Will Adobe ever fix the UI text font size issues in CS6 apps?

Having recently installed CS6 on my new Windows computer, I find some serious issues with font sizes in the user interface (and not only in Dreamweaver, but in several--but not all--the applicaitons). You'd think that with a 27-inch screen, font sizes wouldn't be a problem. And you'd be wrong.
The irony is that some text is properly sized. Commands in the menus. For example. But the menu names are not. The text of items in the File tab is correctly sized, but the name of the File tab is not. In the Manage Sites dialog box, the title bar text is properly sized, but the text within, including button labels, is not. IN almost all of these cases, text is just plain way too small to read. It looks like the programmers made a HUGE boo-boo: they sized text in pixels, not only a no-no in web diesgn, but a no-no in applicaiton design.
Because on a 27-inch screen with a resolution of 1920x1080, UI text in Dreamweaver is all plenty large and readable, while on a 27-inch screen with a resolution of 2560x1440, UI text all over the applicaiton is too tiny to read--and made worse by putting the text on a gray background, reducing contrast, yet another design no-no.
CC is NOT an option--and properly should not be for any occasional user. Do not even think of suggesting it as a "solution."
This is clearly a bug (did Adobe do any testing on higher-resolution screens before releaseing CS6?), and one I wonder if it is unique to Windows systems (as Apple has had similarly high-resolutiopn screen for its displays and iMac lines for quite some time now). Or is it uniquely a Windows 8 issue?
Finally, is there at all a workaround? I can find nothing in the Settings dialog box that would control the size of UI text. Perhaps there is a text-based configuration file that could be modified to change the size of UI text. (Yeah, having configured autoexec.bat, config.sys, win.ini, and similar files back in the day, I do know my way around configuration files--if they are still used.)

What made you think that you should complain to Adobe about Windows display problem?  Adobe and Microsoft are two different companies competing against each other.
However, you might have display problem and the best way to resolve this is by going to:
Control Panel >> Display
Follow the online instructions.
Please not, you go to control Panel from within the windows itself NOT from DW.
Hope this gets you started or you can ask in the Windows Forum on Microsoft Website.

  • Will Firefox ever fix the page display they broke w/ version22 or should I just uninstall and use another browser?

    Pages display is too large for the screen. They blame me for the dpi setting on my pc, yet resetting to the default setting does not fix the problem.

    As I understand it, the philosophy behind the changes in Firefox 22 were to apply your Windows text size of 150% to web pages, on the theory that you probably would want that. This doesn't work for everyone.
    If the user interface text is a good size, then try this extension to adjust the page zoom level. You can still fine-tune zoom on pages using Ctrl+ and Ctrl- but this will reduce the numbers of sites you need to adjust.
    [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/ Default FullZoom Level]
    To counteract the change, here are examples of some settings to try:
    * Windows text size 125% => set default zoom level to 80%
    * Windows text size 150% => set default zoom level to 67%
    Can you find a setting that looks good to you?
    Note: If you already have the NoSquint extension, use its global zoom level instead of adding a new add-on.

  • Will Apple ever fix the 12/31/200 date RSS Visualizer Screen Saver issue?

    I had to reopen the discussion about the RSS Visualizer:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6474304
    I realize Apple may think the rest of the world (ex. CNN, Digg, etc..) needs to change their RSS feeds, but why not fix the RSS screensaver so that it doesn't default to December 31, 2000 and show only 4 news stories for most feeds? Even most of Apples RSS feeds don't comply. And this is by design?

    Better is to send bug reports and enhancement requests to Apple via its Bug Reporter system. To do the latter, join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report/enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure over submitting feedback is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

  • Did Adobe ever fix the 0x00000020 'file in use' bug?

    I'm currently evaluating version 2.0 (long-time user of 1.5). Trying to burn a DVD, I'm getting the error message about some unnamed file being in use by the operating system with error code 0x00000020. Seaching the forum, I see that I'm not the only one who has run into this (with complaints going back a year or more).
    Can't find a *code* fix anywhere (only suggestions like "redo your menus and that may allow you to do a single burn"). Has Adobe done anything to fix this problem in the code?
    Many thanks!

    John,
    Thanks, but I didn't see anything for Encore there (it's just a list of a few fixes for a completely different Adobe product).
    After reading a large number of posts by various people experiencing this exact problem - dating back more than a year - it's remarkable and disturbing that Adobe hasn't taken the time to fix it. I'm a software developer myself and I can guarantee you that it wouldn't take a competent programmer more than a morning to isolate the cause (given an Encore project capable of reproducing it) - and probably another hour to fix it.
    They've built a million bells and whistles into this thing (with 2.0 being noticeably more sluggish than 1.5) but in some not-so-rare scenarios, you can't even burn a DVD.

  • Will you ever fix the BUG n. 5207902 ?

    Hi,
    I would like to know if Oracle intents to fix bug n. 5207902.
    My problem: I cannot debug JSP that is deployed to standalone OC4J - or is it possible?
    Branislav

    Yes you can debug on a remote OC4J Container.
    On the start command you need to include the debug settings
    -XXdebug,port4000,detached,quiet
    i.e.:
    java -ojvm -XXdebug,port4000,detached,quiet - jar oc4j.jar
    So in this case port 4000 is the one you can remotely debug to.

  • Annoyed with JVC/Final Cut Pro import problem; will they ever fix this?

    Annoyed with Final Cut Pro JVC import problem; will they ever fix this?
    I've shot footage on JVC GY-HD111E in the UK in 720p/25p PAL mode.
    I'm trying to import lots of short clips (average 10 seconds) into Final Cut Pro (latest version with 720p/25p support) with a new Mac Pro maxed out with ram and 3 extra internal HDs.
    Problem is, on a scene-break i.e. pause/stop, Final Cut detects this and creates a new clip, but it takes about 5 seconds to 'searching for media" before it starts the new clip. Because some clips are only very short, this 5 second delay sometimes means I only get the final few frames of a clip, rather than the entire 5 seconds or so of it.
    JVC UK are blaming Apple and are saying it is up to them to fix it as Premiere and Edius does not have this problem.
    However, Symbiosis in the UK (who do HD-Connect box) say that the JVC ProHD cameras do not wrap the shots up properly at the end, they are kind of left open and this creates problems on scene-breaks.
    I've tried turning off the "create new clip on timecode break" etc, but it does not make any difference, when I do this it simply quits capturing on a scene break. Besides I have about 300 cutaways like this and I don't want to spend the rest of the year breaking them up on the timeline as this would be a futile and long workflow.
    I'm importing and working on a native HDV 720p/25p timeline and this is the way I want to work. I've already imported and edited 4 hours of footage, but these 4 hours were easy as all 4 tapes had no start/stop points, they were recorded continuously from beginning to end of tape for 64 minutes each time so importing was no problem; 1 clip per tape.
    But now I've come to my 5 tapes containing hundreds of cutaways I'm kind of screwed and need some advise on how I can import them natively in HDV without losing this 5 seconds off the beginning of each clip whilst FCP searches for the media each time.
    I've been told this issue is definately with FCP, any ideas how I can get around this?

    I haven't heard of this JVC/FCP problem, so I can't comment on it. However, whoever shot the cutaways didn't do you, the editor, any favors.
    I've been doing video since 1984, and I've got to say, anyone who shoots a scene that is only 5 or 6 seconds long on tape is making a huge mistake, and it's been that way since the beginning of computerized editing in the late 70s.
    Shoot at least 5 seconds of pre-roll before the shot begins, then roll tape for at least 5 seconds after you've got the shot. That's the protocol I've followed for 22 years now. Tape is cheap, edit suite time isn't.
    But laying down only 5 to 6 seconds for a scene is wrong, IMO.

  • Has Apple ever fixed the fan issue that results from upgrading the hard drives on 2009-2010 iMacs?

    Has Apple ever fixed the fan issue that results from upgrading the hard drives on 2009-2010 iMacs?
    My CPU fan defaults to 3000RPM.  I can rev the fan higher with 3rd party Fan controllers, but no lower than 3K.

    OR you can short out the original temp sensor, to make the fans rev at quieter speeds.
    You can also install an optical temp sensor in place of the old one, it will still read temps and adjust the fans accordingly, just not as good as an internal sensor.
    Use something like this:http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-922-9229-Cable-Temp-Sensor-Optical-iMac-27-inch-Late -2009-2010-/111106349896

    (imagine the opening of Thriller with the door creaking open and footsteps...you've awoken a sleeping giant...well, not sleeping, recovering actually)
    Hi TacoRye.
    Welcome to the club. When I saw this post, my eye twitched, my shoulders tensed up and I was brought back to a time (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4714549#4714549) when hitting stop did things that were wrong...just wrong. But as one who's been shut down and locked out of that topic, I'll kindly say that yes, multicam is a bit more enjoyable and free of that design flaw in Premiere CC. In fact, you'll probably like it for a few more things in CC as it's true that they have implemented several FCP favorites in the recent releases that even old schoolers probably say "hmmm, well now this is useful". I was a convert to CS6 from FCP this time last year and open to new things but that stop/pause issue drove me nuts. But it's fixed now in CC. And although I'm dealing with equally frustrating issues in CC on a daily basis unrelated to multcam, unless you use Warp Stabilizer a lot you probably won't experience them. All new software will have its bugs, etc. and I'm still holding out hope that the upcoming release will fix these issues. I have faith. Lots of exciting new features are coming in the next week or so which is all nice and good, but if the actual issues and bugs are fixed, I for one will be even happier.
    Bottom line: I encourage you to update to Premiere CC if you do a lot of multicam. Just be sure to update to at least 7.0.1 (the current version as of this post) because the regular 7.0.0 version has a pretty awful multicam bug unrelated to the CS6 thing.
    Enjoy...and don't be scared.

  • I am having troubles, when I open LR I get a message that there is an error and it will try to fix the error next time it opens, but I get the error next time it opens, and this is going on and on where I can not use LR, any suggestions?

    I am having troubles, when I open LR I get a message that there is an error and it will try to fix the error next time it opens. LR closes on it's own, I reopen it and get that same message next time it opens, and this is going on and on where I can not use LR, any suggestions? If I click on a different set of photos in the libary before I get that message I might or might not get the message next time it oipens, but I still can not get to those photos, and it is not just one or two but most of my photos. HELP!!!!
    Thanks

    The first thing I would suggest is for you to go to the folder containing your catalog, using your system browser. There will be a folder that has the extension .lrdata. Delete that folder, and then try to start Lightroom. If that doesn't work, replace your catalog with your most recent backup.

  • TS1538 Every time I want to sync my iphone to itunes I have to uninstall and reinstall itunes on my pc. It will only ever find the phone once, then I need to go through this all over again.

    Every time I want to sync my iphone to itunes I have to uninstall and reinstall itunes on my pc. It will only ever find the phone once, then I need to go through this all over again.
    How can I solve this?

    You'll have to do it by process of elimination. Sign into the iTunes Store through the App Store app, go to the Purchased section, and look at the list of apps purchased through your own Apple ID. Anything on your iPhone not in that list isn't yours and should be deleted. The same process would apply to content from the iTunes Store.
    Or you can just restore the iPhone from your most recent backup and then redownload everything from the iTunes Store. But if you have a lot of apps or content, that obviously wlll be slow.
    I updated my iphone by his ID , is it still problem?
    That's probably how you got your friend's purchases. It won't be an issue for iOS, but it is an issue for those apps and content.

  • HT201317 MY ICLOUD STOPPED WORKING ON MY LAPTOP. MESSAGE SAYS IT HAS STOPPED WORKING AND MICROSOFT WILL TRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

    icloud has worked perfectly. now a message comes up saying" it has stopped working and microsoft will attempt to fix the problem". I have signed out and signed back in. restarted the computer. no luck. Any ideas?

    First thing I would try would be to remove the battery from your MacBook, connect the computer to it's power adapter and start up, then see if the keyboard and trackpad work normally. Some older batteries have been known to expand and interfere with keyboard and trackpad. If this works, replace the battery.
    Best of luck.
