Pressing Shift+a in 1 of my joomla sites = select all? - joomla

A client of ours is having a problem - Every time she presses Shift+a (to get capital letter A), it selects all the stuff in the article, as if you were to press Ctrl+a. It doesn't do this on their other Joomla! sites. I replicated the problem on my computer, so it's not just a faulty keyboard.
Could this be a php issue somewhere? Has anyone else had this happen to them? It's in Joomla! 2.5.5 so it's the most updated version too.
This issue is annoying the client, as they end up selecting everything, and keep typing, which deletes everything. Apart from my remark of "just press caps lock and then press it again when you're done", we're not sure what to do.
This also only happens in Chrome, not Firefox, though we don't really want her leaving Chrome.

Apparently there was an embarrassing bug in Joomla Content Editor, which was fixed in JCE 2.2.1.2 on June 29
This update fixes a bug introduced in TinyMCE 3.5.4 where SHIFT + A in Chrome would select all content instead of creating an uppercase A.
Updating JCE will hopefully get rid of this annoying behavior.

Sticky ruler lines in firefox developer edition

I've started using Firefox developer edition, after many years of using Firefox with firebug.
A slightly annoying artifact that I cant seem to get rid of are the rule lines - when I select an element (e.g. a button) Firefox developer edition adds rulers to the page (dashed blue lines) and highlights the elements in yellow.
The issue I'm having is that these rules (sometimes) appear fixed on the page - they don't move with the selected elements and I cant make these rules and highlights disappear (alternatively, I can't make them stick by myself), I've tried every setting in the console, I've tried refreshing the page, all to no avail, the only way I can seem to get rid of them is to navigate to another page and back to my original page.
Does anyone know a setting, or a keyboard shortcut to make these lines go away? is it a bug in Firefox?
To answer my own question:
It seems the only way to get rid of the rulers without navigating to another page is to close the inspector, and re-open again (a quick double-press of F12 does it) - others don't have the same issue with the same version of Firefox developer edition, Though I cant find a bug-report about this

get to bottom of page in Chrome with Keyboard-shortcut

I used to get to the bottom of a webpage by pressing CMD+Keydown. Did they remove this shortcut or is it just me?
I know this used to work not too long ago and it's not working since one of the newer versions... (currently Version 31.0.1650.57)
CMD+Keyup still works just fine.
So I finally got around the problem:
An extension I was using got some automatic update, in this it used CMD+Keydown as a shortcut for the extension, which overwrote the default behavior.
The problem hereby was, that the programmer was not done, so he "seized" the shortcut, but was not using it for anything.
Now after more than 2 months, after an other automatic update, the shortcut triggered something in this extension, so I could find out what was causing the shortcut not to work.
Then I just disabled that shortcut for said extension. All working now :D

Unable to set breakpoints in Chrome dev tools, version 26.0.1410.64 m

I need to debug some JavaScript an' I use Chrome dev tools. I'm a newby in JavaScript (just started to learn a couple of days ago), an' at work I could set breakpoints via the Resources pane. But at home for some reason I can't do this: after the click no breakpoint appeares.
I have Chrome version: 26.0.1410.64 m.
What could be the case?
clicking on the De-Obfuscate Source button (i.e. {}) solved this issue for me.
I'm a fool! haha! breakpoints are set in the Source pane )))
It's been a while, but in version 33.0.1750.146, but my problem was that I was on the Sources pane (I'd call this a tab; it's one of the items at the very top of the window), but I was on the Content scripts tab (on the left hand side). I needed to switch to the Sources tab.
To be clear, there are two sets of Sources tabs; one is within the other.
UPDATE 2016-01-07: Now I'm on 47.0.2526.106. The only thing that worked for me today was to close DevTools and re-open. It was a little finicky. It worked once, then stopped, and I had to close the DevTools and re-open again. I saw #johntrepreneur's answer about closing the browser, but unfortunately I have too many tabs open on too many workspaces, so that's too much of a pain, so I didn't try that, although I have to assume that would work.
Other solutions didn't work for me. Had to close and restart browser to be able to set breakpoints again.
This also happens when there is a JS error in your code.
Some sort of weird built in function in windows 10 i think because I did press a few buttons by accident. Some of my keys even stopped working in certain areas of visual studio. F.e the letter "c" stopped working in the find window.
Mine did this and no solution worked, i pressed alt, windows key and function key a few times and my problem went away.
Fixed as follows: For me, the issue stems from having set up Chrome to interact with operating system files. If you set this up, then the fact is evident from a green dot by the file name. At some point, I could not set a breakpoint in a recently edited file. I fixed this by disconnecting the interaction, as follows: When viewing "sources", above the code, there were some file names listed. Clicking the [x] to make the particular filename go away gave a caution message; I proceeded without saving. After that, I was able to set breakpoints for that file.
I also had this problem. However, once I closed the popup message in my browser, suddenly all my breakpoints that I set in that time appeared. Mental note: Don't set breakpoints while your app is showing a popup.
I couldn't find any direct fix for this problem.
It seems that chrome keeps settings of your site stored somewhere whatever you do to clean it. (I tried removing the folder from workspace, closing et reopening chrome etc... and nothing worked).
A workaround is to change your site's url to make chrome consider it a new site

firefox brand new “new tab page” - how to see/edit blocked/pinned items?

While it's simple to pin/block a link-screenshot in the new beautiful tab page in firefox I see no way to edit the list of blocked/pinned items, does anybody know how to do it?
E.G. I blocked a page but now I woukld like to unlock, how to do it?
Thanks.
This is for FF17 on Windows, Mac/Linux users cf below
To unlock a blocked page quit Firefox, download sqlitebrowser at sourceforge.net (~6MB as of now, Windows only), use it to open chromeappsstore.sqlite in your "Profiles" directory. On Win Vista that's eg:
[DRIVENAME]:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\
Firefox\Profiles\[ALPHANUMERICSTRING].default\chromeappsstore.sqlite
Switch to the "browse data" tab, open the edit view of the value corresponding to the "pinned links" key (double click on it). Replace one entry (eg a null) with
{"url":"YOUR_URL","title":"YOUR_TITLE"}
apply changes, save changes.
There's a key "blocked links", too. Intuitively, deleting blocked urls from its value should help, but it didn't when I tried. The trick above is clumsy, but so far I couldn't google anything more elegant. I couldn't find anything useful searching Firefox' about:config tab, either. I found this solution when doing a string search for the blocked url in my profiles directory.
Mac/Linux users should find other sqlite browsers. When using the firefox addon SQLite Manager you would need to make a copy of the database file first and edit that. Afterwards quit Firefox and replace the old file with the new one.
Here's the bugzilla entry ("Bug 722234 - [New Tab Page] provide an option to undo remove a site "), status is assigned, not solved. On comment reads: "Currently, there is now way to undo removal of a site or resetting the page using the new layout."
There's an easier way to do it without downloading, especially for people who may not navigate computers very well. Mozilla does have a way to do it, they just label it poorly and it's a bit roundabout.
Make the page you blocked on your new tabs page a Favorite, then click and drag to an empty space on your new tab page and it will autopin. The one downside is that if you unpin it the site will disappear again. I was frustrated for weeks after I removed Google and there doesn't seem to be much help out there that's simple.
"Make the page you blocked on your new tabs page a Favorite"
What does that mean? Bookmark?
I clicked the PIN icon on a couple and instead of pinning it, it seemed to completely remove that page from the New Tab selections altogether...and indeed, I see no way to get it back. Why would pinning something take it away!? And they were pages I use many times every day; very disappointed.
And those that I clicked ARE in my bookmarks ('Favorites' is an IE term), but they have not reappeared as suggested above.
The sqlitebrowser approach above is too complex and I can see it going awry trying to get all that right. Sad day here for me.

XCode 4 Cursor Jumps To First Line When Auto Suggesting

I have a problem in XCode 4.2 when I have the autosuggest feature turned on. Whenever an autosuggest (autocomplete) pops up, the cursor will jump to the top of the file, to the second character of the first line. This happens regardless of whether or not I select the autosuggest or take any other action. As soon as I turn off the autosuggest feature, this behavior stops happening.
I have turned off all key binding associated with jumping to the top of the page and have deleted all derived data for the project as per some suggestions I have heard, but have not been able to solve the problem.
Anybody have a solution?
I had similar problem Xcode cursor jumped randomly. It was triggered by an editor theme using an italic font. I changed the font to a regular one, and the problem was resolved.
Simple solution (or workaround):
Open Preferences.
Open Fonts & Colors tab.
Select Basic theme.
I got the hint from this page.
Just in case there is a bounty awarded :) let me repeat my "solution" from above: I suggest moving aside your /Developer folder and re-installing Xcode. Simply running the installer w/o removing the old /Developer folder may not replace all the necessary files. Good luck.
I have had a similar problem where the cursor jumped to the top and I couldn't scroll down. I don't know if it is the same problem that you have but there is no real solution. Its just one of Xcode's bugs there are a lot more. Open another file in the project and go back to the file you were working on, close and reopen the project or restart Xcode. Thats the only solutions I found.
If thats not working, then you can always re-install Xcode
