Cannot select text through cursor more

Hello

Last week, something happened to my computer.  The mouse cursor has changed making it impossible to select/highlight text more.  The arrow has changed in the hand.  I was in Control Panel and tried to change this back like that, but nothing works.  I am unable to point to anything and make it happen.  For example, that I was unable to click in this area to type because it was a helping hand.  I had the right click on the mouse and press ESC to get the cursor here.  I have no idea of what has past and it's really annoying.  I'm on the computer all day for United and be able to highlight text to copy and paste.  This made it impossible to do so.  I really hope someone can help me.

Thank you

  • With 10 FF, when you access fields: no cursor doesn't appear, cannot select text, no visual indication that you have access to a field.

    When you click in a field to enter text (as in this text box), no visual indicator appears (for example, a cursor blinking) to let you know that you have access to the field. In addition, when you select the text in the field, there is no indicator that you have selected text (do not be highlighted). The only way to know is to start typing or trying to cut text or paste text. It is not at all intuitive.

    You encounter this bug that will be fixed in Firefox 10.0.1, eventually published later this week.

  • Cannot select text in the file Acrobat DC

    The old Acrobat had a hand picker icon and text that I could use to pan the page of the document or selection of text in the page.

    Now, how can I select text, since I do not see the text Selector icon in the toolbar and I currently my cursor 'stuck' on a dynamic zoom slider I've previously selected and now can't get rid of.


    I don't want to go into "Edit" mode I just select text non-edit mode.

    Help, please. I am very frustracted with the toolbar being changed to useless tools.

    MC

    Hi MChampa-

    You don't need to add anything to the toolbar as it exists already. Make sure your program window is wide enough to see the tools. You have the Pan tool and the text tool on the toolbar of controls on the Page, shown here as a floating toolbar.

    You must move your cursor to the bottom of the document window in order to see the controls on the Page if they are floating. If you prefer, you can anchor the with the toolbars at the top of the page by clicking on the icon to the right indicating the arrow upward. The two icons on the left are the ones you describe, I believe.

  • Design mode - cannot select text, only the Divs

    This is a page I have did not build, and I hope that I can describe it correctly. Here are the published page-

    www.WheelTime.com

    I'm in CS4 and there are two things happening when you try to change in design view. The first is that I can't select text content. Clicking to select such content, for example a line of text or a Word, selects and highlights the container div any and all content to the breast in a big piece. Why is DW not let me choose the actual content? It's the first time I met enver this problem.

    It is the same for all ontainers div on the page. But a related problem may have to do with this content area. In design mode, there is a fixed height, so not only can I not select content, but I do not see everything. It of OK in the browser, develops as it should. I have looked at all the properties of any place and don't see any height attribute anywhere, particularly those that define this content area.

    A you ask - this content area is warpped in a 'main content' div, with a class applied. But this div has no corresponding entry or properties in the style sheet. I can see where a div can be used has no specific properies of its own, but it's OK, not at all mentioned in the style sheet? And this can affect what happens in Design view editing?

    So, I guess that the question is what governs this inability to change in Design view?  Thank you in advance!

    Have you tried to double click on the content?

    I do not know what causes this exactly, but I downloaded your page and it ran into my DWCS4. Until I double click on the content of the div, it does the same thing. Allowed me to select without problem from there.

    It may have something to do with the content that is wrapped in the tags within each

    .

    On your other question, your

    is affected by the class .container in your style.css instead of an id #main file - container.

    EDIT: The HTML id Type

    used to identify the elements for many purposes, not just css. There is no problem with giving an element an id simply for organization purposes, although usually they are used as targets for javascripts, css, or php script ends.

  • 10.11.4 - cannot select words of keyboard more

    Hey there,

    Since update 10.11.4 yesterday, I can't select more words from keyboard:

    ALT + SHIFT + left/right arrow

    Before the update that this shortcut could allowed me to quickly select words by keyboard only.

    single: ALT + SHIFT + up arrow / down paragraphs selection work.

    and ALT + left arrow / right to jump with the cursor between words.

    Anyone else who has this problem?

    I'm having the same problem as well since the 10.11.4 upgrade. I've yet to find a solution for this, and the question is very irritating.

  • Layout CSS based - cannot select text to change

    We recently conducted an upgrade to our site. The complete layout is basic css. The problem we encountered is that Contribute users can select is no longer content with the mouse. In fact, the only way to change the content is to use the arrow keys on the keyboard. Although it is possible to change the content in this way it is very tedious and confusing to most of our users.

    I tired to change pages based on a template, and not based on a template pages and get the same question.
    What can I do to fix this?

    Thank you
    Matthew

    I finally understood the question. Thank you Chris5337, you me engaged in the correct path. It turns out that there was a problem with padding. The padded div is 'covered' If you want all the other div which held the text. Once I got rid of the padding I could select any text I wanted.

  • Cannot select text in the drop-down menu after you have installed Indesign CC2015.

    I cleared the cache of police, I have re-installed the whole program and I checked the other apps for similar problems, there are none. Not really sure where to go from here.

    As a work around, I am able to scroll through the list and make your choice with the keys on my keyboard. Not really ideal if!

    Any suggestions?

    No, if it works in another account we need not the test Mode without failure.

    Make sure InDesign is closed, then:

    See replace your preferences for the paths to the TWO hidden folders where the prefs are located and rename or delete them in the original user account. A copy of these two entire folders, not only the content from the account that works and stick to the appropriate locations in the account which is not.

  • Cannot select text and scroll down on any web page.

    The problem is that in Firefox, other applications work fine. I've tried reseting my computer and reset Firefox start Firefox in safe mode with disabled modules. None of these things has solved the problem. Help would be appreciated.

    Update:
    -L'OS is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
    -The issue is not specific to Firefox, but any window full-screen (now I feel stupid for asking this question).
    -Just found this bug on Launchpad report:
    https://bugs.Launchpad.NET/Ubuntu/+source/Firefox/+bug/744580
    The problem occurs because the scrolling down is only triggered by the pointer is what past beyond the highlight box. The problem persists as long as the windows are full-screen; scrolling should occur when the pointer of the hit the lower edge of the screen, but does not work. If the window is made smaller the pointer may move beyond its edge and allows to scroll down while highlighting. This isn't a real solution, but there is a patch available in the forum section linked above (see comment #8).

  • Customizations of text entry cursor prevent text selection

    I use construction plus late 4.4 available on a compact Z1, (even if it's the same on 4.3).

    I note that Sony has added a customization where a magnifying glass appears when you move a text cursor. The problem with this implementation is that magnifying glass to prevent you from being able to select text in situations where this would be possible on stock Android!

    Just found out that you can select in place by double-clicking rather than organize, so I guess that it is a partial solution. Consistency with the AOSPS would be better however.

  • Cannot get the "< FEFF >" string in the selected text [indesign CS6]

    Hello world!

    I can't get the string to the selected text. The selected text contains several xml tags.

    In adobe indesign cc version of 2014, the selected text is bring the string «< FEFF >» tags

    In indesign adobe cs6 version cannot get the string "< FEFF >. they do ""-empty space.

    Screen Shot 2015-09-23 at 6.01.25 PM.png

    Are the above-selected text contains several xml tags.

    but I get content using script code can't get the string.

    Screen Shot 2015-09-23 at 6.02.51 PM.png

    the script gives the result, xml tags are converted to "". ""  I expect "< FEFF >.

    I expect the output is: "< FEFF > Applescript < FEFF > < FEFF > selected text < FEFF > < FEFF > < FEFF >."

    Please help me...

    Thank you

    John Peter.

    the script gives the result, xml tags are converted to "". ""  I expect to ''.

    The xml tags are not converted to "" but "\uFEFF" (zero-width space non-bec), it is the character used to represent the tags in a text frame. Looks like the apple script converts a hexadecimal representation unicode values.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro: cannot copy the selected text unless I have a highlighting of the text

    I highlighted the text in a document. When I go to copy this text, it selects the whole sentence. I right click, the menu starts with "set status. There is no option "copy". No control-C is successful. When I paste then, he pastes a previously selected text, not the text I'm trying to copy in Acrobat. The only way I found to copy the selected text to the United Nations is a development and then copy it. Are there other solutions?

    Thank you!

    Thanks for the reply, Gerry.  I'm no stranger to computer, having started in 1962 in the Navy for 20 years.  The HD is fine.  I used the Hitachi software testing to verify this.  RAM is also fine after running MEMTest for about 17 hours.  CHKDSK shows up at all no error.

    I agree it could be caused by a hardware fault and looking for that I ran some tension and trials of O-scope on the motherboard.  The only discrepancy I found was Aida64 Pro told me that the 3.3V rail was only 1.75 v.  My DS was told that the rail was 3.327.  This led to the conclusion that maybe the sensor was messed up.  I have an almost identical computer with a motherboard in the same series and Aida reports that rail even as 3.319v.  So, I think that the motherboard may be offset slightly.

    The re - install is an easier way to remove a large number of applications I just didn't need more and had not touched in over a year.  Revo even would have struggled to clear the registry after such massive uninstall.

    I found that the results from a command prompt is quite easy if you issue the command once, read the results on the screen, and then do it again but to redirect the output to a text file ("' do_whatever > test_output.txt '").  All you have to do is cop0y and paste a post.

    This re - install and the subsequent installation of SP2, seems to have solved the error of the event: for now.
