It seems to be a bug within MS Excel (as long as the hooks that are maybe still loaded aren't affecting the case).

STR:
- Open some plain Excel windows
- Select an Excel file in Windows Explorer
- Activate explorer preview to show up the sheet
- Double click to open it in Excel

Now, try to click Save or any ribbon thingy (button, tab...).

Expected:
- controls are clickable

Actual:
- you cannot interact with the controls ]]> RE: Outlook text selection in 3.5.0b3 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/outlook-text-selection-in-350b3/?ID=c327c8e1-866e-4ef3-a446-f5bc330e295f#9 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 15:23:38 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/outlook-text-selection-in-350b3/?ID=c327c8e1-866e-4ef3-a446-f5bc330e295f#9 DisplayFusion I am not sure about it, but in rare (atm non-reproducible) cases I have some problems with MS Office ribbon controls that are not clickable.

It does not always happen and for now I have not discovered a pattern yet. Will check back if I can provide more information, especially whether the issue is actually related to DF. ]]> RE: Outlook text selection in 3.5.0b3 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/outlook-text-selection-in-350b3/?ID=c327c8e1-866e-4ef3-a446-f5bc330e295f#8 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 13:45:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/outlook-text-selection-in-350b3/?ID=c327c8e1-866e-4ef3-a446-f5bc330e295f#8 DisplayFusion Excellent, glad to hear it! ]]> RE: Outlook text selection in 3.5.0b3 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/outlook-text-selection-in-350b3/?ID=c327c8e1-866e-4ef3-a446-f5bc330e295f#7 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 08:54:57 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/outlook-text-selection-in-350b3/?ID=c327c8e1-866e-4ef3-a446-f5bc330e295f#7 DisplayFusion

We've just released Beta 4, and these issues should be all fixed up.

Thanks!


Just removed Outlook from the Compatibility tab and it still works fine (with TitleBar buttons enabled). :)

Many thanks Keith; greetings to John. ]]> RE: Outlook text selection in 3.5.0b3 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/outlook-text-selection-in-350b3/?ID=c327c8e1-866e-4ef3-a446-f5bc330e295f#6 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 07:34:01 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/outlook-text-selection-in-350b3/?ID=c327c8e1-866e-4ef3-a446-f5bc330e295f#6 DisplayFusion Hi, this problem is fixed for me in Directory Opus. Also Winamp is happy on my secondary monitor...

Thanks

We've pulled the download of Beta 3 until we can get it resolved, so in the meantime as a workaround, you can either disable the TitleBar Buttons for the affected applications using the Compatibility tab, or you can revert back to 3.5 Beta 2 by downloading and reinstalling it from here: http://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta/

Sorry for the inconvenience, we'll hopefully have it sorted out soon! ]]> RE: Outlook text selection in 3.5.0b3 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/outlook-text-selection-in-350b3/?ID=c327c8e1-866e-4ef3-a446-f5bc330e295f#3 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 11:43:04 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/outlook-text-selection-in-350b3/?ID=c327c8e1-866e-4ef3-a446-f5bc330e295f#3 DisplayFusion I have a similar problem in Directory Opus. I use single click mode (hover to select). I cannot use Ctrl or Shift and hover over files to select. Also I cannot drag over a group of files to select. If I shutdown DisplayFusion 3.5.0.Beta 3 my select functionality returns. Beta 2 was fine in this regard but I upgraded because of Winamp appearing in the wrong taskbar. ]]> RE: Outlook text selection in 3.5.0b3 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/outlook-text-selection-in-350b3/?ID=c327c8e1-866e-4ef3-a446-f5bc330e295f#2 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 09:51:42 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/outlook-text-selection-in-350b3/?ID=c327c8e1-866e-4ef3-a446-f5bc330e295f#2 DisplayFusion Additional information: only the mouse selection seems to be affected. ]]> Outlook text selection in 3.5.0b3 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/outlook-text-selection-in-350b3/?ID=c327c8e1-866e-4ef3-a446-f5bc330e295f Wed, 08 Feb 2012 09:46:55 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/outlook-text-selection-in-350b3/?ID=c327c8e1-866e-4ef3-a446-f5bc330e295f DisplayFusion Hi there,

after updating to 3.5.0 Beta 3 I am not able to select any text in E-Mails using Outlook.
Other applications like Lync, Firefox or Eclipse still work (what text selection is regarding).

It does not seem as if just the text selection indication is not shown. There is not selection taking place. "Copy" context menu item stays disabled after doing a blind selection.

Shutting down DF resolves the issue.

If you need any troubleshooting etc. info, let me know.

Regards
Andreas ]]>
