Windows Jumping In and Out Intermittently

Every few days my open windows begin doing an exposé dance swinging left and doing a dosy doe (sic). Whatever I do during these episodes doesn't stop it including rebooting. After a while everything calms down and goes away for a while.
I turned off exposé and all the tracking options. It really doesn't feel like screen issue and the keyboard doesn't feel like its shorting out. It creates lots of anxiety but I've never lost work yet.

I've never heard of this. Sounds like your expose' keys are getting stuck, or you have a hot corner turned on and your mouse is floating around in that corner.

  • HT201394 ios 8.0.2 causes my iphone 5 to jump in and out of data/cell service. Has anyone else experienced this?

    I have an Iphone 5 16 gig on the Sprint network and since i've updated my ios, it now jumps in and out of cellular service. I was told that you can revert back to 8.0.0 but i can not find a way of doing that. Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a fix?

    Hello, rscottval
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I would close all applications in multitasking and power cycling the device.  Once this is done test the results.
    iOS: Force an app to close

    If you are still having trouble with the text appearing as you type after following those steps, you may want to try turning off Documents & Data under your iCloud settings.  On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then tap to turn off Documents and Data.

  • Help! New windows, jump menus and maximizing

    Hello all. I am new to Dreamweaver, and I have been having
    trouble with some things that should be easy.
    1) How can I force a new window to maximize to the screen
    size?
    2) I am using a Jump Menu, and what I want to do is open a
    new window from the jump menu on top of the original window. I want
    the new window to open separately and the back button to be
    disabled. I want to do this because when I go to a new window from
    an original one, then press the back button, the original page is
    not refreshed.
    Can someone PLEASE help me with these two items? Is there any
    scripting you can share that I can insert or anything else you
    know?
    Thanks so much!

    The jump menus are just a <select> form element with a
    bit of javascript
    applied. It will work just fine with your templates. And,
    yes, you could
    safely use SSI as well to save yourself the hassle of
    uploading the changed
    child pages. Most of DWs javascript can be safely relegated
    to an external
    js file that you include in the page.
    The pop-up menus are a nightmare - don't ever consider their
    behavior when
    thinking about other DW features. ;)

  • Finder and application windows moving in and out rapidly.

    I was on hulu last night on my macbook and all of a sudden all the widow started moving in and out of the screen rapidly. There was nothing I could do to make it stop. Nothing was on the keyboard. Nothing I did with the track pad did anything. I shut it down and let it cool off. It gets pretty hot after an evening of running flash on hulu. After a restarted it it was fine for a while then started again. Has anyone else seen this problem?

    Do you have the correct version of Flash Player installed for your OS version (if your profile is correct)? Also, it would help to update your profile with the model of your MB (processor, RAM, etc).

  • Windows 8.1 and FTP (intermittent problems)

    I have updated to windows 8.1 recently and i have found that my FTP connections (in every ftp program i have) will work for a good 5-10 minutes before it becomes completely unresponsive ("connection timed out") and to get it working again I need
    to reconnect to my wifi.
    firewall is off completely 
    no anti virus of any sort 
    my ftp server works on xp 7 and windows 8.0
    passive or active, doesn't matter. it doesn't work.
    when i reconnect to my wifi it fixes it temporarily.
    and most importantly, is there any solution to this?
    Thanks in advance, Nate.

    I can confirm the same exact problem.
    If I reinstall Windows 8 everything is fine; the moment after the 8.1 upgrade, FTP connections are unstable.
    It has nothing to do with firewalls, network or FTP clients.
    I also tried to update network drivers but nothing changes.

  • Safari Window zoom in and out

    Every so often when I am using Safari and have another application(s) running in the background, the Safari window will zoom out and the other apps are shown, as though I am using Expose. A click on the Safari window, which is also highlighted in blue, zooms it back and makes it the primary window. What is causing this to happen and is there a way to stop it from happening?
    Thanks.
    PS: I am using Snow Leopard but I don't know which version it is.

  • Jumping in and out of PHP

    Sorry this is a bit long winded.
    I have a single MySQL table holding Volunteer's information and their assigned activity and am able to display a list of Volunteer's names and link from the Volunteer's name to an information page which displays all the Volunteer's info using an index called "volunteernumber" and passed as a URL parameter. This is working fine. I also have a web page that shows a list of Volunteers names categorized by their assigned activity - and this works fine.
    It will help my users to be able to combine the functionality so they can use the categorized list of Volunteer names and click on the volunteer's name to go to a page displaying the volunteer's information. Sorry I can't give you a link to the page as it contain personal contact info. The problem I'm having is that the parameter "volunteernumber" is not being added to the url generated by the <a href=....... code.
    Below is the code that displays the categorized list of Volunteers names without a link - this code works correctly.
    <?php
    // initialize a variable to store the previous activity
       $previous = ' ';
       do { 
             if ($row_rsVolunteersFriday['assignedactivity'] != $previous)
                     echo "<b>".$row_rsVolunteersFriday['assignedactivity']."</b><br>"; 
                    echo $row_rsVolunteersFriday['firstname']." "; 
                    echo $row_rsVolunteersFriday['lastname']."<br>";
    // store the current name in the $previous variable
                   $previous = $row_rsVolunteersFriday['assignedactivity'];
               } else
                  { echo $row_rsVolunteersFriday['firstname']." "; 
                    echo $row_rsVolunteersFriday['lastname']."<br>";
    ?>
      <?php } while ($row_rsVolunteersFriday = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsVolunteersFriday)); ?>
    Here is the code that fails to add volunteernumber to the URL parameter, it generates a link containing www.hollisterairshow.com/admin/"showvolunteer.php?volunteernumber=   NOTE it generates a spurious quote in the middle of the URL and does not append the parameter 'volunteernumber'.
    Note for test purposes I only altered the code that displays the hyperlink when the categorized activity has not changed i.e. the code that occurs after the "else". I have bolded this code below
    <?php
    // initialize a variable to store the previous activity
       $previous = ' ';
       do { 
             if ($row_rsVolunteersFriday['assignedactivity'] != $previous)
                { echo "<b>".$row_rsVolunteersFriday['assignedactivity']."</b><br>"; 
                 echo $row_rsVolunteersFriday['firstname']." "; 
                 echo $row_rsVolunteersFriday['lastname']."<br>";
    // store the current name in the $previous variable
                $previous = $row_rsVolunteersFriday['assignedactivity'];
                } else
    ?>
                     <a href  = ”showvolunteer.php?volunteernumber=
                     <?php echo $row_rsVolunteersFriday['volunteernumber']; ?>&tab=3" title="Show Volunteer Information">
                     <?php echo $row_rsVolunteersFriday['firstname']." ".$row_rsVolunteersFriday['lastname']; ?></a><br />
    <?php
    ?>
    <?php } while ($row_rsVolunteersFriday = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsVolunteersFriday));
    ?>
    I'm using DW CS4 with PHP and MySQL.
    Thanks for any assistance, I've been staring at this for hours and can't see what I did wrong.
    Tony

    Never mind !! I found it and fixed it.
    In case anyone else has this problem it turned out that when I copy/pasted some code I stupidly did some editing
    in MS Word then copy/pasted from Word to DW Code view. This inserted an extraneous
    new line and converted the leading quote into something that looked like a quote and wasn't.....sigh

  • Why is my iPhone so slow and signals are jumping in and out

    My iphone is failing my with the signals after i updated the software to ios7

    Any change after a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release?

  • The behavior of the emergent forms of the software in RD Web App is different in Mac and iPhone-iPad, they appear and disappear intermittently. (Remote Desktop Services - Azure).

    In Mac the forms are not integrated as one window, they appear and disappear intermittently. There is no option to configure it. In the iPhone-iPad RDP app, there is no problem with
    that, when some form gets focus the other forms remain stable. Do you have any suggestions?<o:p></o:p>

    Hi David,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.

  • IPad mini is flicking in and out of apps on its own. What can I do

    My iPad mini is jumping in and out of apps on its own.  Or when I'm in one and try to close it goes to home screen and app is jiggling then it reopens not closing. Then will start just opening programs at will

    It's usually just a problem when the app crashes and then you tap it again and then it closes and opens again, it will usually stop after a few times. If this is happening while you are in an app and it crashes and does that, it's no problem, just wait a couple of seconds and play the app again, nothing will happen. It's no biggie, don't even sweat it, it rarely happens. Besides, it's happened to me too, it does no damage to your IPad mini.

  • Compressor 3.02 In and Out Points Not Correct

    This is a follow up to my compressor truncating movies post. I'd like to reiterate that my workflow has not changed and no new software has been added to my system. This work flow used to work like a charm, however after the most recent pro applications update this bug surfaced.
    If i drag and drop any uncompressed .mov into compressor, compressor incorrectly detects the in and out points for that clip and truncates the file on output. It seems to be by the same amount every time.
    Example:
    Clip 1 is a 320x240 uncompressed .mov file created and exported directly from final cut pro (exported as self-contained). the file is 1:53:32 in duration.
    Drop that clip into compressor and it sets the in-point at 59:56:09 (it does this every time no matter what clip i try to compress...) and incorrectly reports the duration of the movie as 1:53:05. these in and out times and duration are found in the preview window. no in and out points are set in compressor.
    this being said, the resulting output file (same size, same frame rate - no changes to timing) is truncated and the last 4 seconds and change are cropped off the end of the clip.
    Any ideas? anybody else have the same kind of problem and find a fix?
    I've trashed preferences to no avail... help!
    karl

    right - the question is... what do we do about it?
    i have been able to narrow this down to a problem with footage that's 23.98 fps only however as this is part of my 24p workflow - and because it's the only reason i'm using fcp at this point -- in essence, this problem renders the entire final cut studio useless.
    so frustrating!
    who's found a workaround/fix for this?? i've been using this same workflow successfully for years and in previous versions of final cut. this problem only surfaced in the past couple of weeks.
    AAARGH!

  • I installed 4.01 and now when I click on a link in the menus or the seach window, the whole firefox browser window jumps

    This happens when I click on most menu links. For example, if I click on Help and select "About Firefox" the entire browser window jumps. The same goes for if I click on the default search box or on the Google Toolbar search box.
    If I click on something out of Firefox, such as my desktop or an open program, it jumps when I click the Firefox tab on my task bar to return to Firefox.
    When I click a shortcut link, such as in bookmarks, it does not do it.

    For those of you who have tried to clear this problem up with virus scans, various malware scanning programs, tdss rootkiller, etc....I have another possibility. I found another thread on this very forum where someone suggested the problem was in the router...specifically, there were manually entered DNS addresses in the router setup. I logged into my router (192.168.1.1) and sure enough, there were DNS addresses loaded and it was setup to use those DNS addresses. I simply clicked on the option to pull the DNS addresses automatically from my ISP, changed the password, and the problem was gone.
    Thanks to cr85tx for the solution!!!

  • Firefox 5.0 on Windows 7 jumpy, window title bar pops in and out, window resizes.

    Question pretty much sums it up. Windows Title bar keeps flitting in and out, causing screen to jump. Concurrently, right and bottom window margins resize a bit smaller. No apparent rhyme or reason, but leads to a lot of bad mouse clicks. Unrelated to whether the bookmarks tab is open or not. Happens in safemode as well, and my theme is the default. I don't want a plug-in to fix this, I want Firefox 5.0 to behave properly on its own.

    The Views menu is only meant to view bookmarks in a different sort order (hence the name of that menu). It doesn't have any lasting effects.

  • Active window jumps to viewer window out of timeline for no reason

    Active window jumps to viewer window out of timeline for no reason.  For example I will be editing in timeline and all of sudden I will try a keyboard shortcut but it will take effect in the viewer window and not in the timeline.  Is this something I am doing wrong?  This never happened in the last year I have been using FCPX until a few months ago it started happening.  Already tried trashing prefs, restarting, etc. etc.

    Why don't you get the latest version (v1.4.2). It is almost guaranteed of working. Java is backwards-compatible so 1.2 programs can run with a 1.4 JRE.
