This is driving me crazy! In the BIRT Report Designer (Eclipse), no matter what I do, Insert -> Row -> Above/Below is always grayed out. I know I've done it in other reports, but this report won't work. Is there something special I need to know?
I select the row, right-click, then select Insert. Nothing.
It might be worth noting that I can't Delete the table either.
Make sure you are selecting the table element. Right click on the area in dark blue in the image below (it turns dark when selected).
I simply restarted Eclipse and it worked!

In my web app I cannot move the cursor up or down when editing a multi-row text in a simple text area.
The cursor seems to be "locked" to either the first row or the last row. It can be moved left or right normally but not across line breaks.
It is impossible to place the cursor into one of the middle rows. Not by keyboard, and not by mouse either.
The same text area works like a charm in Chrome. I can place the cursor wherever I want and how I want - as expected.
Any idea why this is so and what I can do to fix this?
The text area's css property "user-select" was set to "none". Setting it to "auto" fixed the issue.
After exploring a few models, I generally want to delete those I don't need. How can I do that in BlueSky Statistics? Clicking on the section heading e.g. "Regression" doesn't select that section. I've tried right-clicking on that and choosing delete, but it just deletes the title, not the section.
At the moment, to actually delete an entire section of output, you have to do it one table at a time as you've discovered. That is, you right-click it and choose "Delete." The usual combinations of Shift-click and CTRL-click to choose many tables at once are not currently supported. The developers are aware of this problem and say it'll be fixed in a future release.
However, there is an alternative approach. In the Output Viewer, you can go to the Layout menu and choose "Show Navigation Tree", a series of check-boxes will appear by every piece of output. By un-checking a box, you can hide any table you don't want to see without having to delete it.
The "Update Frames" calls are often grayed-out in Xcode
the only way I know to have it update frames to match your constraints, is, tediously select your highest-level view and than (sometimes) you can fish in the menu bar for "Selected Views"->"Update Frames". Further, "All Views"->"Update Frames" would appear to often simply not work or work in a way I can't understand.
Surely there's just a keystroke or button which updates all frames straight away to match any newly-entered constraints (such as those made using control-drag).
Note .. for 2016 you can use this very handy button, which at least brings up the same sub-menu as you can find by searching in the menu bar menu.
However it would seem (see my comments w/ ZaBlanc below) that there is perhaps actually an Xcode bug, and you CAN NOT assign a keystroke to the "All Views" items. (The ones you usually use.)
Even worse .. in Xcode 8 ...
they seem to have removed the 'update frames' option ... WTH
It's easy. Go to Preferences -> Key Bindings. Type "Update Frames" on the top. You'll see two appear. You'll want the bottom one (it will be the one without a keyboard shortcut assigned.)
Assign it to ⌘= or anything else you like.
Life changed.
Just for anyone reading, with Xcode 8.3. The popup menu command no longer exists. The menu bar command Editor -> Update Frames does work. However there's a bug, the default key binding on that does not work. If you add a custom key combo, that custom key combo does work.
AFAIK, there is no keystroke for update all frames, but here's a key tip:
If you have a misplaced views, press the yellow arrow in the document outline (the views tree to the left of canvas), press yellow triangle on any view in the list, then select update frames and check Apply to all views in container - this will update all misplaced views in the selected view controller
Additionally, you probably already know:
You can add a new constraint with Add New Constraints button in canvas bottom right and select "Update frames" option.
You can select any view by mouse-click and holding Option+Shift keys - this will show you the list of all the views, that intersects with mouse pointer. After that you can select update frames menu item on a selected misplaced view.
The same as you, I thought that it's very annoying to fix the misplaced views manually by selecting them and choose that boring option from Xcode menu. After trying hard to shorten the time to fix the layout issues, I had to admit that there is no way to call the function "Update Frames" from command line. So I ended up doing this way:
Open Xcode warnings & error inspector window
Filter all layout warnings by using the keyword "frame for"
Click on warnings to quickly locate to the misplaced views then press Command + Option + =
That's the fastest way I know. Please try it out!

I have a random cell on the bottom row (Total row). I had to add a column to the report in order to sort it. I think the random blank cell is from that... any idea how I can remove it?
apparently I can't post an image until I get 10 reputation. It let me load them and then it tells me this?
r-click cell in design mode. textbox properties. hide.
I'm trying to fix my report. I have 4 columns in "Details" and they are all set to "Can Grow".
The problem is that if one of the column is too big (which makes the row big as well), and the space left for the last row on the page is slightly less then needed, it will leave a blank row and make the next row (with information) on the next page.
How do I avoid that last empty row if crystal report can't fit anything in it?
P.S. I'm using Crystal Report on Visual Studio 2008.
Thanks in advance
Hm... if I understand, you want to make use of the empty space after a large-ish detail row displays.
You can a) limit the "can grow" to a set number of lines (not recommended), or you can
b) go into Section Expert and for that row and/or objects in that row,
turn off "Keep Together" (row) and/or "Keep Object Together" (field/column)
These are UIs / settings in the CR developer.
There will be corresponding settings through the VS2008 CR interface.
Turning off "Keep Together", "Keep Object Together" will let the objects break across the page boundaries. It can give some interesting results.
in detail uncheck "keep together".
