Ugh!!! Does half wonky cursor in text lines indicate bad RAM??!!

I know I posted earlier regarding my recent adventure in installing new crucial 16gb ram in new Mac Mini but now I am really concerned. As I posted in an earlier discussion I had a little trouble getting the bottom module in and used 2 of the 4 nodes on the top of the module, as leverage to try and push it in. I eventually realized that the modules go in at an angle and there was no need to touch the nodes at all. I don't think I damaged anything but with delicate electronics you never know. Anyway I finally got the ram installed and booted up the machine and it seemed to work fine. I opened up several programs at once (iphoto, imovie, safari, messages, mail, app store). I switched tasks back and forth and then while in safari started a discussion in the apple support communities. The cursor in text lines showed up as half a cursor. Could this be an indicator of a bad install or a damaged module? I am currently using mac mini with dell 1920x1080 24inch lcd monitor (2009). I know this is a repeat post and it is a little long but if anyone has any info on this based on what I described I'd really appreciate it.

Hi again, tough to say if it's RAM or not. Did you ever run the Rember test?
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.

Drawing a curved line using the pen tool, dragging the text cursor over the line but will only give me a small area to write in, in-between a circle and a circle with a cross in?

If you change your tool to the "Direct Selection Tool" (A) then you should be able to adjust the area for you to type in...

Does Indesign have a text line tool?

I am thinking of moving to Indesign from quark, and I have been trying to find the equivalent to quarks text line tool, is this available?
Thx
Brad

Hi Rodney
Thankyou for your promt reply, I have since found the line tool and with the type in a path tool it seemed to work OK, the only difference I found was you cannot grab the handles on the line path and control it's length or angles after the fact? I had to use the propery manager.
Thank you again for your time

Dropping characters in text lines (FM8)

I'm experiencing problems with dropped characters in text lines. Also, I've noticed the history doesn't seem to log all changes made to text lines. The problem can be duplicated as follows:
1. Open a new portrait blank document and add an anchored frame. (recorded in history)
2. Add a text line inside the anchored frame from the Tools Palette. In the text line, type "1234" (recorded in history).
3. Save the file. (history cleared)
4. Click the cursor after the "4" in the text line and hit a carriage return to create a new text line. (not recorded in history)
5. In the new text line, type "1234567890"(not recorded in history)
6. Save the file.
7. Refresh the screen (cntl l) and the second text line now reads "12346890" (dropped the 5 and 7). Printing the file in steps 5 and 6 also show the 5 and 7 are missing.
8. Add a new text line inside the anchored frame from the Tools Palette. In the text line, type "12345" (recorded in history).
9. Save the file. (history cleared)
10. Click the cursor after the "5" in the text line from step 8 and hit a carriage return to create a new text line. (not recorded in history)
11. In the new text line, type "1234567890"(not recorded in history)
12. Save the file.
13. Refresh the screen and the second text line now reads "12345790" (dropped the 6 and 8).
Has anyone else seen this problem (or can duplicate it)?
Also, can someone explain why some of the steps above are not recorded in the history.
FYI, while trying to find a repeatable sequence to demonstrate this problem, Frame crashed on me.
I'm running a trial version of Frame 8, version 8.0p273, with XP Pro, on a fairly new Dell Optiplex 740.
Thanks,
Jeff Schweiner

Hi Jeff,
I have now tried what you're doing and get the same result!
I have also added a text line with characters a to z. After saving ad doing a ctrl-l, the character after the last one, and the character second after that, in the previous line, was removed. (I first typed "abcd", saved, made a new line, typed "abcdefghi", saved, made ctrl-l, the characters "e" and "g" were removed).
I have the same version of FrameMaker + SGML, but this is a licensed version, running on Win 2000.

Text lines in the BW query variables screen

Hi gurus.
The bw users ask me to display some text lines in the BW query variables prompt.
The text lines are saved in a custom table.
The only idea that I've got is to use customer exit text variables and fill them in CMOD when I_step = 1.
I don't like this solution (I should have more the 10 text lines and so I have to mantain more than 10 Text variables) but I can't find any other solution.
Any new idea or solution?
Is there in Bex enviroment a functionality (that I don't know) for doing somenthing like this ?
Thanks fo any help.
S.

Hi,
to resolve it you should create all the prompts in the BW query. You are using a query with 2 parameters and then a dynamic list of values. the dynamic list of values can only work after you entered the other values.

My group box is causing problems when searching for a text line in a text file.

I am developing a booking system, so for this I need to ensure that no two clients can book the same appointment slot. So, on testing my code which prevents double booking, the system doesn't seem to find the text line being searched for in the text file
when it (purposefully) should.
I have tried isolating the problem using breakpoints, and I've found that when the 'SearchLine' (referring to my code below) does not include the 'TimeComboBox.text' piece and instead this value is written into the code, the system is able to find the SearchLine
without any problems. But, when assigning the group box's value to a variable and using this in the SearchLine instead, or without even using a loop and just doing a simple line by line search, the program can't find this line of text in the file.
I'm lost for ideas. I have tried everything I can think of. Could anyone make any suggestions as for what is the problem with my group box? (I'll explain the code beneath it).
'Setting the value of the SearchLine (which is a String)
SearchLine = String.Concat(DateTimePicker1.Value.Date & " " & TimeComboBox.text)
Dim FoundApp As Boolean
Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(basicfilepath & "Text Files\Client Booked Appointment DatesTimes.txt")
FoundApp = False
'Reading the file's contents and checking for the SearchLine
Do While (objReader.Peek() <> -1) or (FoundApp = True)
If (TextLine = SearchLine) Then
'Line contains SearchLine. Appointment already exists.
FoundApp = True
Else
'Line doesn't contain SearchLine. Carry on searching.
Msgbox("Line not found.")
End if
Loop
Explanation
When the line is searched for, the 'FoundApp' value must be set to 'True' when it is found. If it is not found, it remains false.
To isolate the problem, I've displayed the SearchLine in a message box in the past to make sure that the correct line of text is being searched for.
In basic terms, my program is searching for the exact line of text which exists in the text file, but for some reason it is not coming up as 'Found'. The error occurs when the group box's value is used. The text file which is being read is
definitely correct. Please help, any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you

Hi
It would appear that your snippet doesn't actually read the file at all.
Here is my test which works fine.
Option Strict On
Option Infer Off
Option Explicit On
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim SearchLine As String = "18:09:38 : XTaskSettings.Load PARAMS: begin"
Dim FoundApp As Boolean = False
Dim TextLine As String = Nothing
Dim objReader As New IO.StreamReader(Application.StartupPath & "\Data\Report Q1.txt")
FoundApp = False
Do While (objReader.Peek() <> -1) Or (FoundApp = True)
' this was missing
TextLine = objReader.ReadLine
If (TextLine = SearchLine) Then
'Line contains SearchLine. Appointment already exists.
FoundApp = True
MsgBox("Line found.")
Else
'Line doesn't contain SearchLine. Carry on searching.
MsgBox("Line not found.")
End If
Loop
End Sub
End Class

Why does Preview automatically resize the text box to cut off the last character of added text? How do I fix it?

Why does Preview automatically resize the text box to cut off the last character of added text? How do I fix it?
I use the Tools > Annotate > Add Text feature, and when I click away after adding text, it automatically changes the text box size such that the last letter -- or last word -- gets bumped off into an invisible line below it, forcing me to manually adjust every single text box. It is highly annoying when trying to complete PDF forms (e.g. job applications).
It appears to be a glitch, quite honestly, an error resulting from Apple's product design. Has it been fixed in the new operating system (for which they want $30)?
I would very much appreciate any help you can provide! Thank you for your time.

Dynamic Text line spacing issue

Hi, in my Flash movie (CS3) I want all text to be selectable.
When I select 'static' and 'selectable', I have the following issues:
- Some of the text does not fit into the available (scrolling required to see the end of text)
- This is larger than when in Flash.
When I use 'dynamic' text, I have the following issues:
- The line spacing displays different in the exported swf than it does in Flash (line spacing is much greater in the swf)
- I am a designer so the appearance / positioning of the text is crucial
Is this common?
Is there any way to make the text in Flash and swf appear consistent?
Many thanks

First of all, maybe you don't know it, but static text can't be made selectable even in theory. Therefore what you're seeing when you click "Selectable" option, is a dynamic text. As for line spacing, I don't see any difference between Flash CS4 and resulting SWF. The only strange thing I've found is the necessarity to enlarge the bounding rectangle when I change the text type from static to dynamic. Otherwise bottom line of text just disappears. It looks like a bug. Also I don't see "Autosize" option being working here in CS4. I doubleclick on bottom right corner of the text block, small square is transformed into a diamond, and bounding rect is "autosized" around the text block. But the bottom text line disappears just as I deselect the text object. All it looks some stange...

Yes.

Microsoft Office does it also. So does Libre Office, Open Office and just about any full function word processor app.

What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
From your description "little circle with a line in it", that sound like a symbol when you are trying to do a cannot do operation.
What exactly are you doing in your edit activities when you see this circle with a line in it? Is it at the end of the mouse cursor?
Can you post a screenshot of it?
If my first impression of what this is happens to be correct, then "How do I get rid of it?" answer comes from

Invisible cursor in text form field with black background

The text input cursor (the vertical line that blinks) isn't visible when typing in a textarea form field that has a black background. In other browsers, the cursor alternates black and white so you can see it when it's white. But in Safari, I don't see anything. Is this a bug?

here's a sample page:

Sales Order Text Lines in SAP Query

I have a requirement to output several text lines into a SAP query based around sales orders.
I have included some code to read the details into my query and get no syntax errors, however the report gives a blank output for each of the text fields included, despite there definitely being some text with the specified attribute ID and text object in the table STXL.
Where am I going wrong?
Please find the coding below for one of the text field I'm trying to extract:
TABLES:STXL.

Hi -
Please check in debuging.
check the value of TDNAME correctly populated with sales order no and sales order item.
You can cross check with the table STXH with TDNAME and see if any entries is available for TDID 'ZAT2' as your case.
Here are sample code.
DATA :    lv_tdname TYPE tdobname,
                 lw_line TYPE tline,
                li_line TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF tline.

How to put text line just for a moment ?

Hi,
Do you know how to put a text line just for one photo? I mean I have more photos in one portfolio but i need the text line to be seen just for one photo for the others no.
Thank you in advance.

You can use composition for this , where you can insert text frame for that specific photo where you want to add some description and for rest dont use text frame.
Thanks,
