Wierd menu behavior

Please help, My intel imac has doubled up a few of the items in the apple menu, the Restart, the Shutdown and the Logout all appear twice. There also appears to be a black box surrounding certain items when I select them. I have reinstalled the system to no avial, I would be grateful for any suggestions.

Go to System Preferences/ Universal and see if something there is checked that shouldn't be. I'm at work on a PC and my memory is no longer good enough (like it ever was) to remember specifically what is enabled.

  • Pop up menu behavior

    I'm using Dreamweaver 2004 MX
    Created a Pop up menu behavior in my Template and it worked
    OK.
    When new html pages are created based on theTemplate, the Pop

  • "Show Pop-Up Menu" behavior problems

    Greetings—
    The "Show Pop-Up Menu" under Add Behaviors is grayed-out and
    won't allow additional links to be added to the templates. I'm
    currently on DW MX 2004.
    Thank you

    The functionality has been REMOVED as a primary function in
    CS3. It will
    allow you to edit a LEGACY MENU, but not create a new menu
    from scratch.
    This is a good thing. The DW menus were indescribably
    horrible.
    In their place, use the Spry menus, or -

  • Weird custom menu behavior in 8.2

    I'm in charge of upgrading a large project from LV 7.1 to 8.2 and I ran into several problems but was able to resolve them except 2 major ones (not including the crashing tables and indices in self-indexing while loops).
    1) Our custom menu now seems to badly lag when trying to open it. Takes a good 2-3 seconds for any items to show up when the application is running and this behavior continues UNTIL i switch to the block diagram and put in the password for our application (to access the code). This definitely seems like a bug and I wasn't able to find any similar posts. Is this a known issue? Why does it happen?
    2)Badly lagging .VIT files. We have about 7 custom display .vit subvis which get called as clones by the application. They're not marked as re-entrant and I know 8.x changed the pass-by-value to pass-by-reference handling of clones. Is this the case? Why are my .vit now running twice as slow as in 7.1 on the same computer?
    Altenbach mentioned overlapping elements on the FP of the .vit's in another post, but could someone clear this up for me please? Does slightly overlapping cursor display on a wavegraph count? Or is this when you have a completely different FP control right on top of another control? Any help is greatly appreciated.Message Edited by romulus on 01-24-2007 08:27 AM

    Hey romulus,
                  I am still not fully understanding the best way to try and reproduce your issue.  If I were to create a new VI with a custom runtime menu in 7.1, then lock the block diagram with a password, and then open this VI in 8.20, should it display this behavior?  I will continue trying to reproduce this on my machine, but have been unable to thus far.  If you can provide a VI that replicates this problem, I would be happy to talk with R&D about it and see what is happening to cause the issue.  Thanks!!

  • Wierd button behavior: flashing between Up and Over, won't go to frames

    I have this strange behavior with buttons.  These are button instances, not movie clips used as buttons.
    I created a list of buttons for a drop down menu. Created the first one then dupliacted the symbol to create the others. The buttons have an Up and Over state. I coded each button in the normal way - for example:
    on (release, releaseOutside) {
        gotoAndStop("M1-2S-1");
    Problem:  the first button works fine but all the duplicated buttons act like movie clips with no stop. They cycle between Up and Over states and the goto code does not work.
    I an using Flash CS5, Actionscript 2.0

    Do all the instances have unique ids? Are the duplicate buttons displayed as Movie Clips (check the Properties tab)? If you're using goto actions anyway, why are you using buttons?

  • RH9 FlashHelp Related Topic popup menu behavior

    Hi. Recently upgraded to RH9 from RH7. Output is FlashHelp. Use IE7.
    Discovered that when clicking on Related Topics button, page scrolls up and popup menu appears at the top of the topic, rather than appearing next to the button as it used to. Is there any way to resolve this buggy behavior? Attempted to recreate the button, used the topics found dialog option, etc. Get the same result regardless of changes to Related Topics options.
    This issue occurs when I generate the output and test locally, as well as when it's published to our server.
    Appreciate any suggestions.

    Try Tools > Update DHMTL...
    It's a wild guess and beyond that, I have no other ideas. Sorry.

  • Hierarchal Menu Behavior in Swing

    When a user pops up a hierarchical menu, she should be able to drag directly to the desired item in that menu. The shortest path to the desired menu item is usually a diagonal path.
    Under Swing, the user must first drag horizontally into the hierarchical menu and then drag down that menu to select the item, otherwise the hierarchical menu closes. This is very disconcerting behavior for users who are expecting the normal platform behavior (the Mac and Windows allow direct [diagonal] dragging).
    I feel this is a significant problem, but I tried submitting it as a bug and didn't get much interest from Sun. Please post your agreement (or disagreement) to this topic so that I can build a stronger case. Thanks.

    Personally, I find it mildly amazing that Sun showed "no interest" in this issue. It's the lack of attention paid to exactly these sorts of seemingly minor, but actually extremely important, interface issues that has caused developers to look for alternatives to Swing. SWT, anyone?
    If Sun cares about the user experience they will pay attention to this issue, and others like it...

    The Show Popup Menu was deprecated. You should be able to
    find it in the ~Deprecated flyout when you click the + button on
    the Behaviors panel.
    However, please I believe that you can only work with a page
    that already has a popup menu on it and you cannot add new one to
    page that doesn't have one on it already. As this feature is
    deprecated Adobe suggest working with the Spry menus (on the Insert
    bar) instead.
    For a commercial solution that offers a number of styling
    options beyond what you get out of the box for the Spry menus, you
    may want to consider WebAssist's CSS Menu Writer:

  • Show pop-up menu behavior

    For some reason when I select my object to attach a

    Frankly, what you are doing wrong is using the Pop-up menus
    in the first
    place. You have no idea how awful these are. Please read this

  • Strange menu behavior

    I authored a DVD in SVDSP 3 with a bunch of Stories. It is setup for different chapters (Stories) play and then take you back to the menu. The end jump of one of the stories is set to a particular menu and button. When the story ends it briefly goes back to a different menu (with all it's highlights off) then quickly goes to the menu it supposed to do. Any suggestions as what might be wrong? Anybody see this behavior before?

    Is this in simulator or on the final disc? Have you copied the settings from one story and changed it later? Did you overwrite the previous build folder or delete it and start again?
    Sounds to me like the sort of glitch that creeps in when you are re-using build folders. Also, have you tried deleting the PAR files and then re-building to a different location?

  • Any way to get the Tiger folder=menu behavior back?

    I didn't realize how much I missed this Tiger feature until now it's gone:
    In Tiger, if you dragged a folder into the Dock, you could click-and-hold on it to display a pop-up menu of its contents. If there were other folders inside it, they would display as submenus. You could follow along the submenus until you reached the item you wanted. For example, you could launch an application or open a document buried several layers deep in sub-folders by following along the pop-up menus.
    In Leopard, as far as I can tell, if you put a folder's icon in the Dock, you can ONLY make it behave as a Stack. Stacks are OK if everything in the folder is at the same level... but if you've got other folders inside, the Stack is pretty much useless.
    Has anyone found a way to get the Tiger functionality back? I've tried the fn, ctrl, option and command keys, hoping one of these would display the submenus, but no luck.

    Okay, I found that third-party developers have stepped up with ways to do this (one I've tried is the free HierarchicalDock -- http://www.eternalstorms.at/utilities/hierdock/) but now that I've had a few weeks to get used to Leopard, I find that I don't miss menu folders as much as I did. They were always kind of slow to update anyway, and there are other ways in Leopard to do what I want.

  • Wierd Menu bug-only allows access to songs with album name

    So I was noticing this when I was trying to play some music by an artist that I have music for, 2 with the same album name, and several more without an album name. the thing is, when I scroll to that artist in the browse by artist menu, it goes straight to the two songs with the same album name, never allowing me to get to the songs without an album name by selecting the "all" albums option. This is also a problem with songs without an artist. Besides putting in some random album name like "_", what can I do to fix this?

    You have solved it yourself by "" !
    There will probably be a software update from Apple that will fix this as several earlier threads have mentioned.

  • Wierd menu option in itunes 7.1.1 preferences

    i have a checkbox under my itunes general preferences that says "motheroad's **** sounds". also above that the "show links to the itunes store" checkbox has a long space between "links" and "to". i am running itunes 7.1.1 (5). my hard drive is named motherload, i'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. everything else seems normal and all my music plays fine as well. i just update itunes on the seventeenth via the apple menu's software update. thanks for any insight.

    The new sorting options are available from the iTunes "View" menu>"View Options..." To sort an item in the Library or a Playlist by the artist's last name, select the item first (it should become highlighted), then from the "File" menu choose "Get Info" and then choose "Sorting." Then in the "Sort Artist" box type the last name of the artist and then click OK.
