Why does the window border change frequently?

The left and right borders of the Firefox 4 window have a stylized look that includes a gradient. For some reason as I browse, this gradient changes its location frequently. It's very annoying. See [http://screencast.com/t/duzpbYVVF this video] for an example. Note that this is not Windows Aero as the video shows I was using Firefox against a blank background. While a similar gradient appears in all of my other applications, the gradient remains in a fixed location.

Why does the elements 13 change resolution when going into the editor -- it is huge and unusable

why does the elements 13 change resolution when going into the editor? -- it is huge and unusable

Many mysteries...
Which is your OS version ?
Your screen is 1920 by 1080 pixels.
The problem appeared after having worked normally.
When we select a picture from the organizer (album) and click on the edit button. The editor software changes the entire computer resolution from 1920 x 1080 to 640 x 480 (very unusable).
That's not clear for me: did you click on the 'Edit' button on the bottom right part of the organizer, or did you use the menu or the right click popup menu to open the editor? In the second case, you are in the editor workspace.
We tried right clicking on the Elements 13 icon, select properties and under compatibility we made sure that "run in 640 x 480 screen resolution" was de-selected, and it was. Cannot find any properties window for the editor?
The editor has its properties in the 'Edit/preferences' menu, but there is nothing about resolution there.
Just to be sure : when you are in the organizer with the left 'Folders' panel shown, you highlight one of those pictures to edit. Then you right click and choose to "go to folder". Do the images are shown as 'offline' ? If that is the case, the original are on an external drive which is not connected, and what you are seeing is a 'preview' copy on your computer with 640 x 480 resolution.

Why does the color red change from working with images in develop to library? The color gets lighter and nothing shows a change on histogram but visually you can see it.

Why does the color red change from working with images in develop to library? The color gets lighter and nothing shows a change on histogram but visually you can see it.

That's probably a broken display profile. The conversion from Library's Adobe RGB is different than the conversion from Develop's linear ProPhoto, so if there's a problem with the display profile it can show up this way.
Recalibrate, or if you don't have a calibrator use sRGB. If your monitor is a wide gamut model use Adobe RGB.
Assuming Windows, change it in Control Panel > Color Management > Devices, and relaunch Lightroom so that it can pick up the new profile at startup:

Why does the menu option change to "save as" after I select the print button?

why does the menu option change to "save as" after I select the print button?

>>The print command is selected in the File pull down menu, the print menu page pops up, I can then select my networked printer (which incidentally is confirmed to work with other software), the print command is in the bottom right hand corner and finally after depressing this print button a "save as" pop-up menu appears and then it only re-saves the file. Is this an issue with the pdf reader install?

Why does the stage layout change when native menu added

I have a program that was fine till I added a native menu to it. After adding the menu I have a space on both the left and the right of the stage. If I draw a shape at x=0, y=0 it appears about 40 pixels to the right of the window border. If I remove the menu the space still occurs what is going on?

Adding the menu shrinks the effective size of the stage. This happens because in the app descriptor, you set the outer size of the window, not the stage size. When you add a menu, the space for the menu is created by removing space from the stage, not by increasing the height of the window.
You see the bars around the app because you have the stage scalemode set to something other than noScale.(noScale is NOT the default.) The other scale modes attempt to keep most or all of the app in view when the app is not the same size as the stage (which happens when you add a menu to a window). The space around the edge is the result of the runtime scaling your content into the available space When you remove the menu, this space should be returned to the stage -- and does in my tests, so I can't explain why you don't see the scaling go away. Perhaps you are drawing your content based on the reduced stage size so you still have extra space after the menu is removed.
The stage align property determines how the content is positioned on the stage when it is scaled down. The default is center which distributes space to either side when the stage is scaled horizontally, which is why the origin effectively moves away from the left side of the window. If you used the an AlignMode of top left, the origin would stay in the top left corner.
In general, I recommend setting the stage scaleMode to noScale in an application, unless you have a specific need for one of the other scale modes. Even then, you can still scale things programmtically using logic appropriate to the situation. The other modes were designed for use in a browser where the SWF author may not have control of the stage and so must choose the least-bad compromise. In an AIR app, you have control and so don't need to make that compromise.

Why does the ringer volume display frequently on 3gs

Why does the ringer volume keep displaying on my 3gs? Seems it may do this when the phone is picked up or shaken.

This just happened to me today. The ringer volume display just remains on screen. Tried hard rese, nothing. It happened right after I dropped my 3GS - of which I've done many times but had not affected it because of the silicone case taking the brunt of the shock. Hope someone has a solution to this.

I have just recently bought photoshop, When I use the magnifier, it sometimes zooms on the left mouse button and zooms out on the right mouse button. Other times it dosn't do this. Why does it keep changing and how do I get it to stay on L/R button zoom?
I have just created my new site that has many English teachers on Skype All this was done using Photoshop cs6 but I had the problem with the zoom the whole time!!
Please help me with this annoyance!

Other times it dosn't do this.

Why does the window flash upon highlighting a link?

I spend a good amount of my time in half-window for firefox (Windows 7)
There is flashing on the sides of the window (glass) whenever I highlight a link. That is a poor description. See the change in the pictures
not hovering over a link http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v494/havaack/1.png
hovering over a link http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v494/havaack/2.png
This may be a very small change, but when scrolling through many links it makes me feel as if there is another window behind my firefox that is requiring my attention.
Is there a way to disable this feature, maybe through the about: page? I don't think it's any of my add-ons as it still occurs when I disable them (but not in safe mode)

OK, so you have Aero enabled and I'm seeing your desktop picture behind the browser then.
The odd thing is though that your installation has the old style Firefox logo top left. On Windows 7 installations, that's supposed to be an oblong bar with an arrow on the right hand side of it. The new layout is supposed to look like this: [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/4.0_Windows_Theme_Mockups#Tabs-on-Top_-_.28Aero.29 Firefox logo]
Can you try this please. Go to '''Tools '''| '''Options '''| '''Advanced '''and in the General tab, remove the checkmark from "''Use Hardware Acceleration When Available''" and then click OK.

[[Image:What does this mean]]

It's no skin off your teeth? Ummm... I think you mean no skin off my nose, teeth don't have skin. Most of your sentences don't make sense, it takes some thinking to figure what you meant. As far as your issue, thanks for explaining it further (that information would have been perfect i the 1st post) that is what I assumed and even the thread i directed you to said it's normal for the windows box to open.
You take wasting time poorly? I find that hard to believe, because you're spending a lot of time to give me a hard time, I didn't use language (care to point the words out?).

Why does the file size change when put into an iDVD project? And problems with dual layer discs...

I exported a short video of mine from Final Cut Express and the size of the file came out to 7.3 GB. When I put it into an iDVD project, it says that the file is only 800 MB. I tried just burning it onto a dual layer disc anyway to see if it might still burn at the original file size, but the disc came out unusable for some reason, and obviously hadn't been burned anywhere near full-capacity. So, I tried it again, and the exact same thing happened.
I guess my first question is: why is iDVD changing the size of the file? I want the quality to be the best it can be, so keeping it at 7.3 GB as opposed to 800 MB is rather important.
Secondly, why did the dual layer discs come out unusable? I've burned single layer discs before and they haven't been an issue. Also, I know for a fact that the drive can burn dual layer discs, so that isn't the issue.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide me with help on this issue.

Guessing here but it looks like you edited/exported an SD/DV sequence of about 30 min in FCE. DVD needs to be MPEG-2 so iDVD compresses the original file down to the size that you report.

The quality will be what the MPEG-2 compression and the software allow for. MPEG-2 is DVD standard .... there's no way around that.

Guessing again but it would seem that you burned a Data DVD instead of a Video DVD which would be unusable by a set-top player. As I said above you can't get around DVD standards.
If by any chance your video was HD originally you can try to go the Blu-Ray route using Roxio Toast or FCS 3 (discontinued) or FCP X. You will also need a Blu-Ray burner.

Why does the window freeze sometimes, and why can't I log on to my e-mail?

When I get my window and click on to Firefox, the comcastwidow opens. I then want to go to my e-mail. I click several times and nothing happens. Then I try to close the window, thinking I will start over, but the window freezes. There is no reaction to my clicking to close. Everything is frozen.

Well it works for me, am using the Firefox browser, there are issue with IE at the moment.

Why does the font size change unexpectedly when I use the touchpad with my new HP laptop with Windows 8?

Frequently the font size will change when the touchpad is touched. This is annoying! Is there a setting adjustment I can make to keep this from happening?

This is very experimental, but since no one else has replied...
I'm not sure which computers are affected, but Firefox has some support for touchpad "gestures" on multi-touch touchpads. Most of the ones that affect the zoom level of the page are the "pinching" gestures, like a smartphone screen. However, it seems that by default a "tap" will reset the zoom level, and that might be the problem here.
Could you try this?
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''gest''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click '''browser.gesture.tap''' and change it to... I'm not sure whether there is a command for "do nothing" but you could try typing or pasting in '''cmd_selectNone''' which cancels the current text selection in the page (if any).

Why does the Windows 7 desktop theme interfere with PDF's showing inside Firefox and how to fix it?

Windows 7
Firefox 28.0
Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (my default PDF viewer)
I have the browser set to display PDF's: "Use Adobe Acrobat in Firefox." This works fine for a while, then it stops working. I get a white page instead with a pop-up window: "Adobe Acrobat" in the top left corner, a blue question mark in the message field and an OK button on the lower right corner. Clicking the OK button does nothing. Changing the desktop theme image to "Windows 7 Basic" magically cures the problem. After changing the desktop image back to the personalized image, the PDF's will continue showing for a brief period, then they will stop again until resetting the theme to "Windows 7 Basic" again. Can this problem be cured permanently?

Why does the curser not change from an arrow to a hand and allow me to click of words that are "clickable"?.

In any website and on any webpage I can not click of links/words in the top 3cm of the page. Everything below I can click on with no problems. Why is this happening? How do I fix it? I am not computer literate so any help you can give me please respond in clear and detailed steps. I have tried reloading Mozilla Firefox but I am not sure it did re-load this internet browser. I have emptied my cookies, history and cache. What is the problem? Why is it doing it and how do I fix it? Please help me and urgently. Thanks.

the-edmeister, you are a genious. I went to "view" then "toolbars" and de-selected "yahoo toolbar" and then moved the curser over my firefox page and it now works completely including the problem area (the top 3 cm of each screen). Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. You have no idea how good I feel know on this otherwise cold, windy and rainy day.

Why does the PDFs' name change when i view them in the iBooks app?

but when i open them, the name changes to some coded-ish name with lots of numbers and all that....
is it possible for me to change some setting and save the name i want for those PDFs? Or am I going to have to live with this madness?
please help!
