Tooltips flicker on OSX - macos

I'm creating a cross-platform GUI using JavaFX 2.0, and some of the controls that I use require tooltips to be displayed when the mouse hovers over them. I've got the tooltips displaying fine on my Windows 7 machine, but on OSX (10.7.3) the tooltips appear and then dissapear immediately, and the only way to get them to display again is to move the mouse off the control and then back on.
Is this a known issue with tooltips under OSX, or is there something special that needs to be done?
Many thanks,
Joseph.

Looks like a known issue RT-14798 "Mac: tooltips disappear right after they are displayed", which was fixed on January 26, 2012. Download the latest JavaFX OS-X early access release and, if you are still having an issue, reopen the bug.

Xcode [8] Editor scrolls on its own?

EnvironmentXcode 8MacOS 10.11.6MacBook Air (circa 2013)
ProblemI've noticed recently that the Editor in Xcode seems to periodically scroll-up on its own. Which I, at least, find very annoying.
I've looked at a couple of other postings:
Xcode scrolls text while typing
XCode auto-scroll when pressing Command after a text selectionBut neither of them seem to provide a solution for me, as I'm not pressing the Command key and I'm not using multiple fingers on the touch-pad.
It seems to happen most frequently when I'm working on code near the bottom of the file, I haven't been able to narrow down the cause-and-effect scenario more than that just yet.
Query
Has anyone else noticed this?
Has anyone figured out a way to stop it?
Is there a reasonable way to report this to Apple? There doesn't seem to be an Xcode section on the http://www.apple.com/feedback/ site.
Try to disable your XCode theme if you have one. We ended up with that bug by doing this trick!
For XCode 10.1 changing the font size to 12 for the selected theme did the trick.

Scrollwheel not working in Chrome for OSX

I have an application built with JSF and PrimeFaces. I am using a layoutPane and within it are two panels. I have set up CSS to scroll the content sections of the panels however the scrollwheel will not work on OSX using Chrome version 51. I can however use the arrow keys to scroll the section. The scrolling works as expected when using Safari and Firefox but not Chrome.
I should note also that I am using a Mac Pro with Retina display. I also have a second monitor attached that is a HP w2207. To make things even more interesting, if I drag the Chrome window to the HP monitor the scrolling works as expected. Dragging the window back to the laptop Retina display and the scrolling no longer works.
I have tried various system settings and nothing has worked. I have also tried altering the HTML/CSS thinking maybe there is some kind of collision between the parent panel and the child panels but I have not been able to come up with a fix.
Has anyone experienced this issue before or could point me in the right direction?
Upgrade Chrome to version 52.
I'm working on a different stack, but the issue seems to be exactly the same: in some cases scroll doesn't work and it happens only when I'm using Chrome 51 and Retina. I wasn't able to find the cause, and the only solution that I know is upgrading Chrome.

How can I increase the scrolling sensitivity in Visual Studio?

I've encountered a weird issue in which that the mouse wheel scrolling sensitivity when browsing code is slow, but however when I open an older project the mouse's scrolling speed is normal.
If I create a brand new project, scrolling speed is normal.
It should be like this:
..but is instead like this (from an older project):
I've looked around but however the only results suggest increasing the DPI on the screen, but however this can't be right since the scrolling speed differs between projects on the same computer.
How can I reset the scrolling speed of my project's code back to normal?
Turns out that it's an issue related to Windows 8, 8.1, and earlier versions of 10.
I had set the scrolling speed via PC Settings, but however (for some unknown reason) there seems to be two separate settings for the mouse scrolling speed: one for PC Settings and one for Control Panel.
This issue is simple to resolve; simply adjust the mouse's scrolling speed via Control Panel instead of Settings. Doing this also seems to change the PC Settings' value also.
This is no longer an issue with Windows 10 since the November 2015 update, with Visual Studio 2017. It is present in Visual Studio 2019, to fix this you'll want to refer to Swifty's answer.
This problem is still happening in 2020. I'm using VS 2019 Community with the latest Windows 10 update. I had to go here in the Options dialog to change the scroll speed.
Tools >> Options... >> Text Editor >> Advanced >> Scrolling sensitivity
From there, you can adjust the vertical and horizontal scrolling speeds.
I've encountered that issue, too. On my machine (a notebook), it appears to happen under the following circumstances: I open VS2017 without external monitor first. When I then plug in the external monitor and move the VS-window onto there, then the scorlling-speed is super-slow. Closing and reopening VS solves the issue in this situation. Probably, opening a new project will also reset VS appropriately, so this might be a viable explanation.
Go to the registry editor
Navigate to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Elantech\SmartPad
Then set the scrollControll_mode value to 1.

kendo ui back button breaks my app navigation

I have tried to get the data-role="backbutton" kendo mobile ui feature to work but I am having issues. When testing the app on my iPhone 4 I get stuck in my app because the back button breaks the UX.
What happens is that when I am testing, I click heaps of back buttons (as they are used quite heavily in my app) and then randomly one decides to slide the previous view into the screen but only goes halfway and then snaps back (or some other type of visual glitch occurs). Then after that, all my navigation breaks down and I get stuck in the last view that I was in. Or better yet the links go to places that they are not supposed to. My tab bar does not work and either do links in the header. I have to exit the app completely, remove it from operating and try again. Seriously something wrong going on here.
I have tried to programatically add the back button by following the Kendo UI documentation but that does not work either. I am left with a button that does absolutely nothing when clicked - it may not even solve the issue anyway. I have looked using developer console in Google Chrome but I can't see any obvious issues.
Has anyone using Kendo Mobile UI experienced this issue before?
I downloaded the latest release of the Kendo UI build and the problem seems to have been resolved. Surprising! I assumed the Kendo framework was a bit more mature to be experiencing such a big issue. It was occurring when using slide transitions in navigation. Here is a link to the bug post on Github https://github.com/telerik/kendo-ui-core/issues/66
