Bug report - Application Search

Apex 4.1
See http://screencast.com/t/wc8cyKKV5Pvh
Searching for a string like *1e6* in the Search box is interpreted as a number (in scientific notation) and it tries to pull up page no 1000000

Hi Scott,
thanks for reporting. I have filed bug# 16599622

3.1 Bug Report: "Enable Search" in Create SQL Report wizard

Hi,
when "Enable Search" is set to Yes in the "Create SQL Report" wizard, the label template of the page items is set to NULL, it should be "Optional Label" (the default of the theme).
The PX_ROWS page item is not referenced in the "Number of Rows (Item)" property of the report. That means the user can choose what he wants, it never gets used.
BTW, it would be useful to write the PX_ROWS into a user preference when the page gets submitted and based the source type on this preference.
Thanks for looking into it.

Hi Christina,
just noticed that the "Reset Pagination" process which is also generated by the wizard doesn't contain the request "Reset" in the Condition Expression 1
-> Pressing the Reset button should always set the report to the beginning.
Thanks

App Commenting/Bug Reporting: Must Search in App Store?

I learned yesterday that multitasking under iOS4 is not automatic; app developers need to create a new version to allow for multitasking. So it's time to request that enhancement of all of the apps I want to multitask!
So far, the easiest way I've found to send enhancement requests (or to report bugs) to an app developer is to go into the App Store, find the app, scroll down to the bottom of the page and hit the "Report a Problem" button.
Is there an easier way to do that? For example, perhaps from iTunes, from the window of icons for all of our purchased apps?

No replies, but ... well, whatever...

Bug report: Application.Volatile True (at least in GUI 6.2)

Consider the following UDF (User Defined Function):
Public Function ColumnWidths(rg As Range) As Double
Dim Widths As Double
Dim col As Range
Application.Volatile True
For Each col In rg.Columns
Widths = Widths + col.ColumnWidth
Next
ColumnWidths = Widths
End Function
and of course notice the embedded: Application.Volatile True.
Pop the function into a module of your VBA project then reference it on a worksheet that does NOT involve a query (just to make the test more independent of BEX and what BEX does).
Now refresh the query and am assuming you'll be plagued by a bunch of <INTERNAL ERRORS>.
Excel VBA help says this property:
"Marks a user-defined function as volatile. A volatile function must be recalculated whenever calculation occurs in any cells on the worksheet. A nonvolatile function is recalculated only when the input variables change. This method has no effect if it's not inside a user-defined function used to calculate a worksheet cell."
I assume during the refresh sequence BEX is forced to yeild control to the UDF (which it ungracefully compains about).
Interestingly, even with calculations MANUAL the problem is well, still a problem.
Obvioulsy to get around the issue, one need only remove the offending statement then perhaps follow through with a range().calculate on the cells that hold the function.

Thanks for pointing this out... I've not read anything about this in the past.
Just curious... do you see the same problem if the LoadVars call is outside the onAppStart method, and that method is called in the onAppStart?

E75 - Maps - BUG REPORT - Contact Search by Compan...

Finally, a Nokia Business Phone allows direct search from Contacts by typing the Company name, thanks for that.
However, when I tried to use Maps to navigate to a client company, it turned impossible to find the destination by entering the company name.

thats odd
i just went to maps (im on 1.1.3) typed part of the name of one of my contacts it showed me a match - i clicked it and it mappped it fine
i then went to contacts- picked one - clicked on an address - and again it mapped it fine
just like it did when i was on 1.1.2

Bug report: ube_ipa: internal error when compiling with -xO5

When compiling imlib2-1.1.2, one source file causes compilation to fail with the following error message:
ube_ipa: internal error
cc: ube_ipa failed for loader_tiff.c
The command which fails is (probably wrapped):
cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I. -I.. -I../src -I../loaders -I../libltdl -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/openwin/include -I/opt/csw/include -I/opt/csw/include -I/opt/csw/include -g -fast -xarch=386 -xstrconst -v -xildoff -xO5 -c loader_tiff.c -KPIC -DPIC -o .libs/loader_tiff.o
Changing -xO5 to -xO4 works around the problem. The source file in question is imlib2-1.1.2/loaders/loader_tiff.c
Patch 112756-10 has been applied, and doesn't correct the problem. GCC doesn't have any problem compiling the file.
A quick note to any Sun employees reading this: it took me 45 minutes to find somewhere to submit this bug report. Searching sun.com for "submit bug report" turned up many forum postings where people asked "Where do I submit bug reports?", a bug report form for Sun One Java Studio, and not much else. It might be in your interest to make submitting bugs easier.

Internal errors, such as the one you encountered, are generally considered compiler bugs. They indicate that the compiler reached an unexpected state and therefore bailed out. I opened bug 20703141: internal error: pic_relocs(): hh reltype? to investigate. I see the same error message emitted by the current Studio development release; I will update this thread if I find a work-around.
Thanks,
Mark

IOS 8 Bug Reporter suddenly crashes constantly

Hi,
I have ios 8 beta. Earlier today I was making drafts in the Bug Reporter application that came with ios 8. I currently have 4 drafts. I could not submit these yet beacuse I did not have wifi. So, when I finally got to wifi, I opened the Bug Reporter, entered my email and password, and then it crashed right after that. I have done a reset, and a restart. I just cant seem to find out what the problem is and why this will not work, because I have already submitted 3 bug reports yesterday and some today with absolutely no problems. I managed to dig up a log file from the Bug Reporter crash and will post it below. I hope somebody can kindly help, as I am trying to make ios 8 a better OS for apple and users when it is released. I can not do this without Bug Reporter.
Thank you so very much!!

Bug report, how do I find out what is wrong?

my computer keeps getting bug reports stuck all over the desktop. When I print them it is 3 pages long and I dont know how to use the information from it. It only occurs when my son is using Runescape an online game. My son says he has reported all the errors when the computer prompts him to. I did find an Bug Report that seems to be associated with this problem. Our computer did shut down occasionally also, but since I switched the location of the new memory I added it has not continued. The reason I am checking with this website is because this is where the reports are going. The first part of the error report from my computer is this:
Unexpected Signal : EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) occurred at PC=0x809D50E

What do I need to do to fix this problem? Could it be Runescapes issue? Is there other information that is more important to this? I really appreciate any help I can get with this problem. And I am sorry for being so long. I have included the Bug Report I found that is an almost exact duplicate of our issue.
Thank you again, Linda Peterson.

JavaJava13 Hey just wondering. Java is used for runescape on my computer, and it seems to be constantly crashing lately. Not only the game is crshing, it seems to even take down the whole computer with it. Sometimes the computer restarts and I get an error message.
"Your system has recovered from a serious error"
Java continues to add error reports to my desktop with this code: 4F530E43505002EF
Anyone help?

try checking with runescapes FAQ/tech support. I play
WC3: RoC and i only got that same memory location
error(0xc0000005). I got that memory error when I
used a no-cd third party program when they upgraded
the server. So, my advice is check on the FAQ for
errors and ask your son if he is using
ANY third party programs.The 0xc0000005 error is a standard error on Windows that can occur for any number of reasons.
It means something in the application tried to access memory to which windows knows the application should not be accessing.

FAQ: I found a bug. How do I write a useful bug report? Or send bug files to Adobe?

If you think you've found a bug in Photoshop CS6, please post your findings here on the forums.
Here is a list of the information we'll want for you to gather at a minimum:
Clear and concise steps so that someone who isn't in front of your comptuer can reproduce the issue you are seeing
Include information on the operating system/version you are running. (e.g. "Mac OS 10.7.3" or "Win XP Service Pack 3")
Here are some more detailed instructions for writing a useful, complete bug report for us on the forums:
Provide a descriptive title that includes your OS information:Example: "Photoshop crashes when I save a JPEG file using the File>Save For Web & Devices... command (Mac OS 10.7.3)"
Provide concise, step-by-step details on how to reproduce the issue you are seeing.
Example:
Open an 8-bit, RGB image by selecting File>Open...
Create a new layer by clicking the "Create New Layer" button on the bottom of the Layers panel
Paint on the layer created in Step #2 using the default Brush tool
Choose File>Save For Web & Devices...
Make sure the optimized format is set to "JPEG" and set the Quality setting to "80"
Click the Save button at the bottom of the Save For Web & Devices dialog, choose the desktop as the location for saving the file
Provide a description of the "Result" you are observing:
Example: "Result: Photoshop crashes"
If there is an error dialog, please include the exact wording displayed in the dialog or provide a screen shot or video of the entire screen so we can see the dialog as well as the state of the application - i.e. what panels are shown, the state of the Layers panel, etc.
If the error is a visual defect, either in the user interface or the image itself, provide a screen shot or video of the entire screen so we can see the dialog as well as the state of the application - i.e. what panels are shown, the state of the Layers panel, etc.
Provide a description of the "Expected Result":
Example: "Expected Result: Photoshop to save JPEG file to the desktop, no crash"
In some cases this may be obvious (such as in the case of a crash) but in others, what you expect to happen may be different than what the application was designed to do. Please be as specific as possible.
Provide the crash log by submitting all crash reports, including your email address, for every single crash your encounter:
You may also include the contents of your crash log in your forum posts as well, but always submit them using the above instructions as well.
Crash logs are located on Macintosh here: Users/<your user name>/Library/Logs/CrashReporter
Provide your System Info from Photoshop: What's even more useful is if you can share your System Info from Photoshop as it contains all kinds of useful information (OS/version, graphics card, driver version, 3rd party plug-ins used, etc) that will help the team track down your issue.
On occasion, the Photoshop engineers may request that you provide problematic files in order to reproduce and debug your issue.
In these cases, please post the file somewhere using your own servers or one your favorite online document/distribution services and provide a URL/instructions to download the file:
Dropbox
Adobe SendNow
YouSendIt
If the file isn't something you can post publically, you can request that someone from the engineering team contact you to figure out a secure way to get the affected files.
Thanks,
The Photoshop Development Team

First thing would be to realise the exact error. Second would be to check your logs to see what you have installed/upgraded which might be causing this error. Third, google your error and see if matches turn up. Fourth, search in Arch bugtracker to see if a match exist. Else file a report.

Confused after reading bug report

Hello,
I'm working on a desktop application which utilizes the system tray. I have an icon set with a popup menu that is triggered when the user left-clicks on the icon. Originally I was using java.awt.PopupMenu but then came across javax.swing.JPopupMenu which looks a little nicer and has support for icons. For the most part it works great. However I noticed that when the user triggers the popup menu more than once (i.e. the user left-clicks the tray icon twice or more times), a ClassCastException is thrown. After doing a bit of searching, I came across [this bug report|http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6583251] and many others describing the issue I was having.
According to the report, the evaluation is:
Everything is clear
we shouldn't cast mouseEvent.getSource() to Component without checkingUnfortunately this still leaves me a little confused. I mean, it does sort of let me know where the problem is happening (in the MouseListener portion of my Tray Menu where I am trying to detect the popup trigger), but I don't understand if this means that there is a way to prevent this from happening or not.
In other words, I think the bug is coming from this block of code (correct me if I am mistaken):
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
          if ( e.isPopupTrigger() ) {
               this.setLocation( e.getX(), e.getY() );
               this.setInvoker( this );
               this.setVisible( true );
     }Where e is apparently being casted to a Component, thus causing the error. Now, why this error occurs when the user clicks twice or more on the icon, I don't really understand. Ultimately, my question is: Is there any other way this can be written to prevent the error?
One solution would be to simply use java.awt.PopupMenu, but I want to make sure there isn't a better solution first as JPopupMenu looks much nicer.. but if I have no other option, I will of course substitute looks for function.
Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.
(Apologies if this is the wrong forum. I was originally going to post this in the Swing forum, but the error actually cites AWT, yet I'm using a Swing component.. so I figured the Java Programming forum would be alright. Well, please feel free to move it if necessary.)

ejp wrote:
The exception stack trace tells you where the exception is being thrown from. It certainly isn't from that code, because there are no class casts of any kind there, let alone casts of e.getSource() to Component.Hi ejp, thank you for the response. My apologies.. I only assumed that e.isPopupTrigger() was throwing the exception because the bug report mentioned mouse events, and the stack trace doesn't specify where the error is within my code (e.g. the line, method, or even which class is throwing the error that I've written, though it does cite other Java classes not written by me). The e.getSource() in actionPerformed() was my next guess because that and the MouseListener are the only two places where I am detecting events. Nevertheless, I still don't believe that I am using casting, so I'm not sure how to fix this.
Here is the stack trace:

Again, any help is appreciated. Thanks again, ejp!

Bug Report: The keyboard focus doesn't automatical...

Bug Report: When a conversation window opens, the focus doesn't automatically land in the chat entry text field.
Since the new interface for Skype was introduced officially in Skype 7.0, there is a bug with the system/keyboard focus for a new conversation window. When Skype is in "Split Window View" and each new conversation automatically pops up in a separate window, the system/keyboard focus doesn't land in the chat entry edit field. Instead, the user has to press Shift+TAB a couple of times, to move it there and reply to the chat message received. This especially problematic for screen reader users, who rely on keyboard navigation. This mainly occurs when a new conversation is started with an incoming message, but it sometimes occurs when moving the focus out of that conversation window and later back in it again (while it is still opened).
Steps to reproduce it:
1. From "View" menu, activate the "Split Window View", if it is not already enabled.
2. From Tools -> Options -> IM & SMS -> IM settings, enable "Open a new window when I receive a new message in Split Window View", if it is not already enabled.
3. From Tools -> Options -> Advanced, activate "Enable accessible mode", if it is not already enabled.
4. Activate the "Save" button, to save the changes.
5. Close all windows, related to Skype. You may keep only the main window opened.
6. Tell someone to send you a chat message. When the message arrives, Move the system focus to the conversation window in question, preferably with Alt+TAB. The system/keyboard will not land in the chat entry edit field as it did in Skype 6.21 and earlier and as it should by default, but in some unknown place in the window.
7. Move the system/keyboard focus in the chat entry edit field and keep it there.
8. Switch to another window, preferably from another application.
9. With Alt+TAB, switch back to the window of the opened Skype conversation. There is a chance that the system/keyboard focus will not land in the chat entry edit field as it did in Skype 6.21 and earlier and as it should do by default, but again in some unknown place in the conversation window. But that is harder to reproduce.
Test environment:
- Operating system: Windows 8.1 Pro N, 64-bit, in Bulgarian with all locale settings set to "Bulgarian".
- Skype version: 7.0.0.102 for Desktop.

This is a known problem, but Skype have not given us an estimated time for a fix.
Traditionally, Skype updates have been roughly monthly, so we are due a new version sometime soon. Many of us here are hoping that is has a bunch of fixes for the UI, the focus problem being one of them.

Bug Report: New conversation window stills the sys...

Bug Report: Skype Desktop: New conversation window stills the system/keyboard focus.
When the UI is in multi-window mode and a conversation window pops up (due for example to a newly received chat message), that window steals the system/keyboard focus, even though it appears in a minimized state in the Windows taskbar. And this should not happen by default, because it is impractical (especially for screen reader users). And it didn't happen in Skype 6.21 and earlier. But since the new UI was introduced officially in Skype 7.0, it started happening constantly.
Steps to reproduce it:
1. From "View" menu, activate the "Split Window View", if it is not already enabled.
2. From Tools -> Options -> IM & SMS -> IM settings, enable "Open a new window when I receive a new message in Split Window View", if it is not already enabled.
3. From Tools -> Options -> Advanced, activate "Enable accessible mode", if it is not already enabled.
4. Activate the "Save" button, to save the changes.
5. Close all windows, related to Skype. You may keep only the main window opened.
6. Move the system focus to another application.
7. Tell someone to send you a chat message. When the message arrives and the conversation window pops up minimized in the Windows Taskbar, everything seams to be as it should. A few seconds after that however, the system/keyboard focus gets moved to that new conversation window, even though it is neither restored/maximized (it is minimized), nor it is visible on the screen (except as a button in the taskbar).
Actual results:
When a new conversation window pops up in the Windows taskbar, it stills the system/keyboard focus to itself from the currently focused application.
Expected results:
Skype's popping up new conversation windows should not still the system/keyboard focus to themselfs from the currently focused application.
Test environment:
- Operating system: Windows 8.1 Pro N, 64-bit, in Bulgarian with all locale settings set to "Bulgarian".
- Skype version: 7.0.0.102 for Desktop.

This is a known problem, but Skype have not given us an estimated time for a fix.

Sending a bug report on the OS and a sleep mode problem.

I find the bug button in Safari really convenient for sending Apple bug reports. And when other applications crash, you usually get an error dialog with a button to send a bug report. But sometimes problems arise that require reporting, but which don't fall in either of these categories. It would be very handy to have a bug "button" for the OS, or perhaps just a menu selection in the Finder menu bar that invokes a bug report dialog box. I know you can dig around and find the URL for Apple's bug report web page, but I am always forgetting it -- I suppose I could just bookmark it, but then I'd just have to dig around in all the bookmarks to find it. Better would be a utility built-in to the OS for sending bug reports (like Safari's). It could also automatically transfer necessary info about the OS rev and such.
The problem I had was this. I have a script that puts my iMac to sleep. I put the script alias on the task bar and a single click puts the computer to sleep (easier than using the menu). Unfortunately, I sometimes click it by mistake when I am trying to click an adjacent icon in the task bar, and the Mac starts going through its cycle to enter sleep mode and is impervious to anything I do to try and cancel it. I tried pressing the space bar continuously to prevent it from going to sleep, but that did not work. Worse, when it went to sleep and I woke it up again, the task bar would not appear, clicking on app windows did not activate them, Finder menus could not be selected, etc. The cursor would move, but I could not do anything else. (I wish now I had noted if the clock in the menu bar was still advancing, but I didn't think to do that.) I powered down the iMac from the power key and rebooted. Things are working fine now.
I wanted to send a bug report on this, but realized that unlike Safari, there was no button or menu selection for doing that. So here I am.
Any suggestions are welcome.
TIA,
Drake

Bug report: Safari 5 fails to handle 8192 bit RSA certificates

Running Safari 5.1.7 on OS X 10.6.8 -- I haven't confirmed for the version of Safari running on 10.7 -- and trying to access a site over https that uses an 8192 bits large RSA cert causes Safari to bug out. It can't display the certificate details correctly, giving just a garbled text output, and even a buggy interface dialog, and manually trying to accept the certificate to get the website to load causes Safari to run in an endless loop, displaying the certificate warning anew, over and over, making it impossible to load the page. The exact same certificate details put in a 4096 bit cert works just fine.
Could anyone in the core dev team take a look at this? The number of sites making use of 8192 bit large certs is growing, and Safari is the only browser out there that can't handle it.
add.: it seems the problem sits at a more fundamental level than in Safari, possibly in some underlying framework - apparently several other applications in OS X fails with handling an RSA cert of 8192 bits size, as mentioned in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/11728527
Possibly related: https://discussions.apple.com/message/3650856
