Weird Selection Problem - Mouse starts selecting everything  when going near line numbers

In Dreamweaver CS6 Mac Code View, if I move the mouse near the line numbers it goes into some weird selection mode: It tries to select everything I move the mouse over.
It doesn't happen all the time, but it happens frequently enough to be very annoying.
How can I disable this?
I have looked through the options and cannot find anything. I have also searched on Google.
I have been using Dreamwaver's code view since Dreamweaver MX and have never come across this problem before.

I am very sure that slim was done. It didn't start it as a daemon, I only let it respawn on runlevel 5 (in inittab). After I went in 3 and closed it, It didn't respawn. I looked at the display and I looked at ps -ef | grep slim and waited ;-)
Anyways, seems like I was right: slim is simply not doing something.
Now I have i my slim.conf:
# Commands executed when starting and exiting a session.
# They can be used for registering a X11 session with
# sessreg. You can use the %user variable
sessionstart_cmd /usr/bin/sessreg -a -l $DISPLAY %user
sessionstop_cmd /usr/bin/sessreg -d -l $DISPLAY %user
With who I have now:
jonnyjd :0.0 2007-11-06 22:00
The :0.0 made with -l $DISPLAY and seemed common. You can do anything you like I guess. -a stands for "add" and -d for "delete". Usually you have a -w and -u option also, but in Arch the wtmp and utmp are in the standard location, so we don't need them.
The session*_cmd entries in slim.conf were inserted for exactly this purpose somewhere in the year 2005, referring to the bug-database of slim (http://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?group_id=2663)
Okay, so I learned something new today
EDIT:
If you don't have xdm installed, than you shouldn't need the "-x" part. This is basically only needed when you have more than one x-display controlled by a login manager, which slim can't do anyways. So it would be a nice and clean: /usr/bin/sessreg -a -l $DISPLAY %user (edited the above .conf)

  • How can I eliminate grid lines of selected cells when printing, in iOS numbers

    How can I eliminate grid lines of selected cells when printing, using iOS numbers

    Hi Cmlgfx,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You can style a table to remove grid lines and only show an "outline" around the table itself.
    See this article for help with table styles:
    Numbers for iOS (iPad): Place and style tables
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3365
    To show or hide the table name, table border, and grid lines, alternate row colors, or adjust fonts, tap Table Options at the bottom of the Table window (you may need to scroll up in the window to see it), and then set your preferences using the options in the Table Options window. (When you’re done, tap at the top of the window to see other options.)
    All the best,
    Jeremy

  • Deep problem with starting SOA suite when network interface is up......

    Hi

    By accessing. I mean accessing them through thier network ip address through ssh or an xterm or any other network service the zone is running.
    say I have all 3 zone running each in a xterm.
    I click on zone 1 or global zone and both this 2 xterm windown respond and I can run commands.
    If I swich to the zone 2 zterm, zone 1 and global zone freeze, and zone 2 takes 30 sec - 1 min to start responding.
    If I am in a ssh session instead of a xterm the ssh session will stop responding and session will get disconnected.

  • My imac mail keeps going off line and can't send out emails even when it when it comes back on line for a short while

    Need help in getting rid of this annoying pop up problem. All my Inbox keeps going off line. Comes back very intermitently.

    That can't be it if it is working intermitently.
    Actually, more often than not, this is caused by duplicate entries in either Mail's Outgoing SMTP servers, or in Keychain.
    Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it/them, or delete it/them and start over.
    Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
    If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

  • When I try to select bookmarks I am stymied because the mouse control is overridden. This became a recent problem. The way it worked in the past is that items were selected only when left mouse button was pressed.

    I select from bookmarks menu a folder containing folders & bookmarks, but I cannot select what I want because an automatic action occurs where my mouse cursor is right then. Selecting what I want from the list is impossible as an undesired selection opens inadvertently, without me any positive action by clicking left mouse button. This problem did not exist 6 months ago. This is now a big problem for me. I'm going to stop using FireFox if this problem cannot be fixed soon!

    You do not delete bookmarks in the Customize window.
    You need to open the Library if you want to delete bookmarks.

  • Why does my Desktop Mouse freeze (moves erratically) when selecting menu items in PSE13 Editor?

    It seems that my computer with 8GB of memory may not be enough to use PSE13.    The Organizer menu works fine when I select menu items.   The problem is when I switch to the Editor.   My mouse starts to freeze, move fast, or too slow.  It is difficult to select
    a menu item in this situation.

    Unusual. In theory PSE13 should be better as it's a 64 bit application.
    Can you try re-setting the prefs then close and re-launch the Editor. First you need to go to:
    Edit >> Preferences >> General
    Then click the button shown on the image below.

  • Select everything starting with first char

    Hi,
    I have a simple question and forgot how to do this. I need to do a select statement and select everything from the table for a field i.e. WERKS starting with 'D'. Any help would be greatly appreciated and rewarded.
    Thanks,

    If you simply put your cursor on a SELECT statement and press F!, you'll get your answer very quickly.

  • Photoshop CC Selects everything, even when its locked.

    Hello all,
    I have a major issue with selecting any one object inside the new photoshop CC. When I want to select one object on the canvas, it selects everything thats underneath that object. I literarly try to create folders and lock all the  content that i dont want to move, and then select that object again, but it still selects and moves all my content under my object.
    Is it a new function? Can i turn it off?

    Are you using Keynote on an iPad?
    If so you posted in the wrong forum, this is the Keynote Mac discussion and it is a different application. I dont know how the iPad works at all, so I cant help you, post in the Keynote iOS discussion.
    If you are using a Mac, the colours palette is accesed by clicking on the colour well (arrowed) and then selecting a colour chip or changing the color in the colour wheel.

  • I am dual booting my mackbook pro with windows 7 64 bit. Yesterday it started locking up at the disk drive selections screen, when you hold down the "option" butting when powering on. I have been searching all morning, and so far nothing. Thanks. :)

    Hey folks,
    I have been using bootcamp for months now with windows 7 64 bit, and its been fine, yesterday while I was rebooting to do some gaming, at the hard drive selection screen when you boot holding the "options" butting down, it locks up when I select the windows drive and just sits there for ever. It doesn't throw an error, it boots fine into Lion.
    I searched all morning and didn't find anything, was hoping that someone might have an idea.
    Thanks in advance

  • Cursor move suddenly starts selecting everything; have to restart.

    Hi,
    My Macbook Pro, once or twice a day, a cursor move will suddenly start hilighting everything. Bringing a menu down, like to quit Firefox, the menu disappears before you can click "quit". So I manage to quit Firefox, and the cursor is drawing boxes on the desktop.
    This can only be cured by restarting. What's going on?
    Thank you.

    Well, it looks like you accidentally invoke the function where you can drag&tap (don't exactly recall what it's called again). I've done such myself, and keep doing so.
    It's pretty annoying, I've turned it off, but apparently you can't really turn it off. Seems something Apple should work on in another software update
    Your quick fix is the only thing that works

  • Where did the time zone selection go when making an event in Calendar?

    So in iOS5 and iOS6 there was an option to select the time zone the event was going to be in when creating it in the Calendar app.
    Now in iOS7 it appears it is no longer there unless you turn time zone support ON.
    I want to be able to have time zone support OFF like I had in iOS5 and 6 and still have the time zone selection option when creating events.
    I'm at a loss for why this option was removed. Is there any way to get this back? My coworkers are having issues creating meeting events when out on the road and figuring out the right time zone +/- when moving between time zones.

    You can middle-click a tab with the mouse scroll wheel to close that tab.
    Did you try Save mode to be sure that it is not caused by an extension or theme?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
