Joomla Content Editor not displaying helper lines around table cells on some computers - joomla

I recently installed the latest version of JCE (2.6.33) on top of Joomla 3.9.0 and discovered that the guidelines you get around table cells when creating K2 and Acymailing articles to show their outlines were gone. I'm referring to the "Visual Guidelines" as described at:
https://www.joomlacontenteditor.net/support/documentation/editor/editor-content
I then just happened to look on a different computer and they were still present. Both computers are Windows 7, both are running Firefox 63.0. The one with guidelines missing is a laptop, the other a desktop. I tried clicking the "Toggle guidelines/invisible elements" button and it did nothing.
I couldn't figure out a solution so I decided to revert to my old JCE version, 2.6.30, and that fixed the problem on my laptop but then CAUSED the problem on my desktop.
I've been reading forums, googling, trying everything I can imagine and just cannot figure out what might be causing this. Has anyone come across anything like this and, if so, how do you fix it?

Try installing the Web Developer Toolbar and delete some cookies. Seems like it might just be a change in how that setting is stored: https://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer

Joomla 2.5 save, save & close, save & new, cancel buttons do not work

When I try to create or edit an article, category, or module, I am unable to save or cancel the changes. When I click on the Admin buttons, nothing happens. The URL gets a "#" added to the end of it, and I get this error (examples from 2 different editors):
ReferenceError: WFEditor is not defined
http://www.mysite.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&layout=edit
Line 250
ReferenceError: tinyMCE is not defined
http://www.mysite.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&layout=edit&id=47
Line 247
I have Joomla 2.5.11, no other updates pending. JCE editor, TinyMCE, default, and RokPad all throw errors and don't do anything when I press the buttons. CodeMirror and None are the only editors that I can use to save the article. I have tried uninstalling JCE and reinstalling it, and no changes.
I don't remember the last time it was working, possibly January sometime, if not before then. I don't know if this has anything to do with settings in my php.ini file or not. That was the only thing that changed from the time it was working until now, but it should be back to the "default" settings.
I've tried reuploading the admin folder, but no change. I reuploaded all the Joomla files (except installation) this morning from the stable 2.5.11 package freshly downloaded from joomla.org today, and still having this problem. I've also tried purging cache from the updates manager as well as maintenance area. I've tried 2 different computers, Fire Fox, Chrome, and IE (this was the suggestion in one of the posts I found similar to this issue).
I have been searching for a resolution for months. Any topics I find that sound like my issue end up either not having a resolution, or it's something else that the person is having a problem with. I use both JCE and RokPad on dozens of other websites with no problems.
Thank you for your help.
Do you have extra plugins or modules published on all administrator pages? There could be an extra
Open your console (ctrl+shift+J) and you should be able to locate the error, once you do just try to locate the origin in your code, it's most likely not originating from Joomla core, rather from an extension / template.
Also bear in mind that plugins are active by default on both the frontend and the backend and very often they are not intended to run in the backend, nor tested in the backend.
I JUST FIXED IT!! :) : ) :)
I just switched my hosting's PHP version from 5.4 to 5.3 and voila! It functions as it should. I hope this helps someone! I'm not sure when/why I may be required to go back to 5.4 but for now this solves my problem. Any idea as to why these two versions of PHP behave so differently?

Layout corrupted in ADF projects

I'm working on some projects on Jdeveloper 11.1.1.2.0 IDE and encounter an annoying problems. The layout of jspx pages corrupted, all control attached to any page disappear without a trace when running project. They dont show in design tab either. The problem appears suddenly when I modify some page.
Now I cant working on the project and have to restart project from scratch. So if you have encountered and fixed the same problem. Could you please show me how to do it. I'm very grateful to hear any suggestion.
Thank you.
Your description doesn't allow any educated guess on what happens. Can you at least paste the page source that you encounter the problem with ?
Often issues like this occur by developers placing the content to a facet that is not made for this and that does not stretch. Or if the a tag is not closed properly or missing (the page source editor should flag this)
Before starting from scratch, which should not bee needed at all, try JDeveloper 11.1.2.2 to reproduce it in a later build.

WYSIWYG buttons don't show in IE for CKEditor

I have a fresh installation of Liferay on Tomcat and in IE7 it doesn't show the buttons for visual editing in the editor when I try to edit content.
It works on in Firefox or Chrome.
Does anyone have an idea why would that happen? I am not sure where to dig, I don't see javascript exceptions and it doesn't look like the buttons are even populated in IE. It is hard to debug IE problems since I don't have a tool like Firebug there.
I downloaded the 6.1 and still have the same problem, adding the URLs of what I see. Looks like IE only has the text box and in the DOM I don't see the same things that I see in FF.

Update on this:
I checked with some people in our organization and they have the buttons on their browser.
I checked the version of the IE browser and it's the same down to the last digit. Properties are the same as well. The only difference is that I have some plugins installed that the other browser doesn't. I tried disabling all the plugins but it didn't help.
The suspect plugin is Google Chrome Frame (ChromeFrame BHO). Can someone please try to add this plugin and see if it messes things up? The disabling it doesn't help.
Liferay CE 6.0 contains few bugs within the WYSIWYG editor integration.
One issue with IE is LPS-16004 (solution included). This might be the same problem as you are experiencing.
I remember we had also problem with javascript race condition in editor initialization, which sometimes loads the editor incorrectly.
But I strongly suggest you to move to Liferay CE 6.1 as it is much more stable.
Ok, I finally figured it out, so if someone has the same problem, here is the reason - we have Google Chrome Frame plugin installed in our organization, but it only works on white-listed domain names. In this case the domain the site was on wasn't whitelisted, but the portal looked at the agent string and saw chromeframe there and assumed it can use it as chrome browser, which broke things.
Right now I will try to white-list the domain and see if it works. Another solution would be to try and find a place where we look for the agent string and fix it there, not sure where this place is.

What is jScrollPane-1.2.3.min.js and why's it not working?

I am maintaining a jQuery-enabled site which makes use of jScrollPane to have fancy looking scrollbars.
When testing in Internet Explorer 9 I was faced with the error "SCRIPT438 getElementsByTagName is not supported". This is a known bug with jQuery 1.5 (which I was using) and probably unrelated to jScrollPane.
So, I upgraded jQuery to version 1.7.1. Fine, SCRIPT438 error is gone. However, jScrollPane now produces obscure JavaScript error D is null in jScrollPane-1.2.3.min.js. As I'm not the original developer of the site, I don't know where this file came from. It's nowhere to be found on the official site.
If I try jquery.jscrollpane.min.js (from the jScrollPane site) instead, results are no good. The scroll contents show up when page is initializing but disappear when page is ready (no JavaScript errors). Isn't jScrollPane backwards-compatible?
Anybody understanding the different jScrollPane files and the cause of the errors I get?
You need use the autoReinitialize option along with the latest version of jquery.jscrollpane.min.js:
$('.scrollpane').jScrollPane({autoReinitialise: true});
This will fix the issue where the scroll bars appear when the page is ready. I had this same problem a week ago, I now have a whole new problem which is how I stumbled on this question.

Source of Thunderbird's Default Theme by Arvid Axelsson

I need to edit the original icons from Thunderbird's Default Theme by Arvid Axelsson.
Does Mozilla provides an SVG version?
I need to know the style of the icons, because they're really specific (inner-shadow etc). It's not a simple -moz-effect (CSS). Does anybody know where to find or download the real skin-source or how to view files inside chrome://global/skin?
There are actually three default themes - Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. You seem to be talking about the Windows theme which is indeed being attributed to Arvid Axelsson even though he doesn't seem to be working on it (looks like he created the theme around Thunderbird 1.0 and other people took over since).
Looking at the source code repository, the icons are there but their source code isn't. I also checked the bugs associated with icon changes and the source code of these icons indeed doesn't seem to be public. Which means that the only way for you would be contacting the person who designed the icons. That would be Andreas Nilsson, click his name in bug 671236 to send him a mail.
