Illustrator :: Flashing Text Cursor Not Visible On Portion Of Screen?
Jul 18, 2012
Apparently the issue has been happening since as far back as CS2. The flashing text cursor is only visible in the upper left hand portion of the screen. If the text your are attempting to edit is on the far right or bottom of the screen, the cursor vanishes. Some people have suggested zooming in and out, but this only appears to solve the problem because the art board may get nudged into the "good" portion of the screen. I did a screen shot and found that the cursor is only visible in about a 930p x 600p area of the window (not including toolbars). Incindentally, the is the same size that the window defaults to when initially opened. On a HD monitor, this amounts to a very small space.
Since a few versions (I have Illustrator CC), my cursor in Illustrator input fields flashes extremely fast when i drag the cursor over such field. This could be a regular text input field or anything similar where you can type in something or adjust a value by clicking and dragging.
What happens is that the cursor changes to the Illustrator cursor and then back to the Windows arrow cursor in an extremely fast manner. It happens so fast, that it completely slows down the mouse interaction and the cursor movement lags behind my interaction.
I have Win 7 x64 with the newest display drivers. This problem occurs only in Illustrator and Flash.
My cursor appears and disappears while in GIMP as I move the cursor over the canvas. I can make the cursor appear but only if there is no movement of the cursor. It makes no difference which tool I select, the size of the canvas, or the level of zoom.
Please note that this only occurs in Gimp, and none of my other applications. It started when I upgraded from openSUSE 12.1 to 12.2. I'm assuming that it has something to do with my input device configuration, but I could be totally wrong.
I have a total of 3 input devices - Core Pointer, Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse, and Virtual Core XTEST Pointer. Both the Optical Mouse and XTEST Pointer are DISABLED. Core Pointer is the only one enabled. Enabling Optical Mouse and XTEST Pointer give me other problems in Gimp and need to remain disabled.
For the Core Pointer, Mode is set to SCREEN, a message says that 'The axis X has no curve', and the following Axis Settings: X 1 Y 2 Pressure none xtilt none ytilt none wheel none
In Gimp Preferences->Input Controllers, there are three active controllers - Mouse Buttons, Main Mouse Wheel, and Main Keyboard.
I am using a temporary computer, as mine is being re-formated.When I opened Illustrator to change a text-line in a picture, there was no cursor when I clicked on a word. I could still make my change, but no blinking cursor to tell me where I was.
how they thought at Adobe when they constructed the help-file as it is now... If I open the help-file in Illustrator, select that I want an answer for Illustrator (the icon to the right of the search-box) WHY do I get answers for InDesign, Bridge and other programs?WHY not just for Illustrator? I am NOT interested in those programs right now.
I recently had to reinstall my OS (Win 7 64 bit) and after doing the same to my photoshop program, I now get a flashing cursor that changes to a waiting circle. Other post talked about DPI and Java, which I have checked and still have the same problem. I've had the program installed on the same computer without this problem, and the setup is the same with the usual update in drivers.
One of my co-worker has this problem with his cursor's crosshairs. When he moves his cursor the crosshairs are like blinking or sort of flashing. It's not that big of a problem but it's just getting anoying in a short while.
When I open any acad drawing acad immediately goes into regenerating model with a flashing screen. It will not allow any commands and I need to kill the application using the task manager.
I have had numerous problems trying to print from 2014 using the setting "Visible portion of current window". This feature was never that good, anyway, but now it seems to be WAY worse. I'm spending 5-10 minutes to just send something to the printer that should only take 5 seconds.
See the attached images of what I see on screen, the print dialog boxes and then what I actually get. The "Center" option doesn't function properly and now I must manually adjust the margins to print what I see on the screen.
I just starting working with AutoCad 2014 Lt....and its great. I have a problem with the interface when I have two drawings open at the same time that are xref'd...the screen starts flashing, mouse dragging and the operations are very slow. Example,. if I have the plan open and the elevations open in two separate model space drawings but the plan is xref'd into the elev for reference. Is this an issue for others? What is the fix? This didn't happen in our older ACAD 2005. It is distressing, and I thought it was a server issue, but if I work off my station only, it still happens.
I need to get the visible portion of a particular layer in the final image.Lets say i have 4 layers and some portion of each layer is visible in the flattened image i would like to get the portion from each of the layers. The input will be in xcvf format.I will ideally want to automate this and output to file in some format looking like this,
Layer1 ---> Co-ordinates of visible polygon from this particular layer in the image . Layer2 ---> And so on.
How to proceed with the script. I think brute force is to take each non-transparent pixel and and find the same pixel in all above layers if it is not found it will be added to the region.Or something exists like selection from alpha combined with multiple layers ?
Or if there is a way to find out for an image with all layers visible which pixel came from which layer ?
I have a frustrating problem in CS3 that when writing a block of text, either with text tool or area text tool, that the cursor disappears. I need to see its new position after using the space bar or tab: ready to input the next piece of text. It seems to be flashing some of the time if I click into the middle of the text block, but disappears where I want to continue it at the bottom of the text block?
I recently bought a Bamboo Pen tablet to use with GIMP and have been installing under Windows (XP).
The tablet installs fine, is recognised by GIMP and I can draw with the stylus. Excellent. The only problem is that the cursor/arrow is missing which means that I can draw things but I only know where the stylus is when I start to write/draw.
I am hoping that this is a simple settings issue but how to make the cursor/arrow visible?
Now that I know how to get my screen menu to appear, I would like to edit the standard screen menu to one I replaced it with in previous versions. In the past, I would edit Acad.mns or Acad.mnu and replace the screen menu section with my new screen menu.
Now Acad.mns and mnu don't exist and I presume I have to customize Acad.cuix, except I can't find any reference to screen menus in the cui editor to be able to customize the screen menu.
I have disable the application frame in Photoshop CC and now all new windows open up in the top left corner of my screen BEHIND all of the brush and tool setting windows. How can I change this?
i just started seeing the very top portion of the taskbar in full screen mode. It is just a thin line that gives you access to the taskbar without minimizing CS6. I am running Windows 7 64 bit on a loaded PC.
I want to select all text frames on all visible layers. The script below will select all text frames even in groups but when a layer with text on it is invisible the script will error.(target layer cannot be modified)
if (app.documents.length > 0 ) { var doc = app.activeDocument; var numTextFrames = 0; for ( i = 0; i < doc.textFrames.length; i++ ) { textArtRange = doc.textFrames[i]; textArtRange.selected = true; } }
So I made this script to select text frames on only the visible layers but it now misses text that is in a group.
var layerCount = activeDocument.layers.length; var docSelected = activeDocument.selection; for (i = 0; i < layerCount; i++)
[Code] .....
Why it does not selected textframes in a group when done this way and is there a way to get all textframes selected on all visible layers?
I am finally getting used to the operation of CWC and find it usable, but one thing bothers me. The page layout only fills the center one-third of the screen.
Recently i have been having a problem with Illustrator CC where while im working the top bar, tools etc will flash once for around a second then go back to normal while im doing this sometimes certain objects will be hard to move because of the flickering this keeps happening while working. Its kind of hard to explain really i have tried reinstalling Illustrator that didn't do anything and also resetting my preference which also didn't do anything. Ive tested other adobe products such as Photoshop which work fine no flickering.
I thought perhaps it could be a graphics card problems but tested a few video games and they run perfectly fine.
Is it possible to create a field that will show only a portion of the contents within an text object? Maybe using diesel or something?
Example:
There is a text object that contains "FIRST TEST", is it possible to create a field from that object that contains the first 5 letters of the text "FIRST". If the original text was changed to "SECOND TEST" the field would be updated "SECON"
Using PSP X3 on an Win7 Home Premium system with an ATI HD 5700 Series card.My Version is 13.2.0.35 and video card driver/software was updated 2 days ago.
I do a lot of screen captures but I have not been able to get X3 to include the Cursor in the capture!!I have tried it in Full Screen, Client area, and Window but it never shows up.I have even un-checked it (Include Cursor) and re-checked it to make sure it was set
it slows me down to have to wait for the line to catch up with the dimensions showing up with a draw a simple line ,etc. IM sure its a simple options I accidentally selected.
My problem is that when I fill something with solid colour, there are pixels shown on the screen. When I save the PCX and open it in an older version of Photo-Paint the pixels are not there.
What am I doing wrong or how could I avoid this. There are no options activated as error diffusion...
We print entrance mats and have a fix palette of 44 colours and need PCX files for the machine.
Check the screenshot: space is filled with one colour but on the lower half there are pixels/dots which should not be there...
Just upgraded to REVIT 2013 and now many types of lines are not visible on screen- randomly it seems. Also, sometimes they don't print, either. I've tried increasing the fineness of the view, changing the material definitions, etc. Most often this is happenning when I have opened an old file and had it automatically update the file. Also, it seems to happen within asurface texture, but it is not limited to that circumstance.
ON 3 different computers in my classroom, the cursor quits working in the graphics screen. You c an still click on any of the toolbars, palettes etc, type on the keyboard, but there is no response in the graphics screen area. In fact the crosshairs change to the "windows" arrow when the cursor is in the graphics area. I have had to re-install the whole system. I thought maybe is was a graphics crad/ driver issue but this is only occuring in AutoCAD 2013, I have not have any trouble in Revit, or other graphics based software that we use. I have video cards/drivers that are certified by autodesk. I have checked them for updates, etc. I have tried turning of the anit-virse stuff, nothing works except re-installing the whole system. It is random, I have 30 computers and so far 3 of them have done this. They are all configured the same.
