must click twice on the icon in the dock to go to an open application

Switching to an open app that is on a different page/Office on my iMac workspace, requires two clicks on the application dock icon.  The first click evokes the name of the application in the menu bar (development of earnings) but will not start the application.  The second click switches to the application.  El Capitan, before it allows access to the application on the first click.  It's boring, clues as to why this behavior?

Oops! Just found.  In the prefs system under control of the mission, there is an option to switch to a space with windows open for this application.

  • By clicking twice on the pause/play button

    Hello

    I had a break and a button "play" to my slide show.

    The pause button is just a boks with the code for the click action:

    {sym.$('btn'). Click (Function ()})

    SYM. Stop();

    });

    The pause button is a boks with the code for the click action:

    {sym.$('btnPlay'). Click (Function ()})

    var timelinePos = sym.getPosition ();

    SYM. Play (timelinePos);

    });

    It works, but in the beginning, I have to click twice before the function.

    It's only the first time. After that, everything works fine.

    Does anyone know what could be the problem?

    Heya,

    I think there is an easier way for you to do. Try adding the following to the item you want to play/pause:

    var playing = sym.isPlaying ();

    If (playing = true) {}

    SYM. Stop();

    } ElseIf (playing = false) {}

    SYM. Play();

    }

    This will make the button stop (suspend) the calendar when he plays and play the timeline when it is stopped.

    See you soon,.

  • must click twice to focus on an application

    This problem is rather difficult to describe, and I do not know the correct jargon, so I had to hurt looking for another thread that can ask the same question.

    Situation: I have two applications (this happens with any combination of applications), let's say TextEdit and calculator. The 'focus' is on the calculator. I can type in numbers from the keyboard, or click with the mouse on the calculator figures so he computes. No problem. But, if I want to then bring 'focus' to the TextEdit window - where if I type something - when I move the mouse anywhere on the window in TextEdit and click, it does not update to TextEdit and it remains greyed out. the focus remains on calculator.

    In order to get to restore the focus to TextEdit so I can type, I have to click twice on the app. However, I can't double-click on it or it will minimize the window. I have to click once, wait a few seconds, so it won't register as a doubclick and then click New. It of incredibly frustrating, slows down my work flow and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to change it. Happened for quite awhile, and I think changed after I downloaded some sort of new update, which one I don't remember unfortunately.

    Again, this happens with both applications. I am aware to be able to use the command + tab to switch between apps and I use it often, but sometimes using my mouse to organize windows or any other action is necessary.

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Thank you!

  • Had to click twice on the page of the ADF

    I have a page in the ADF in which are some text entry fields and selectBoolenRadio fields, select a choice to enter the list of values. This form starts with all the fields in the disabled state and the user must click on a button to activate the fields to change the data. When the user clicks this button, nothing happens, when you click it once again, the action is call. I followed the beforePhaseEvent to this page and I noticed that at first (when the user makes the first click), the ADF jumps directly to RENDER_RESPONSE and when the user makes the second click, the ADF pass for all the steps correctly. I don't know what else to do to solve this problem. Please help me.

    First of all, why not use af:commandButton instead of the toolbar button?

    and the method that you use reload the entire page which is not a good practice to load the page everytime

    Place just partial relaxation on the form fields to refresh the fields (no need for this method)

    have you tried true immediately on the button?

  • Must click twice

    I have a Panasonic Toughbook 53 running 8.1 Win and Photoshop CS6. Since the upgrade to 8.1 I often have to click twice before any given tool is activated. So if I press (v) to activate the move tool, my first click on the workspace is essentially a death click on, then the second click moves my image/layer/object. It often happens in Camera RAW as well. It's driving me crazy... any ideas?

    Well I finally understood what the problem was. There is a feature in the settings of Windows 8.1 that allows you to set an offset of the mouse to avoid changes unwanted cursor while typing. Shot he took and problem solved.

  • How can I remove an application at the bottom of my screen to open applications?

    When I double click the home button to bring up the screen to open apps, there is always a bar Amazon Video below that says something like "Hello, Lucy." The app is certainly not open, so I see no reason to make it on the screen of the open applications. If I slide the bar to remove it, the application opens. Is it possible to remove this ad?

    You have installed the Amazon Video app?  If Yes, is it allowed to run in the background in the settings?

  • The validator error will take after clicking twice on the component

    Hello

    I have two components selectOneRadio in my form of the ADF. The possbile for these radio buttons values are 'Yes' and 'No '.

    I put the validation that when sending in the value of the form for the radio button should not be 'no '. That's why I implemented the valiadator on these components and it works perfectly fine.

    However on UI I see that when the validator error when after selecting 'no', I again click that radio button, the error popup go away. So that the user sees that he chose the 'no' for two option buttons, but actually inside the latest is not selected, I got to know after registering or submitting the task. This bad guide the end user.

    Question:
    How can we keep the pop up consistantly poping when validation fails OR the user to display the currently selected values?

    Please let know us if there is a way to solve this problem.

  • Click twice on the questions of DateChooser

    Hello
    I am trying to accomplish the function of double click on DateChooser and it seems that I am running into problems of getting the value of the date to the date that has been double click. Currently, I am constantly the message that says Invalid Date.

    Here is the code, and I suspect that to do something with the type of event of my function, but I don't know everything.

    private void useDate2(eventObj:MouseEvent):void {}

    If (eventObj.currentTarget.selectedDate == null) {/ / Make sure selectedDate isn't null.}
    don't do a thing
    }
    else {//Access the object from the Date of the event object.

    var date:String=eventObj.currentTarget.selectedDate.getDate();
    var month: String = eventObj.currentTarget.selectedDate.getMonth ();
    var year: String = eventObj.currentTarget.selectedDate.getFullYear ();
    wholeDate = new Date(year,month,date);
    I get an invalid date when I'm trying to find the value of this
    trace (wholeDate.toDateString ());
    var xlc3:XMLListCollection = new XMLListCollection (searchResult... book. (@Name == selectedName).appt.@type);
    var xlc4:XMLListCollection = new XMLListCollection (searchResult... Book.@name);
    var xlc5:XMLListCollection = new XMLListCollection (searchResult... book. (@Name == selectedName).appt.@date);
    for each {(var xml5:XML in xlc5)
    var real_date:Date = new Date (xml5.toString ());
    for each {(var xml4:XML in xlc4)
    var schedule_name:Date = new Date (xml4.parent ()... date);
    trace (schedule_name.toDateString ());

    {If (schedule_name.toDateString () = {wholeDate.toDateString ())}

    }
    {If (real_date.toDateString () = {wholeDate.toDateString ())}
    trace (real_date.toDateString ());
    trace (XML5. Parent (). @type ToString());
    } //end if
    }
    } //end for each xlc5

    } //end the else statement
    }

    private function calendar_create (): void {}

    DCH = new DateChooser();

    activate the Enabled property double click
    dch.doubleClickEnabled = true;

    activate the Enabled property double click

    dch.addEventListener ("doubleClick", useDate2);

    }

    Can someone give me please on a few tips on how I could get the value date of the double element clicked here?

    Thanks in advance.

    Of course, Alice, hope this helps.

  • Double click on the Home button does not show open applications?

    Why not double click on the Home button shows my open apps? I have an iphone 6Plus, and I want to close some applications that do not work properly.

    Try a forced reboot. Hold down the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons at the same time for about 15 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. You won't lose anything. And then try to click double fast to access the app selector window. Note that these applications are not open. May be best to remove the apps and reinstall, but try the above first.

    He probably could if your fax/modem may wake the computer from sleep mode. But you would still have to wonder if the fax send would wait long enough for the PC to detect the ring, wake up and be ready to deal with a fax.

    It's a question of how the recipients e-mail programs deal with attachments. Many e-mail programs will open all the files they can handle, including files jpg and PDF, by default, and if the recipient has not changed that there is nothing you can do about it. The only solution is to the compress first, then it will be delivered as an attachment, allowing the recipient to decompress and open it.
