Bug in window list dialog

I am currently using a 30 day trial version of RoboHTML 8.0.2 on Windows 7 Professional. Coming from RoboHelp 2002R2, I like having the ability to keep multiple topics open at once, but there seems to be an annoying bug in the operation of the "Windows" dialog. To see this, first open several topics so there are multiple tabs open. Choose "Windows..." from the Windows menu. From the list that appears, select a topic other than the one that is currently in the foreground tab, then click the Activate button. The chosen topic will come to the foreground. Now click the Close button (not the Close Window button!) on the window list dialog. Your chosen topic goes away and the original topic pops back up to the top. There doesn't seem to be any way to choose a topic from the window list and have it come to the foreground and stay that way.

Hi all
Nick, I use the "Nukem" approach myself. I also tend to look up and notice that I've got several tabs open. I like to squash them all really quickly. So what I do is to assign the keyboard shortcut of Ctrl+Alt+X to close all open tabs. That makes it simple for me to just press the magick key sequence.
However, I'm like Peter in the sense that I'd never use the Window menu to do this. I too just click the X on the tab.
Cheers... Rick

Bug: Navigation: Save As Dialog Boxes in Windows (thus any application) goes to Computer Drive C - instead of Quick Access

Bug: Navigation: Save As Dialog Boxes in Windows (thus any application) still have its legacy behavior implemented and navigates to a computer drive, by preselecting and letting the user start at Computer > Drive C - instead of Quick Access.
This is simply a forgotten correction after Quick Access has been introduced that needs to be corrected for Quick Access to work effectively (in a valuable way for the user) with files not just during create and modify operations on files - but also Open
file - using File Dialog Boxes (although users may use launch instead for Opening files using i.e. Explorer or navigation from shortcuts on the desktop).
This missing change of File Dialog Box behavior is unintended and now contradicts the new design with Quick Access for faster navigation (so you should not have to start with a scroll and extra navigation to look for Quick Access (contradiction:
i.e. QUICK Access)
Please support the new navigation provided by Quick Access intended to give Quick Access - thus Save As must be able to start here.
For variability, may be provide an overriding option in Explorer>Folder Options>General (if you change the default behaviour in the File Dialogue) to have Save As start at Computer > Drive C.
! Remember to do the change for the Common File Dialog as well - used by most widespread software applications in the Adobe software applications portfolio, i.e. Adobe Photoshop CS6

Thank you for your time and response! Unfortunately, we have the machine locked down pretty tight (they are public use computers that require heavy restriction) and it is set to restrict all drives so access is limited to the local profile. We did try
testing your method, however, by adding the Desktop as an allowed location in the Office policy (which would not solve the issue for the other applications but was good for a test) using the path %userprofile%\desktop. When choosing that location, it does
not throw the error but unfortunately, it does not remember like it did for your with the E: drive so it still always throws the error when first loading the dialogue box no matter what I do. If you're able to confirm that this is simply by design and we're
just expected to inform our users to click through the errors, then I guess that's the accepted answer. Although, do you think that there might be a registry key value that is set after you save to the E: drive for the first time? Maybe we could set that value
to %userprofile%\desktop if it's doing the redirection after the first save through registry. Thanks again!

Is this a security bug in Windows 8.1?

I think I have discovered a serious security bug in Windows 8.1.
Today I was using my (non-Admin) user account and with Internet Explorer I saved a file in the default Downloads folder (under This PC). The file was saved, but when I went to that folder, the file was not there! Now, I was about to downloaded
it again, using IE, same as before, when I noticed in the Save dialog box that the file had indeed been downloaded, and that it was there, in the Downloads folder under This PC. Frustrated, I went to that very folder, but the file was nowhere
to be found. I was really puzzled.
Then, by chance, while logged in another account (namely the Admin account), I happened to go to the Downloads folder, and there was the file that I had downloaded using the other account.
Obviously, what I described above represents a security problem: firstly because my private files may get saved by mistake into another person's account without me even realizing it, and secondly because I was able to access another person account
(i.e. the Admin account) via the IE's Save dialog box, seeing the list of the files there, and possibly even accessing them (I have not tried the latter, though).
Has anyone experienced anything like the situation I described?
I must also say that I later tried to replicate this abnormal behavior, but for some unknown reason I couldn't. Anyway, I am sure that what I described above is an accurate account of how things went.

Hi,
Since I cannot repro your issue on my own computer, it cannot be a bug.
I suggest we try to use another user account to see if there is the same issue happened.
Please make sure your location of download folder is right:
Right click Downloads folder, and choose Properties.
Make sure the location is right under your user profile.
If not, please click Location and click Restore default.
If we still fail to solve you issue, please run Process monitor at the end of the downloading process to capture the actions, and upload the save log here for further research.
You can also check if there is any weird actions at the end of downloading process.
Process Monitor v3.05

Bug in windows installer

The windows installer for jmf seems to overwrite the CLASSPATH instead of appending, which you would expect.

There seems to be a bug in Windows 7 when setting the Environment Path Variable from Control Panel - System - Advanced System Settings - System Variables - select Path - click Edit - opens The Edit System Variable dialog box
The Edit System Variable dialog box displayed the same collection of path strings (each terminated by ';') as I get when I opened a command prompt window and type 'path'. However, it was not possible to add a new path string (c:\wills\bin;) after the last
string. I presumed that the collection of path strings was too long so I removed a few of the path strings. Unfortunately, I still couldn't type my new path string.
BUG1: I would appear that length validation for text control in the Edit System Variable dialog box is not set to the same length as the max length for the collection of path strings.
BUG2: I was eventually able to enter my new path string after deleting some more path strings, but I hit further problems after saving my new path variable (press OK) as it seemed to delete some path strings at the start of the collection. For example %SystemRoot%\system32.
Therefore, I was unable to reopen the dialog box from Control Panel.

Invisible windows appears when trying to open a new window. These windows are listed in the Window list, but I cannot switch to them or close them. This also occurs when I try to "View Source". This was not a problem prior to my 6.0 upgrade.

I cannot open a new window for FireFox.

The Downloads Window cannot be accessed either.
This is very annoying. Is this a bug? Or is there a fix.

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

Windows font dialog box?

Is there such a thing as a standard Windows font dialog box,
similar to the
Open and Save dialogs that you can access with the FileIO
Xtra? Something
that would allow a user to select a font that was loaded on
their system,
select color, size, style etc and then return the selection
so that Lingo
could modify a text cast member? Or am I going to have to
create this
myself?

BuddyAPI has a, windows only, function "baFontList" that will
return a
list of the fonts that are installed on a user's computer.
There may be
others.
Once you have the list of fonts, you could build a screen
that allows
the user to select the options that you give them. Or, you
could use the
MUI Xtra to create a system type window that contains all of
the options
that you want the user to select. Or, you could create a
Movie in a
Window that mimics a system window to do the same work.

Hi Lukewig,
You are right they must be opened some where in my system,
but the list it gives me is too long. Here i am giving you what i
write to get window list in BuddyAPI:
wlist = baWindowList("","", false)
put wlist
[395282, 395284, 4064222, 15598522, 4915774, 65688, 4129430,
65670, 196682, 131192, 65672, 196680, 196678, 393684, 196664,

After getting this list i use the following code to get the
window captions:
wlist = baWindowList("","", false)
put wlist
repeat with aWindow in wList
if baWindowInfo(aWindow,"title")="" then next repeat
put baWindowInfo(aWindow, "title")
end repeat
--Which gives me:

You see, how long the list is and what if i now go to detect
windows from my selected list, it off course will take a lot of
memory resources.
Well, besides this i also give a try to mcProFusion to do the
same:
profusion xtra result
program=mcWindowGetList()
put program
-- "list - Director MX 2004

Messages.log - Notepad
Untitled - Notepad
Buddy API Pricing - Microsoft Internet Explorer
Adobe - Lingo - Mozilla Firefox

xtras
wndxtra
Program Manager
And this is giving me a short of only those windows which are
presently running on a user system and which a user can see as
well.
So, can you tell me any way to use this buddyAPI to get a
short list of only viewable/presently running window's captions ??
Thanks a lot anyways.

Need to suppress Windows Security dialog when connecting to CRM WCF service from application

I am currently developing a Windows desktop application that uses the CRM WCF service as a data source. The CRM environment uses AD authentication. The problem I have is that our domain enforces a password expiration policy, so every three months each user's
CRM password changes, and the one stored for the user (in encrypted form) in the application becomes invalid.
When that happens, after logging into the application, the user is presented with a Windows Security dialog asking them to enter their network user credentials. If they do so the first time, they're asked up to a dozen more times, to authenticate a bunch
of OrgServiceProxy objects in a pool. This is confusing, frustrating, and dangerous from a security mindset (don't want the user getting too comfortable entering network credentials into every dialog that asks). I want to suppress this popup, and instead have
the CRM authentication immediately throw the SecurityNegotiationException I'm expecting if the credentials passed are wrong. The app will catch that and direct the user to the User Maintenance screen where they can update their credentials.
I know it's possible to put the site in a zone with custom security settings suppressing this prompt, but Group Policy to do that is kind of heavy-handed and could have unintended consequences. I would prefer a programmatic "quick fix" for now,
until we can re-architect the application's security layer to do all authentication against AD.
Thanks.

No workspace switcher or window list in gnome

I mainly use a amall screened netbook and I'd very much like to get rid of the window bars in Gnome3 as I find they use up too much space and I'd rather use the keyboard to close the open windows and move the windows.
I really don't know where to look, I can't make any sense of the theme's file in /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/...
[EDIT]
I'll answer myself, as it was fairly easy after all:
The file is divided in several parts, each with setting for maximized or non-maximized windows etc. To have maximized windows have no title bar add in the line starting with <frame_geometry name="max":
has_title="false"
You can also specify the size of the bar with
title_scale="xx-small"
Avaliable are x-small, small, large, x-large etc.
could please tell me what is the name of the file to edit it,
thanks,

I have apps loaded on my iPad. they show in the main screen are not available to load documents to in the window list which should appear below the main window. the same apps do appear in the sub window on my other iPad. any ideas?

From what I can see, unless you're doing things with old versions of Xcode on a Mac (in which case, the solution seems to be to upgrade to the latest version), this seems to e an iTunes issue.
Accepting that it works fine with another iPad, I suggest trying the following:
1. Restart the non-working iPad
2. If that doesn't work, reinstall iTunes. If you're on a Windows PC, I suggest using Control Panel to uninstall all the Apple apps, restarting the PC, and doing a fresh install. If you're using a Mac, a repair permissions might help too.
iTunes 10.3 is now available, and that may make a difference.

On a Mac, how do I close tabs or windows where dialogs have popped up trying to download malware and you cannot close them?

On a Mac, how do I close tabs or windows where dialogs have popped up trying to download malware and you cannot close them? I think it's Ctrl+F4 on a PC. I would like to close just these tabs or windows instead of having to quit the whole firefox program.

The equivalent of Control+F4 is Command+W, I have not tried it but you may still get the alert boxes when closing a tab using this method.
The AlertCheck add-on can be used to block the infinite loops such as this - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/alertcheck - This functionality is built into Firefox 4.
An alternative method in Firefox 3.6.* is to temporarily turn off JavaScript. Open the Firefox preferences window, go to the Content panel and de-select the setting "Enable JavaScript" then click OK. You will then be able to close the tab, and can then re-enable JavaScript.

Windows and dialogs, when resizing, auto-update UI?

How do you allow the ui to keep being updated as you resize a window or dialog? I keep seeing the border move, then when I stop it updates the UI. I know its faster, but I was just curious of the other could be done?
Thanks.

Thanks. It works, but definitely noticeably slow. Even on a PIV1.8Ghz with 1GB memory I see that it doesn't update very smoothly. It seems if I move the pane slowly it will update alright, but if I move it even partly fast, it doesn't refresh until the move is done. Definitely shows the slowness of swing compared to native.

Skype Performance Bug under Windows 8 x64 / endles...

Dear Developers,
please get rid of an annoying bug under Windows 8 x64 - this bug exists since several versions and still not fixed.
Summary:
After a while - maybe associated with energy saving options - a thread in Skype is getting more and more CPU time, causes by a thread always starts with ntdll!RtlGetCurrentPeb+0xf (see att.) <- what does this thread actually?
Results:
Heavy CPU usage, slowly Skype response - missing Messages. Only Skype restarts helps.
I will do more investigation if needed. Let me know.
Update:
The thread uninterruptedly reads from
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\MMDevices\Audio\Render\*
Appears to a not catched endless loop?

My Thinkpad originally came with Windows 7 Pro, but I have changed to Windows 8 in order to resolve problems with VSS.

Under Windows 8, however, replacing the Windows driver with the latest Lenovo driver has reduced "Desktop graphics performance" to 5.6! What gives?
P.S. I just discovered a Power Options advanced power setting "Intel Graphics Power Plan", which was set to "Maximum Battery Life" for both battery and plugged in. I changed it to "Maximum Performance" when plugged in, but the Windows experience Index (WEI) for "Desktop graphics performance" remains a mer 5.8.
After you changed the setting to "Maximum Performance" , did you run the WEI test again?

Beryl and "Show window list" icon problem

If I enable "Show window list" in application switcher I get some sort of minimized application after switching between apps.
I'm using XFCE and I made my minimized windows go on my desktop and using this application switcher means I get an icon labeld "??" when I try to switch applications. If I try and close it or do anything with it - Beryl crashes.
The same thing happened when I used rox with the pinboard option.
Did anyone encounter this? and If so how do I get rid of it?!
