Right click menu highlight in windows 10 - menu

I am very new to programming. I am starting to learn Python. I think it was a Coursera tutorial that recommended I install Visual Studio Code. So I installed it, typed print("Hello World"), and ran it.
VSC wanted to install some kernel thing. I figured I had to accept. Now when I mouse-over in right-click menus in Windows there is no (grey) highlight. I tried rebooting and uninstalling VSC to no avail.
Do you know how I can fix this? Thanx for any help.

3D Studio Max 9 - Not opening (freezes at the welcome screen)

I have a legit license of 3D Studio Max 9, I tried to install it in Windows 10.
Now, when launching it, it freezes at the welcome screen, and doesn't display some UI elements.
I already had this issue before, and I solved it by installing DirectX 9, but now they're installed and the problem came back.
Should I reinstall DX9? If so, how to remove them before?
And if not, what could I do?
Thanks in advance for any help, I'm attaching a screenshot.

P.S.: I forgot to mention, I can't move any 3dsm window, and I can stop it from task manager only.

Compiling pascal program in Visual Studio Code for Linux

Recently, I switched my OS to Ubuntu. I just started with collage and I have to learn pascal for my finals. But a problem occurred.
I installed Visual Studio Code and Pascal extension for it, but I am unable to run even a simple Hello World code. I wrote code, it saved automatically as .pas, but when I enter debug & run option in VSC it displays a message that says 'Open a file which can be debugged or run.', followed by 'debug' and 'run' buttons that I am unable to click and another message that says 'To further configure Debug and Run create a launch.json file.'
I am not even sure am I supposed to post questions such as this one on stackoverflow, but I sincerelly hope that someone could give me a hint on what to do. Solve this within Visual Studio Code or switch to another IDE (and which one would you recommend for Linux user) and pretend that nothing happened?
Thanks in advance.
I know this isn't an answer to "how to debug with pascal with vscode" but, perhaps you would find it easier to just use FPC / Lazarus (IDE) to do your work. While it doesn't have a dark theme, contrary to popular belief, that's not necessary to program.
The IDE is feature packed and allows for full code completion, debugging, etc... (everything you really need to do the work for school).
Additionally, you can use this open source tool to install everything you need for your platform in just a few button clicks (also allows for installing common library packages)
https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/releases
download release for your OS
under "FPC Version" & "Lazarus Version" select trunkgit (or stable for an older version)
click the "Install/Update FPC + Lazarus" button
Have you Installed Pascal extension which is available for code to smoothly run pascal code.
If you haven't then try installing this extension using,
Launch VS Code Quick Open (Ctrl+P), paste the following command, and press enter.
ext install alefragnani.pascal
You can always check,
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=alefragnani.pascal
to install and configure pascal in vscode.
I will direct you to the debugging page from the Visual Studio Code documentation that details how to use the debugger and configure a launch.json file. VSCode is a generic IDE so you need to give it some information about your project before it knows how to run the debugger. This is what launch.json is for.
If I could make a suggestion. When you're learning how to program, it's best to start with the basics. Write a small program in a text editor (VSCode is fine, or Vim, or Nano, or Notepad, or whatever). Save the file. Compile and run the program on the command line.
Once you put an IDE in the mix, you have to learn how to use that as well. If you're stuck on both parts, it can be hard to make progress. That said, it's good to learn how to use the IDE, and you should spend some time reading the documentation and working through some of the examples. It takes some time, but it will pay you back a thousand times when you can work more quickly.

Sublime Text3-Autolint setup

Screenshot
Hey guys, I am new to Sublime Text3, and last week somehow I changed the way ST3 lint my code and show the error information. It looks actually a little annoying and I would like to get rid of these instant error display while I am coding. Can someone tell me how to do that?
In addition, how to setup ST3 so that when you type a function from a package, it could show its meaning and format? I can do it in my Windows PC but failed in MAC.
Really appreciate any help!
Open your package control, for Ubuntu its Ctrl+Shift+P, It may be Cmd+Shift+P, type disable in the package, it would show you Package Control:: Disable Package, press an enter key, now disable the packages that are causing it.

Pen Width font turning to White automatically (Jaspersoft Studio 6.4 Arch Linux Gnome)

Im having some glitching issues while using JasperSoft Studio. (using the latest version from the AUR).Im using GNOME.
Steps to reproduce :
Add Text Field. Select it.
Go to Properties -> Borders -> Click on a border on the square.
The Pen Width (1.0 by default) appears for an instant and then "disappears" (Its still there as I can select it but i think the font color becomes white)
This can be temprorarily resolved by going to preferences and toggling the theme from classic -> GTK or vice versa. The resolution exists only for the current report and does not remain for other opened reports. Really annoying bug.
Ive tried Adwaita and GTK other themes etc...but no use. The bug persists.
I have a version 6.1.1 of Jaspersoft Studio on another machine running the latest UBUNTU GNOME and it works near perfectly.I tried running this version of Jasper on arch using various settings but it stops working as soon as I open a JRXML file. Nothing is clickable and I have to kill the process. I am guessing its a GTK issue.
I dont want to go back to using Ubuntu as I love the Arch experience. Can someone help me to run the AUR version of Arch without this glitch.
And if you think 6.1.1 should run fine on Arch...can someone help me overcome the GTK issue (Ive already tried export SWT_GTK3=0; but it doesnt work)
Thanks.
Try editing the runjss.sh script (probably in /opt/jaspersoftstudio) and add the line
export SWT_GTK3=0
Then try running JSS via that script and see if it helps.
I haven't had the same issue as you but I've been having a lot of Gnome-related problems and I'm using the same combination as your - Arch (Manjaro) and Gnome with JasperSoft Studio 6.4.3. Works perfectly since I added that line.
You can also edit the .desktop file to exec runjss instead of the default exec line.

eclipse has bugs with showing code complementation and the cursor

Heys guys,
I just installed eclipse with e(fx)clipse and got some problems with the exspecially the layout. First of all the cursor does not being visually updated when doing horizontally movements(vertically works just fine). But this is only visually, when I edit the code it is on the correct position.
Aswell I have to click on the error warning at the line numbers to get the code complementation window longer then about 0.1 seconds. But even the it only shows up in the left top corner.
At last I have to close eclipse in the console or it will just freeze.
OS: Arch Linux always updated,
Eclipse: Version 4.5.1, java version,
Java: java-8-openjdk
Installed plugins: e(fx)clipse.
Hope you guys can help me,
Armin
So guys,
I figured out the solution for myself. The problem is GTK. With disabling it all the problem were solved. To do this start eclipse with the command line:
SWT_GTK3=0 eclipse
Sadly I have not yet found out how to do this permanently, but I will edit this answer as soon as I find out.
Armin
