Calendar Bug Report

Hi,
First of all, I love my Pre! Thanks Palm. You guys are doing awesome. Just wanted to post a couple bugs I've noticed in the Calendar app when syncing with Google Calendar. Nothing huge, but still bugs:
(1) It appears that the phone sometimes misunderstands repeat settings on Google Calendar. When deleting a single event from a repeat on either the site or the phone, the change sometimes never syncs. "Delete all future occurrances" on the site is frequently not noticed by the phone. Wish I knew more about why this one happens so I could be more helpful!
(2) When traveling to any time zone west of your home location, the Pre begins displaying "All Day" events one day earlier than they actually occur. Perhaps the app uses the start time to select the day to display on?
That's all. Let me know if there's a better place to post these (or if there's something I might have configured wrong that could be causing them). Thanks!
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Similar issue on a 3GS with iOS5. I found that this issue was related to an Exchange event that had been cancelled. Removing the event stabilized the notifications screen. Waiting to see if it improves the abominable battery life - I am recharging twice a day.

Bug Report (reproducible) - Adding an appointment to Google Calendar causes Pre to display a blank calendar.

I have been able to reproduce an important bug on the Pre (webOS 1.0.2). I didn't see a way to submit an official bug report, so I'm posting it here.
Step 1: Import the following ical file into a Google calendar: http://www.halfwayproductions.com/test.ics
Step 2: Sync the Google calendar to your Pre
Step 3: Your Pre calendar appears completely blank!
It's worth noting that this file doesn't import correctly into Google calendar. Google gets the repeat wrong and puts the appointment at the wrong time. However, this shouldn't cause the Pre to display a blank calendar!

I confirmed that a meeting location with an apostrophe causes the event to not sync to Google Calendar. Interesting enough, I created an event on Google Calendar with an apostrophe in the location and it sync'd to my Pre, without causing the calendar to go blank. BTW, I'm on 1.1.0.
This seems like it would be a very common occurance as many meetings or appointments could possibly contain apostrophes in the location (Joe's office, Dr's office, Arthur's Tavern, etc). It leaves me with little confidence of what is on the Pre and what is in my Google Calendar, as there could be other issues causing events not to sync, and they are obviously not "in sync." Is anyone looking into a fix for this? (Is Palm or Google listening?) In the mean time, is there any way to get a log of events that did not sync, as opposed to blindly assuming everything was uploaded fine?

Some of these are known occurrences and I believe have been logged into the Palm SW database. Symbols had also been causing Facebook contacts to not sync properly as well. I don't know if getting a log of events that do not sync is possible at this time. However, if a user could post characters and their entry points that are known anomalies that cause the errors, that'd be useful.

Calendar bug - half-year view glitch - Z10 10.2.1

BB10 calendar app's half-year view display has a bug that seems pretty disturbing because it is so basic:
1) Open calendar to month view (this is my default)
2) Swipe the content pane down to reveal the half-year view
3) Tap the current month - this dismisses the half-year view and takes you to the month view
4) Swipe the content pane down again to reveal the half-year view, then swipe right to view the prior half-year, then swipe left to get back to the current half-year.
The dates shown for the current month in the half-year view will be shifted.
I noticed this bug in April 2014. The 1st of the month fell on a Tuesday. But after doing the above described swipe sequence, the dates shown for just April, in the half-year view, are shifted forward, so that it incorrectly shows April 1 as falling on a Wednesday. As I'm reporting this on April 30, it's unlikely to get reviewed by someone at BlackBerry in April, and I didn't try re-setting my device date to different months to see if the bug manifests for months other than April. So, if a BlackBerry reviewer is going over this bug report later this year and cannot get the bug to manifest, they should re-set their device date to some date in April 2014. However, as they investigate the bug, they should probably try to get it to manifest in other months, and maybe also in a leap year.
Note that if you do two right swipes in the half-year view, to go back to the prior year, then do two left swipes to again get back to the current year, the dates for the current month then line up correctly.
A bug like this really makes me lose trust in my calendar (a calendar is not a new research problem in software development, so if this is broken, what else is broken?)
Device/OS details:
STL100-3
Software release: 10.2.1.2156
OS Version: 10.2.1.2228

Confirmed that the same bad behavior is there now that the calendar has rolled forward to May.
Like I said this raises the question of what else is broken in the basic functionality of an essential app.
BlackBerry folks reading this - hope to you see you reproduce the bug, and acknowledge ingestion of a bug report into your internal bug tracking system, for priority fix on next OS release.
Others reading this, if you reproduce the bug (should be easy) - please add comments as you see fit, to get BlackBerry's attention on this one.

Calendar bug with Office 365 for Education (exchange accounts)

I have an Office 365 Exchange account provided by my University. When I add the account to my Mac, Mail.app and Contacts.app work perfectly. However I receive an error message in Calendar which states that “Calendar needs a valid email address to connect” to my account. The address is clearly valid since it is working in Mail and Contacts. Furthermore, this account works perfectly in iOS Mail, Contacts, and Calendar. The issue is only with Calendar in OS X. Upon researching online, it appears that this issue will occur on Macs if the account is hidden on the Exchange Global Address List (which is true for my account). Below are a few additional points that are related to this bug:
1. iOS connects to Exchange through ActiveSync which is why I don't see the issue on iOS devices.
2. OS X connects to Exchange through Exchange Web Services (EWS). OS X supports EWS for Calendar syncing only when a users name is listed on the Global Address List. If the account is hidden (and they usually are for Office 365 educational accounts at Universities complying with FERPA laws) then Calendar.app cannot connect and sync the users calendar. I am not sure if this is by-design or a bug.
3. The third-party Mac app 'BusyCal 2' also uses EWS to connect to Exchange and it will work regardless of the visibility of the user's account on the GAL.
This has led me to two conclusions: Either (1) Apple has a bug in Calendar.app, or (2) the bug is in EWS and Busycal 2 is forcing some sort of work-around. It's likely that Apple and Microsoft will need to work together to fix the issue. I've attempted submitting a bug report to Apple but I have no way to contact Microsoft since I am not an admin for the Office 365 plan that my school uses. I would need to go through my admins but they don't seem to care much about this issue. So pretty much I'm left helpless at this point :/
Does my analysis seem valid or does anyone else have any points to contribute? I would appreciate the assistance

Hi,
There are two ways to share read access to your calendar on premise to Office 365. The method you choose depends on your requirements and the level of access that you want to give to the calendars. But providing write access to the calendar is not possible
in a Cross-Premise scenario.
For more information, here is a blog for your reference.

Solaris8 and 9 (possibly 7) /dev/poll driver bug report.

Hello,
I'd like to report a bug in the solaris 8 and 9 /dev/poll driver (poll(7d)).
As i do not have a support account with sun or anything like that, there
seems to be no other way to do that here (which is of course a very sad
thing).
Bug details:
The /dev/poll device provides an ioctl-request (DP_ISPOLLED) for checking
if a particular filedescriptor is currently in the set of monitored
filedescriptors for that particular /dev/poll fd set (open /dev/poll fd).
A quote from the documentation of the poll(7d) manual page taken from
Solaris9:
"DP_ISPOLLED ioctl allows you to query if a file descriptor is already in
the monitored set represented by fd. The fd field of the pollfd structure
indicates the file descriptor of interest. The DP_ISPOLLED ioctl returns 1
if the file descriptor is in the set. The events field contains the
currently polled events. The revents field contains 0. The ioctl returns 0
if the file descriptor is not in the set. The pollfd structure pointed by
pfd is not modified. The ioctl returns a -1 if the call fails."
It says that when you query for an filedescriptor which is currently being
monitored in the set, that it would return 1, and change the events field of
the pollfd structure to the events it's currently monitoring that fd for.
The revents field would be set to zero.
However the only thing which actually happens here, is that FD_ISPOLLED
returns 1 when the fd is in the set and 0 if not. When the fd is in the
set, when FD_ISPOLLED returns 1, the events field remains unmodified, but
the revents field gets changed.
A small sample code to illustrate:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/devpoll.h>
main() {
struct pollfd a;
int dp_fd = open("/dev/poll", O_WRONLY);
a.fd = 0; /* stdin */
a.events = POLLIN; /* we monitor for readability, POLLIN=1 */
a.revents = 0;
write(dp_fd, &a, sizeof(a));
a.fd = 0;
a.events = 34; /* filled in with bogus number to show malfunctioning */
a.revents = 0;
printf("DP_ISPOLLED returns: %d\n", ioctl(dp_fd, DP_ISPOLLED, &a));
printf("a.fd=%d, a.events=%hd, a.revents=%hd\n", a.fd, a.events,
a.revents);
According to the documentation of /dev/poll and namely DP_ISPOLLED this
program is supposed to print the following:
DP_ISPOLLED returns: 1
a.fd=0, a.events=1, a.revents=0
However it prints the following:
DP_ISPOLLED returns: 1
a.fd=0, a.events=34, a.revents=1
You can take any number instead of '34' and it will simply remain untouched
after the DP_ISPOLLED ioctl-request.
I hope it's clear now that the solaris8 and solaris9 (and probably solaris7
with /dev/poll patch too) DP_ISPOLLED implementation is broken.
This bug is also easily illustrated by looking at the solaris8 kernel sourcecode:
<snippet osnet_volume/usr/src/uts/common/io/devpoll.c:dpioctl()>
case DP_ISPOLLED:
pollfd_t pollfd;
polldat_t *pdp;
if (pollfd.fd < 0) {
mutex_exit(&pcp->pc_lock);
break;
pdp = pcache_lookup_fd(pcp, pollfd.fd);
if ((pdp != NULL) && (pdp->pd_fd == pollfd.fd) &&
(pdp->pd_fp != NULL)) {
pollfd.revents = pdp->pd_events;
if (copyout(&pollfd, (caddr_t)arg,
sizeof(pollfd_t))) {
mutex_exit(&pcp->pc_lock);
DP_REFRELE(dpep);
return (set_errno(EFAULT));
*rvalp = 1;
</snippet>
its' clearly visible that the code writes the current monitored events to
the revents field:
'pollfd.revents = pdp->pd_events;'
and that it doesnt set revents to zero.
It's funny to see that this has been like this since Solaris8 (possibly 7). That means nobody ever used DP_ISPOLLED that way or people were simply to lazy to file a bug report.
Another funny thing related to this. is that Hewlett-Packard did seem to know about this. Since HP-UX11i version 1.6 they also support /dev/poll. From their manual page i ll quote some sentences from their WARNING session:
"The ioctl(DP_ISPOLLED) system call also returns its result in the revents member of the pollfd structure, in order to be compatible with the implementation of the /dev/poll driver by some other vendors."
Hopefully this will get fixed.
I also like to reexpress my very negative feelings towards the fact that you're not able to file bug reports when you do not have a support contract. Ridiculous.
Thanks,
bighawk

Have I mentioned how much i love my playbook now Great job on os 2.0

Did you know that Google toolbar doesn't work properly in FF rc1? I have filed a bug report to Google about this

The Google toolbar doesn't recognize a left mouse click when selecting a 'suggestion'. It's OK using the keyboard, however. I have filed a bug report with Google, but as this is an important extension thought you should know.

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: 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: 3.2; DAC; GridControl; Navigation - Invalid reaction to mouse drag

Hi,
This is a bug report, I think.
I have a one-column GridControl with mandatory column. Normally, DAC framework prohibits from navigation out of empty field and emits one of those DAC-1002 or DAC-603 errors. The only exception I noticed was a double-click on another row. In this case navigation allowed but an error is still produced.
Today I was playing with this GridControl and discovered that I can drag the yellow frame across rows. And here comes a bug - GridControl doesn't change the current row on InfoBus according to current selection marked by yellow frame.
In my case it brings the following problem: if the cursor is placed on the new empty row, user drags the cursor to another row and then tries to use any other navigation means except dragging, he gets a navigation error. DAC framework still thinks that the current row is the empty one and produces an error telling that the attribute cannot be empty.
Dev Team, any comments?
Regards,
Vladimir

Hmm... Nobody answers. I'll try another variation of the same question.
DAC framework implicitly validates attributes on the base of Mandatory constraint in the Entity Object definition. Is it possible to set the level of this validation? For example, I want to conduct validation only when user navigates out of the row or the whole rowset, but not when he just leaves a field.
Regards,
Vladimir

Bug report: vpn (ipsec) interface number in snmp always change

Hi,
this is a bug report for RV082 hardware version 3 and 4, firmware version 1.x, 2.x and 4.x (all latest versions). I hope someone from cisco/belkin reads it.
Summary:
The snmp interface number of a VPN Tunnel change when the VPN tunnel disconnect and then re-connects.
What should happend:
The VPN Tunnel number 1, should always have the same snmp interface number. In RV082 v4, this number should always be 10. For example, the LAN, WAN1 and WAN2 always have the same snmp interface number.
What is the problem:
The VPN Tunnel number 1 change the snmp interface number, from 10, to 11, to 12, etc.
How to reproduce:
create a VPN Tunnel using 2 RV082 or 1 RV082 and 1 RV042. Once the VPN Tunnel is connected write down the snmp interface number. A few days later, disconnect the cable of block internet access. Then restore the internet conection and write down the snmp interface number, you should note that the snmp interface number have changed.
Tools used:
PRTG Network Monitor
Please take a look at the attached image, note all the "ppp" interfaces, theres only 1 VPN Tunnel (gateway-to-gateway) defined.

Hi Tom,
many thanks for your reply.
I see that I have to call Tech-support, in order to report a very technical situation, explaining them this is a bug report and I want them to make a better product.
Since I won't pay a dime for this problem to be fixed, I can only see pain in this path(calling to speak with a tech support representative).
I also readed that Belkin has bought Linksys, so I don't know if the RV082 will remain with Cisco or will go with Belkin.
So, my only hope is to document this bug, that is pressent inall firmware version and hardware version of the RV082 as of today.
many thanks for your help,
regards,
Oliver

Bug Report: Shortcuts for Adjustments in 3.1

I have verified that bug with a brand new test account (Aperture 3.1 and OS 10.6.4 with latest Pro Update):
- Make an adjustment to an NEF-file
- save that adjustment as a preset
- assign a keyboard shortcut to that specific adjustment
Switch to the next NEF-file and make your usual adjustments:
- initiate that shortcut to apply the already saved preset/adjustment
All of a sudden, all already applied adjustments are set back to defaults!!!!
To sum up:
Shortcuts are presently not useable!
Bug Report was filed!
Any observations???

I got it myself. My shortcut combination contained the option key. That causes AP to replace any adjustments already made to the image. You have to use a keyboard short cut combination without the option key.
The question is, why AP 3.1 is not smart enough to refuse such a combination??? In version 3.0.x everything worked fine!!!

Bug report submitted re Input Mode affected by ACR 4.2 Mac - very annoying

Just submitted a bug report to Adobe. ACR 4.2, Photoshop 10, Tiger 10.4.10, PowerPC.
Most users in the US and the UK may not even run across this situation.
If you use a non US standard keyboard layout as your Input mode, causing ACR 4.2 to launch, either from Bridge, Photoshop, or the Finder, this switches the selected keyboard to the US standard. If you click the Cancel button in ACR, the keyboard reverts back to your custom keyboard layout; but if you click Open, the US standard keyboard remains set even after quitting Photoshop, ACR and Bridge.
It took me a while to figure out what was causing me to loose my preferred keyboard layout. It didn't dawn on me ACR 4.2 was doing it. Observing a few screen shots led me to discover the cause.
It's most annoying.

The choices in Bridge > Preferences > Advanced > International > Keyboard are limited, and they do not allow for choosing custom keyboard layouts.
I need the custom keyboard layouts for a variety of reasons, such as being able to type in seven languages with my most used one without switching, two Russian layouts to allow for two non-standard ways of encoding Russian fonts, etc.
