I don't know if this is a general problem with Office 2016, or if it is specific to Windows 10 users, but I find that sizable MDI forms in Access 2016 have a single-pixel border that is very hard to grab with the mouse.
The form borders show as a single-pixel red line, and have no difference in appearance regardless of the mode of the form, whether the mode is "no border", "dialog", "sizable" or "thin". The border appears the same in design mode, as in the example below.
I've tried this on a couple of different computers running Office 2016 under Windows 10, and the problem is the same, so it's not a driver issue. I've opened the database under Office 2010 and Windows 7 and the borders come up at the normal size for Windows 7. I haven't tried Office 2016 under Windows 7 though.
I have to assume that the problem is related to the way that form borders are handled in Windows 10, where the drop-shadow forms part of the draggable area.
Is there any way around this?
Yes and it's a P.I.T.A. The 2 workarounds I've been using are,
1. 'slide' the mouse along the border you want while vigilantly watching for the curser to change and then go mouse button click.
2. use TAB to cycle through the graphic object then right-click to operate on it (align, size, position).
This tip I have found on the Internet and tried it.
I used playing around with the 2 values BorderWidth and PaddedBorderWidth found with Regedit in the key HKEY_CURRENT_YSER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics.
After setting BorderWidth to -50 and PaddedBorderWidth to 0.
The result was that the borders remained approximately 1 pixel wide, but once you selected it, they are shown wider.
Still no solution for the fore mentioned primary question though.

I have a small database project where users can attach files to records. Mostly pdf and word docs. I am using the attachment type fields that access provides because I want to get more familiar with them. I have a continuous form that shows the attachment field using the Picture/Symbol view option. Most of the time, but strangely not always, the attachment symbol shows this black background behind its symbol. The black background does not cover the whole field but rather only the picture for the attachment type (Word, PDF etc.). The field itself is set to transparent, which is neccesary for my row highlighting to work. Does anyone know why this is happening? Is it a bug? Some way to fix it? It had worked when I had first set it up but upon restarting my computer and reopening the project they turned black and are now stuck that way. I removed them later for some reason and re-did the whole thing, upon which it seemingly worked but after restarting it went black again. There is no difference between using the view settings Picture/Symbol and Symbol.
Visual Aid:
Update 1:
The black backgrounds are seemingly random. I set the view option to Paperclip, restarted access, then set them to Picture/Symbol again and now I get this:
Closing and opening the file appears to turn the backgrounds black. Changing the view type back and forth inbetween can fix some, but not always.... I'm really not sure what's going on.
Update 2:
The issue is seemingly not affected by transparancy settings. Changing the Background color of the field has no impact either. The issue also persists when making a new form from scratch and adding the Attachment type field to it. It also carries over from one pc to another, so unless both have the same issue in their windows installation I don't think that is the root cause either. Compress & Repair did not help. I am only using one attached file per record.
Update 3:
I have had no luck consistently reproducing the issue. Most of the time, about 80% of it I am estimating, the issue persists. Some days, when launching access, the issue is resolved partially for either the word icon, or the pdf icon. On some days the issue is resolved for all icons as in the picture below. Almost always, after closing and opening access, the issue will immediately reappear for all icons. Closing and opening the form only and keeping the file open is fine, the issue stays resolved. Really not sure how to go about this.
My Access version:
Version 2205 Build 16.0.15225.20028
My Windows install:
Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
10.0.19044 Build 19044
So, updated to windows 11 and the issue is solved. No idea what was wrong exactly but it turns out it was related to the windows install. So, some kind of a bug in Win 10 is my guess, since it was happening on two different machines both running win 10.
I am using OpenRefine to clean text from a CSV file. I've been working on the same project for several weeks, and it was working fine until this week.
I am trying to use the 'Cluster and Edit' function from the 'Edit cells' menu. When I use the 'fingerprint' and 'ngram fingerprint' keying function, the frame that opens up inside the browser window is sized appropriately, and I have access to all the buttons and selection menus. However, when I try to use the 'metaphone3' keying function, the frame that opens up is way wider than the browser window, the sliding selection boxes that usually appear in the right side of the frame are not visible, and the buttons across the bottom of the frame ('Select All', 'Unselect All', etc.) are not available. I'd really like to be able to use this keying function option again. Does anyone know what's going on, or how I might be able to fix it.
I am using the OpenRefine 3.3 beta, although a similar issue was happening earlier this week with all keying function options in 3.2 (all were working fine in 3.2 as recently as Friday, 10/25/2019). I am using Firefox, although the same issue happens in Internet Explorer. The system OS is Windows 10 Enterprise.
Thanks in advance!
I'm developing an SSRS report in Visual Studio 2012. The report is set up to use landscape orientation. There is a 0.25in margin on the left and no margin on the right. The report is 10.5 inches wide. ConsumeContainerWhitespace is set to True. There are no hidden objects outside of the normal report area.
When I look at the report in print view or actually print it out there is a huge amount of white space on the right side of the report. It's almost like the report is being shrunk and then left justified when printing.
I would love to get this fixed so the report prints the same as it looks in the designer. If anyone has an opinion or some input it would be most welcome. Thank you!
This problem appears when a Windows 10 user has their DPI set to a value that is higher than %100. If DPI is set to %100 then the issue does not occur and no white space is seen when doing a print view or actually printing the report.
This is a common issue with Windows 10 and certain applications including ClickOnce apps like the one I'm using to run the reports. There does not seem to be a way to fix this from within Visual Studio as you can't make an application DPI aware that uses the ClickOnce deployment model.
The following steps will fix a Report temporarily until it is updated and the .exe is overwritten. This fix will also work for other Windows 10 apps, including Chrome, that appear blurry from using a custom DPI over %100. Be aware though that while this fix will fix blurry fonts in a ClickOnce app and white space in an SSRS report it can also disturb control positioning and form size.
Navigate to C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0
Under the 2.0 directory you will see one or more folders that are named with a random set of letters and numbers. Within these directories you must find the folder for the desired application. The folders will usually start with the first 3 or four letters of the application but there can be more than one folder that exists for your application.
Locate the .exe for your application. There may be more than one .exe for your app so apply this fix fix to all of them just to be sure.
Rightclick on the .exe and select properties and click the Compatibility tab.
Check the Disable display scaling on high DPI settings checkbox and click OK
Rerun your application and create a report that opens the report viewer.
Click the Print Layout button. The report should now be displayed with no white space on the right.
Print the report. There should be no extra white space on the right side of the report.
You can also work around the issue by temporarily setting your DPI back to %100 but I think that is a poor solution.
If it is a matrix report, you may also try setting the ConsumeContainerWhiteSpace to true. It is Report level property that you can find under "Other".
or else if it is a tabular report then adjust the margin and width accordingly.

You have me stumped but things I would check:
There isn't a textbox or label or something pushing past the boundary of the expected margin. This causes the report to print like what you are seeing. Just expand the report and make sure everything is actually less than 10.25 inches.
Is your paper size set to letter?
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.
I'm working on Windows Phone8 and have somes problems with performance. I have a grid with 2 lines, the first one is LongListSelector and the second one is Textbox. When i turn on Application.Current.Host.Settings.EnableRedrawRegions = true, my textbox was redrawn time after time(i just focus on it, don't typy any thing). But if i remove or collapse LongListSelector it become regular(don't lag).
Any suggesions for me?
Thanks in adnvance.
