 2012 R2 3.2.7510.0
    Host OS = Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter
    Host Agent Version = 3.2.75.10.0
    SQL Server OS = Windows 2012 Datacenter
    SQL Version = 2012 SP 1 (11.0.3000.0)

    Hi there,
    How many hosts are you managing with your VMM server?
    The locking job might be the background host refresher job. Did you see any jobs in the jobs view, when the host removal job failed?
    If there is no active jobs in the jobs view when this host removal job fails, can you please turn on the VMM tracing, retry the host removal, and paste back the traces for the failed job (search for exception and paste the whole stack)?
    Thanks!

  • [Agentry] Identifying the selected object in multi-tab lists on iPad

    hi all,
    On iPad, we can create a multi-tab lists to group objects based on different criteria as shown below.
    In my implementation, I created a Tile Display which holds a screen set called “Lists” with multiple list screens.
    Once we select an object in one of the lists, we need to either display details of the it or execute some transactions on that object. Then I had difficulty to find a way to identify the selected object. Since this is a screen set inside a tile display. I first tried to see if I can drill down on the tile display.
    As shown above, I cannot go further on the tile display.
    Then I tried to see if I can find the object on the “Lists” screen set. There are four screens each of which has “selected object” option. During the application’s execution, the user may switch between lists/tabs. Is there any method we can figure out which tab/screen the user is currently on?  With that piece of information, I can identify the screen and then the object accordingly.
    My development environment is 6.0.42 and iOS 7.1.
    If this is not correct way to accomplish such function, is there any work around available to present a workable multi-lists tile on iPad?
    Thanks a lot.

    Jason,
    My following question might be a bit off the original topic. Please let me know if you want me to open a new post.
    I actually tried the navigation as well as the list selection. The navigation did happen. However, instead of presenting the Lists screen in the original tile display, a new full screen is created after the navigation which covers the original screen on iPad.
    This leads to a general question regarding the navigation on screen with tile display. For pocket PC, the navigation is straight forward as a new screen is going to be created to cover the original screen. On tablet, if tile display is used, is it possible to navigate to, i.e., activate the focus on, a particular screen inside a tile display?
    Please let me know if I make my question clear.
    Thanks a lot.

  • Can't turn off "Announce the time."

    I have a MacBook  2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, with 2 GB memory,  with 249.2 GB storage of which I've used only 45.69 GB .
    I recently uploaded Mavericks (OSX 10.9.4), and now have two problems.
    First:  I can't turn off "Announce the time."  I schedule my MacBook to automatically turn off at certain time and before that I will de-select "Announce the time"  but it won't turn off.  I've tried doing it multiple times.  I've tried to backdoor it via Notifications and ultimately did a "Repair Disk Permissions and verified my disk hoping that would help — to no avail.  The only way I can get it to work is if I completely shut down the computer and manually start up.  A simple Restart won't do; the computer has to be completely shut down for the setting to work.
    This seems to be a Mavericks problem.  I've never had this problem before.
    Second:  When my computer turns on (either manually or automatically) I have it set so the iTunes opens automatically with it.  The problem is that even though the screen has iTunes on it Finder is front of it like some kind of invisible film.  This prevents me from operating iTunes remotely  unless I go and manually click the screen to bring iTunes to the front.  How can I get it so iTunes is automatically "in front" when my computer starts up in the morning? 

    Boot into the Recovery Drive by holding down Command R when restarting.
    Run Repair Drive and Repair Permissions using Disk Utility in Recovery.
    Run Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs following steps described here **
    Restart
    Download and run the combo updater to refresh your OS X files.
    OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1755
    Open System Preferences > Users & Groups
    Login Items.
    Make sure iTunes is last in the list.

  • Enhancement Implementation - Operation not supported by the selected object

    Hi,
    I have created an Enhancement Implementation (EI) of Enhancement Spot BADI_ACC_DOCUMENT via transaction SE19. When activating the EI, the following message occurs and the EI is not activated:
    Operation not supported by the selected object
    Message no. SEU_MANAGER061
    I have searched the forum and service marketplace for the message, but I still have no resolution of the problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    It turned out to be a basis problem. Looking into transaction SM21 showed that the database was full.

  • Service template problem - Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job - ID 2606

    Hello,
    I’ve finally managed to deploy my first guest cluster with a shared VHDX using a service template. 
    So, I now want to try and update my service template.  However, whenever I try to do anything with it, in the services section, I receive the error:
    Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job.  To find out which job is locking the object, in the jobs view, group by status, and find the running or cancelling job for the object.  ID 2606
    Well I tried that and there doesn’t seem to be a job locking the object.  Both the cluster nodes appear to be up and running, and I can’t see a problem with it at all.  I tried running the following query in SQL:
    SELECT * FROM [VirtualManagerDB].[dbo].[tbl_VMM_Lock] where TaskID='Task_GUID'
    but all this gives me is an error that says - conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier msg 8169, level 16, State 2, Line 1
    I'm no SQL expert as you can probably tell, but I'd prefer not to deploy another service template in case this issue occurs again.
    Can anyone help?

    No one else had this?

    On belhalf of my fellow volunteers, the answer is, "We'll try our best." 
    My advice is to try not to treat this like it is a paid service provided by compensated professionals.  Ask nicely and one of the nice folks here might take some time out of their weekend to offer advice.
