cannot scroll the octave gui window 4.4 - octave

I have Windows 10 and am using octave 4.4.0. I cannot scroll the command window upward, instead it is flickering and does not move. Any suggestions what would fix it?

Just a workaround...
Open cmd
Right click on title bar
Go to properties
Tick "Use legacy console"
Restart Octave GUI

Edit > Preferences > History buffer Size (value must be 1000).
Increase the number as 2000 or greater.

Google Chrome disable window animations

After updating to Chrome 58 I noticed a new "zoom-fade" effect when restoring a minimized window, or opening a new window (Ctrl+N). This feels very unnecessary, and - in my desktop environment - totally out of place.
Is there a way to permanently disable all window animation effects?
You can disable the animation by adding the --wm-window-animations-disabled command-line flag.
For Linux/Ubuntu you can make this permanent by editing the Chrome shortcut at /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop. There are 3 Exec= lines where you will need to add --wm-window-animations-disabled immediately after the executable name.
If you find that this is no longer working, re-check your shortcuts as some Chrome updates (via a package manager) could have overwritten the shortcut(s), so you may need to re-edit them.
There's easy way to get rid of those animations everywhere & permanently under Linux.
Here's an example for Ubuntu:
sudo nano /etc/chromium-browser/customizations/dis_wm-window-anim
(on Debian its /etc/chromium.d/dis_wm-window-anim)
then
CHROMIUM_FLAGS="${CHROMIUM_FLAGS} --wm-window-animations-disabled"
Ctrl+x -> y -> "enter"
go to developer tools and then click top right menu click More tools and then click Animation
in top and left of Animation Tab you can see play and pause button by click on it you can stop and play animation

Cursor not showing in Device Mode (Google Chrome)

So I'm trying to develop a webapplication and I'm trying to check it out on mobile.
I'm currently using Cordova and JQuery Mobile together with ripple.js to view my application in my browser.
The first issue (as far as I know) is that ripple.js will work best in Google Chrome, so this is my only test platform.
The second issue is that when I toggle Device Mode on, it doesn't show me the black dot (cursor) when I enter the rendered version.
I'll explain my situation or a scenario:
As an example I'll go to http://google.com
I press F12 to enter developer mode
I click the Toggle Device Mode button
I will see my cursor, until I enter the generated mobile canvas. While I would normally see a black transparant dot, I now see nothing.
I can however click and drag like I would normally do, but I can't see what I'm doing.
The things I already tried:
Reset all the flags back to default
Reset all developer tool settings to default
(edit) Installed a previous version of Chrome AND Chromium
So question is, how do I get my cursor back?
Extra: I'm using version 49.0.2623.87 m, but that's not related since my co-worker, has the same version and he sees the cursor.
(edit) currently I'm using the mouse option where I press Ctrl to see the circle which indicates where my cursor is, but this really has to be a temp solution.
(edit) I fixed it by doing a combination of things. So I'm not sure which exact thing fixed it. I removed a few programs that I installed after it still worked. I uninstalled about 4 of them. Also I did an update of my graphics card and then did a reboot. So it could be either the graphics card update, the software uninstall and/or the reboot.
I had the same issue. (note this question might be a duplicate of this one)
Following the advice on the Chrome forum here I changed the Quantization Range in my Intel HD Graphics Control Panel from "Default Range" to "Full Range". The touch pointer (grey circle) appeared immediately.
If that doesn't help you may have to change refresh rate too. Changing from 59p Hz to 60p Hz or some other refresh rate might help.
This should also help.
Open the mouse control panel.
Select the Pointer Options tab in the Mouse Properties window.
Then enable Display pointer trails option.
In case you don't like or are getting annoyed, like me, due to the trailer. Move the slider to the Short position and the trailer becomes near to non-existent or invisible.
I fixed it myself, yet I'm not exactly sure how I did it. I edited my original post and added the solution in the last paragraph.
Had the same on my Asus laptop with Chrome 66
Resolution that worked for me
Graphics Control Panel > Display > General Settings > Scaling > Change to Scale full screen.
OFF your Asus Eye Care Switcher.
I am posting this as answer because above mentioned answer didn't work for me but I had this issue when I had a monitor attached to my laptop, for development work. I played around with my display settings and discovered that IF the scale on my second monitor did not match the scale on my laptop, the mobile development mode cursor would disappear. (windows 10)
If this is an issue for anyone just go into Display settings -> Display -> Scale and Layout --> make sure that both your laptop/desktop matches the display scale of your second monitor.
Hope this will help.

The missing system tray icons on Fedora 19 Desktop Edition

Once installing Fedora 19 Desktop Edition, I run the systray of Qt Example. But I could not look for the system tray icon.
There is no Notification area in the Activities overview.
Please let me know to display the notification area or the tray icon.
Moving your mouse quickly to the bottom right should display the Message Tray. If it doesn't work, use Super+M (windows key+M).
If you're running Synergy, the pressure sensitivity isn't working and you won't be able to use the mouse, because of this known bug. You must use Super+M.
Today I installed Ubuntu Gnome 13.10 and I couldn't find the Message Tray.
Moving the mouse down I made it appear some times. Finally I realized that it opened every time I moved my finger down on the touchpad two times.
I don't know if this interaction is intended or it is just a bug.
Super+M works too, thanks!
If you're willing to install the Frippery Bottom Panel.
The little exclamation point icon on the bar can be clicked to bring up the Message Tray too.
Clicking an item from the tray area or pressing Esc to cancel it, will remove the focus on the tray.

Fullscreen mode with Tk

Is it possible to create some kind of fullscreen mode (e.g. no window title bar) in Tk applications?
I used to use the wm overrideredirect trick in my code. Recently I found it to be buggy on Ubuntu. Not sure why, maybe a gnome issue, maybe a glx issue. Currently I'm using:
wm attributes . -fullscreen 1
which so far works on Windows and Linux. Haven't tested on Mac although I don't see why it wouldn't work.
OK read the man page. It says it works on Windows, OSX (Quartz) and X11.
Additional info
for those who didn't believe me
The man page says:
-fullscreen
Places the window in a mode that takes up the entire
screen, has no borders, and covers the general use area
(i.e. Start menu and taskbar on Windows, dock and menubar
on OSX, general window decorations on X11).
which seems to imply that the window decorations (title bar etc) is removed in -fullscreen mode. And in my real-world experience (I just checked my code 2 seconds ago) that seems to be the case on Windows and Ubuntu (linux). Don't know if it's true for OSX but the man page says it should be.
If this is ever not true on any platform then I believe it is a bug in the documentation. In which case it should be noted in the man page clearly on which platform are window decorations not removed.
Yes. You wan to set the overrideredirect flag on a toplevel.
toplevel .top
wm overrideredirect .top 1
If you run this interactively you need to withdraw the window and them deiconify it so that the window manager has a chance to remove the frame from the window.
This only removes the window manager decorations. You need to manage the size as a separate step in the normal way.
For more information see the man page on the wm command

Monodevelop Control + TAB problem

I am having problem with Monodevelop 2.4 on windows 7 x64. When using Control-Tab to switch between documents a little window pops up with "Pads" on the left and "Documents" on the right side. It stops reacting to any input except mouse (blocking the application completely), it does not disappear until I minimize main window, then restore it and hit Control + TAB again.
I tried downloading and installing mono-2.6.7-gtksharp-2.12.10-win32-2.exe and switching to its runtime with no luck.
Has anybody experienced the same issue?
Cheers
You can turn off the "Enable document switch dialog" option in the Visual Style preferences to work around this problem.
Yes, this is a known bug pending to be fixed.
