Weird window behavior iChat 4.0 (601)

iChat seems to randomly make certain iChat windows stay on top of other windows. I haven't really noticed what steps make this happen. Just every now and then I click on another window and one or more of my iChat conversations stay on top instead of going behind the new active window. It's not a big deal, but it's a bit annoying sometimes. Is anyone else experiencing this?

It may pay to navigate to that script and open it in AppleScript Editor and look at what is in there. It might have a listen type command that keeps iChat at the front.
It might pay to make sure it is set on the File Transfer option and not When I Log In

Weird window behavior after 10.10.3

I have an interesting issue with 10.10.3 finder window within Column view. In Illustrator and only Illustrator, when I go to Open or Place a file my finder window looks like this:
Look to the far right, I can’t view the files within the folder. And the grey scroll bar abruptly ends. I can't go any farther to view items in folder. I can resize columns but I have to do every time. To add to the weirdness, it is just the Open command this happens. If I do a Save As, it looks like this:
And I can view the files.
I have trashed Finder window prefs and Illustrator prefs and no luck.
Any thoughts???

I've got exactly the same issue with Illustrator CS6. Have tried updating Java with no luck. I'm also getting the same thing in the 'scroll view' (or whatever it's called) finder. Photoshop isn't affected. This only happened after I upgraded to 10.10.3. What I do know is that it's annoying

Weird window behavior in XFCE

When a window is closed in XFWM, the window manager shifts focus to the window below it rather than the last window to be focused. Normally this isn't a problem, since the window below *is* the last to recieve focus. However, some applications - mostly Windows ones run in Wine - have one or more windows always above another window, and that causes problems: XFWM, unlike Openbox, Metacity, and presumably many other WMs, moves focus to the raised window rather than the last focused one. I've tried enabling focus stealing prevention, and that doesn't do anything... Is there a way to make XFWM work like it should or should I just use a different window manager (or disable window manager handling of Wine'd apps)?

Bump?

Weird window behavior when switching between applications????

When I switch between two applications, the other window disappears. This is annoying if I am trying to copy text from say, textedit, to another application like mail or Excel. When I switch to the mail app, the textedit window disappears. And when I switch to textedit, the mail window disappears. I have to keep going to the Dock to get to the other window.
I did not think this was always the case. Is there a setting I am missing? I really think I was able to see both a textedit window AND an Excel or Mail window at the same time. Please help

Do you have any third-party extensions installed? I googled and found several that will perform this auto-hide action: Quitling, App Presto, AutoHide, and DragThing are some of them.

Strange window behavior with CS5

I have begun experiencing strange behavior with PS CS5. I should begun with the machine configuration: 2.66GHz iMac (8,1) Intel Core Duo with 4GB RAM and OSX 10.6.6, Radeon HD 2600 Pro graphics card. The initial symptom showed up suddenly as an inability to display an image window; that is, I could open PS normally, everything would show up properly, but when I opened an image file of any sort, there would be no image window. Other cues indicated that the file was open; for example, the window menu would show it selected, and the layers palette would show the file's layers.
It did not seem to matter what type of file was involved: PSD, JPG, TIF, whatever. Occasionally, this behavior would begin during a session. Sometimes it would happen right off the bat. Sometimes, stopping and restarting PS seemed to clean things up; other times, this had no effect. After messing around quite a bit with different permutations and combinations, all I could say was that the problem was random.
I might add that I've had PS CS5 on this machine pretty much since it was announced, and had not had problems with it before. So this issue came along quite suddenly a couple of weeks ago. This was a little after I'd installed an update for Nik's Viveza 2; and I began to suspect that. Although why Viveza should do such a strange thing was odd, and Viveza was never part of the files I was experiencing issues with. Anyway, I went back to an earlier version of Viveza and the problem persisted.
Since I run Time Machine, I also went back to versions of the entire PS folder from a month back, and found the same problem. Along the way, I experimented with the files I was using with PS CS4 & CS3, which I also have installed on this machine. These two versions of PS run perfectly well. At least the CS4 version has precisely the same plugins as the CS5 folder, and this seems to discount the potential problem with plugins.
To be sure about CS5, I completely deactivated, deinstalled, and reinstalled it. The same issues occurred. Now, I have to admit that I let PS run its update process so that I brought it back to the most recent version in this step of my troubleshooting. So, I can't be certain that the issue isn't with some update of CS5.
I might add that I have been running CS5 in 32-bit mode, for compatibility with certain plugins. This may or may not be an issue, since I have limited experience with running in 64-bit mode. At this point, I should add a bit more about the confusing behavior.
While messing around with CS5, I also suspected the GPU support, since my problem had to do with windows. When the problem presents itself, the usual cycle through window views that you get by pressing the "F" key seems to get messed up. In particular, the "F" key doesn't work at all. Next, if you use the View menu to select different views, the full screen with menu bar view will often have garbled pixels, while the full screen view will show a blank grey screen. Then, cycling back to a window view will show a window with blank grey contents. This is interesting since the starting point was no window at all; but going into full screen and then back will produce a window with bogus contents.
Now, the next strange thing, having to do with the GPU, is that CS5 often fails to recognize the Radeon HD 2600 card. Oddly enough, it did originally. And I had it running in Basic mode. However, CS4 does recognize the GPU; and I can set it in any variety of modes: Basic, Normal, and Advanced. This behavior is not consistent at all either; that is, while CS5 almost always now fails to detect the GPU, sometimes it does. As near as I can tell, this failure to detect the card does not depend upon whether I start CS5 in 32-bit or 64-bit mode. OTOH, CS4 always recognizes the GPU.
Another form of this odd behavior arises if I start CS5 cold, and then just open a new blank window. This almost always works. I get a blank white window, and I can paint on it with a brush, etc. However, if I go ahead at this point and open a file, then the new file takes over the window; and there are no tabs. If I select the original new file, usually labelled "Untitled", the window bar will show the change of filename but the window's contents and the layers palette will continue to show the old file that I had opened. Cycling through views can sometimes get back to the new Untitled file, but just selecting file windows never works.
Yet another aspect of this messed up window behavior is that the workspace bar, which shows the Bridge, MiniBridge and view icons on the upper left and the various workspace options and CS Live on the upper right, is present but blank. OTOH, the tool bar is always displayed correctly, as is the horizontal bar that shows the various tool options. Likewise, the palettes for the workspace such as layers, swatches, adjustments, and so on, are always correctly displayed on the left.
My next steps in trying to figure this out will be to ensure that I am running the latest of all plugins so that I can get everything running in 64-bit mode and try this again. However, the single factor that seems consistent in this whole mess is that whenever I do find this odd behavior, the performance preferences window will indicate that CS5 is not detecting the GPU. Whenever this happens, if I open up CS4 and check the same performance preference in it, the GPU is detected. I can have the two preference windows side by side on the screen in fact, CS4 sees the GPU and CS5 does not. The counter-indication is that sometimes CS5 will work properly and the preferences window still shows that the GPU has not been detected. Having said that, I can add that if I have opened up CS5, and it has found the GPU, and I have set it into, say, Basic mode, and then later found CS5 messing up, and I go back and check the performance preferences again, the GPU has always been lost. So, CS5 can mess up windows with or without the GPU detected and active; but when if it started with the GPU present, it will show up as lost after the weird behavior starts.
To add one more observation, I have had Macs and other computers with failing GPUs. This computer is showing none of the typical signs of that. Every other program seems to be working just fine, and I have a lot of these, many graphics intensive; e.g., Corel Painter 11, Parallels v6 running Windows 7, PS CS4, Lightroom v3, Aperture v3, and so on. It is just CS5 that is messing up.
I could load up this message with screen shots of all this nonsense, but I'm not sure what that would add to the strange tale, other than I'm not pulling your legs. I am, however, pulling out my own hair.
As I stated before, this began quite suddenly a couple of weeks ago, early Feb 2011. My best guess as to cause is some combination of incompatible updates between CS5, OSX, and maybe some plugin or other. I found unusual behavior with onOne's FocalPoint v2 last year after Apple updated GPU drivers in some OSX update, and cratered that program. It took onOne a month or two to fix that. I have CS5 on a laptop with the same OSX version, and on that I haven't seen these issues; but then, I haven't been using it as intensely over there. Also, that machine has different CPU and GPU models than this iMac.
So, to the community: is anybody else starting to see this odd stuff? Am I alone?

Here's the reason I say that the same plugins exist for both CS4 & CS5. Sometime last year, the internal hard drive on this computer died (as they so often do), and it was replaced under the Apple care warranty. As a consequence, I decided to rebuild the OS and applications from scratch and bring back my user files from backup. I among other things, I reinstalled all of CS4 as well as CS5 (and I had to put CS3 back too for reasons having to do with printing calibration images for Quad Tone RIP). Then, I went to reinstall the plugins that I needed. I use Nik Software, onOne, Portrait Professional and various Topaz plugins. To my recollection, most of these install in PS CS3, CS4, CS5, Aperture, and Lightroom. In short, it is not that I've copied or moved plugin folders from one application folder to another, just that the installers automatically detect the presence of the various applications and put the various plugins into each, as appropriate.
The only 32-bit plugins that I have that don't fit into this category are from Vincent Versace. He provides special versions of certain Nik plugins (Tonal Contrast, Contrast Only, etc) that function with some Acme Educational extensions for performing B&W conversion, sharpening, blah blah blah. These plugins are only 32-bit and the extensions are only CS5 compatible. I've installed these ones only into CS5; so, you've got me. OTOH, I've had these from Vincent as soon as CS5 was available; and they've worked so far without problems. Perhaps I should just edit the extensions so I could use the latest plugins direct from Nik instead of the Versace special editions...
I've checked fonts and repaired permissions. I am presently going through the rather tedious process of disabling plugins and extensions to see if anything yields consistent results. The rather random arrival of the strangeness makes ensuring that a change is really having an effect more difficult to validate, as you will appreciate.
I apologize for my long-winded original post. I add all of the detail so that anyone who'd experienced similar strange behaviors might properly pattern-match what they were seeing. On the one hand, in finding the cause of a problem, you look for what's changed; and theoretically nothing is new. On the other hand, there's always so much changing behind the scenes with automatic updates of this, that, and the other thing that it's impossible to make the claim that nothing's new.

Weird window in my Dock

Seemingly, every time I have to force quit a program or if a program crashes, a weird window can be seen in my Dock.
It's hard to explain, so here is a picture:
http://idisk.mac.com/km23-Public/?view=web
You can see an outline at the bottom left up to where the bottom of the icons start. Any ideas regarding why this happens or what this could be?

What are we looking at BigD? Your link doesn't show your Dock.
When you say "every time I have to force quit a program or if a program crashes" that sounds like you have deeper problems, though possibly connected.
FYI, I have had to force quit no than a handful of times in several years, so you need to get to the root of this problem first, and be less worried about the related ghosting remnant in the Dock.
What application is crashing most often?

Preloader Image Script and Pop-Up Window Behavior

Hello --
My client's referring site --
www.moscaritolo.com/originals.htm. Please note: I am not a
programmer, but more of a designer and don't possess the skills of
writing code so in the development of this site for my client, I
decided to use this preloadslider -
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex14/preloadslide.htm
- by Jason Moon to display the images. So far, I really like it and
so does my client.
However, I now have a problem with the pop-up window behavior
for the triptych image on the originals.htm page. When you hit the
triptych pop-up behavior, the preloader stops working on the main
page and (#) stays in the address bar even when you've closed the
pop-up window for the triptypch image. Next, I tried just making
the word triptych a standard link to a new htm page and using the
back button on the browser and STILL, the preloader will not work
properly..? Any ideas..?

Strange 'Top Window' behavior in L8

I've noticed this one for a while - curious if it's a common 'bug'.
When L8 is open and I switch to another app, like Safari for example, sometimes one or two of Logic's plugin windows will remain 'on top' of my display. I have to go back and switch screen sets to clear it.
Also, if I'm in another app and I click on one of Logic's windows (plugin window, or environment mixer for example), it does NOT activate Logic as the 'active' application. Even though I can move faders in the mixer, for example, my top screen menu still shows Safari as the 'active' application. Again, I have to use the command-tab App Switcher to get Logic Pro as the active app.
Anyone else experience this? It's pretty much a 'full time' behavior on my system.

Yup - same here. Switching applications seems to confuse Logic which I don't recall in LP7. I switch often to Audacity, Amadeus or stand-alone Melodyne, and I also see the "Logic not active' behavior with the mixer being active.
The windows behavior in general seems strange .v. LP7 generally, and the entire window handling, and focus not shifting when windows are changed within 8 is different; probably related. I seem to be clicking around more to get to where I need to be. I use dual monitors and separated windows and screen sets.

Trouble with the Open Browser Window behavior

I have a page with thumbnail images. I want to be able to
click the thumbnail and have a new window open with just that image
in the window. If I don't assign a link to the thumbnail, and
select the Open Browser Window behavior, the only 3 options for
when to open the window are onLoad, onError, or onAbort. I want it
to be opened onClick. If I do assign a link to the image, and then
select the Open Browser Window behavior, it gives me the option to
open the window onClick. However, when I test it, it opens 2 new
windows - the one I want, and the one that is the link that I
assigned to the image.
I can't figure this out! Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Sam

You must always do the following when applying behaviors to
images:
1. Assign a link to the image first, even if it is a null
link. Use the
Property inspector to do this.
2. Click on the image in Design view, then click on the
<a> tag that you
see on the Tag inspector bar at the bottom of the document
pane so that the
anchor tag is selected.
3. Now apply your behavior.
You *can* usually truncate this process as follows -
1. Select the image in Design view and make sure that
<img> is selected on
the Tag selector bar.
2. Apply the behavior.
3. Use the behavior panel to set the event desired to
<A> onClick, or <A>
onMouseOver, or any of the appropriate "<A>" containing
items in the list.

New window behavior change FF 29.0.1

New window behavior changed with FF 29.0.1. I have a custom page that I built that has a bunch of links to sites/pages that I visit frequently. Every one of the links on that page begins with <a target="_blank" href=" >
I typically keep this page maximized and until FF 29.0.1, when I clicked one of those links, it opened in a new maximized window. If I had the page restored instead of maximized, when I clicked one of those links it opened in a new restored window. In other words, the new window was opened in the same window state as the page from which I clicked the link. Now, when I click a link on a maximized window, it opens in restored view and I have to manually maximize it. It's a pain in the patoot.
I'd like to know how to change FF to return to the previous behavior and also why someone felt it was necessary to change this behavior.

3D Render Destination "Scene Window" Behavior

Hello,
I've been making good use of the 3D picture controls recently. Infact, I've gotten to the point where the rendering is painfully slow unless I use the scene window as the render destination, allowing for hardware acceleration. The problem is, a pop-up window is very inconvenient for the UI I'm designing. Does anybody know any tricks what might allow me to embed the window in the VI? I need the hardware acceleration but want to suppress that popup window behavior, essentially.
Thanks

If you have multiple VIs and you just want them all to show in the same window, it is possible to have the front panel of one VI load into a subpanel of another, thus one VI could have multiple VIs displaying different parts and manage how they fit together. See this example to find out how to do this. I'm not sure what this would do to the efficiency or hardware acceleration, but it would allow you to have seperate VIs run with different properties and have them all display to the same front panel without managing passing the data back and forth.

Beutlich

IPhone 6 Plus weird screen behavior

I recently started noticing some erratic touch behavior on my screen, it's as if I have a possessed phone such as taps that I did not make, or swipes (up/down/left/right) as well. The spotlight randomly swipes down, or the notification center (it seems like a consistent swipe down behavior but at different locations). I couldn't swipe left yesterday to unlock my phone, and sometimes hangs and only locking/unlocking can fix the unresponsiveness.
Moreover, random tappings affect games and apps such as whatsapp, where it goes to the previous page due to a top left page tap, and then again on the edit button, then starts randomly scrolling up and down and tapping random parts of the screen.
This is quite frustrating, I tried formatting and starting the phone as a new one and only installed Whatsapp, but the problem persisted, albeit at fewer occurrences.
Now I noticed the problem again even though I'm on iOS 8.1, with only apps, music, and photos synced back from iTunes. What is happening ? How can I get this fixed ?
Summary
Issue :
Erratic touch behavior which cannot be produced on demand
Rare screen unresponsiveness following the weird touch behavior
What I've tried :
Reset and start phone as New
Reset all Settings
Hard Reset
Currently using a sketching app to see how the screen taps randomly (for proof as well).

Hello zazu90,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Change cursor when using open browswer window behavior

Okay, I give. I added an "open browser window" behavior to a line of text, which is working. How do I get the cursor to change to a finger on rollover? Thanks!!!! ttt

You need to give the text a 'null' link, an example of which Nancy has written for your.

Open Browser Window Behavior

I am using the Open Browser Window behavior. When test on my
machine, it works fine in IE, Safari, Firefox and Navigator. When I
upload to my test server it does not open at the correct size in IE
7 (did not test earlier versions) and Safari 3. In both browsers,
the new window is tiny, whereas I am specifying 460 wide and 490
high.
The code for this behavior is: <li>Chairman - John
Andrews (<a href="#"
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('Bios&Roles/BioJMA.html','BioJMA','width=460,height=490')">b io</a>)</li>
The page is at:

I have the behavior inside a Tabbed Panel. The links for this
behavior on on the "Leadership" tab.
