Monodevelop Control + TAB problem - monodevelop

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.

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

PhpStorm autocompletion / dialogs disappear in Awesome WM / Xmonad

When trying to autocomplete code or open up the dropdown menu's the window / dialogs will appear for a short time and then get hidden behind the main editor window.
The problem is related to java window handling in tiling window managers such as AwesomeWM.
To solve this see the answer below.
You need to edit the VM options so window hinting can be done correctly.
I installed PHPStorm under /opt/phpstorm (linux)
Edit:
bin/phpstorm.vmoptions
bin/phpstorm64.vmoptions
Append the following line:
-Dide.expansion.hints.enabled=false
Restart phpstorm and the problem should be fixed.

PhpDesigner 8 looses focus when using autocomplete

My phpDesigner 8.1 looses focus when I use any autocomplete. It is really annoying because i have to click into the window each time I use autocomplete. Does somebody know how to fix this? I tried the protable version and the setup. Both have the same behaviour.
Could finally fix it on my own. Teamviewer was the problem.
See this phpDesigner Changelog.
phpDesigner 7
phpDesigner 7 version 7.2.5 -- 1. March 2011
[...]
Fixed. The code completion loses focus. This is a problem caused by Teamviewer. When Teamviewer is running it puts a small button near windows options buttons, you need to click that button and cancel Teamviewer for phpDesigner.exe and phpDesigner 7 will work fine again. The same applies to Actual Windows Manager.
EDIT: Seems like mpsoftware.dk removed their changelog. Here is the old page: phpDesigner Chagnelog (New Link)
Delayed answer BUT to fix this just go to Teamviewer Option > Advanced > Show advanced options > QuickConnect Button > Configure > Untick Show QuickConnect Button

Auto-scrolling Chrome's DevTools console

Since its inception few years back, Chrome has become a de-facto IDE for web development. I've been using it's Canary(Version 28.0.1464.0) channel for quite a bit and been happy as a clam.
Only issue that keeps bothering me is the lack of ability to have the DevTools console pane, auto scroll to the last message added. I understand that many folks would prefer to have the current behavior. However I was wondering: Does anyone knows how (if even possible with the current release) to flip the switch and have the console auto-scroll?
Thanks.
Clearing the console and scrolling the bar down to the bottom didn't work for me.
The problem was that I had zoomed out DevTools.
Solution:
Focus the DevTools, e.g. by clicking on the console's > prompt
Hit Ctrl-0 (zero) on Windows, or Cmd-0 (zero) on OS X, to restore the default font-size
Hopefully then auto-scroll to bottom will start working again!
Thanks to this guy for pointing it out:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=161646#c5
One Reason why it's happening:
Logging of HTML elements into the console makes the console view lose the last console message.
How to solve it:
Instead of doing something like this:
console.log("Some logging message:", html_element)
try this (wrapped the messages with brackets)
console.log(["Some logging message:", html_element])
It drove me crazy too and I found the solution here:
Google Chrome follow developer console logging
With the console open, drag the scroll bar down to the bottom of the
window and release it. It should tail the output for you.
It does not matter if you have the console docked or not.
Working for me on a osx 10.8.5 and chrome 31
In Chrome version 29.0.1547.76 m, it auto-scrolls when you undock the console. It stops auto-scrolling if you click on the console, then you'll have to clear the console before auto-scroll will be ready to start again.
The "Undock into separate window." button is the bottom-left most button of the console.
For me I've noticed that the autoscroll stopped when the console showed a warning so I've filtered out the warnings and all is good:
For me the only solution that worked was:
click F1 (settings)
At the bottom restore defaults and reload.
None of the above worked.
I found this solution in Chrome 49+
Go Dev-tools/ Settings /
"Console tab"
x Preserve log upon navigation.
Done!

How do I enable right-click (control-click) context menus in MonoDevelop?

Right Click (or control-click since I'm on a Mac) doesn't bring up the context menus for Solution or Projects.
For instance, in Visual Studio I would right click on a Solution to add a new project to the solution. I've looked all through the menu and can't find the add project command.
Also, how do I add a folder to a project? Again, this would be available from the right-click menu in VS, but I can't find it anywhere in MonoDevelop.
Control-click doesn't do anything for me in any part of MD. Not even in the text editor. Is there a setting to get it to behave the way I'm expecting it to?
Shouldn't these options also be available via the main menu also?
Apparently this was a known issue and has been fixed. It was a bug in the gtk+ library. Single button mice weren't supported.

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=346609
Still not sure why I'm seeing this bug now on my OSX 10.6.4 machine running the latest download of MonoDevelop.
Plugging in a 2-button mouse is an adequate work-around. I can right click and get the context menus I was looking for.
These features are where you would expect to find them, exactly where you said. The solution context menu contains Add > Add new project and the project context menu has Add > New folder
I'm on a macbook so I get to use the old double-finger tap, rather than CTRL+Clicking all the time. Not sure why the CTRL+Click is not working for you.
EDIT:
Control-Click anywhere in the solution explorer seems to bring up a context-sensitive context menu. Control-Click whilst solution is selected brings up the solution context menu and if a project is selected, the project context menu.
Control + click doesn't work but a two finger touch brings up the context menus on my Macbook Pro. Check your "Trackpad" settings in system preferences to see how you have secondary click setup on your mac.
