Bug report: Theme 9 current tab

The One Level Tabs page template for Theme 9 (Underlined tabs) has the following in Standard Tab Attributes/Current Tab
< td> < /td> < td> < table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" summary="">
< tr> < td> < a href="f?p=&APP_ID.:&APP_PAGE_ID.:&SESSION." class="t9tabCurrent"> < div class="t9tabCurrent"> #TAB_LABEL#< /div> < /a> #TAB_INLINE_EDIT#< /td> < /tr>
< tr> < td> < a href="f?p=&APP_ID.:&APP_PAGE_ID.:&SESSION."> < img width="110" height="8" src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#themes/theme_9/red.gif" alt="" /> < /a> < /td> < /tr> < /table> < /td> This is not right.
Lets say I have a tab associated with Page 10 and it also current for Page 11. I navigate to Page 11. Now I want to go back to Page 10. I click on the Page 10 tab at the top of the page. But as you can see above, that just redirects back to the same page!
Is there a workaround?
Thanks

Silly me, the workaround is just to do href="#TAB_LINK#" for the current tab template.
Hopefully this bug will be fixed in the next release so that the workaround will not be necessary.
Thanks

Bug report: Theme 13 ie.css file missing

[Fri Oct 27 14:03:51 2006] [error] [client xx.xx.xx.xx] [ecid: 1161972231:172.18.1.15:21106:0:483,0] File does not exist: /opt/oracle/product/10.1.0/Apache/Apache/images/themes/theme_13/ie.css
This seems to come from the following line in the One Level Tabs page template
Conditional CSS just for IE! Horror of horrors, what's next?!
Can someone please shed some light on why this is needed and if so, post that ie.css file on Metalink or something?
Thanks

Hello,
Just remove the offending link. The link should not be there and is not needed for theme 13.

Current Tab Image bug?

Hi,
I tried to used Image tab for my page and I put "#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#tab01_off.gif" in the Current Tab Image.
But when the page generate, I found out it will auto prefix the img src with /i/ and become /i/wwv_flow_file_mgr.get_file?p_security_group_id=1037921554244471&p_fname=tab01_on.gif, and the image couldn't be displayed.
Is that a bug in Apex?
Thanks

Hi,
Yes, I think it is a bug - at least is was as of last year, see: Re: Changing the theme of certain tabs (but not all) On that thread I offer a workaround which involves changing how tabs are rendered - I don't know if you want to go that far, but it may be your only solution for now?

BUGS: Theme 17 Tabs

I've come across a couple of problems with theme 17 (Greyscale).
I started investigating a rendering problem with theme 17 tabs in Webkit-based browsers.
I haven't yet figured out why Webkit is computing the height of the tab <div>s differently to other browsers. Obviously happy to hear from anyone who's figured this out.
However the 2-level tab page template contains an HTML error in that the wrapper <div>s for the parent and child tabs are both assigned the id attribute value "t17Tabs", when ids must be unique within a document:
<div id="t17Tabs">#PARENT_TAB_CELLS#</div><div id="t17Tabs">#TAB_CELLS#</div>Themes normally use another "t17ChildTabs" or suchlike ids with 2-level tabs, but as well as being missing from the page template, there is no such selector referenced in the theme 17 CSS. This leads me to think that identical treatment of both tab levels is intended, and "t17Tabs" should be a class attribute not an id?

Removed link to example application as it is no longer relevant.

Finally found some time to look at this again.
1. The Webkit browser problem is due to the following CSS rule:
.t17CurrentTab, .t17Tab { display: -moz-inline-box; }which is in the main /theme_17/theme_3_1.css CSS file, and of course is only recognised by Mozilla browsers. The following rule is in the IE-only /theme_17/ie.css CSS file hidden from other browsers in a conditional comment so is only applied to IE.:
.t17CurrentTab { display: inline-block; }
.t17Tab { display: inline-block; }So the fix to display tabs properly in Safari and Chrome (and Opera for that matter) is to change the rule in theme_17/theme_3_1.css (or elsewhere) to:
.t17CurrentTab, .t17Tab {
display: -moz-inline-box;
display: inline-block;
}which works with all browsers as FF 3+ now also supports inline-block (and the original property still works in FF2). This also actually makes the IE-only CSS superfluous at the present time as the above are the only rules in it.
2. The duplicate t17Tabs ID issue obviously remains, so I've changed my local templates to have class="t17Tabs" instead and supplied the required CSS:
.t17Tabs {
border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
text-align: left;
white-space:nowrap;

This was fixed as bug 8527710 in the APEX 3.2.1 patch set. However, this theme 17 "Greyscale" as replaced by a completely different theme 17 "Sapphire" in APEX 4.0, rendering this bug (and workaround) of historical interest only.

Where can i find the option of, when i close firefox that he saves my current tabs and when i open my firefox i will still have them?

Where can i find the option of, when i close firefox that he saves my current tabs and when i open my firefox i will still have them?

Firefox 4 and later versions save the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows or otherwise have problems with restoring tabs.<br />
You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History.<br />
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.
Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting is a more reliable way to restore session data.

Bookmark Toolbar buttons open new tabs - how do I get them to open bookmark in current tab?

I've got the bookmark toolbar with buttons for all my bookmark links. However, when I click on one, it opens the page in a new tab. I would like those bookmark buttons to open in the current tab.

Right-click on the bookmark button. Depending on any add-ins you have, the context menu may offer you a range of options e.g. Open (in existing tab), Open in New Tab, Open in New window, etc
Try the Tab Mix Plus add-in.

Are extension developers allowed to keep only favorable reviews by claiming negative reviews of their product are "misplaced bug reports" and deleting them?

Twice Georgio Maone deleted my negative, 1-star reviews about NoScript, claiming they were "misplaced bug reports." Is this acceptable Mozilla practice for developers to keep their ratings high by deleting low ratings?

I have found that everything on Mozilla is subject to censorship and lots of it. If they dont like what you say then either your account will be disabled or the comment will be removed or both.

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.

A Bug in "Print Attributes" tab in IR?

Project Environment:
Database: Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.6.0 - Production
Apex : Application Express 3.1.1.00.09
Also....: apex.oracle.com
Problem scenario:
I created an Interactive Reports (IR) in my project and tried to configure the "Download" PDF. It worked fine on "Classic Report". But for IR, it never worked. I'm facing multiple problems. They are:
A. PDF report is blank.
B. Sometime Acrobat Reader says "could not open <file name> because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged...)"
When open the same file in a text editor, I can see the following:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
ORA-06512: at "FLOWS_030100.WWV_FLOW_RENDER_QUERY", line 636
ORA-06503: PL/SQL: Function returned without value
I then thought I could be missing something in the config. So wanted to create a sample IR in apex.oracle.com and see what happens. The following is the result:
Notes:
A. Please use IE to test this. Also untick "Disable script debugging (Internet Explorer)" from "Tools->Internet Options->Advanced". It works ok in Firefox, I believe.
B. You can simulate this in apex.oracle.com (at least I was able to!!)
Steps:
1. Create an IR as normal. Say, App ID=46305, Page ID=6 and Region Name=Sample Interactive Report. Dont configure the "Print" settings yet.
2. Once done and tested to see if it works ok.
3. Now open Page (6) where you have the IR and click on the name, i.e. "Sample Interactive Report".
4. We get "Edit Region" page with three tabs:
a. Region Definition (current tab)
b. Report Attributes
c. Print Attributes
5. Click "Print Attributes" tab
6. Because the "Disable" flag is unticked (as per the note above), this will pop-up an error message:
A Runtime Error has occurred.
Do you wish to Debug?
Line: 1
Error: Object required.
7. You can choose "No" to ignore it. But I tried "Yes" to see what the error is. The error is in the line:
document.getElementById('P774_PRINT_FORMAT').value!='%null%'
Clearly it is going to P774 and doesn't find P774_PRINT_FORMAT field and so the error. Is there a fix? How come it is not giving error in Firefox? Or should I enable / disable something in Firefox o get this error? And the most importantly how to avoid this error?
8. Further on... if you go into "Report Attributes" and click the edit button on one of columns and then click "Print Attributes" tab, it goes to P960 and no errors!!
9. Why does "Print Attributes" links from the main tabs (Report Definition and Report Attributes) go to P774 and from "Dynamic Query Attributes" goes to P960?
10. Also, In P960, the "Report Columns" section says "Report returned no rows.". Is this normal in IR?
Ultimately, although I can configure my Apex to use "BI Publisher" installation to create my PDF outputs from "Classic Reports", I couldn't do from IR.
Seeking Answers For:
1. Why PDF output of the IR report produces 0k file (and so blank report) when the screen displays records? This is common in my project as well as in apex.oracle.com. What am I missing?
2. How to get rid of "ORA-06512: at "FLOWS_030100.WWV_FLOW_RENDER_QUERY", line 636"?
3. Is there patch for this conflict between links accessing the "Print Attributes" pages (P774 and P960) as explained in the "Steps" above.

Hello,
The error
2. How to get rid of "ORA-06512: at"FLOWS_030100.WWV_FLOW_RENDER_QUERY", line 636"?you can also find in the new features application. I wrote a post about that some days ago:
Bug in New Features Application?
Had some trouble to get the PDF print working, too. Printing works fine for standard reports, but for interactive report I am not able to get it working. Sometimes I am getting only blank pages (and no file) and sometimes I am getting PDF's which just contain an internal 500 error. Some details are in this thread: Print Interactive Reports does not work
Maybe that's related to the error of kkkannan74.

The new Synaptics UltraNav: a few workarounds and minor bug report.

I only wanted to file bug report, but then decided to also share what I did with my touchpad configuration to make it more convenient for me. I have Thinkpad T540p so this might work differently or not work at all for other notebooks.
#1 Regedit
Configure as much as you can using UltraNav tab in mouse settings dialog. (It is mostly self-explanatory.)
If you didn't find some option, start regedit (using Win+R) and navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Synaptics\SynTP\something
This something is TouchPadSMB2c on T540p but you can find one you need by changing something in settings dialog and looking for changed values in regedit.
All the touchpad configuration registry keys are there. You need to relogin to apply changes made there.
But it might take a lot of trial and error to find out how these registry keys work.
#2 3-finger tap
As for me, I prefer tapping over clicking. While 3-finger press option is in settings dialog, 3-finger tap is not. But you can change it.
Set whatever option you want for 3-finger press. Then go to regedit and copy value from 3FingerPressButtonAction key to 3FingerTapAction.
#3 Button sizes and locations
You can change button bounds with keys like LeftButtonZoneX where X is L for left, R for right, T for top and B for bottom bounds. 0xFFFFFFFF ultimately means "unlimited in that direction". For finding other values defaults might be helpful. Trackpoint buttons keys are SlaveSomeButtonZoneX.
What for?
First, trackpoint buttons can cover the whole trackpad only when trackpad itself is disabled. By changing button sizes manually you can overcome this restriction. It is useful because trackpad does not respond well to pressing corners and when buttons cover it all you can press it somewhere in the middle.
Second, the same corner pressing problem exists for normal trackpad buttons so it is more convenient to use multi-finger taps or clicks. You can still hold trackpad pressed with one finger and use yet another finger to move mouse pointer.
At the same time when you tap or press with multiple fingers and one of them touches one of the buttons you get that button pressed instead of whatever you intended. It frustrated me a lot when I got context menu popups while trying to close chrome tabs with middle mouse button click. The solution is to set top bounds for left and right buttons to zero.
BUG (With the latest UltraNav drivers from support page)
When the middle trackpoint button (used for scrolling) is enabled, it is always enabled, no matter if you are using trackpont or touchpad. Left and right trackpoint buttons are properly disabled when you don't need them.
Even if you disable trackpoint completely without disabling that middle button first, it will remain enabled and will do nothing. (Blocking single- and multi-finger presses that touch it.)
I could not find a way to fix that problem with regedit.

Any problem can get official response and follow-up through a SR on Metalink/MOS (if you have a DB support contract), else you can post here and hope someone from development picks it up.
Regards,
K.

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:

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.

Bug Report - Some items in your iTunes Library ... because the file could not be found.

10.6 and this is still this is a problem?!?!?!?!
Not like this is an obscure issue only affecting a few noobs. Google returns 11,200 results on this issue!t'
Can we PLEASE at least allow the list of broken files to be dumped as a text file so I can find them manually! guess not,
I'll just have to get out a pencil and write down 100 songs to spend my saturday looking up and fixing. Or I could let my wife purchase 100 songs she already has whenever this comes up...
What's really infurating is that non-technical wife thinks this means she must go to the iTunes store and buy them again. Is it just coincidence that this only happens to songs that we ripped from the CD with iTunes? Hmmmm?....
what follows is for the programmers, please make sure this get's to the development group.
iTunes is the only music library manager, Media player was not even activated.
iTunes is configured to "Keep folder organized", "Copy files to folder when adding"
this has been a recurring issue since iTunes 9.x for us
The issue is persisted accross system and library rebuilds.
some of the same songs recurr but most of the time the list differs.
Library survived transfer to new computer and back for a system rebuild (new hdd) w/o this issue.
I'm guessing 100 songs is an arbitrary limit for error reporting.
Songs seem to get lost for the following reasons.
Track number added to filename
Spelling of some tags like Album, Artist, Title differ in iTunes library and the file path !!!!
Only seems to happen to mp3 files.
My suspicion is that iTunes is downloading meta data from the store and updating the mp3 tags and iTunes Music Library.xml then predicting the new file location without actually moving the file to that new location. I've enabled insert/update auditing on the NTFS folder to see if that provided any new info. I'm also capturing iTunes Music Library.xml so I can compare it to the new one WHEN this happens again and see if there is a pattern there.
Would love a bug number and feedback chanel on this.

The missing file thing happens when files are no longer where iTunes expects to find them. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the files, or that the drive they live on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files in a relatively sensible structure, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .
Although you say you haven't used Media Player it can be raised as a background process by visiting enabled web sites. Possibly worth you reviewing this post: Getting iTunes & Windows Media Player to play nicely

Unlike Windows Media player iTunes doesn't have a feature to automatically update tag data, although it will sometimes spot when a 3rd party program has (say during playback) and then update its own copy of the data. The iTunes (Music) Library xml file is provided for querying by third party software and is rewritten every time there is a change to the library, but is otherwise of no relevance to iTunes. The library is maintained in the iTunes Library.itl file. I suppose what could be happening is that iTunes issues a command to the file system to move a file based upon its tag, updates its knowledge of where the file is supposed to be, but the OS fails to move the file for some reason. Alternatively everything could go as planned, but iTunes could fail to get the updated copy of the library written out to disk so next time you start you get the previously stored locations.
I have ideas of my own about the best way to organise my media, but I'm quite familiar with the way iTunes does it. It might be interesting to see the details of one of the broken tracks, the path iTunes thinks it is at, and the actual path, in case there is anything that can be deduced.
Apple don't run an open bug tracking system so you won't be able to follow reports/progress based on a bug number. You can drop a line to iTunes Feedback or get a free Apple Developer account and submit a bug report report there.

ITunes for Windows 7.0.1.8 bug report

Do Apple employees actually read these forums? Is there some other (e.g. better) way for me to submit substantive iTunes bug reports to them?
I've noticed a bug in iTunes for Windows, spanning both versions 6 and 7. I'm currently using 7.0.1.8 and the bug still manifests there. My iPod is a 60GB photo model, firmware version 1.2.1 (which is the latest available). This bug is reproducible on multiple PCs (by ripping the same CDs to two different iTunes installations on two different PCs), so it is definitely not a misconfiguration
issue or a fouled up OS install or faulty PC hardware.
If a song's artist field contains an ampersand character, then when the song is uploaded to the iPod, that artist entry does not appear at all in the "Artists" menu on the iPod itself. I have this problem with songs by "Korn & The Dust Brothers" and by "Larry Graham & Graham Central Station". Due to this bug, it's not possible to locate these songs by artist using the iPod's UI, even though the songs are indeed present on the iPod and can be accessed by album title.
This bug is extremely obnoxious and needs to be fixed ASAP. Thanks.

Apparently the songs I was having trouble with just happened to be flagged (in "Get Info") as belonging to a compilation, and my iPod was set to "Compilations: On".
I've never used the Compilations feature and I didn't understand how it worked. Apparently, any song that belongs to a compilation won't show up under the "Artists" view but will instead show up only under the "Compilations" view on the iPod (if "Compilations: On" is set in the iPod's UI).
The Compilations feature isn't designed or explained very clearly anywhere, so I'm sure I'm not the only person who has been confused by its behavior. Especially since I never manually turned the feature on or manually set any songs I ripped as belonging to any compilations. I hope Apple will do something in future iTunes releases to alleviate that confusion.
