Unreadable text in Edit mode

When I open my web pages in Contribute, I can see the text but when I press Edit, the text area goes grey and I can't see the text. Help, please!

Is the text in an include file or something similar?
If you aren't sure, do you have a link to a page that has this problem?

Text Caption appears in Edit Mode but not in Preview Project or Web Browser

I'm using Cp4 and have downloaded Adobe Flash 10 Active X, it's ver 10.1.82.76. I've added a simple text caption with these options:
Timing Display: Rest of slide
Appear after: 2.0 seconds
Transition effect: Fade in only
In: .5 seconds
And Visible is checked
I also have a simple line that I drew with the draw line tool and included an arrow on the end of it.
Everything on the screen works including the click box, the animated text and the failure caption. For some reason the text caption and the arrow are not appearing except in Edit Mode. In Preview Project, they disapper but the click box, failure caption and animated text work fine.
I've rebooted, copied this screen into a new instance of Cp4, re-created these objects on a freshly recorded screen, chosen Order: Bring to Front, created a brand new screen completely from scratch and downloaded the Flash 10 Active X version mentioned above.
They funny thing is, is that the text caption and arrow works fine on other screens in the project. I have 76 screens total.
I'm running Windows XP.
Any suggestions?

Hi there
Can you post a screen capture of what your Timeline looks like?
Odds are your Click Box is pausing in a weird place.
Cheers... Rick

Change background color during text edit mode

THis is a wacky problem...
I have a presentation template. The slide master has white copy in the title and black copy in the body/bulleted list.
When I try to use the template and edit the title copy, the background color for editing that line is white, just like the text, so I can't see what I'm typing. I can't figure out how to change the background color during text edit mode so that I can actually see what I'm typing. Is there a way to make this transparent?
For some reason, the body copy edit works fine: black text edited in either a white or transparent background color.
help!

PS CC 2014 Exiting Text Edit mode when changing to another application

I just updated to PS CC 2014 on my iMac running Mac OS X Yosemite.
I noticed that if I enter Text Edit mode on a text layer and then change over (CMD+Tab or ALT+Tab) to the word processing app (TextEdit or Word) that Text Edit mode will commit.
In PS CS6 (my previous version), it used to be that Text Edit mode would stay on, so that I could change to the text document I want to copy/paste from and then back to PS. I mostly use keyboard shortcuts and rarely use my mouse/trackpad.
My question: Is there a way to get that functionality back? or is this a PS CC 2014 glitch?
Thanks!

Assign focus on text field associated with tree item in edit mode

The JavaFX home page has an example for how to edit the label associated with a tree item using a cell factory (see sample code below). However, if you select a tree item and then either mouse click or select the Enter key to start editing, the text field doesn't get focus even though the startEdit() method invokes textField.selectAll(). I tried invoking textField.requestFocus(), but that didn't work. Is there a way to ensure that the text field gets focus when the tree item is in edit mode?
I'm using JavaFX 2.1 GA version on Windows 7.
Thanks.

When you click on a selected tree item to start the edit process is the text in the text field selected? In my case the text is not selected and the focus is not on the text field so I have to click in the text field before I can make a change, which makes it seem as if the method call textfield.selectAll() is ignored or something else gets focus after method startEdit() executes.

Add to textView texts a border like you are in edit mode

Hello Forum,
I am trying to put a border around the thtmlb:textView texts of form views.
It should look like the form view is in edit mode.
I tried in the thtmlb_stand.css:
/* <thtmlb:textView> tag                                              */
.th-tx-value {
    border-color:       #CCCCCC;
    color:              #FF8726;
But this does not work.
Does someone have an idea on how to change it in the CSS or in coding?
Thanks
Patrik

Hi Patrik,
Try with javascript.
<div id="div1">
<thtmlb:textView text="This is a test"/>
</div>
document.getElementById('div1').firstChild.style.border = "1px solid black";
Regards,
Isaac

Cannot see/edit white text in editor mode

I am using contribute 3.11 and have run into a strange issue.
On a few of my webpages i noticed that when going into editor mode
contribute has a few of my page's text <li> highlighted in
white. (The highlights are only in editor mode and do not publish
as highlighted.) The problem is that my text is white and I cannot
see any of my text to edit unless i manually change the text color
to something dark and then change it back. I thought it might have
been the webpage or css but most of my pages have the same css and
they work fine in editor mode. Also, if i try to edit this in
dreamweaver it works fine so i know its not the page. Is there a
setting in contribute that im missing that highlights text for
editor mode. Any ideas???

Hi folks
Okay, here is a temporary workaround. I use this technique ALL THE TIME. Actually, just yesterday I used it repeatedly for about 5 hours for something I'm building in Captivate.
You will need to have more than just Captivate open. It doesn't really matter what, just that another application is open and maximized to fill the entire screen.
Scrub the playhead in Captivate until you get the image you want.
Without releasing the mouse, carefully press Alt+Tab to switch to the maximized application. Then release the mouse.
Upon returning to Captivate, you should see that the playhead is right where you left it. Somewhat in a state of suspended animation, As if you are still in the midst of scrubbing!
At this point you have some options. You may choose to click Insert and proceed to insert a Caption or a Highlight Box.
The edit area should remain put until you park the playhead.
I discovered this by accident one day and I really hope Adobe never "fixes" it as it's quite useful!
Cheers... Rick

Font rendering in edit mode

When we are making edits with the cs3 verison of contribute
the font will render to an unreadable size when in edit mode. Does
anyone have a clue as to why this is happening?

We had that problem once. Text was normal in the browser and
teeny tiny in edit mode. But changing our pages to use unicode and
xhtml fixed it. We use the following now:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Transitional//EN" "
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xml:lang="en-US" lang="en-US">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=utf-8" />
with font-size of small for normal text and x-small for small
text. xx-small renders smaller in edit mode than in the browser,
but the bigger sizes are to scale in edit mode.
Before we changed that, we were using a hack. Had all our css
fonts a size larger than normal and called that stylesheet using
"scripts/fonts1.css". Had fonts at normal size and called that with
"/scripts/fonts2.css". Fonts2.css was listed second, so that it
would be used by the browser. But Dreamweaver and Contribute used
fonts1.css because they didn't understand the absolute path on the
second stylesheet, so ignored it. Only worked on earlier versions,
though.

Unable to open a view in edit mode

Hi All,
I have a Notes assignment block in the Account Overview page. It contains a text area and an EDIT button to modify the notes. Corresponding view and context node for this block are BP_DATA/NOTES and NOTES respectively. Notes context node is bound to Text context node of the component controller.
The issue is, when agent confirms an account, goes to Overview page and clicks on EDIT button of the Notes block, then, if the block already has some text, then it turns in to EDIT mode. But if Notes section is empty initially, then, on click of EDIT button will not make the view editable.
During debugging, I can see that if notes section is already filled with some text, then there is an entity in the collection wrapper of the NOTES context node(also in the component controller collection wrapper). But if notes section is initially empty, then collection wrapper is empty(both view and component controller context nodes).
My requirement is to make the notes section editable even if there is no text present in it initially. It will be very helpful if someone could give me suggestions on this issue.
Thanks and Regards,
Naren

Hi Nitish,
Thanks for your reply. Infact I only coded the event handler. In the first line, I am reading the entity from the collection wrapper of the context node. If it is bound, only then I can set it in EDIT mode.
ob_entity ?= me->typed_context->notes->collection_wrapper->get_current( ).
IF ob_entity IS BOUND.
Sets the view in EDIT mode
Now, ob_entity is null if there is initially no data in the notes section of the confirmed account. However, if notes is not empty, then, ob_entity is bound and I can set the view to edit mode. This is the issue.
Regards,
Naren

How to get the view in editable mode with OCA button.

Dear Experties,
I am new to CRM WEB UI ,I have got the requirement to develope a view with OCA button on it and when i click on the button it should direct to the second view and it should open with edit mode.
The Source view is table type and target view is form type.
I am able to achieve this but unable to get it in editable mode.
I have added the below code in do_prep_output method but getting dump at the line

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi,
in CRM a context can consist of model nodes, value nodes and, unfortunately, mixed nodes. While mixed nodes implement the same interface as model nodes they can't be casted into a CL_CRM_BOL_ENTITY directly. Instead you need to perform the following conversion in order to get the model node from the mixed node:
DATA: mixed_node     TYPE REF TO cl_bsp_wd_mixed_node,
           entity              TYPE REF TO cl_crm_bol_entity.
mixed_node = me->typed_context->EMAINLEG->collection_wrapper->get_first( ).
entity = ?= mixed_node->if_bsp_wd_ext_property_access~get_model_node( ).
Best,
Christian

Problem with window repaint and scrollbars in edit mode (LabVIEW 8.0.1)

I am running LabVIEW 8.0.1 in Windows XP SP3. For my main VI, I ran into a strange problem about 5 months ago. The front panel window - in both edit mode and run mode - stopped repainting itself on the right side which is most visible when you scroll up and down, but also visible with overlapping windows. Coincident with the repaint problem, both scrollbars look disabled with greyed-out arrows and no boxes in the bars that you can click and drag to scroll the window. The scrollbars still partially work if you hover the mouse over them and roll the mouse wheel but clicking and dragging doesn't work.
The front panel has lots of controls and indicators including tab-control containers and is larger in the horizontal and vertical directions so both scrollbars should be active. But I deleted all elements on the front panel and everything in the block diagram and the problem persists. So the problem is not directly related to some control/indicator display.
I saved the simple VI with this problem (using a wide text line and a tall rounded box to test), then created a new VI and copied the two elements to the new VI. This new VI does not have the repaint and scrollbar problem. The two VIs differ slightly in memory usage and in revision number (the bad one is revision 1785 and the good one is revision 3), but otherwise the two VIs are identical. I attached both VIs to this posting. When you first open the bad VI, you'll see the disabled scrollbars whereas the good VI has active scrollbars. To replicate the repaint problem, scroll the window up and down with your mouse wheel. If it's fine when you first open the VI, click on another window, then click back on the VI window and try the mouse wheel again. This clicking-away-and-back always causes the repaint problem for me. I tried the VIs on two different computers both running Windows XP SP3 and LabVIEW 8.0.1 with identical results.
Here's what I discovered from troubleshooting with the simple VIs:
* scrollbars always disabled
* repaint problem in main window for window widths larger then 680 pixels
* repaint problem in main window menu toolbar for widths larger than 646 pixels
* entire window becomes disabled for window widths larger than 1348 pixels
* can repaint window by minimizing and restoring, but only repaints that one time
* scrollbar boxes sometimes flicker into view but then disappear
* scroll left and right by hovering mouse over horizontal scrollbar and using mouse wheel
I found something similar on this forum (thread: Problem with front panel refresh) - it might be related to the CAR about the panel being offset internally. I don't have access to LabVIEW 8.5 or later and don't plan to upgrade - I haven't tried the trial version as that user did. I could try to copy and paste my entire block diagram to a new VI but the VI is so large I'm afraid something would break, plus I don't want this to happen again in a few months. The problem seemed to occur after a certain number of saves (or revision number). I save backup copies often and when the problem first happened, I was able to go back to a previous version, make the missing changes and save it with no problems, but this only delayed the problem and it came up later. So maybe it's the revision number. It didn't seem related to a particular addition or modification in the front panel or diagram.
The image attached shows the repaint and scrollbar problems in the bad VI.
This brings up a question I have - if this problem is a bug and was fixed in 8.5 and later, is there a way to apply bug fixes to earlier versions? Or do I have to pay for an upgrade to fix such bugs?
Solved!

Not sure what you mean by that: is that URL in an image, or is it actual text?
If it is in an image, then you need to extract the image, edit it with something like Photoshop, then add it back to the PDF.
If the URL is actual text, I suggest that you remove the entire URL, then add the corrected link.

Can't get my audio clip to work in Keynote except in edit mode. I've followed Help instructions to the letter. Any suggestions?

Can't get my audio clip to work in Keynote except in edit mode. I've followed Help instructions to the letter. Any suggestions?

Hi Gary - thanks so much for your help. I'd already done that, but finally stumbled across the answer for my situation. I'm new to iMac and this is the first time I used Keynote, so maybe this info will help someone else along the way - I still haven't found this in any of the Keynote documentation or forums I've read.
My slides were all set up with at least one text box in which the text was animated. The sound was the last thing I added to each slide, exactly following the info in Keynote Help re: adding audio. The audio would work when I tested it in Inspector mode, and also if I switched to soundtrack instead. But not if sound was added to each individual slide. Hmmm. After I submitted the question above, I was running through the (auto) slide show one final time to check text, animation, etc. when I noticed that on just one single slide the sound effect came through, but at the very tail end of the slide. Hmm again. Why?
Through trial & error, the answer was in the animation section - not very intuitive re: audio. The steps to correct the issue were: 1) click on the sound icon embedded in each slide, 2) click on the animation tab in Inspector. 3) There's a drop-down menu there that allows you to reposition the audio clip to the #1 spot (if it was added after other "animation"). This allows the sound to begin before the text animation begins on each slide. Before doing this, I guess the sound was in there but the slides were transitioning before it had a chance to play.
Since this is the first time I've used Keynote and it's the most recent version, I'm not sure if this is a new feature to allow users to choose where within a slide to play a sound effect, but I'm guessing that might be why was unable to find any info on how to solve it. Hopefully this will help others who get stumped.
Thanks again for jumping in to help! I really appreciate it.

E-mail changes to unreadable text when moved to another mailbox folder

Hi,
when moving a correct received e-mail to another mailbox folder, the mail and the attachment will change to unreadable text and it looks like the column below.
On my iPad and iPhone the mail and the attachment is shown correct. If I forward it to my own account again, the mail is also correct shown an my imac27, as long as it resides in the in-box.
On the other hand, there are lots of mails+attachments with "normal" behavier when moved.
Any idea about that?
