Now and then it happens on OS X (10.4.x + 10.5.x only) and on OS
9.1/9.2.x that the arrow doesn't disappears from the screen when a
screensaver activates. But it only happens when Photoshop CS (any ver.)
(OS X) and Photoshop 5.0/5.5 (OS 9.x) are open, and you for some reason
have to leave the work for some time, - and - when ZoomView (OS X) and
CloseView (OS 9) are active with an enlargement factor of +4,5. - When
the screensaver then activates, the arrow are still visible on top of
the screensaver....

More users of both ZoomView and CloseView - mostly visually impaired -
have reported this to me, but since the bug isn't reproducable, but
appears randomly I haven't reported this to Apple or Adobe, but only
advised the users to delete the prefs for UniversalAcces and CloseView.
Doing this makes the bug disappear for a while, but then it returns back
again.

I very well know that not many here are using neither ZoomView or
CloseView, but I also know that at least some photographers are using
especially ZoomView now when editing pixel-to-pixel - a real niggling
work..-))

So I wonder if it could be Photoshop that corrups the UniversalAccess /
CloseView prefs files. I know it was one of the big problems way back
with Photoshop 3.x + CloseView (CV ver. 7.1.3) and System 7.5.x, - And
also I'd like to know if others here have experienced the same odd
behavior when/if using ZoomView along with Photoshop CS versions.

Cheers, Erik Richard

I zoom to max on a daily basis to work on individual pixels but I
just Z and click on the area I want till I get as close up and
comfy as I want. I guess that is not one of the facilities you
are mentioning.

Hm, I'm not sure... Photoshop CS has a function that allows you to do
this, but I'm talking about using the ZoomView controlpane - not the
built-in function in PhS....

As you may rmember - I'm always having ZoomView active because of my
rather much reduced sight with an enlargement of 3,5-5,0x depending on
type of work and type of monitor. - Right now I'm only using a 22"
monitor - my big one got 'sick' and is now back at the factory for repair.

I find this a bit strange that it's only happening when Photoshop is
open, so my own guess is that the bug is in the Photoshop and not in
ZoomView or CloseView...

Cheers, Erik Richard

Sounds like you are right. (btw. So... we both have big monitors
back at the factory now! I am getting the impression that paying
for a 5 year guarantee is not a dumb move when it comes to LCD
screens with fluros in them. Not only the fluros but so many
other things seem and can go wrong with them.)
