Cognos Report Studio Prompt Mysterious check marks - prompt

Hi has anyone encountered this mysterious prompt check marks?
I created the prompt page as normal, and sometimes it acts weird (see link for screenshot). I only click on one prompt, but many mysterious check marks appear, and no consistency on what congos sees as input.
Cognos 10.2.1

Microsoft jscript runtime error "object doesn't support this property or method"

I'm getting a Microsoft jscript runtime error popup with the usual "object doesn't support this property or method" message.
The problem is, I have no idea why this message pops up or what program it belongs to, and I have no idea how I can dig up more information from the popup itself.
It pops up seemingly random. Always a while after startup and about 2-3 more times whether I'm using my computer or not. I get no more feedback when I click "OK" or X it away.
Anyone know how I can figure out what program the popup belongs to?
Edit: It repeats itself a couple of times when either clicking OK or X. Right after clicking, it pops up again, but stops after the 3 times.
Anyone know how I can figure out what program the popup belongs to?
1) Install Sysinternals Process Explorer.
2) As soon as an error dialog box appears do not close it. Use "Find windows's process" tool (see Pic1) by selecting the popup window (dialog box with the error message).
3) Process Explorer will show you the process that generates an error.
If you need to debug the root cause do the following:
4) Install Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop (free of charge)
5) Start IDE and choose Debug/Attach to Process.
6) Use 'Select...' button to change the type of code. Choose 'Script'.
7) Attach to your faulty process and have fun ;)

In Visual Studio 2012 - Keyboard suddenly stops working properly

as stated in the questions title, we have an issue with VS2012. The problem is that sometimes suddenly some keyboard-input in VS isn't executed properly, if at all.
When the problem occurs, we are only able to type in characters and numbers, but neither are we able to delete them (backspace or DEL), nor to use the arrow key to jump up down a line or to the next/previous character. Overwriting a text which has been marked with the mouse is working.
I have found a very similar Question but the hints stated there doesn't work here. Those are:
Hitting Alt+Enter
Closing and Reopening Editor Windows
Closing the ToolboxWindow
Restarting VS
Pressing ScollLock
The Problem seems to be related to the Stylecop-AddIn. After uninstalling it, the issue doesn't come up anymore. Is there some known workaround? Thanks in advance!
Apparently StyleCop can be used with out Resharper, I didn't know. Very sorry. However, if you look at the documentation for StyleCop, if you right click on your project, click Source Analysis Settings, you will be presented with a dialog to turn on or off all of StyleCops rules.
Here is a link to the actual documentation which has images which helps describe it. StyleCop Settings

SSAS cube deployment fails but no errors are shown in error list

I'm developing a simple cube based on the AdventureWorksDW2012 database. I am using Visual Studio 2012 with SSDT installed. I'm facing a weird issue when the deployment to the Analysis services fails but the cause of the failure is not important. In the error list I see the number of errors and warnings (2 errors and 11 warnings), but no errors are displayed in the list. I see nothing in the output window neither.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
See how there's a blue line around the filter at the top left?
or in your case
That means filtering of the errors list is ON.
Turn it off by turning off all checkmarks in here:

Changes don't get saved in Crystal Reports report

I've started using Crystal Reports recently. Have been able to create a report and mostly done with it. But suddenly I started to lose any change made inside a textbox object. I edit a textbox, save the report and close it. And then I reopen it to see that the change hasn't remained. I restart the Visual Studio and even the machine but nothing helps. I use VS 2012. Has anyone experienced anything like this?
In the report preview see if the checkbox "Save data in the report" is checked. If so, try unckecking this checkbox. It is causing me some trouble to save the report crashing Visual Studio interface.
In fact I found the reason for the problem. This happens when I try to save the changes while the focus is on the edited object, in this case textbox. But if I click somewhere else (in order to lose focus on the edited textbox) before saving, then the problem gets solved. Happy to have found it.
Welcome to the club :)
Crystal Reports can behave very strangely in some cases. For instance, some times when i edit a report file in Windows XP, it crashes the interface and corrupts the file when i save it. The same problem doesn't appear in Windows 7. However other strange things happen in Windows 7 also.
I would recommend you to
Always apply the latest Service Pack available for the Crystal Reports Engine.
Always check if the asterisk sign disappears from the opened report file when you save it (some times it doesn't when you hit save and it does when you hit save all and vice versa).
Always backup your report files once in a while because to recover a corrupted file is a very hard task.
You can try the following to find out what causes the problem
Create a new blank Windows Forms project, add the same report file there and check if it behaves the same.
Create a new blank report file and check if a change in a field behaves the same way after saving it.
Try it on another OS.
Go to Database | Verify Database and make sure the database is up to date.
Also Go to Database | Show SQL Query and reset the query. Now enter in the Selection Formula again and save.
Updating the SQL will replace the Selection Formula.
Good luck,
