BUG REPORT: Layers with 100% height in timeline knock bottommost layer(s) out of scrollable area

I have tried to post this twice to the official bug report page, but (somewhat hilariously) the bug report page bounces it back with an internal error about an unknown email address, so I'm posting here too just in case. As I have no idea how to report a bug about the bug report page, I decided I might as well just post the bug here.
CS5.5/Windows 7 - Verified on 6 different machines, some 64 bit, some 32 bit
If I have a layer in the timeline that has been expanded to 200% or 300% (via Layer Properties) height, the bottom-most layers gets pushed outside of the viewable area. The scrollbars simply don't scroll that far. I double-checked and this is new since CS4--which still works correctly--so never let it be said that the engineers aren't working on the code! :-/
Basically, I use this for audio layers, as it is nice to expand them to 200% so it's easier to see the waveform and guess where certain words are ending, etc when doing timeline syncing.
It can be worked around by expanding the timeline to be tall enough to bring everything into view, so I suspect the bug lies in the scrollable area calculation. However, since space is at a premium, usually I only have about 5-6 layers worth of space allocated to the timeline panel, so this bug hits me quite frequently (since I have all my old projects set up with 200% audio tracks).

I have the same soundcard (or at least the same modules loaded) and I'm getting good volume.
Things to check:
If you have the pcm and main volume all the way up in alsa mixer that should be it. You may have to adjust the volume separately if you use esd, arts, pulse, or jack (I don't use them).
Another thing to test is to make sure your using alsa not oss, and you may want to raise the oss level and see what happens.
The final thing is you want to check to see which sound device the audio programs are using (usually found in the preferences).
If none of that works, then you're out of luck. It would help if you post what sound programs you are using and what sound daemons you are using.
Here is my Daemons line from /etc/rc.conf
DAEMONS=(@syslog-ng @network @netfs @crond @alsa @hal @fam)
So i would think im using alsa not oss. but how would i go about raising the oss to make sure? there is no "oss" option in alsamixer. I have tried just abuot every audio progream there is and even firefox, all of them produce about half of the maximum volume level.

Create an image with 100% height?

Hi,
I am working on a project and require an image to stretch to
the full height of the table cell.
The width will be fixed at 40 pixels, but I require the
height to always be 100% of the cell.
I have tried simply adding the height tag as 100%, but this
proves inconsistent in various browsers.Is there a way in which I
can achieve this, so it will work consistently on all browsers and
platforms?
Many thanks

Make it a background image and let it tile to fill the space.
Or just use
an HTML color background.

Problem with 100% height

I'm having a problem trying to get the LEFT and RIGHT DIV
tags to drop down 100% along with the CENTER DIV tag. I don't want
to use javascript. In all browser, except IE6, the DIV tags will
fill 100% of the document window, but will not extend down when the
page scrolls down. In IE6, the DIV tags will not fill 100% at all.

Report Formatting with Dynamic Height Header/Footer

I need to generate a printable report (pdf if possible) with a:
1) Header - Dynamic Height based on recordset output
2) Body - Recordset output, may carry over to multiple pages
3) Footer - Dynamic Height based on recordset out
In short, the whole page is dynamic- The header and footer need to be on every page and whatever height is left over to fit within the print area goes to the body and the line item output of each record (think invoice). Then the number of pages will depend on how long it takes to output the body recordset (but the header and footer MUST be on each page).
I have been trying to get this to work using cfdocument since CF7 and have never had any luck. It has not worked due to the reason that since the header and footer are dynamic height, I do not have any way to set the margins properly on page generation (so it shrinks the header or leaves excess whitespace).
Anyone recommend the best way to go about this? I have heard about the report builder and am not sure if that will fit these requirements. I appreciate any assistance!

When the footer goes to the 2nd page the page subform is incremented so you will have to reference the page subform as well. I suggest that you add a button (this is for a test only) to the footer subform and add the code app.alert(this.somExpression). Now render the form and make sure the footer stays on one page. Hit the button and take note of the someExpression. Now add enough rows to force the footer to a new page. Hit th ebutton again and take note of the changed somExpression. So to solve your problem you will have to find out which page your footer is on. and then construct your expression to incorporate this chane in expression. Note that the indexes are 0 based but the page numbering is 1 based.
Hope that helps

Multiple Report Regions with same height?

Dear forum members,
I have a page containing 4 report regions arranged in a 2x2 matrix. Each region should show 10 rows using pagination.
And I want them to have same width and height.
No problem to let them have the same width...
But how may I tell my regions to have the same height (that is the same like showing 10 rows would be), even, if there is no data found by one of the source queries?
Any comments welcome!
Best regards,
Johann

Hi,
You need to wrap your report in a DIV tag. I have done that here: [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=267:28]
In each region's Region Header setting, put:
<div style="height:200px">and in the Region Footer setting, put:
</div>Andy

WinRT bug report - ListView with large dataset being clipped

I think I've found a bug in the Windows store (WinRT 8.1) version of the ListView (I've not tried on windows phone).
When I create a page with a ListView and bind it to an ItemsSource with many items I find that as I start to scroll through these items the rendered ListViewItems will suddenly disappear as if they are hidden behind another control.
I have created a simple example to demonstrate the issue. Create a blank Universal app and replace the contents of the MainPage.xaml and MainPage.xaml.cs of the Win8 app with the code below. Build and run the code and use the mouse to drag the
scrollbar handle down to item 41351 and you will see that all items after that are not displayed.
This looks like a bug to me but what does everyone else think?
Does anyone know of a work-around?

I've noticed an annoying feature of the WinRT ListView and I've created a simple example to demonstrate the problem.
With the ListView I'm experiencing unwanted clipping where a lot of items are displayed. In the following example the ListView works fine on the first 41350 items but after that you cannot see them. They still seem to be there because you can
move the focus using the cursor keys, but you just cannot see them.
Does anyone know why this happens and if there's a work around or fix for it?

100% height DIV in Safari

This seems to be something that others have taken note of,
but I have not seen a straightforward solution to. I have heard
that 100% height is not a W3 convention, but firefox and netscape
are displaying it properly (have not tested in IE yet since I am on
a Mac). So what do I do to make this work? I am trying to do a left
nav bar that is always 100% of the height of the page (not just the
content within it!).
Thanks!

It's not possible to reliably force an element to the full
height of the
page. I believe Osgood suggested that you try a "faux column"
approach....

BUG: Changing "alpha" with AS breaks other property changes on timeline

I've discovered a bug in AS3 where a Movie Clip that spans 2 different frames, but its properties are different in each frame (i.e. it has been repositioned on the 2nd frame but the instance name is the same), and the MC's alpha is changed using ActionScript prior to moving the timeline from one frame to the other, the timeline moves, but the MC does NOT actually move.
I'm experiencing this error in a professional project that I'm working on so I cannot post the actual FLA, but here is a little mock up that I made:
stop()
currentFrameTxt.text = currentLabel
var alphaChange:Number = .1
var alphaMax:Number = 1
var alphaMin:Number = 0
alphaUpBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, alphaUp)
function alphaUp(evt:MouseEvent) {
    box.alpha += alphaChange
    if (box.alpha > alphaMax) {
        box.alpha = alphaMax
alphaDownBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, alphaDown)
function alphaDown(evt:MouseEvent) {
    box.alpha -= alphaChange
    if (box.alpha < alphaMin) {
        box.alpha = alphaMin
leftBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoLeft)
function gotoLeft(evt:MouseEvent) {
    if (currentLabel != "left") {
        gotoAndStop("left")
    currentFrameTxt.text = currentLabel
rightBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoRight)
function gotoRight(evt:MouseEvent) {
    if (currentLabel != "right") {
        gotoAndStop("right")
    currentFrameTxt.text = currentLabel
On Frame 1 (labeled "left") is an MC with the instance name "box" and the box's position is on the left side of the stage. On Frame 11 (labeled "right") is the same instance "box", but its position has been moved to the right side of the stage.
I have a pair of buttons ('leftBtn" and "rightBtn") that toggle the timeline between the "left" frame and the "right" frame.
I also have a pair of buttons ("alphaUpBtn" and "alphaDownBtn") that change the box's "alpha" property.
If you click "leftBtn" or "rightBtn" before you click the "alphaUp" or "alphaDown" buttons, the box moves left or right as one would expect. BUT if you click either "alphaUpBtn" or "alphaDownBtn", the box does NOT move if you then click "leftBtn" or "rightBtn" even though the timeline is indeed moving (which I am confirming using the "currentFrameTxt" dynamic text box).
I have tried this example by changing other properties on the 2 frames and they too stop working once you change the "alpha" using AS. I have also tried change other propeties using AS, but alpha is the only property to breaks the other properties changed by moving the timeline.
Why would changing the "alpha" property suddenly break all other property changes on the timeline?
Now I know that one work-around for this bug is to simply change the box's position dynamically by setting the x and y positions, but this is NOT an option for this project because it is very important that the client be able to manually position the artwork on each frame by hand.
This is a serious bug and I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered it before and if they know of a viable workaround.

I did some more testing by changing other properties of the box with AS and it appears that for most properties, like alpha, x, y, rotation, width, height, etc, if they are changed with AS, then the properties of the MC can no longer be changed by the timeline settings. Changing the "visible" property has no effect, however.
It seems that this "bug" is not really bug so much as it is a fundamental misunderstanding on my part about the fact that you CANNOT change the properties of a symbol using BOTH ActionScript and timeline properties. I can only change the properties of using either the timeline OR ActionScript because as soon as I change the properties using AS, the MC becomes an AS-controlled object and can no longer be controlled via the timeline. I guess that makes sense, but it is frustrating nonetheless.
Colin, your suggestion to nest the MC inside another MC is indeed a successful workaround, at least for this little box example (see fixed FLA attached with the "left" and "right" timeline property changes nested inside the box itself) and I will see if it is a viable solution for my actual application. I'm guessing it will not be a problem for my client to simply navigate inside a parent MC in order to adjust the positions of the now-nested MC in question.
Thanks for the help.

Bug report: Naming a Bin after creating it with drag'n'drop

There seems to be a small bug when giving a newly created bin a name after creating it by drag'n'drop of several clips onto the "New Bin" icon.
To reproduce:
Select some clips in your project browser
Drag them onto the New Bin button
A new bin is created with the clips in it
- the bin name for it appears to be selected, and editable - just as if you had created a new empty bin by clicking the New Bin button
- type in a new name - it accepts the name fine, now press enter.
- your new name disappears, and *now* you are really in the mode to edit the bin name
- type your name again, and it works.
Work around:
When creating new bins by using drag'n'drop of clips onto the New Bin button, first press enter once to enter into the proper edit mode before giving the bin a new name.
(is there a better place to file bug reports?)

Bug report: A keyboard layout is incorrect on the remote with Japanese keyboard

This is a bug report for Microst Remote Desktop
===================================================
## Summary
A keyboard layout is incorrect on the remote with Japanese keyboard
## Version Information, I tested
* Client
   * Case 1
       * MacBook Pro with JIS106 Keyboard
       * Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
       * Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0.24308
   * Case 2
       * MacBook Pro with JIS106 Keyboard
       * Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.1
       * Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0.24308
* Remote
   * Case 1
       * Windows 7 Professional Japanese
   * Case 2
       * Windows Server 2008R2 Datacenter Japanese
   * Case 3
       * Windows Server 2012R2 Datacenter Japanese
## Detail of bug
When login from Mac OS X with Microsoft Remote Desktop, the keyboard layout is always incorrect on the remote.
The client machine have a built-in keyboard of JIS 106 layout,
and the primary language is set to Japanese.
But on the remote, the keyboard layout is US 101.
So a input of Shift+2 does not result " but @.
I've seen the above behavior on the 3 remote enviornments described the above.
This bug did not occcur with Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac 2.1.1, even if the system language is English and keyboard layout is Japanese.
## Captures
I've took some of screen captures.
I'm sorry for the capture includes Japanese words, so I added description in English.
Capture 1:
Mac OS X Keyboard Setting
Capture 2:
Windows Server 2012R2 Screen Keyboard
Capture 3:
Windows Server 2012R2 Screen Keyboard, with a additional registry key configured.

This bug also affects the Canadian English settings. If the client is set to Canadian English with a US keyboard the remote server is setup using a Canadian French keyboard. Using the language selection in the toolbar you can temporarily correct
the problem but the keyboard resets to french at the most inopportune times. The was a problem in the earlier RDP client and was fixed so it's sad to see it reoccur in the new client.

Bug report: A keyboard layout is incorrect on the remote with Hungarian and other "exotic" keyboard layouts

This is a bug report for Microst Remote Desktop
===================================================
## Summary
A keyboard layout is incorrect on the remote with Hungarian keyboard
## Version Information, I tested
* Client
   * Case 1
       * MacBook Pro with HU101 Keyboard
* Locale: Hungarian
       * Mac OS X Maverics 10.9.2
       * Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0.6
* Remote
   * Case 1
       * Windows Server 2003 R2 (English)
   * Case 2
       * Windows Server 2008 R2 (English)
   * Case 3
       * Windows 8.1 (Hungarian)
## Detail of bug
When I connect to the listed remotes the client sets the keyboard layout to Latvian which is a completely different layout than Hungarian (not even close...).
- On Windows 8 if I set the language on the login screen it stays on that language after the login.
- On Windows Server 2003R2 and 2008R2 even if I set the language at login it will switch back to LV after the login.
## Attachments
Unfortunately cannot include my shots because I'm not allowed to do this...
## End of report
Please allow the users to set the correct "target" language on connection basis because the automatic method the app use to determine that is unreliable.

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback.
I will forward this to the product team.
Thanks.
