VoiceOver Causes this blue ring thing around Buttons and menus

I accidentally turned on VoiceOver today, and right after disabling it, I realized that it's been causing menus and buttons to have blue rings around them. I know it doesn't seem that big, but it's annoying to me, so if someone knows how to turn them off, that would be über-nice
I've included some screen shots:

One from Safari:

Please note that these are not the only places that the 'blue ring' comes up.
Thanks in advance!

Actually, I think you are ok. VO puts a black outlune or box around objects I think what you are seeing is a normal function of the OS which is controlled by the Tab key. You can chose "all controls" or" text boxes or and lists only" by pressing the control-F7 key combination. Or by choosing System Preferences >> Keyboard & Mouse >> Keyboard shortcuts and see "Full keyboard access", at the bottom of the window. I don't think you can disable that, just choose one or the other.

  • Black border around buttons and boxes

      My browser displays a thick black rectangle around buttons and dropboxes. It affects webkit browsers, luakit and surf. This is a stripped down atom desktop. There is gtk 2 2.24, libwebkit 1.8.3, standard xorg, xf86-video-intel 2.20.5 (i915), and cairo, all from the arch repo, and linux-ck-atom 3.5.3 from AUR. I have cairo but no mesa and no compiz. Adding mesa doesn't fix it. But it's possible I removed some important graphic library. Any suggestions how I might fix it?

    Thanks for the suggestions. The accelerators don't make a difference, neither does today's new intel driver. I've had the same version of cairo since June (1.12.2-1 -> 1.12.2-2) and this problem is recent. As a last resort I'll try to find an old cairo package. But maybe I should look into libwebkit or gtk first.

        I totally understand the need of reliable service, ehsender! Lets figure it out. What is your zip code? Did this issue just start? Which device do you have? Do you know if anyone else is experiencing issues?
    Please share details so that I can help.

  • I can't load correctly buttons and menus in my wordpress admin page

    I can't load correctly buttons and menus in my wordpress admin page.
    For example, the buttons about upload images, videos and music are too close together and they don't work.
    In the right and left menues icons appear partially and out of place, sometimes one over the other.
    It works in IE.

    Stan -
    Thanks again for the simple but valuable tip.
    I'm just going to repeat the relevant sections from my previous post with the screenshots this time:
    Below you'll see a snip of how my current folder structure appears. It's identical to yours, except there are no button files in the General Folder. Since you were kind enough to include a file name, I did a search on that specific one and it's nowhere to be found on my hard drive. Hmmm....
    I've seen others remark on how... "challenging".... Adobe's instructions can be sometime. I'll admit to having the same feeling when I was trying to download and install all the content files and the 7-zip stuff. Is the answer somehow that I screwed up that?  Note the 7-zip folder right above the Adobe folder. Here's a screen shot of that expanded folder contents:
    Does that look like you think it should? Have I not installed or extracted something correctly?
    Finally, the only other thing I can think of to give you as much info as you might need is to include a screenshot of where the "Functional Content" stuff got saved. Adobe's instructions about this (if I recall correctly) were that it did NOT have to be installed anywhere specific, but you then had to go into Encore (& Premiere) and through preferences point to this stuff, which I believe I did. But I don't see any button type files in these anyway.
    Other thoughts or advice?
    Thanks!

  • Operating system Mac OS 10.6.8. Recently upgraded to CS6 Encore. There are no buttons and menus in Library at bottom right of screen, so cannot put a button on the menu in Flowchart

    How can I get buttons and menus in Library in the Encore 6 screen? There are none showing in my just upgraded Encore 6, when they were there in Encore CS5.

    Richard, the link you provided is correct, but it involves a two step process that first gives only a few templates, then requires another download that gives all the library.
    I think most users who ask the question just want the second step, which is all that is presented here:
    Encore Help | Download full library content/functional content
    When I first started recommended that option, I expected users to ask for the "other" templates, but in Encore, that includes "styles" (that do not appear to be used much) and flash export templates (that are also not used much). So I go straight for the full library that I know the users wants.
    The other oddity is for a user upgrading from CS5.5 (EN 5.1), and keeping 5.1 installed, the installer (your link) involves the bizarre step of DELETING the 5.1 library.
    For Premiere CC users looking to get PR templates/styles, they must use your link.

  • Thick blue stroke line around object and text boxes

    After I unlock and ungroup, there is a thick blue stroke around text and object boxes. Does anyone know what this is and how to get rid of it? Thanks!

    Click with the selection tool on that object. The blue line will go away.
    Meanwhile, it's there to let you choose a "key object" around which you can align objects.

  • Whenever using "wake on nib" my buttons and menus become non-responsive.

    I have a small app containing three applescripts. One of the scripts uses "wake on nib" and the other uses "wake on open". When these lines of code are active the program works except the "cancel" button "widgets" and the menu become unresponsive within the application. If I comment "--" out the "wake on nib" and "wake on open" the buttons, widgets, and menu work, but then the application does not of course. I have tried to build this application in the account that is going to use it (thinking it's a permissions thing) and that did not fix it either...... however, if I use the application in "root" in works (minus the fact that the script is using "whoami" and "root" is not correct but the buttons, widgets, menus work in root).
    Any clue how to fix this please?
    Dave

    Resolved. Problem was in my delay in the code.
    Thank you!

  • Strange... Black boxes around buttons and files

    Anyone seen this issue or know how to fix it?
    Sometime last week, black boxes started appearaing around files or folders on my desktop, buttons in the finder, and file names in open windows. It is always one box at a time (whatever I select or mouse over.)
    The box is 2-3 pixels thick and has a white stroke around it. It's not effecting performance, but it is really anoying.
    Thanks in advance!

    Ugh, sounds like your video card may be going.
    If you create a new, clean & fresh account and log in, do you get the same thing?

  • Black box around buttons and windows

    My 19 month old daughter has learned to climb up to the desk, and OPEN my laptop! Before I could stop her, or turn on AlphaBaby, she had pressed a number of keys, and now a little black box highlights various things in the programs I have open. As I type this, the red circle at the top left to close the window has a box around it. When I was trying to find how to turn it off in system preferences, the bar at the top with the arrows and Show All button had a box around it. In Mail my inbox window has a box around it.
    Any ideas as to how to turn it off?
    Thanks!
    Heidi

    Your daughter shows great promise!
    Go to System Preferences/Universal Access and turn OFF Voice Over.
    (She pressed Command-F5 !)

  • Black Frame appearing around buttons and folder icons

    Hi there:
    A strange thing has started to happen on my Mac. I am running 10.4.9 on a 20inch Intel Chip iMac. When I select a folder etc it becomes framed by a black box. See photos below. For the second jpeg please look in the upper left corner for the black framing box.
    Please advise

  • [SOLVED]buttons and menus tearing (gnome3)

    this is my 1-st post so it might not be in the right place or the right format (i apologize in advance)
    some of the menus and buttons are tearing in my gnome-shell, also some web elements change color (firefox)
    the tearing seems random to me (not only at mouse hover or activation)
    movies work fine
    http://www.tiikoni.com/tis/view/?id=d8347ab
    (screenshot to better explain 'tearing',I chose a random installed program where it's more obvious)
    xorg, gnome3, bumblebee (Intel/Nouveau)
    VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
    VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [GeForce GT 630M] (rev ff)
    solved by installing xf86-video-intel-2.99.909-2 (experienced the problem using 2.99.909-1)
    thx drakkan

    do you reproduce the issue with xf86-video-intel 2.99.909-2? This is a know problem with 2.99.908 and 909-1 but should be fixed in 909-2

  • Why does the 2014 AI look so huge? I feel like a little kid with the size of the buttons and menus. Is there any way to shrink them back down???

    The new version of 2014 of all of the Adobe programs looks huge compared to the regular 64-Bit version I had. I am looking to make it smaller but cant find anything. Help.

  • When I use my Delete key to delete a song, I get a pop-up.  This is OK, except the Keep File button is defaulted and I cannot tab or arrow to the "Move to Trash" button, and so i need to use my mouse.  How can I do this only with keyboard?

    When using iTunes on my iMac, I use my Delete key to delete a song and I get a pop-up.  This is OK, except the Keep File button is defaulted and I cannot tab or arrow to the "Move to Trash" (or Cancel) button, and so I need to use my mouse.  How can I do this only with keyboard?

    Huh.. Interesting. I went back to check these proceedures and found there is a difference between using the return key or the space bar as the action command.
    tabbing the blue ring moves the selection and then spacebar takes that action. The return key takes action of only the blue collored button.

  • Why does this adobe install thing pop up?

    i was checking my email on yahoo! and this adobe install thing popped up and asked if i wanted to install it. why do i need do install this for safari?

    Yes there is one at: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/
    According to this page, it should work in Safari:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/productinfo/systemreqs/
    I don't use it. For security reasons, I disabled all plugins for Safari. If I visit a page that needs plugins, I use Firefox with the Flash Blocker.
    Then I can click on the flash play button when I am ready to view it.
