Another screenshot bug?

hi there,
using leopard since some weeks now. when taking screenshots i very often use cmdctrl+shift4 then spacebar to take screenshots of windows. when i copy them into photoshop or keynote, the dropshadow is black, so that the whole screenshot gets a black border, which is very annoying... if i dont save them in the clipboard and do cmdshift4 and load from the desktop, everything is fine...
does somebody know how to fix this?
thanx. oli

BT Cloud, another curious bug

Another curious bug to add the the BT Cloud chamber of horrors.
BT Cloud somehow decided on the Web Interface that my main device contained two separate top levels, 'D' and 'd'.
Most things I had backed up from my D drive showed up under 'D', with just a few under 'd'.
On the PC client, everything showed up under 'd'.
The extra 'd' was a bit irritating on the web interface, and none of the files saved in it was significant, and so I decided to delete it in the web interface.
Result:
1: 'd' correctly deleted in the web interface (they seem to have fixed the bug where you couldn't delete folders in the web interface)
2: 'd' deleted from what shows up in the PC client. As the PC client never showed anything under 'D' but everything under 'd', when I look at my main device it now shows 'This folder does not contain any files.'
3: All the files still showing up correctly under 'D' on the web interface
4: PC client still knows what it is trying to back up from the D drive:
- the auto-backup folders show up correctly when I look in 'Add to Backup' (usability bug: 'Add to Backup' doesn't admit to what path it thinks they are from)
- it correctly backs up new files added to these auto-backup folders
- it still knows about the backed up files if I look under 'All Files'; and remembers correctly what directory they came from. (usability bug: but not easy for the user to see what directory they came from)
5: No files actually deleted from my PC.
I don't trust BT Cloud at all yet, so I am only experimenting and waiting till it is ready as a backup solution. Meanwhile, all my files are backed up elsewhere. I didn't trust BT Cloud not to make an even bigger silly and delete lots of my original files; I trust it even slightly less now.
BT Cloud still has the makings of something that might be useful eventually, so I still keep hoping and trying ....

Hi Sjtp,
Thanks for the feedback. I will make sure the cloud team get this useful info.
Cheers

10.5.2 Screenshot bug

Here is yet another bug from the 10.5.2 update. I minor one, but nevertheless a bug.
When taking a screenshot - cmdshift3 - you get a black duplicate.
Anyone else having the same problem?
One more thing: I wonder if someone from Apple take notice of the major topics here?

One more thing: considered this subject http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6601315#6601315 - is it supposed to take a screeshot of the display that's not active?
Before the 10.5.2 update it just took a screenshot of the active display. Now it takes one of both, whether it's active or not.
I'd prefer it just took a screenshot of the active display, single or plural.

Have i found another big bug? from 2nd monitor profile bug to Exp panel bug

Well 2.0.1 is out and i was hoping for a fix for the second monitor color profile bug ... but no, not yet.
But guess what .. i think i have found another little treat.
Ok here we go, click on the Exposure, Recovery or Black Point sliders (but don't move them), notice anything?
On my system as soon as you click, the shadows block up. Take your finger of the button and they shadows go back to normal.
Next .. click and slide, when the button is down... blocked shadows again, release the button and shadows open up.
This also happens in the White balance panel.
Also we still have the tint slider problem, click it and it jumps the tint.
The exposure and white balance problem only happens in full screen mode.
It happens on my second monitor when running in mirror or alternate (or any other of the settings)
If i press the F key and go full screen on my macbook pro, the same thing happens on the macbook's screen.
Press the Z key to zoom to 100% and the problem goes away on either screen.
But get this ..... click any of the sliders in the Enhance panel before going to the Exposure panel (you don't have to move them), then go back to the exposure panel and...EVERYTHING FINE.....whaaaaaaat.
So now i have a second monitor with dodgy colors and an exposure panel glitch.
Thought this was an update!!!
Anyone else got this problem?
Oh, just to add, i have deleted pref files, deleted aperture altogether, re-installed 2.0 and 2.0.1, rebuilt library, tried on another library...all with no joy.
Sigh

Another Minor Bug in SQLDev

I discovered another minor irritant in sqlDeveloper.
Steps to recreate the bug:
1) Create table t ( n1 number); (table created)
2) insert into t values (1); Commit; (Record Committed)
3) Goto Explorer on the left pane and click on the table to view the table t on the right (table will be displayed with a single column); Click on the data tab to view the data.
4) Alter table t add (n2 binary_float); (Table modified)
5) insert into t values (10, 10); Commit; (record committed)
6) click on refresh button to view the data.
You would expect to see two columns and two rows of record. But you would see only one column and two rows of data.
7) click on columns tab and click on the refresh button. (Two columns are displayed).
8) now go back to data tab; you would still see only ONE column and two records. Clicking on refresh does not display two columns
Only alternative is to close the tab and click on the table t again. You can now view the records with two columns
Version: 2.1.1.64
OS: Linux
Database: 11g
-- rsrini

I am having a similar problem in 2.1.063.10. When I put in a filter I need to use the enter key and not the refresh button. Nothing happens to the data grid when I hit refresh button. When I enter a filter that causes no data to display, then blank out the filter and hit the refresh button, no data is displayed in the grid. Then I hit enter and the data grid is refreshed.

IMovie 09 voiceovers silent - another iMovie09 bug

Hello,
in addition to all the iMovie bugs reported, I now observe from time to time, that iMovie changes volume of the latest voiceovers on its own. I did the following:
1. I changed some things in my iMovie project. Especially I added some voiceovers.
2. I closed iMovie
3. I made a backup copy to another drive
4. I re-opened iMovie again
Result: Some voiceovers are randomly very very silent and the volume an not be changed anymore.
5. I check my backup copy on another Mac: Same result.
What happened? Who can support me?
Apple works always on new fancy stuff, but seems to forget the simple things.
Jürgen

Sorry to post again, but I can't find any other post about this problem. Have you found a solution for this. I have the same problem. Can't change the volume of voiceovers in some projects...... but had no problem doing it before.

Another keyboard bug

Hi,
While the "dead key" bug is still not fixed in LR2 (although already
reported in LR 1 and LR2 beta), there's another problem with the Tab
key.
I use the Alt-Tab combo under Windows to switch from an application to
another. If I use Alt-Tab to switch from LR to another app, LR ignores
the Alt key - which is currently depressed - and just see the Tab key,
and therefore it modifies the user interface layout accordingly (as if I
had hit the Tab key only) just before Windows switches to the other
application I have selected. Irritating.
It's another sign that LR installs its own keyboard handler, which is
far from being perfect (at least under Windows).
But the "dead key" bug is from far more annoying and I don't understand
why they are unable to fix this - but well, it's just affecting those
not having a US keyboard layout, so maybe it's not a problem for Adobe?
We are just paying more for less quality :-( .
Patrick
PS: For those who are not aware of it: The "dead key" bug makes
impossible to enter any character that requires a dead key to be
produced. For example, to enter " ê " on a french keyboard, you need to
hit " ^ " and then " e ". In LR, this yields " ^^e " instead of " ê ".
Same problem with other european keyboard layouts and other special
characters. So you have to use the old Alt + Code trick in order to
enter those characters (and you also have to remember these codes - very
modern UI, indeed).
I find surprising that a software that has reached this high level of
quality is still suffering from such a stupid bug that has been reported
since a very long time.

It switches corectly to other apps. Hi Tom, I didn't say that it didn't switch to the other app. But before it does, LR acts as if I had hit the Tab key and therefore closes or opens the right and left panels. -- Patrick

Solo Track : another weird bug ?

Year after year, I find more and more annoying bugs in Logic Pro. This time it's the Solo Track button that act weird :
Take track with regions.
Activate the Solo button on that track.
Move a region from another track (that is not in Solo) to the Solo'ed track : this region WON'T BE PLAYED !!!
You NEED to un-Solo and re-Solo the track in order to include the new region...

I think I figured this one out. If you are soloing the regions, and you move a region that isn't soloed onto the track, that region will not become soloed. If you solo the track without any regions selected, then when you move a region from an unsoloed track, it activates....
I think. Don't have Logic in front of me right now to test.

Another Scrabble Bug

When the iPod is connected to an external speaker, For example, a Bose external amplifier/speaker for the iPod, switching music "off" actually turns the music off. This is good.
Um, not so with EA Scrabble for the iPod. When it plays its (annoying) background sounds, and one selects "off", it says, "uh uh, let me annoy you more fully" and turns the music back on.

I think i've found another bug with setBundledExceptionMode(true), this time regarding dates.
If you are using the oracle.jbo.format.DefaultDateFormatter then even with setBundledExceptionMode(true), a java.text.ParseException gets thrown IMMEDIATELY if the inputed date format is incorrect.
I got around this problem by subclassing oracle.jbo.format.DefaultDateFormatter and catching the java.text.ParseExceptionThis is not a DATE only issue. Formatting service as a whole currently sits outside of Bc4J runtime apis and thus "does not" honor Bc4J settings like exception mode etc.
JSPs need to "wrap" such exceptions and honor bundling of exceptions by going thru' the rest of the attributes. I'd log a bug for JSP code=gen for this.

Another Compiler Bug (message: An internal build error has occurred... Unknown Flex Problem)

I was fighting with this problem for a few days. Finally I've got it resolved. I want to describe it and fill in BUG in the bug report, but I am not sure about Adobe support options. So, I am putting bug report here.
1. ASSUMPTION: All problems which compiler reports as unknown problem are the real compiler BUGs/Problems. Eventually MXML compiler/ActionScript compiler should be able to take C++ or FORTRAN code or an aribitrary text and nicely tell "Error: It is not ActionScript (Flex) code" or "the code is corrupted from Line so and so...". When compiler crashed, it is most probably due to one of the states not handled (or not handled correct). Keeping this in mind I assume, that my code has nothing to do with the compiler crash.
2. PROBLEM Description.
 - I tried to port our internal project from Flex3.5/Flex Builder 3 to Flex4.1/Flash Builder 4.
 - After checking out and trying to build code I start getting weird problems like Error 1037: Packages cannot be nested.
 - After cleaning and compiling project by project, walking up dependency tree, I was able to get rid of this problem.
 - On last Project I've got another problem (An internal build error has occurred... Unknown Flex Problem). Which I stuck with for a while.
 - When I checked log file I found following messages:

3. RESOLUTION/WORK AROUND
 - I was able to get this problem cleared by putting compiler option for Flex Application projects: -keep-generated-actionscript
4. SIDE NOTE
I do not really see putting this compiler option as the solution and living with the mistery is making me fill a bit bad.

Hi Faser,
I just tried it on Vista with our latest FB Plugin build but
I was unable to reproduce your issue with the following setup:
- FB Plugin build installed by Administrator account user
under her Documents folder
- Administrator account user can launch, create Flex projects
under her own workspace without any problems
- Standard account user can launch the FB Plugin build (need
Admin's password) and create Flex project (default location) under
his own workspace
If your setup is different, can you please log a bug at
http://bugs.adobe.com/flex.
Be sure to include what build you are using, whether it's
reproducible, the detail of the setup, etc...
thanks,
Sharon

Another Airport Bug

<div style="-webkit-border-radius: 15px; border: 1px solid grey; background: #eee; padding: 5px;"
I've been searching all over both Apple's knowledge base and the rest of the internet because of this problem. My Macbook Pro's built-in airport is totally unusable,
The menubar item displays the "airport on" image, but the only two options are "turn airport on," which does nothing, and the "Open Internet Connect..." item. Internetc Connect says the Airport is on, and the status is
"Status not availible"
"Status not availible"
"Status not availible".
The Airport will automatically connect to open wireless networks, but does not inform the user. The Airport menu bar remains the same.
Has anyone encountered this problem, or have a suggestion?
17" Macbook Pro Core 2, 2GB Ram, Bootcamp'd Mac OS X (10.4.8)

More info: these people seem to have the same bug::
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4176858
This is another instance -- but the helpful responder confuzed the built-in airport with a base station.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4004411
Another thread; this seems to be a fairly common bug:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4087082&
I submitted a bug report on this, so hopefully Apple will get back to us (affected users).
Also: I don't seem to be able to edit my first message - that is REALLY annoying

Another setBundledExceptionMode bug?

To the JDEV team,
I think i've found another bug with setBundledExceptionMode(true), this time regarding dates.
If you are using the oracle.jbo.format.DefaultDateFormatter then even with setBundledExceptionMode(true), a java.text.ParseException gets thrown IMMEDIATELY if the inputed date format is incorrect.
I got around this problem by subclassing oracle.jbo.format.DefaultDateFormatter and catching the java.text.ParseException
=============================================================================
import oracle.jbo.format.DefaultDateFormatter;
import java.text.ParseException;
* This class will be used by the BC4J framework application "bc4j.ear".
* Due to the above, this class needs to be treated as a BC4J framework class
* and therefore needs to be added to a jar in the OC4J classpath
public class CustomDateFormatter extends DefaultDateFormatter {
     public CustomDateFormatter() {
          super();
     * This method has the same functionallity as the super class DefaultDateFormatter.parse()
     * except that it traps any ParseExceptions so that "bundled exceptions" work correctly in
     * the BC4J framework
     public Object parse(String formatString, String parseThisString) throws ParseException {
          try {
               return super.parse(formatString, parseThisString);
          } catch (ParseException e) {
               return null;

Another major bug - titles get lost!

This is a bug which has existed through iMovie 09 and still plagues me. Is this the right place to report it?
What happens is that I amend some titles in my project and then move on, perhaps working on another project or closing iMovie and re-opening it later. When I do so, I notice that none of my title changes were saved!! 8-(
It doesn't happen all the time, but it happens often enough that I get caught out and end up publishing videos (as I did today) with credits which are wrong, for example.
Very embarrassing and I really hope Apple look into it, as it's driving me insane......

The usual advice here is to ensure that you click "Done" after amending a title. However, I've found that even doing this doesn't always cause the title to "stick". It seems to come undone after quitting iMovie. The next time iMovie is opened, the title reverts back to the previous edit. In some cases, people have reported that it defaults to the title default text. It doesn't seem to be consistent, and there doesn't appear to be any pattern to it - it just strikes now and then!
PS You can send feedback to Apple here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/imovie.html

Another Coverflow bug?

On my Classic 160G, after scrolling through coverflow and selecting the an album I want to hear, I push the center button and once the album begins to play, I have the following problem.
Once the album begins to play, if I press the menu button to go back up a level (to coverflow) the iPOD continues to play, but the controls lock up for 30 seconds. The music continues to play and after 30 seconds, the iPOD unfreezes and the time bar moves to the correct location in the song.
It's like during play the menu button is locked? I can move back and forth between songs and pause, but not up a level.
However, if I pause the track and push the menu button, after the 30 second freeze, it goes to coverflow.
I have firmware 1.0.1 and all my songs are MP3 @ 192. Is anyone else having this problem or am I headed back to the store for an exchange?

N8 Conversations - Another annoying bug

I've found that using the Conversations as the default message view, while composing SMS and hitting send, the N8 takes the message being sent as a multiple part long SMS ever for messages which are just 2 characters long. Like I was saying "Ok cool. See you later" to one of my friends, went into the delivery reports section and it said "1/2 pending", then flashed delivered.
This bug will be very annoying for people who have only a limited number of SMS bundled every month or are on a Pay as you Go solution.
Has anyone else noticed this bug? I prefer using the Conversations view as default, but it's impossible to use over a long period of time if the N8 is going to continue exhibiting this bug.
Declan

Did you actually said "Ok cool. See you later"?
Or did you use any diacritical letters?
Go to 'SMS Options' and change encoding to 'Simple'.

Another screenshot bug?
