I have a problem with my Aptana dist. (version 3). When editing HTML, CSS, javascript, and whatnot, it freezes after a short while. I wander what could cause such strange behavior. To unfreeze it, I would have to click on window > Preferences (open the preferences dialog) and then close it. On clicking the editor, it opens. Has anyone had this problem and if so, how can I solve it???
I had the same problem once. Might have caused by the autocomplete feature. Try reinstalling using the NEWEST version of Apatana 3. I think they have already improved their text filtering feature.

This is a basic question that I hope has a simple solution. When I move my Rstudio window to an external monitor display - it no longer rescales properly and instead is rendered completely useless - showing me only the lower portion of the window (see screenshot) and doesn't allow me to resize the window or adjust it in anyway to access the taskbar along the top. Has anyone else experienced this or have options for how this could be fixed?
I frequently need to shift my Rstudio window to different monitors, and I was doing this with no issue prior to installing the latest Rstudio version - so I am wondering if there must just be some setting that got reset when I updated the software, but I can't seem to figure it out. I have tried fixing scaling options in Windows by using the properties options on the Rstudio icon on my desktop - and then clicking on compatibility and High DPI settings, but messing around with that so far hasn't seemed to work. However I haven't tried all possible combinations as i thought I would check here first to see if someone could fast track this process for me. As you can see in the image - this display is impossible to work with. When I move it back - it works as it should. I am using Windows 10, and I update my software regularly. TY!
Update
Ok, I was able to reproduce on a Lenovo with an external Dell monitor and address the problem by applying a fix proposed in another Stack Overflow thread. See below:
Research:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/windows-scaling-issues-for-high-dpi-devices-508483cd-7c59-0d08-12b0-960b99aa347d
Resolution:
There is a solution, it comes from the option "Compatibility" of the execute file.
Close all current RStudio windows.
Right-click on the shortcut of RStudio (or the original .exe file) and choose Properties
In the RStudio Properties pop-up windows, choose the tab Compatibility
Select High DPI settings
Tick on option Override hide DPI scaling... and then choose System from the drop-down list.
Apply > OK.
(Re)open Rstudio to see the change
On my test system, this addressed the problem observed where the menu text became super large.
Stackoverflow original reference:
RStudio HiDPI support
This appears to be an issue with the version of QT used by RStudio. RStudio is built on top of the QT engine.
QT tracking Issue:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-48242
the issue is marked as fixed in QT version 5.9.0 and above.
Recommendation:
Download RStudio preview and try that:
https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/preview/
Why? The preview version of RStudio appears to use QtWebEngine/5.12.8, which implies the issue is addressed. If that does not resolve the issue you could file a bug with RStudio, or install and recompile RStudio from the source with an updated version of QT. You can check your QT version via the help, about box.
Hoping the above points you in the right direction. Stays safe and well.
I was playing around with the CSS in the Atom editor the other day, open it back up today and this is what I see.. Every time I try to close any of those 3 tabs it freezes up, I've even rebooted my computer to no avail.
Unchecking "Open Empty Editor On Start" and you know.. that worked for some reason.
Not sure why this happens, but I have encountered similar problem that was caused by tabs opened last time.
Usually, I solve the problem by opening with "Clear window state". The command (I see that you are using ubuntu?):
atom --clear-window-state
Reference
I recently updated RStudio for Windows via download link mainly due to interest in the new features of the most recent version 0.99.878. Unfortunaly after the installation some important hotkeys behave different in the source editor, while they still work in the Console. I.e.
Ctrl+S starts an "isearch"
Ctrl+V jumps to the end of the document
When I enter Ctrl+X+(S or V) the hotkeys work as they should. The hotkeys can be customized, however when I open the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog it shows me the settings for the hotkeys. Also the cursor has turned to a shiny green rectangle (insert isn't activated).
The problems remains after switching the project. Also reinstalling Rstudio 0.99.878 didn't work out. I've seen a similar issue here, but think mine is different as it is installation related. I might have accidentally activated a special editor setting but couldn't find any.
It sounds like you may have (accidentally?) activated Emacs keybindings. If you go to Tools -> Global Options..., you can reset the preference here:
So I recently moved all of the files that I want to keep onto a secondary hard drive in my laptop. This also included the workspace I use for Aptana Studio 3. As a result, there was a particular file that I had to delete and let the program recreate just to get the program to start up as well as re-import the projects I was working with.
The issue now, though, is that I cannot change or even bring up the themes in the preferences editor. When I first go to Window > Preferences > Aptana Studio > Themes, I get a message that reads:
The currently displayed page contains invalid values.
and doesn't show anything. On the rare occurrences that I AM able to get that particular window to show up, there's nothing there except an empty drop down menu. Anyone have any ideas on how to correct this? Thanks.
P.S. YES, I have Googled it and hence, since I didn't find anything, I'm asking the question here.
got this answer from another post...
I got the same problem. After updating Aptana to 3.5, whenever I looked at the themes settings, it crashed down saying.
"the currently displayed page contains invalid values"
Probably the new update has its own bugs for some reason.
the only way to fix the problem is to downgrade the version of Aptana studio.
https://wiki.appcelerator.org/display/tis/Reverting+to+a+Previous+Version#RevertingtoaPreviousVersion-AptanaStudio3.4.1
just Download 3.4.1 version and all things gonna be ok.
Add Eclipse Themes from http://eclipsecolorthemes.org/?view=plugin
Details to add themes on this post.
Edit: This does not seem to work :( only the bg changes. I never noticed that the font colors never changed. Have to wait for patches I guess. Don't want to downgrade though :-|
i get CSS autocomplete only from the second line. There's no autocomplete at the first line?
And sometimes i get absolutely no autocomplete...
What am i doing wrong?
Thanks for reading that!
I guess they changed some settings, because it used to work instantly in previous Aptana versions. Here is what helped me with this problem in Aptana 3:
Window > Preferences > Aptana Studio > Content Assist > Auto-Display content assist
Change this drop-down from Default delay to Instant. Press Apply and Ok.
Please don't mind if you've already tried this and seems trivial. It wasn't for me!
Having moved from Dreamweaver where autocomplete comes on its own, I struggled with Aptana autocomplete at first. Sometimes in Aptana 3.0.7, it doesn't show up on its own and we need to hit Ctrl + Enter (on Windows)!
Also try Ctrl + Enter after typing at leaset 1- 3 Chars. This can be changed in Settings.
Hope this helps...
