10.5.3 update breaks spaces

I had everything working great on my macbook pro until this 10.5.3 update. Now with spaces (which previously worked fine) if I put one of my Terminal windows in another space I can no longer access several of my terminal windows and some of my other applications. For some reason I can access some applications but not others; I don't know what the difference is.
If I cmd-tab and select a different application, that application screen will come to the front, but I cannot access it with keyboard or mouse. But other applications I can do the same and they will continue to work. The common denominator seems to be putting a window in a separate space. In my case putting a terminal window in another space instigates the behavior.
It appears this is the first Mac update (at least for me) that is totally botched. The things it purported to improve (for me, spaces), it did the opposite. I am hoping this is a simple fix by performing a plst deletion, or similar. I have not had to delete plst entries and would prefer not to start whacking aimlessly in hope of an accidental fix. Any seen this and any suggestions?
This all occurred immediately following the update.

I resolved the issue, but I was just wondering if anyone else has had any issues where right after you restart your computer after the 10.5.3 update, all your applications don't open and freeze up. It happened to me several times, and I eventually just erased and installed from scratch.
Without knowing which apps you are referring to, it is difficult to answer your question.
Most freezeups are from having 3rd party apps that are not supported by Leopard 10.5.3.
I have had no such issues with any of my 3 Leopard systems.
Freezeups are usually the symptom of some bad software or bad hardware, or a failure to run DU and repair the HD and permissions before updating a system.

Why can I no longer use AirPlay with my Slingbox? New updates break complatibility?

Why can I no longer use AirPlay with my Slingbox? New updates break complatibility?

You already seem to know what the issue is, it is the parallax feature that was added to iOS 7. From your rant, it appears that your attempt to work around this was not successful. According to the Apple documents I've seen, they recommend that you enlarge your image (not reduce it). Make your image have excess space on all sides, which is not displayed on the screen. This way, when you tilt your device one direction or another, it can shift the image to give the appearance of 3D.
As a photographer, I like to use the full frame of my images, but I also know that I need to leave room around the image as well. I have some photos I have taken that I can't use because I have them cropped too tightly too, but I have others that work just fine. Just remember that part of the image file is "off screen" so that if iOS has to shift the image up it has some image that can scroll onto the screen. It needs this space on all sdes, so just make youre images larger, and keep in mind that a portion on each side will be outside the normally visible screen... If you don't like this feature, you can always go into the settigns and turn it off.

What are the things 10.6.8 update break?

After the 10.6.8 update I am having so many issues,
first, the %100 cpu usage of dock, disabled parallels, and now it is ok,
then, a reboot and I am unable to login, I enter my password, it begins the login process, then logs me out,
if I persist, it logs me in after a couple of tries, but each time a few of my applications are missing at random, and the environment is very very unstable, sometimes I see no desktop background, sometimes I start firefox and I am logged out again.
I've seen some people suggesting removal of login items to resolve a similar but not the same issue, so I'm inclined to think overall, there is an issue with some applications which 10.6.8 update breaks.
For starters my login items are:
GrowlHelper
Geektool
EyeTv Helper
Canon IJ Network scanner
ituneshelper
Magicprefs
Sophosuiserver
Does anyone have any problems with any of these?
I only verified the parallels desktop 6 issue up to now.

Actually it is not-so-permitted to remove sophos for this machine, but I did it anyhow. No problem so far, but lack of evidence is not evidence of being lack of something so I am not adding it to the list yet

Mac OSX 10.4.8 Update Breaks Raid Striping -- System will no longer boot

Hi,
I'm a newbie from the PC world with a Mac Pro. For the last 8 hours I've been trying to get a Raid-0 configuration to work with no success.
The Raid array constructs ok and the system boots. Once that's done the Software Update screen arrives and I would select install all... then the machine would not boot. I get a Grey Shade like affect and the message to power off and restart. Powering off does nothing.
So I started again for the Nth time and added each Software Update individually. All loaded and rebooted successfully until the 10.4.8 Update.
As soon as that loads, installs and restarts the machine will not boot.
I called Apple's Tech Support and they told me they do NOT support RAID on this machine. I said what are you talking about. They put me on hold talked to a supervisor and came back with the same story. I just don't get it...
So anyone have any insight and advice on why the update breaks my Raid-0? What can I do to get over the problem (I'd like to have the RAID...)?
Thanks for the assistance.
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Yes, you needed an emergency boot drive anyway to repair your RAID boot drive. Just use the same one in addition to a working clone or backup of your regular system.
Apple made it easy to install or update security updates and system updates from an alternate drive (but you will have to use the stand-alone (combo preferably) updaters instead - which many use already as normal part of upgrades for years now (they seem more useful and reliable).
My preference is a dedicated boot drive with OS and apps and minimal home directory - no media files - and fast, like 10K Raptor. I use RAID for my home directory so it isn't on the boot drive for years to improve performance and keep the OS separate. Never a problem and nice mix.

How to insert a non-breaking space in a reference page?

Hello all,
Is it possible to insert a non-breaking space in a reference page? I want to control the TOC numbering so that page numbers don't break at the hyphen:
In my reference page, I have the following TOC definition:
<$paratext> <$chapnum>-<$pagenum>
Replacing the hyphen with \+ doesn't seem to work.
Thanks!
Sue

Sue,
The sequence \+ is used in dialog boxes. Try typing the nonbreaking hyphen as
Esc hyphen h
Press the keys in sequence. Do not hold the Esc key down while you type the others.
A nonbreaking space is
Esc space h
OR
Control+space
Hope this helps,
Van

Non-breaking spaces export to Excel = ASCII 160, not 32

We found the following issue with exporting strings to Excel.
Assume the database Data field contains a string with multiple spaces "Hello____World".For the sake of readability I represent the space as '_' (underscore).
In OBIEE the normal data format setting is "Plain Text". In HTML source code the data will show up as "Hello____World" but browsers ignore the multiple spaces and show "Hello_World".
When exporting this to Excel the result in Excel is aso "Hello_World" where the ASCII value of the space character is 32.
Since this is not what i wanted, I change the data format to "Plain text (don't break spaces)".
In the HTML source this shows as "Hello World" and the browser shows it correctly as "Hello____World"
Now I export this to Excel and Excel shows "Hello____World" as was needed.
However, when using the data in a VLOOKUP function in Excel it could not match "Hello____World" in another worksheet.
After some investigation it turned out the OBIEE exports the to Excel as ASCII value 160. That shows up on screen as a space.
Everything looks OK but under the hood it is not 'what you see is what you get'
remedy in our case was export from OBIEE as data (CSV).

Non-Breaking Spaces in Structured FM9 Make a File Invalid

Hi All,
I'm working with Structured FrameMaker to author XML and I'm facing a problem that I've never had with FM 7.2: if I have a non-breaking space in a variable definition, when FM saves the file, it replaces the non-breaking space with the character code 0x11. I get the error message that states the file contains invalid characters. Worst of all, I can't reopen this file any longer with FM...
Is there any solution or workaround? For me it's a crucial issue as it just doesn't allow me to continue using FM for XML.
I'll appreciate any advice. Many thanks in advance,
Alex

Hi Michael,
Thank you for answering. I installed the patch you mentioned, but it doesn't seem to work. The problem I describe still persist.
Is there a way to make it work? It's very critical to us as this doesn't allow us to keep using FrameMaker...
Thanks in advance,
Alex

Using non-breaking spaces in attributes

Hello all,
I am writing reusable modules in Structured FrameMaker. Part of the reusability comes from using a variable instead of a hard-coded machine name, so that the machine name does not require variants of the same text. Using the standard FrameMaker variables is out of the question, so I have introduced a BookVar element that takes an attribute to determine which value is selected. All possible attribute values for the BookVar element lead to an attribute of the Book, which is the highest element in my publishable document.
The problem is, that the name of the machine may contain a non-breaking space. I can enter the non-breaking space as the attribute value in the Book element, but when the BookVar that receives its value from the Book attribute is resolved the name does not contain the non-breaking space anymore. Is there a special character code that I can include in the value of an attribute ?
Thanks in advance for your solutions

Hello again Michael,
I tried the \x05 and it works like a breeze ! Thanks again.
Apparently I was mistaken in assuming that I can suppress hyphenation via Text Range formatting, at least not if I want to keep my EDD free of any direct formatting. I can assign a character format, but in the Character Designer there seems to be no option to suppress hyphenation. This is handled on the paragraph level, and I do not want to suppress hyphenation for the entire paragraph just to keep my machine name from being cut down the middle.
As I am not using roundtripping to XML for this client, the trick with the \x05 in the attribute value, combined with the Alt-0160 for the non-breaking space, does exactly what I need it to do. If I need to get into roundtripping later, I will have to find some kind of trick to preserve the suppressed hyphenation - probably by introducing an extra attribute in the BookVar element that controls it (and then gets translated into the correct preceding \x05 code by the Read-Write rules).
Anyway, I already owed you a free dinner in Amsterdam, so now the drinks will be on me, too !
Ciao

Non-breaking space in dynamic data

Hi all,
I am building an org chart using a databound table. Each individual should be indented to their org level. I tried adding a series of non breaking spaces (in the java layer) to the person's name to get an indent but uix encodes the & upon publish and the non breaking space doesnt work. Any ideas on how to prevent the & from being encoded? I also tried using a databound spacer element but the spacer element doesnt allow databinding on its width property...any ideas welcome.
thanks
Rachel

In Java, a non-breaking space is "\u00a0", not " ". is an HTML thing only.
Also, <spacer> definitely does allow databinding on width.

Remove non breaking space in cells

Hi everyone,
is there a way to remove the non breaking space tag "&nbsp" from the cells when the table is exported to excel?
regards,
Dionisios

When the report is exported to excel, all the empty cells have the value " ". This is an HTML specific code that implies a non breaking space. This however creates a problem sometimes when users try to summarize columns or rows. I just wanted to know if there's a way of avoiding to get this HTML specific code in the export xls.

Mail And Non-Breaking Spaces

I posted a topic some time ago and had zero (0) answer to it. Here it is once again.
Mail doesn't know what to do with non breaking spaces (alt-spacebar). It simply ignores them. The right encoding is there all right (I checked) but Mail acts exactly as if it were an ordinary space.
This forum treats those non breaking spaces correctly. TextEdit treats them correctly. But Mail doesn't and hasn't done for several year now.
This is a major irritant in French, where the rules of typography dictate such a space before all high punctuation (question mark and all that).
Does somebody know something about this, and why Mail behaves like such a bad guy?
RTP, annoyed

Sir:
I know perfectly well that (almost) nobody works for Apple here. This being said, before sending a bug report, it's common procedure to try and see if others have met the same difficulty. It would be quite nice indeed if you tried to reproduce what I observe and tell me that yes, it seems to be a bona fide bug, or no, you do not observe it and then I must see if something is wrong with my system instead of reporting a bug which is not a bug.
I invite you to take a look at my unanswered questions. You may ask yourself why so few people answer topics nowadays. If you look at my "answered" questions, see the number of them that I solved by myself because very few people chimed in. There is one reason for this, but I do not want to enter this debate once again.
This was kind of you to give me the proper references for bugs, even if I knew them already, which you could not know, as I have reported several bugs in the past.
In the mean time, I will continue to try to find a work around for this problem, and what is as important, how my posts are received in Entourage, Windows, or web-based email systems. I will then report my findings in this same topic.
Thank you for taking the time to answer my post.

Is there a Non Break space or Keep with?

Is there a "Non Break space" or "Keep with next word"?
In a data merge scenario some records need to stay together such as <<Year>>.<<Make>> and Vin <<VIN>>
Is there a character to keep these together?
ID CS5.5

You could make the spaces between them non-breaking, (rt-click > Insert White Space > Non-Breaking Space), or apply a no-break Character Style to the fields and the spaces between them.

Trim non-breaking space

I have got some columns imported with leading non-breaking space (chr(160)) when I imported them from excel. I need to clean it up. How do I trim the non-breaking space out of the column.
I tried replace(column, chr(160), '') but that did not work. Can anyone help me with this? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I tried replace(column, chr(160), '') but that did not work.are you sure it is chr(160) then? replace should work though:
SQL> with t as (
select chr(160) || ' other text' s from dual
select length(s) length_org, length(replace(s,chr(160))) length from t
LENGTH_ORG LENGTH

Nokia 2710 navigator - non-breaking spaces possibl...

Hi there, this has been driving me nuts, and it seems like there should be a way to do it! I can format a message in the editor with spacing and it looks perfect, but the spaces are being trimmed it seems! Either before or after sending! Is there a way to make sure the receiver sees my formatting, or does it depend on the properties of his/her phone? (i.e. I don't know if my nokia is trimming before sending or if the receiver's phone is). If I send one to my inbox, the spaces are trimmed as well. Failing that, is there a way to insert a proper non-breaking space (ala html's   ) into an sms? I've googled so hard and no luck!! Basically I wanted to make a creative "ascii art" style msg, and I can't really do it without this...
Thanks in advance for any possible solutions!!!

THere is no non-breaking space - this si not a limitation of your particular phone, it is a limitation of the SMS service in general.
You can insert a graphical smiley into the message by selecting Options>Insert symbol>Smiley then choose from the list of available smileys.

Inserting non-breaking spaces between specific word combinations

Hi all,
I'm a bit of an InDesign novice, and need to work out an efficient way to automate a typesetting job. The story is that the work we're publishing is in the Maori language, and there are certain word combinations that are separated by spaces but need to be typeset so that they don't break across a line. When you import a doc file the line breaks can be anywhere, of course, and we've previously gone through and checked manually that all is well, with any changes that need to be made being done by hand (with changes cascading through the rest of the paragraph, of course). As you can imagine, this can be pretty time consuming, and it's all wasted if the client then asks for the font to be slightly larger etc.
I'd like to help avoid this by running a script that finds and replaces the space between certain words with a non-breaking space. We're currently producing a list of the combinations where this will occur. Are you guys able to show me how to produce a script that will replace "word1[space]word2" with "word1[nbsp]word2", "word3[space]word4" with "word3[nbsp]word4"...?
Thank you for any help you can offer!
Stephen

simplest way: use findChageByList script provided by Adobe.
the syntax for the list should be like this:
text[tab here not space]{findWhat:"word_one word_two"}[tab here not space]{changeTo:"word_one^Sword_two"}[tab here not space]{includeLockedStoriesForFind:false, includeLockedLayersForFind:false, includeHiddenLayers:false, includeMasterPages:false, includeFootnotes:true, wholeWord:true, caseSensitive:true, kanaSensitive:true, widthSensitive:true, ignoreKashidas:true, ignoreDiacritics:false}
add as many lines as needed and adjust preferenecs to your likings.
