Very Slow CURSOR MOVEMENT when drawing Automation

I must've accidentally switched on some "fine" movement mode: when I try to increase or decrease automation - volume, pan, etc. - my mouse moves VERY SLOWLY in very small increments. How do I switch it back to normal, please?
Thanks!

Some tracks it will work properly, other tracks it will not. Any suggestions?
no, i'm not holding down the control key.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
    4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
    11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • GT70 internet very slow and sluggish when waking from sleep

    My GT70 sometimes is very slow and sluggish to respond when it is awoken from sleep mode. Browsers become unresponsive (hyperlinks don't register as links and require multiple clicks to respond) and internet gets very slow. Speedtest.net reports  .50-3mb/s when it is usually 24mb/s and above.  The hdd also thrashes about and won't calm down for what seems like an eternity.
    This only happens when opening the lid after the machine sits idle for several hours. This is fixed by restarting the machine.
    Does anyone know why this laptop would be behaving like this? it is very frustrating and makes sleep mode pretty much useless.
    cheers,

    First thing I would do is get CPU-Z and open that after wake-up and seeing if the CPU is running at the speed expected, or if it's stuck at some lower speed.
    thanks for the reply. will try that next time it happens.

    It also contains a content table.
    The thing is today I had no internet at my house and I noticed that pages '09 was Very SLOW openning and Saving My document. I tried with other documents and they all behave as the one described before.
    I Describe the document because I have seen posts here of slow pages due to document structure. But I dont think this is document related because it happened it all the documents i opened and even just loading pages. My machine was as allways, all the programs running great except Pages.
    I also noticed that when Arrived at work and connected to the internet the Slowliness had ENDED.
    Anyone knows what is happening??

    There are ways to stop this behavior. The best is to use *Little Snitch* which allows you to stop certain connections being made. Basically when the attempt to connect is made, *Little Snitch* intercepts it and lets you choose: Allow, Allow once, Disallow once, Disallow forever.
    4 Users who had *Little Snitch* also noticed that Pages '09 was trying to connect to a web advertising site. Why this happens, ask Apple.

  • MDT Wizard very slow to start when launching Litetouch.vbs

    Hi,
    For a few months, I have an issue when launching Litetouch.vbs, the Wizard initialisation il very slow. Normaly it takes 20 to 30 seconds to launch, now it takes about 4 minutes. The wizard hang 3 times for 1.5 minute. The problem is present on
    many computers here and even on a brand new installed computer.
    Something strange, when the Wizard have been launched a first time, then closed. The next time I launch Litetouch.vbs, I is fast (20 to 30 seconds).
    When I check the LOG : C:\MININT\SMSOSD\OSDLOGS\BDD.log, the lines that seems to hang are :
    <![LOG[Property definition is now = BDD_Welcome_ENU.xml]LOG]!>
    <![LOG[Property definition is now = WelcomeWiz_Initialize.xml]LOG]!>
    <![LOG[Property definition is now = DeployWiz_Definition_ENU.xml]LOG]!>
    Does anyone have an idea what can be the problem ?
    Thanks!
    Dominic

    The lines that are running slow above are when MDT is trying to write to the variables.dat file. There is nothing special about this operation, it's just reading/writing to a text file.
    I still think there is something else on this machine that is causing the litetouch.wsf scripts to run slowly. Perhaps you have some anti-virus programs causing problems.
    Best way to isolate the problem is to load a clean version of windows on a machine (without any corporate apps), and try running MDT litetouch again.

  • How do you disable text cursor movement when scrolling horizontally with a tilt wheel or touchpad; or rather, how do you make these horizontal scrolling actions only scroll horizontally and nothing else?

    Frequently when I use a touchpad or tilt wheel mouse to scroll horizontally, the web page does not scroll at all. Instead, the text cursor moves left or right. If the text box is off-screen, the page will jump to it, losing the spot on the page I was reading. This happens way too often given the sensitivity of touchpads and tilt wheel mice.
    I'd like to just disable the cursor movement function of the horizontal scroll. I don't feel that it is useful and it actually hurts my web browsing experience. I do not want to disable horizontal scrolling though; I just want it to always scroll horizontally and do nothing else.

    You would make this a little easier if you posted a link to the page.
    Most of the jump seems to be some extra padding or margin between the tabs  when you rollover, but I am not able to find it.  Is there any other css that is governing this page? I did remove a couple of <p></p> set of tags you had  and it improved the jump, but it is still there.
    If the page is live, run it through the validator http://validator.w3.org/ , fix whatever errors it finds, if you still have the jump, post a link to the page and the issue might get found.

  • Very slow garbage collection when overriding finalize

    I am working on a 3D visualization program, and smooth animation is very important; long pauses for GC is unacceptable.
    GC is normally very fast, but when I tried to override finalize() to do some necessary cleanup this is no longer the case. I wrote a simple test application to verify this behaviour (included below), and ran it with java -verbose:gc.
    Here is the output when commenting out finalize():
    [GC 511K->248K(1984K), 0.0035095 secs]
    [GC 760K->265K(1984K), 0.0016098 secs]
    [GC 777K->265K(1984K), 0.0010843 secs]
    [GC 777K->265K(1984K), 0.0009727 secs]
    [GC 777K->265K(1984K), 0.0006170 secs]
    [GC 777K->265K(1984K), 0.0005789 secs]
    [GC 777K->265K(1984K), 0.0005970 secs]
    [GC 777K->265K(1984K), 0.0006351 secs]
    And here is the same when overriding finalize():
    [GC 511K->285K(1984K), 0.0042582 secs]
    [GC 797K->797K(1984K), 0.0120764 secs]
    [GC 1309K->1260K(1984K), 0.0106945 secs]
    [GC 1772K->1772K(2368K), 0.0124083 secs]
    [Full GC 1772K->900K(2368K), 0.0306330 secs]
    [GC 1412K->1412K(2080K), 0.0106363 secs]
    [GC 1924K->1920K(2464K), 0.0111980 secs]
    [Full GC 1920K->908K(2464K), 0.0318079 secs]
    Can someone explain what is going on? I assume Java is doing quite a lot of work just in order to run my finalize, but this seems a bit much; the GC time is two orders of magnitude slower!
    I am running SUN Java 1.4 under Linux.
    My test application:
    class C
        int i;
        int[] a = new int[20];
        public C(int i)
            this.i = i;
            for (int j=0; j<a.length; j++) a[j] = i*j;
        protected void finalize() {
            if (i > 200) return;
    class gctest
        public static void main(String[] args)
            C[] c = new C[500];
            for (int i=0; i < 100000; i++) {
                c[i%c.length] = new C(i);
                long l = System.currentTimeMillis()+1;
                while (System.currentTimeMillis() < l);
    }Thanks.

    Let me keep it simple. gussev is correct.
    Do NOT use finalize. I don't know what that other poster read that suggested in rare cases finalize is needed. Finalize can never be usefull for anything but hints at when your class has been "finalized."
    You must use something from the java.lang.ref package. It has been said that finalize is not guaranteed to run. For you I am assuming it means a memory leak. If it does not mean a memory leak because when the java process is done, the c++ process will always be done too, then you can use finalize, but its not recommended. Yes, when your object has a finalize method defined, it will delay its collection. Normally if their is no finalize method the GC will just collect the object, but if their is a finalize, the GC has to consider that this may take time, so it can postpone GC until it feels it has time, or it has no choice. looking at your output and the addition of the word "Full GC" to the second set, I am assuming the GC has postponed as long as it can and when it finally runs, its collecting a nice size set of objects.
    Suck it up, bite the bullet, take courage, do what you gotta do, etc. etc... Forget about finalize :D I think a WeakReference is likely most appropriate for your application. You may need to make your own thread that cleans up these objects though, and give it a lower priority than your drawing thread. In essence you will be determining when finalize is run so to speak as opposed to letting the GC, and you are smarter than the GC, or at least thats the idea :)
    This should get you started

  • Cursor moves when in tablet mode (screen touching the pointing stick on an X220T)

    Hi there,
    when I put my X220T in tablet mode, the screen moves just enough to move the pointing stick in the middle of the keyboard to cause the cursor to move. I can't rest my hand on the screen without causing the cursor to move all the way accross the screen.
    Am I missing a driver that would disable the nub when the screen is turned over it, or is this a design oversight? I've got the latest BIOS.
    Cheers,
    Kimmo

  • Indesign CS4 Very Slow - can move objects easily anymore!

    We are running CS4 - Even the most simple files are difficult open.  When opened, it is hard to move objects or type any characters. All we get is the Apple pinwheel.  We are running OS x 10.5 with 4 GB of memory.  We dont know what to do-please advise.

    I use CS4, mostly InDesign and Photoshop. I recently upgraded my iMac from 1 GB to 3GB of RAM, and everything was awesomely fast. CS4 worked well. Then I updated my system from 10.6.1 to 10.6.2, and immediately both InDesign & Photoshop developed a pause approx. every 5 seconds. No matter what I’m doing within either program, no matter how large or small the file, no matter how many or few applications I have open, I still get the very same beachball-spinning pause with every little thing I try to do, always. It’s very frustrating, I am having a lot of trouble getting any work done. The performance is way worse with 3 GB RAM than it was with just 1!
    I am not having this problem with the rest of my applications within my system, such as Mail and Safari, and I haven't really noticed it with Acrobat. It does seem that the update caused this with CS4. I've tried a couple of things, such as zapping the PRAM and closing a bunch of fonts but nothing has made the slightest difference.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • Webpage very slow to load when going to the ACE

    Hello,
    I was wondering if anyone else has experienced the same sort of behaviour with an ACE 4710 version A3 (2.5).
    When trying to connect to a webpage on port 443, the pages over 1 minute to download fully. I have timed the download using the plug-in
    firefox. What is strange is that the browser successfully makes the connection, 200OK etc,  but each 'get' takes a very long time to transfer. If I go directly to the server and don't pass via the ACE the page takes between .7 and 1 second to transfer.
    Is there a way to speed this transfer up, does anyone know what the issue could be? I am currently looking at connection maps to see if this could help.
    For information, there are quite a few .js files being transfered.
    Any ideas or thoughts very much appreciated.
    Kind regards,

    Hi,
    There is no clear evidence of the problem but this could also be due to lot of retransmits causing slowness.
    Can you try the command below and see if it improves?
    host1/C1(config-parammap-conn)# set tcp wan-optimization rtt 0
    Then apply this parammap to the policy-map.
    Regards,
    Siva

  • 2 Page doc = very slow, almost unworkable when typing Slow slow slow...

    Did some research, latest was posted in FEB.
    What is the deal with this? The doc has some images, but they are small jpegs. It should NOT have a 1200 millisecond, or 1.2 second delay when typing.
    Its becoming very difficult to work with.
    Any ideas?

    You're not the only one with this problem. There is a long discussion, with some proposed solutions, in this thread (and searching for "slow" in the Pages forum will bring up other threads as well).

  • Cursor movement when editing suggestion for future

    It would be nice if there was a way to move cursor over left or right when editing, trying to use your fingernail to get to the right spot takes more effort than it's worth

    Tell Apple then http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    Personally I've had no difficulty as I tend to 'roll' my fingertip for finer movement rather than slide it.

  • Very slow PDF generation when conditional text is hidden in FM 9.0

    I am working on 96-page chapter of a larger book. A 7-page section of the chapter needs to be hidden until the next release, so I hid it with conditional text. After doing this, the "Save as PDF" printing process goes from taking 6-7 seconds to taking several minutes. If I unhide the conditional text in the same session, printing is very quick again.
    I have no problem generating very PDF files with the PDF printer in other applications (Word, PowerPoint). The issue is specific to FrameMaker and the use of conditional text. What might be causing this?
    I am using FrameMaker 9.0p255 and Distiller 9.0.

    Hi Jeff,
    These were good suggestions to try. Saving the document first has no effect on PDF generation.
    However, I did find that printing to the Adobe PDF printer remains fast when the conditional text is hidden. That's quite an interesting finding! I did also notice that these two methods of PDF generation aren't identical:
    "Save as PDF" opens an Adobe Distiller window, while printing to the Adobe PDF printer opens a different "Creating Adobe PDF" progress box (looks like it's from the printer driver itself).
    "Save as PDF" generates a 1188k PDF file, while printing to the Adobe PDF printer generates a 1049k PDF file.
    "Save as PDF" defaults to placing the PDF in FrameMaker's working directory, while printing to the Adobe PDF printer defaults to saving to the last place to saved a printed PDF file (awkward when working with multiple directories, as I often do).
    When I do a "Save as PDF", FrameMaker does still spool to the PDF printer. It is this spooling that takes a long time. Once spooling is complete, then the Distiller window opens and the PDF is created very quickly.
    I would still like to get "Save as PDF" working since it knows where to place the PDF file. No solution to the runtime yet, but at least there is progress...
