Why does Graphics Toolbar continually reset itself?

I have used FM since version 5, but since FM9, the Graphics Toolbar continually resets itself to the defaults so that you need to constantly set the various tools that you use the way that you want them (color RED, line 3pt, line with arrow at one end, etc).
Is this a bug? Or is there a way to make it stay the way that you set it? I use this Toolbar all through the work day, and it gets very irritating to have to constantly change how I want it.

Nope, unfortunately never been able to do that. I use the Graphics Toolbar sporadically while documenting manuals. It will be OK for multiple times of using it, then the next time that I need to use it, Bingo--I see that it has reset everything back to defaults. To determine what causes it, I would have to watch it after absolutely everything that I do, which I've actually tried to do. It doesn't seem to happen by simply saving a file or opening another file while the one that I'm working on is still open.
It could be an insidious bug that is caused by the user performing a series of steps and not just one thing. In any event, I'm surprised that no one else has experienced this. Am I simply a more prolific user of the Graphics Toolbar and, thus, prone to stumbling on a hidden bug?

  • Why does my ipod automatically reset itself when im listening to it?!

    I will be clicking through songs and all of a sudden it just resets itself...and also if im fast forwarding through a song it also just resets it self.....everything it up to date so what is the problem
    5th gen video   Windows XP  

    You could reset iPod when scrolling trough songs very quickly, you might have pressed -MENY- by mistake while scrolling. Do not give Your iPod too much commands in same time, i'd bug myself if somebody push me round too much. It's a good machine but do not over do it.
    Hope this helped

  • Why does my iPod keep resetting itself back to factory setting when I sync it to iTunes?

    I got a new mackbook air and I had to restore my iPod nano to get it to sync to it. But now everytime I sync it, it will say syncing and then ready to disconnect but then it restarts itself to no music. I don't know why it's doing this...help!

  • Why does my iphone4s keep resetting itself?

    I would have my iphone4s on and on like game app or fun app and next thing I know it is blank screen then the apple logo and then blank screen for while then apple logo and then sometimes back to my iphone screen
    it is like it is someone or something restarting or it is doing it self
    and i don't know why
    please help

    Try to set up the phone as new device without using the backup, explained in this article:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    If the phone works after that, restore your data and settings from the backup again. If the problem comes back, the backup contained damaged data that caused the restarts and you'll have to start all over again without your backup data.
    If this only happens during playing certain apps, deleting and reinstalling those apps might help.

  • Why does my display resolution reset itself periodically, and how to avoid?

    I have a 15" MacBook Pro, 1st gen (2GHz, 2Gb RAM), running OSX 10.4.11 (This problem also occurred the same in earlier OS versions). I run the built-in display at max res (1440x900).
    Occasionally, like once or twice a week, when I start up the machine, the display will come up in a funky 1152x720 resolution (4:3 aspect ratio, black bars on left and right edges of screen). The entire contents of the screen are there, just reduced into a smaller display area, and the desktop icons are moved around.
    To fix this, I start System Preferences, Displays, and click "Detect Displays", and the screen resets to 1440x900. Funny thing is, if I select the 1152x720 setting manually, it stretches the screen to fit the display (or doesn't compress it horizontally) - I can't actually get the machine into the strange mode with the black bars by selecting any of the options in Displays preference - it only happens occasionally on startup.
    Any ideas what's causing this, or how to keep it from happening?

    My resolution also changes, but it's in windows. OSX is fine, but everytime i boot up windows it boots up at the lowest resolution. Anybody know why that is?

  • Why does my 4s phone mute itself? I've reset the setting like other posts have suggested.

    Why does my 4s phone mute itself? I also have a hard time hanging up after a call. The screen goes blank like it's in a sleep mode. I have to use 2 hands to make it hang up--one to hold the home button and the other to hit the end bar. I've "Reset All Settings" in General Settings like other posts have suggested. This worked for a short period of time but now the phone is back to muting itself. Why does this happen?

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW.
    If you've been through ALL these steps and you still have problems, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple.

  • Why does my iPad continuously closes from where I'm working and takes me to home screen?

    Why does my iPad continuously close from where I'm working and takes me to home screen?

    It might be out of memory. Close all apps you're not using using the toolbar that comes up when you double click on the home button. Press and hold any icon and then tap on the red minus (-) symbol of the apps you're not using.

    If you're not running iOS 8 as you describe you are not, and Siri keeps coming on, this could be a hardware failure of the Home Button.
    Try these steps:
    Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
    - Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear.  (For iOS 6 older, hold down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
    - Relaunch the App and try again.
    - Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    - Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    - Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
    - Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    - Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    - Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

    hi Apfelwurm,

    it always switches itself on after i update. it just did again, this time for 7.1.2.. i t also will switch on after a restore.

    it's been noticed by others too.
