Twitchy mouse on dialog boxes in photoshop cs6

Hey there,
So I have a really weird problem with photoshop cs6. For some reason my mouse cursor starts twitching when I move over dialog boxes. I have recorded a video to show you what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rouox93xMo
I am currently on the 30 day trial period, because I had gotten an unlimited license via surfspot, but that turned out to NOT be unlimited, suddenly expired (misinformation by surfspot), waiting to hear back from them to get a new license code. I've seen a lot of people on the forums complaining about the same thing, the surfspot unlimited license that suddenly expired shenanigans. I don't think that should have anything to do with it though, but I just thought I would put it out there.
In any case, I'm running windows 8 pro, and... well if you need any other info ask me, I'm not sure what to add. Hope someone can help, it's really annoying, sometimes I can barely click the dialog box correctly to enter what I want.

Hi robtompk,
It is highly unlikely that your problems are because of purchasing a discounted version of the software. Just to be sure, can you try closing other applications open on your computer, and try opening the dialog boxes in DW?
Also, what is the build number that you have? Use Help > About to get this information.
Thanks,

I am unable to get my Logitech T620 touch mouse to scroll horizontally in Photoshop CS6

I am unable to get my T620 touch mouse to scroll horizontally in Photoshop CS6. Any suggestions on how to enable this? The bar at the bottom of the document moves left/right as I scroll, but the screen doesn't.
I am using a T620 touch mouse on Windows 7 64 bit with the latest version of setpoint. I have checked the box in the mouses settings to allow sidescrolling with a swipe of 1 finger. I am aware you can hold control and swipe up/down to get a left right scroll.
Thanks in advance

This site may help.

Missing Camera Raw Dialog Box in Photoshop Elements 8 for Windows.

Hello,
I have Photoshop Elements 8 for Windows. This runs on a 32-bit Windows Vista VirtualBox virtual machine.
It has been running fine, but suddenly opening raw Nikon images no longer opens the Camera Raw Dialog box, but takes me straight into editing on Photoshop Elements.
I really like having the Camera Raw Dialog box open as I do most of my image processing using this before opening the resulting file in Elements.
Does anyone know how to get this box back, or to open it from within Elements?
I have tried opening the images from within Photoshop Elements using the "Open As..." mnu item from the File menu, and the selecting "Camera Raw" as the image type, but it still opens without the Camera Raw Dialog box.
Thanks very much.

Check your screen resolution settings for vista.
I believe the screen resolution needs to be at least 1024 x 768 for the camera raw dialog to show in pse 8.
For example, if instead of running VirtualBox full screen, your running it in windowed or seamless mode and made the window smaller by dragging on the corner, that would automatically lessen the screen resolution in vista.

Missing advanced dialog box in photoshop elements 9

I am hoping someone out there can help. I have a missing advanced dialog box on my photoshop downloader page. I have photoshop elements 9. I saw that changing the screen resolution can sometime help this, however it does not in my case, I've tried all available. I have a new Dell Inspiron laptop and resolution is set at 1366 X 768. My computer was preloaded with photoshop elements 8. I can see the advanced dialog box in version 8. However, it is not in version 9. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks for your help.

Odd thing happening to my Open dialog box in Photoshop

I use Photoshop under Mac OS 10.6.8, and every time I bring up the Open dialog box, the file window (which is always set to List View) has the Name column all scrunched up to the point where all the filenames are mostly hidden. I have to expand the column every time to see what I'm doing. Photoshop is supposed to remember your window settings, but it doesn't for me. The next time I bring up the Open dialog box, the Name column is all scrunched up again. It only does this with the Open box; not the Save box. And it only happens with Photoshop, and only one this one computer. I'm not sure if this is a problem with Photoshop, or the OS, or some third party thing. Anyone have any ideas?

It has everything to do with that thick black arrow on which you wrote RRRGH!

[Solved] Mouse hover/dialog boxes now black after gnome update

After updating to Gnome 2.24, the dialog boxes that appear when hovering the mouse cursor over items on the gnome desktop are now just big black boxes. Any ideas on how to fix this one?

I remember someone else saying this, don't remember where Probably not a coincident then. I don't use Gnome, so...
Does this happen with _every_ item? Try changing your GTK theme?

File Info box hangs photoshop cs6

When I click on the file info button the file box opens up blank and hangs photoshop CS6. I have to use window task manager to close/end PS CS6. In both CS3 and PS7 the info file button works file

I guess I will uninstall PS CS6 and Bridge tomorrow . then reinstall it

Accessing dialog boxes in DW CS6

My Dreamweaver CS6 software does not automatically bring up certain dialog boxes when their functions are invoked, specifically the Hyperlink dialog box and the Select Image Source dialog box. There are obviously ways to do these functions without the dialog boxes, but I would like to know why they don't automatically pop up when I follow the instructions laid out in David McFarland's "The Missing Maual" book or various online tutuorials on Youtube.com and elsewhere.
I am wondering if this could possibly be due to the fact that I purchased and downloaded the software from an online retailer called www.newoemsoftware.com at a greatly discounted price. I was given a serial number and can register the software, so I would think that nothing is suspect about my software.

Open File dialog box in photoshop CS3 with cintiq 12wx

Hello all,
I can't be the only one with this problem. Whenever I open a file in CS3 on my Cintiq 12WX, the file open dialogue appears on my primary monitor instead of my cintiq. No matter what I do, it always appears there. Every other dialog box appears on the cintiq, except the open one. It is extremely frustrating. Does anyone know how to fix this?

It's okay - we all get like that at some time or other. I dread reading my posting history for that reason.

I have started having problems with the png dialogue box in Photoshop cs6

When I go to save the image I am working on, the PNG Dialogue box is black , I mean that the radial and submit buttons show up but the rest is just black so i cannot see exactly what I am doing. I cannot work out how to fix this and would really like to avoid a total reinstall of my CS6 package.
This issue does not happen using the PSD or JPG save options either so i am baffled.
Kind Regards
William
PS- Does anyone know if it is still possible to talk directly to Adobe via thier live chat option as I could not find it when I wanted to inform them of this directly

I am using OS X Mountain Lion. I really dont want to have to reinstall anything. An OS Reinstall is really no less annoying than a Reinstall of the CS6 package. Sadly it looks like this may be the only way forward. Just hope I can do it without losing too much from the machine as it is my work machine.
Thanks for your help and for the link. I just wish Adobe was more directly contactable about issues that come up when using their products.

How do I disable the X and Y coordinates box in Photoshop CS6??

this is driving me completely nuts. its the same box thats in Illustrator and InDesign, only I can't find in Preferences how to disable the annoying thing. someone please point me in the right direction. thank you so much.

It would be useful if you had said it was under the Interface section in Preferences. Yeesh, what an annoying, useless feature : /

CS6 "move" dialog box issue

What is the secret to getting the "move" dialog box in AI CS6 to move objects the distance and direction entered in the box?

It's a group of vector polygons, with effects attached. I think rulers, transformation center, and preferences are similar to defaults. I'm not a skilled enough user to change much. I like inches, so I changed that. But otherwise, it's fairly bland. How do you reset the preferences?
I should also have mentioned that I'm using the 30-day trial version of Illustrator.
Just now, I opened up a new file, created a single rectangle, and was able to reproduce the problem. You can download the file through this link: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0Hoxcl5zTEtT1dvR0RjMkFyRTQ/edit?usp=sharing
Recipe for problem:
- Open file
- Left click the black rectangle.
- Right click the rectangle, choose tansform->move
- Tab. Tab. 1. Tab. 30. Tab. (note that h/v boxes fail to update, and remain 0)
- Click preview
Nothing happens.
It seems to me that if you enter values in the horizontal and vertical boxes, the distance/direction boxes update appropriately, and the move works fine. However, if you enter values in the distance/direction boxes, the horizontal and vertical boxes generally do not update at all, then sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes, the first set of distance/direction numbers work fine, but if you leave the move box open, then change those numbers, the h/v boxes then fail to update, and clicking preview just causes the object to move as for the previous settings, or to not move at all.

Mavericks and Photoshop CC - blank white dialog boxes.

On Mavericks. I'm getting white blank dialog boxes in Photoshop CC. Doesn't happen right away. It lets me work for a limited time then I get the blank boxes and can only Force Quit. I don't use Suitcase but I do have a Wacom. iMac.

this is what WACOM responded to me:
Dear Felix,
We are sorry for the problem, but we cannot see such a problem in our tests. The PS menus are displayed
by Photohop and the graphics driver. The tablet is technically not in any way involved in showing any menus.
Nevertheless we have tested it here and unfortunately we cannot reproduce such a problem, neither in
Photoshop Elements nor in Photoshop CC. We have customers complaining about lags in Photoshop under
Maverick, but those customers do not have seen any problem with the display of menus. So not evryone has
problems with displaying the menus, but might depend on graphics cards or other system parameters.
As it is a wrong behaviour of Photoshop and not the tablet, the problem needs to be reported and
reproduced by Adobe. Adobe developers have Wacom tablets and are in close contact with Wacom.
If they can see a problem related to the Wacom driver, they can get direct assistance from us.
So far we can only recommend to update the graphics driver and update Photoshop. Perhaps you need
to uninstall and re-install Photoshop. We also recommend to set Photoshop preferences for the pointer
to ‘standard cursor’ and not to ‘precise cursor’. If it is on a multi-monitor configuration we suggest to disable
the option in Mission Control for ‘displays use separate spaces’. This is known to have problems with some
graphics cards.
Kind regards

Is there a fix for modal dialogs opening behind palettes -cs6 -osx 10.6.8

Is there a fix for modal dialogs open behind palettes in
Photoshop cs6 13.0 (createive cloud update) + OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on MacBook Pro?
( I am using 2 monitors where the second monitor is set to be the menu display. cs4 does not exhibit this bug. )
Toggling the Application Frame off improves the hiding 'feature' but this does not include the desired continuous floating in front of palettes in all circumstances.
An example is Blending Options, then chose Stroke, then chose the Color Picker. After clicking OK, the Blending Options dialog now sits behind the palettes. One trick is to click on another app, then back to cs6 to force a window redraw.
It sure would help me if this could be solved. I am preparing educational videos and this display bug makes things very troublesome.
Thanks for any help. If I find a solution, I will post to this thread so everyone can benefit.

The setting for the graphics check box Does Not make a difference. If I have a new document window open, then add a layer, then open the blending options > drop shadow > edit the color > the chooser dialog opens, and immediately both dialog windows drop behind the palettes AND any document windows.
The same behavior for the Preferences dialog > guides > color.
The quick workaround is to click another app, then back to CS6. A real pain, of course.
It is only a factor when opening a second (child) dialog box.
Other CS6 apps do work correctly (eg. FW AE)
I have yet to get a handle on this. Mac OSX 10.6.8 CS6 13.0 x64
Thanks for your replies, and the long reply time for me was a vaction away from the office.
