Unable to select text in cell with mouse?

Hi everyone,
I am not sure where to log this one, let me know if you think there is a better place for this question.
A user is unable to highlight the text in the cells/input box using her mouse. She could do that last week so something has changed, certainly on her PC. I don't think the problem is purely SAP related as if I use my SAP account when logged on to  her PC, with her AD credentials I get the same problem. When logged on with my AD credentials I don't get the issue.
Selecting the text using the keyboard by selecting shift+arrows (left or right) works; the text remains hilghlighted. When using the mouse we left click on the left of the text in the cell and hold to highlight the entire text, for example, and let go when reaching the end of the word; at that point the text doesn't remain highlighted.
I have checked OSS Notes, Microsoft (XP) forums and user setting on the PC (Accessibility options) and so far have not found anything describing the same problem. I woudl apreciate if anyone coudl suggest anything?
More info: SAP GUI 7.10 Level 14, ERP 6.0 (Support Stack 18), transaction used for testing ME2N but the issue occurs in all cells. OS = XP Pro, Office 2003 SP3 installed (FilterKeys off and "Typing Replaces Selection" ok in Word/Outlook, start up program only Oulook and SAP GUI)
Thank you
Coco

Hi,
I guess the option "Quick cut and Paste" in SAP GUI was enabled and that the reason when you select any text with mouse it does not highligjted but gets copied automatically. If you dont want this then you can uncheck the tick mark.

  • Why am i unable to select text on certain websites?

    I am unable to select text and copy it on this website- http://www.meritnation.com/ after logging in. I have tried all the possible methods I knew but all went in vain. Also the right-click menu that usually appears on other websites is different. please help me solve this problem.

    Some web sites shut off the right click options. Have you tried <Cntl> V ?

    Stops javascript annoyances such as forbidden right click,

  • MULTIPLE SELECTION of Jlist only with mouse

    I want select many items of Jlist but I need make only with the mouse.
    I cann�t use keyboard.
    I don�t know how do it, because I selected
    listSelectionModel.MULTIPLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION
    but I need do a click in the first item and press key shif + click in the last item.
    but I must do a program only with the mouse.
    how I can make it?
    thanks

    hi,
    heres a quick and dirty version:
    set an ListSelectionModel at your List that overwrites the DefaultListSelectionModel class like this:
    ListSelectionModel selectionModel = new DefaultListSelectionModel() {
    int anchor = -1;
    public void setSelectionInterval(int index1, int index2) {
    if( index1 == index2 ){
    if( anchor = -1 ) anchor = index1;
    super.setSelectionInterval(anchor, index2);
    }else {
    super.setSelectionInterval(index1, index2);
    public void setValueIsAdjusting(boolean b) {
    super.setValueIsAdjusting(b);
    if(!b) anchor = -1;
    as long as single list entries should be selected, while the mouse is dragged ( valueIsAdjusting ), the entry is added to a selection range instead.
    I didnt compile the code, so maybe there are some syntax struggles.
    if you want to do it the hard and stoney way you have to implement a new ui class, that accomplish your needs.

  • Why does my 2012 Retina Macbook Pro's trackpad become extremely unresponsive after I plug in a USB mouse? The only trackpad command that works is the left click, I can't select text or press down and hold the trackpad to do anything else until I restart.

    My trackpad becomes REALLY unresponsive after I plug in a USB mouse. It seems like the cursor is broken and stuck on a permanent left click or something. I'm unable to select text or do any other sort of action that requires you to hold down the trackpad and drag. Mouse icons don't update as I scroll over different text and links. The trackpad is usually stuck in this unresponsive state until I restart my macbook which is extremely inconvenient if I have to do this after every time I use a USB mouse. Are there any fixes to this?

    Melophage,
    I don't leave it outside. Usually when I leave it overnight, I do so under the same conditions as when I leave it plugged in, and this morning I only left it for about an hour in my house and it did the same thing.
    LowLuster,
    I actually have a new hard drive I bought a while back and have been meaning to switch it out with the one that's in there now. I'll follow your instruction, then make the switch I had planned on and report back.

  • Selecting Text/Cells (MS Office)

    I want to create Microsoft Office "Try It - assessment" simulations and i am wondering if "clicking and dragging to select text/table cells-columns etc, and the resulting highlighted text/table" is supported. How can i do this in Captivate 5.5?  (I also have ELS 2.5)
    If it is not directly supported is there a work around? i.e. check for an inital mouse click and then a mouse release action, use a widget, create it in Flash (i have limited experience in Flash so a URL showing this would help).

    Thanks for help and good tips.
    I found another workaround for selecting text in Word, selecting cells in Excel  - i'll display a button called "Shift" to mirror the action of the Shift key on the keyboard. Click where you want to start your selection, click the Shift button (show it in down state), click where you want to end the selection - text is highlighted.
    I can also use the Shift button and Copy command to copy formula in Excel..
    (The following forum discussion outlines why "Shift/Control and Click" are NOT supported in Captivate - http://forums.adobe.com/message/3957662#3957662).
    I will have to use the Full Motion Recording for mouse down and drag actions in Word and Excel. And the Flash option.... well with my limited experience that will have to wait for another day : )

  • How can I select text within a page?

    Using Firefox on an N900. I cannot select text or interact with google maps. Like you can by going into cursor mode on the N900 native browser. How is this done in Firefox?
    == Extensions installed: ==
    ADB, youtube enabler + defaults

    I'm using the nightly and I have yet to find a way of selecting text. This is really annoying! Great work on the browser though.

  • Can't select text and scroll when using Word

    Recently I have been unable to select text and scroll down the page using two fingers, while in a word document.This is only happening in Word, so far no other programs. Does anyone have an idea of how to turn on or off this feature?

    I cant scroll below or above viewable section of text in any of my Macbooks, iMac, Mac Mini. Never have been able to, never could, except by pressing the arrow keys whilst selecting, to move up or down.
    Its stupid
    I dont have flash installed (never will do since my first virus of video ad sound running in background from Cnet was downloaded and kept returning until i deinstalled flash).
    I believe that this is a universal issue because none of my Macs can scroll out of screen when selecting text, which as a webmaster and developer, is a pain in the butt
    My issue is not in word documents, its in everything

  • Question about selection text.

    when program is created and need to be transported to production does selection texts always go with it?

    Hi Kishore...
    The selection texts will not automatically go with the program...Suppose u have a TR for a program ..
    Now wen u create selection texts using goto-> textelements-> selection texts then activate  you will be asked for A new TR. Then u can transport the same..
    Reward points if the abv is useful....

  • Selection texts while transporting

    When a program is created and need to be transported to prodn , does selection texts always go with it?

    It depends on how you have created a transport request. if you have created a transport request for
    R3TR PROG  ZXXXXXXXXXXXXX
    Then it would move all the objects such as texts, screens, text elements, selection texts etc.
    If you have created the transport request only as
    R3TR REPS ZXXXXXXXXXXX
    then it will only transport the source code and not the dependent objects. Hope it is clear.

  • When i use trackpad to select text, i must hit keyboard keys twice

    i've been using my trackpad successfully for months, but since the last update i've found that when using it to select text by swiping with three fingers, i must hit keyboard keys TWICE to successfully edit text. For example, if i swipe across a sentence and then hit the "delete" button, NOTHING. i have to hit "delete" twice. same with command c, command x, and so on. this is creating real havoc, and happens in nearly all of my applications, including word, dreamweaver, and indesign.
    however, this does NOT happen when i select text by tapping.
    also, it does NOT happen here in chrome.
    i've reset my pram/nvram, confirmed that nothing is checked in my accessibility settings, and reconnected the trackpad. please help...i was just growing to love that dang trackpad.
    thanks...annette

    Any or all of the following third-party system modifications may be contributing to your problem:
    SX-Virtual Link
    Soundflower
    If the panic is recurrent, I suggest you uninstall them, one at a time, according to the developers' instructions, to see whether you can identify which one is at fault. A conflict between modifications may be involved. Reboot and test after each uninstallation.
    Back up all data before making any changes.

  • Scrolling and selecting text with a bluetooth mouse. (Possible bug?)

    I currently have an Apple Keyboard and Magic Mouse hooked up to my Playbook. They work very well, the implementation is incredible. However, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to scroll with the the mouse. It really limits the PB since if I hook it up to my television I cannot scroll unless I have the PB near me. Has anyone gotten this to work or is this something we are hoping to get in a future update? Aslo, is there a way to select text and bring up the copy/paste menu without having to use the touch screen? I can select text by holding shift / arrow keys on the keyboard but am unable to perform any actions without having to use the touchscreen.
    Thanks!

    Hold on there, @jnko -- are you saying you can scroll with the mouse (as in, use the virtual scroll wheel), or are you saying you can use the mouse to click on the document in, say, Word To Go, and drag it to make the screen scroll?  I can only do the latter, and, like you, can't scroll at all in the web browser.  Stinks that this wasn't fixed with the last update...

  • Can no longer select text in email template or read only field with mouse using IE or Firefox?

    Hi Guys,
    I can no longer select text in email template or read only field using my mouse in IE or Firefox anymore. We are using CRM 2011 rollup 18 applied with IE 11 and the latest version of Firefox. We only applied roll up 18 in Feb when this issue began.

    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    (You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first) using either of these. While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
    These features rely on JavaScript, and it sounds as though you have scripting enabled if you get (the wrong) color changes. Some add-ons might alter the way scripts operate, so a standard diagnostic to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings) is to try Firefox's Safe Mode.
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode."
    If those features work correctly, this points to one of your extensions or custom settings as the problem.
    To also disable plugins, you can use this page:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Plugins category
    Any change?

  • Text Area steals Focus from Text Field when selected with mouse

    I have created a very simple form with 4 spry validation elements here :: http://octopusdesign.net/contactus.html
    When I attempt to select the 'Your Email' text field using the mouse, focus is grabbed by the text area above it.
    It is only possible to get focus on the 'Your Email' text field by using tab.
    My best guess is that this is a bug in the framework.
    In addition to updating my spry libraries to 1.6 from 1.4 I've tried the following things::
    Reordering the elements in the form.
    Creating the elements in a different order.
    Replacing the validation elements with ordinary elements.
    None of these fixed the problem.
    Strangely, if I remove the validation text area there is no problem.
    If anyone can shed some light on this I would really appreciate it.
    Wisdom gratefully received.
    Chris

    Furthermore ::
    I've tried to reconstruct the form from scratch and discovered that if you have a validation text field and a validation text area in any order on the form, selecting the 2nd element with the mouse always results in the first element stealing the focus.

  • I can't select text with the mouse

    When I click anywhere in a text string the cursor automatically goes to the 'home' position. If I try to select text by scrolling across text with the mouse button down the cursor also returns to the 'home' position and no text is selected. Any ideas?
