Weird square box mysteriously appears

Occasionally after editing a photo in ACR and opening it in Photoshop CS4, a square box appears in the photo, as if I selected a small square area and darkened it using curves. Any thoughts about how to prevent this or how to get rid of the box if it happens? I am using a Mac Pro tower with the latest OS 10.6 (although I remember it happening once using OS 10.4) and the most updated version of CS4. Thanks!!

This is a very strange problem. Sounds to me like some sort of graphics card glitch more than anything else.
Is Camera RAW genuinely rendering a square selection darker than the surrounding pixels? when you move the image around your monitor, and measure the pixels with the eyedropper is this still apparent?
Since its most likely to be what I suggested above - try turning Open GL on and off in Preferences.

Weird SQUARE BOXES in updated fields

I updates few hundreds of records by multiple updte statements where i copied and inserted values.
I think I left some blank spaces .. i donno but ...
When i SELECT everything from what i updated I see some weird boxes (ONE SQUARE SHAPE BOX) next to the value
Ex: 234567'SQUARE BOX' ----> shape in place of 'SQUARE BOX'
Ex; AGIES'SQUARE BOX' -----> shape in place of 'SQUARE BOX'
But when i select and copy it and paste it into text pad it shows up as 234567 with cursor after few spaces
same is teh case with varchar field.
I tried RTRIM
but no use.
Please suggest

would a regexp replace work. [:cntrl:] are the nonprinting or control characters so maybe
regexp_replace(yourvalue,'[[:cntrl:]]' )

How to handle Invalid characters(Square Box) in BI

Hi All,
Daily I am getting Invalid character(Square Box) issue with 0Material description and material manufacture part number when the it is being loaded to targets.
This data is being loaded to many data targets and daily they are being failed .
I have checked the text in MARA Table and found that there also the square box is appearing in the description.But when i copy the text and past it in word document in the place of box it is appearing as space/Tab.
Can you please help me how to handle this type of issue in BI .
Thanks in advance

Hi Binbi1,
   This eror is due to carriage returns which turns into a square box when transferring data, this can not be corrected through the RSKC, this is solved through an ABAP routine in the transformation rules, use this code:
DATA i_text type c length 60.
i_text = SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/ZMBS_FT1. "this is your material description field
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '#'
          IN i_text WITH ' '.
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '□'
          IN i_text WITH ' '.
RESULT = i_text.
I hope this help you....

Only white square box appear when taking photo using camera

Hi,
Anybody who can help me. When I take photo, all that appears in photo roll is just empty square box and cannot even save any taken photos.
Please help

Hey,
If you can't see the photos when you tap them, there may be a case or protective film covering the iPhones camera. Try testing after removing any 3rd-party accessories.
If the issue persists after removing the case try resetting or restoring the iPhone.
You can reset the iPhone by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple logo as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 will walk you through restoring the iPhone.

IPhoto: No pictures only broken-line/square boxes where pictures should be. Scanning with the bar slide the pics appear for one or two seconds then are gone.

Grandson Son sabataged my IPhotos! Can't get pics to appear. Only broken-line/square boxes where the pictures should be. Scrolling with side bar brings up pics for 1 or 2 seconds then they are gone again. HELP! Please....

Restore from your back up is the most obvious way forward.
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. It can take 3 or 4 goes for this to work

Small square boxes appearing on blank lines (UPDATED) - The question is, how to get rid of them?

******* As to my display name "All I tried were in use" - when I registered at the Adobe site to use the Browser Lab, I tried something like 10 or 12 user names and finally gave up and went with "All I tried were in use" - my name is Bob
------------------------------- UPDATE --------------------
The problem, small square boxes showing on lines in Freetext Tool comments, is not limited to blank lines, as I originally reported here. These boxes are showing up at the end of every line. It does not matter if the line break is hard or soft, whether the line is empty or not.
Please read the original post bearing mind that the problem is occurring at the end of all lines.
Also - here is a screen capture of a part of one comment box, showing the square lines. I didn't show the entire box because the material above the area I'm showing is a tad private or confidential. Here is the image showing the boxes - note that there is no box at the end of the last line in the comment.
-------- Original Post ------------
We have a copy of Acrobat 5.0. and up until now it has done what we need, which is not much more than adding bookmarks, links, and some touch up. I know it is very old and I know things change. I'm hoping this has nothing to do with the release we are using. I would think this would be a backward compatibility issue if it is a problem with newer Reader versions dealing with PDFs "edited" with 5.0.
I am having small square boxes showing up on blank lines. (read my update above - the boxes are at the end of all lines, soft break or hard break))
I'm a programmer (37+ years in most all aspects of Data Processing) and I decided to learn the PHP programming "language" to add some server side processing to some of my web sites. So, I found a fairly good manual on PHP in PDF form and have been using it.
I quickly found that the PDF didn't have a single link in it and no bookmarks, so I've been adding them as I look up a particular subject. I'm also adding comments and notes to document things not in the original manual or to add comments that would help other programmers` (who know other languages) to adjust to PHPs' way of thinking - for example: in all the other languages I know (perhaps two dozen) to get rid of a file, you "delete" it. In PHP you "unlink" it.
I've added a lot of comments and notes like that and when I view the PDF in Reader (on this computer I have 9.4.2) I'm seeing small square boxes on empty lines. The lines were created when I pressed Enter twice to insert a blank line between paragraphs. (again, read the update at the top of this message - the boxes are at the end of all lines, soft break or hard break)
How can I get rid of them?
They are not present when I've got the PDF open with Acrobat, only when I'm using an Acrobat Reader.
They are also not present if I look at the comments using the Comments navigation panel - that is, they still show on the page, but they don't show in the copy of the comment displayed in the navigation panel.
They are not present in Notes or when I use one of the shape tools (Square Tool, Circle Tool, or Line Tool) to create notes. They are only present in Freetext Tool comments
They are clearly being show where there are successive line feed/carriage return characters - but how do I get rid of them?
I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING - I realized that I'd not printed any of the pages on which I have placed comments and wondered if the boxes show when printing the PDF with Reader -- they do. They are not present if I use Acrobat, not a Reader, to print the same page.
Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Please don't tell me to get a newer version - an expenditure like that is simply and totally out of the picture. For us, this is a Depression, not a Recession - we are self-employed and our businesses have been severely hammered since 2006 - we are down to about 1/4 of our income before the big guys trashed the economy.

P.S. Do you know that you can have a heart attack without chest pain, shortness of breath, or left arm pain? Well, you can! I've had two and the first one nearly killed me because I had no clue it was a heart attack. You can read about it first one here. Pass this on, it could save a life.
My second heart attack occurred on October 4, 20112 - it began, around 3:15 AM, as the first one did, with a headache. It turned out the stent implanted in 2002 had been completely clogged by too much tissue grown. The doctor put another stent inside the first one.

Problem Resolved - it is a font issue. Apparently Acrobat can't handle particular fonts and it is best to stick with a very small slection of fonts - Arial, Helvetica, Times Roman.
I haven't test a lot of fonts. If I do, I'll post there results here.

Weird square in Mavericks

Hi everyone!
Since I've installed OS X Mavericks in my MBP - laptop, sometimes I notice "weird square" on my screen. I dont think that my laptop's screen is broken because example when I noticed the square in Safari's address bar and moved it the square moving with it, and when I quit Safari, the mystery square disappeared and then i opened Safari again and the square didn't show anymore. That is happened about nine times after Mavericks and when I have Mountain Lion, there wasn't nothing squares like now.
I took a screen shot today when the mystery square came to Safari:

Can anybody help me with that?

Hello Yarno90,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the box on your display of your MacBook Pro. I would be concerned about this too.
I found an article with steps to troubleshoot issues with displays. This article is for internal and external displays, so you can skip any steps referring to an external display. I recommend reviewing the full article, but this step specifically stands out to me:
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
You can find the full article here:

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

Weird Square Corner Window Decorations with GTK+ 3.16

For some reason all GTK3 applications have weird square corners since I updated to GTK+ 3.16. Here is a screenshot of a music program I'm making exemplifying this problem: http://i.imgur.com/vMf3MUO.png
It happens with ALL GTK3 applications.
Here is my gtk.css in my ./config/gtk-3.0 folder of my home directory:
.window-frame
border-width: 5px;
box-shadow: none;
margin: 5;
Is there anything in that file I can change to fix this problem? I'm using Fluxbox with compton.

Even with the new completely updated Vertex theme downloaded from https://github.com/horst3180/Vertex-theme my title bars and gnome tweak tool are white and don't look anything like the screenshots of the creator. What are the potential causes of this? I have reinstalled all of gnome and everything but I just get back to the same appearance.

Square boxes instead of Japanese characters in pdf output of a crystal rep

Hi All,
Did anyone of you ever faced such an issue, where the pdf output of a crystal report shows square boxes instead of Japanese characters when the output is saved in pdf. However the crystal report output looks perfect. I have saved the ouput in xls and rtf formats the characters look perfect as required, the issue we have is when the output is saved as pdf.
I have language pack installed on my machine.
My guess is that the few Character's width is not sufficient and few Characters in other fields appear perfect in pdf. I have to test this, it might take few days before I can access this report. Before that I want to gather information. If anyone has solution to this issue please let me know.
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi,
Could you please answer the following questions
1.What version of Crystal Reports are you using?
Go to Help-> About to find out.
2.What is the font you are using on the report?
Try to change the font style to MS Gothic or Arial Unicode MS, most preferably MS Gothic.
And export the report to PDF format.
This may help you
Thanks,
Praveen G

Strange square box on right side of bookmarks bar

Dear Mozilla Support
The other day a strange long square box appeared on the right side of my bookmarks bar.
The bookmarks bar I refer to starts on the left with the words "most Visited" "Start" etc, etc, with all my bookmark links icons displayed going from left to the right... but ... strangely, one day when I started my computer a strange "long square frame" appeared to the right of my bookmarks bar ,
and then pushed all of my bookmarks over to the left (eliminating most ) and now I have just a few bookmarks on that bar with a double arrow " >> " like this . I have to click on the "double arrow" to see the remainder of my bookmarks. I do not wish to have it this way, I would like this "long square frame" removed , so I will finally have "room" for my bookmarks again. By the way, this frame is "Not clickable" nothing happens when you click it, and it is "NOT A SEARCH BOX" it is just a long square frame taking up space on my bookmarks bar. Can someone help. Thankyou in advance ! Rick

There have been reports that this is caused by the Zoom Page 9.0 extension.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

Square box around pointer

All of a sudden, a square box of 3 by 4 inches appeared around the pointer.
At the moment it occurred I was in 'Keyboard Shortcuts' of 'Keyboard and Mouse' in Preferences, where I must have touched something.
Any suggestions as to how to free my pointer?

Steven --
Try this:
In System preferences, go to Universal Access.
Open Zoom and click on the Options button.
Make sure that the "Show preview rectangle when zoomed out" box is not checked.

Weird rectangular box replaced the white-space for san serif

I opened up a pdf that used to have a normal san serif text, but now, it has little square boxes for every spacebar spaces. The text comes out good but it's the white spaces that come up in square characters. Most other fonts don't do this but some other ones do this as well. Here is a picture of it:
http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss186/johnclee90/1212.jpg
please help me.

I meant to say InDesign and not pdf. The pdf output of the indesign long ago does not have any square boxes but if I try to export the same indesign into pdf, it has the square things showing up on the pdf as well. Anyways, the sansserif might have already existed, but my actual use of the sanserif came along with an already made CS2 template (I have CS3)from my instructor which was using the font. Everything was fine and normal (as in no square boxes) until recently when I opened the file again.
I checked the font folders in my windows system, and it has SansSerif, SansSerif Bold, SansSerif Bold Oblique, and SansSerif Oblique in truetype font just like any other font files in there.
Also this is the original CS2 template that I work on from. When I first opened this a while ago, it didn't have the weird boxes.

could it be that I've installed new fonts to my system since that time?

Weird Black Box/Cursor Issue

Greetings,
I fell asleep watching a movie last night and when I wkoe up I had this weird Black Box issue that I can't get rid of. Normally I can come up with search terms to find an answer to the problem but I'm not even sure how to describe this. There is a Black Box outline, generally where the cursor was last, and, in the lower left corner, a black text box with a white outline and white text. At the moment the Black Box is around the Close Button for Firefox and the Black Text Box says "close button". Sometimes it will give a "command-shift-whatever" needed to activate that button. WHen I shift to a finder window it will tell me I am Currently on a Browser etc. Ad Nauseum. As I shift around it will highlight (with the black outline) whereever I am and continute to give me useless advice!!! How do I get rid of this?!?!?!?!???
Thanks for the time!!!
Geezer

BINGO!!! That solved the problem!!! Course there remains the mystery of *HOW* those button got pushed while I was sleeping.
Thanks Dominic!!!
Cheers,
Geezer
