Cursor flashes quickly between the pointer and the hand when you move the link.

Whenever it starts occurring, the status bar will start also flickering between showing the value of href of the link target and nothing, and tooltips (which would normally appear on the overview) briefly appear and disappear. The same thing happens with the drop-down menus Javascript, making it nearly impossible then to navigate on a site based on Java.

I'm running Firefox on a replacement desktop laptop (Dell Inspiron 9400), a netbook (Asus Eee 1000) and a PC (the one I'm doing this report from) and all have the same problem, even when I did a complete uninstall and reinstall FF and even when using different combinations of extensions.

Same Prblem reported here, but with Ubuntu:

https://bugs.Launchpad.NET/Ubuntu/+source/Firefox/+bug/87043

but no solution. I am completely baffled and increasingly annoyed.

It is not triggered by any certain pages or technologies - it is apparently random, affecting 10 to 20% of the loading of the page.

The bug seems to be related focus and can be cancelled in about 80% of cases by placing the cursor over a link in another window or tab. The other 20% of the time that it cannot be cleared by restarting.

I work for a co WebDev. We had to drop as our browser development and recommend customers away from him at the moment. It's a pain in the anus, because we are so much a part of the design of extensions in FF.

  • Size of the image changes when you move an image between Lightroom and CC.

    Size of the image changes when you move an image between Lightroom and CC.

    I opened a .dng image in LR and then opened it in the develop module.  I clicked on Crop Overlay and then on the "As Shot" (the lock is closed) menu drop-down and cropped to 11 x 17 and click 'Done '-.

    I click Ctrl-E and the image opens in the CC.  I click on the Image > Image size and the size of the Image is 13,288 inches on 20,533.

    Why change the size of the image?

    I believe that there is a menu to control the size of the image, and I've looked everywhere I see in LR and CC, I have googled various descriptions and I checked both Kelby books, but I can't understand not just how to keep the image at a uniform height when moving between LR and CC.

    Help!... Please?

    The size of the image has not changed. The number of pixels has not changed. Let me tell you. The number of pixels has not changed to a single pixel.

    The numbers relatively meaningless displayed by your software have changed.

    The image is always format 11 x 17 (17 divided by 11 = 1.545 and 20.533 divided by 13.288 = 1.545)

  • Cursor flashing quickly on Equium A100-306

    Having bought my new laptop A100-306 in December, I have now problems with the cursor flashes quickly (and disappears completely when the mouse is not moved) on some applications/games such as the Sims 2 and Home Designer 3D 3D.

    I downloaded the latest driver for the graphics card intel 945 GM, but there is still no improvement. The problem is that I don't see where the mouse is that if I continue to move and even in this case the fast blink is very annoying.

    If anyone knows how to cure the Please this problem and if it's a common problem with this model? As far as I can remember, we had a week without a problem when we first loaded the Sims 2 initially.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Concerning

    Giles

    Is - it the same cursor flicker problem also with common application like MS Word or excel for example?
    If note, I assume that this has nothing to do with the laptop but with games

    It of possible that the simple Intel 945GM graphics card 8 MB - 128 MB shared memory is not powerful enough to play games and 3D applications.

    PS: Try to change some settings in the Intel graphics card settings. You will find the 3D settings button. You may need to activate something. Play a bit with this function

    Can stick us to the standard terminology of APEX: do you mean Parent (level 2) tab or the tab Standard (level 2)?

    Parent tabs this is done directly using the box Erase the Cache property and reset pagination for this page of the tab target.

    For the Standard tabs, create processes from before header tab target:

  • Session state > clear Cache...

  • Reset the Pagination

  • with the auto more recent updated version of firefox now there is a white bar that appears when you move your mouse over this area. I want that gone, how?

    When you move your mouse below the address bar opens a white bar, making it so you can't click on buttons or links on sites, like buttons connection for example. also when using the full screen, you can no more mouse on the tabs at the top of the screen, only this white bar appears. This prtty much kills its use full screen for me. Thus, this white popup bar and mode full screen with the white bar without tabs firefox has pretty much ruined it for me. in any case to fix it would be great.

  • Firefox 17.0.7. Display the menu, when you are using extended view (Win7), flickers off when you move the slider to a selection. Reg FF version works fine.

    Using Windows 7, view extended., Firefox 17.0.7

    Firefox menus (file, editing, etc.) and user bookmark lists flicker in and out of visibility when you move the slider to a selection. This happens on the primary display only the second screen. It does not occur on regular product version (23, etc.) and does not occur on any other application.

    We are required to use version 17 on internal business machines.

    Bob Hello, that might be a problem with hardware acceleration - try updating your graphics driver, or in case this does not solve the problem, or there is no new version available at the time, disable hardware acceleration in firefox > options > advanced > General.

  • T60 freezes when you move the trackpoint right after starting

    Hello

    I had this problem for quite a long time. Initially, I thought that it was due to an update to Windows XP, but I couldn't find any message on newspapers when the laptop crashes. I reinstalled XP many times to get rid of any incompatibility related to the software, but even with a new installation, it was happening.

    I realized recently after several tests that the problem occurred more frequently when you move the mouse (trackpoint or touchpad) just after the start of the system (cold start or start of hibernation). What I discovered is that this will happen is no longer if I suspend the laptop after starting the system, do not touch the mouse.

    The symptoms are that Windows freezes. No activity at all HD, the system responds to any keyboard and mouse input. If I close the lid of the portable computer system is not put into hibernation. The only way to regain normal operation is pressing the button for a few seconds, then the system turns off, and then turn on normally.

    All the drivers are up to date.

    Someone at - there experience this problem?

I managed to do it using Photoshop and the separate layers and import it, but it is not a good solution. All suggestions will be welcome.

    You can try to use the widget of the Composition of the ToolTip. In this way, the trigger area is isolated and a "State of reversal" can be placed anywhere on the screen (compared to the trigger).

    • Remove the two triggers additional default

  • Error messages when you move files PSE13 and PSE14

    I am reorganizing my records of PSE 14.1 (and a few hours before using the PES 13) on Windows 10. This means that I'm moving them from one disk to another using the view of folders on the left panel of the PES.

    Everything goes very well with the first shift after the launch of PSE. No error message and the files in the folder find you in the right place with the folder.

    But for much of the subsequent move there is several error message boxes that must be pressed one by one to move forward. Much more than the number of files involved. However, ultimately files and folders get into their expected places. But with dozens and dozens of needless (?) Click on the OK button.

    Error messages that I see are

    • "A folder with the same name already exist in the requested location" - which is patently false, as I'm only moving called records and verifying that I won't have existing folders with the same name instead of the target. The record was 16 photos inside and the message popped up 55 times.
    • "The operation could not be performed. "The error occurred because of invalid characters, read only location or existing folder with the same name"-this comes very often after the message stated above, but not always. And in multiples as well.

    And every now and then the move operation is going well through.

    I tried to understand if there is a model - but nothing so far... I use no "special characters" in the filenames etc...

    Is there another way to move the folders? Is there a solution to this behavior?

    juhar76990688 wrote:

    Looks like I have at least found a way easier and more predictable and easier to reorganize my files: travel using Windows file / folder management tools-, then to reconnect files from PSE. In this way, I know how many dialog boxes, I need to treat every step - and it is much less than the way PES...

    Yes, it was what I was going to suggest it.

    I did not PSE14 because I'm away from home now. I've already met these messages before, and I think you are right that the first time you move a folder to a new empty destination tree, you do not have problems. I would not be surprised if there was a real bug in the display of folders when you move files repeatedly, but I was not able to reproduce the problem. A possible source of problems would be the way the folder hierarchy is updated in elements; I guess that to keep this folder updated tree, there is a procedure of "cache" to speed up the process (folders display in the tree should work with an image of the Explorer, supplemented by information in the catalog itself). Older versions were very buggy in folders view, but I'm not sure that the current version (since PSE11) is absolutely foolproof.

    Move the folders step by step from the Explorer and reconnect immediately seem to be the best in your case.

  • A1-830 flashing screen between the lines running and display

    Tablet for years.  The display of the A1-830 began yesterday flashes between the display and execution of vertical lines.  When the screen is exposed, it will accept touch and can accept requested measures.  However, cannot work between the flashing vertical lines.  Not verified no update pending.  Tried to find the rogue app, but flashing happening now every two seconds (mounted) and unable to see display for a long time.  At this stage do not know if an another alternative of data factory reset and not even sure if it would solve the problem.  Tablet not recently declined or new applications have been installed before display glitching.  Any help appreciated.

    It seems more a hardware than software problem but a factory reset is always useful to refine the culript.

    You can do the factory reset from recovery instead of the android OS.

  • monitors flash when you move the cursor

    I have three monitors for use in FSX.  Normally, all my programs, for example, Gmail, visits, casino games, etc. to display on the monitor Center.  I use Chrome browser with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 b.  For some reason, when I scroll upwards or downwards, or sometimes just move the arrow cursor, my left and right monitors flash with a background of 'ghosts' appearing intermittently.  Ghost poster background on strength wallpaper.  I used CCleaner, Glary Utilities, MalwareBytes.  I also used the disc of Windows 7, cleaning, optimization and defragmentation of the features.  The flashing is always present.  Does anyone have any ideas how I can fix this problem?
