Captivate 6 | A dozen or more bugs here or just strange "undocumentated features"

These are issues / bugs or bizarre nehaviours - some of them may be down to newbiew issues, but not many, read on if you dare...
Setup
MacBook Pro 17
Adobe Captivate 6.0.1.240
Firefox 19 (also Safari 6.0.2 and Chrome 24.0.1.1312.57 (but as you will see below there is no way to Tell Captivate these browsers exist and are installed)
Flashplayer 10.0.2.54 - but I have no interest in flash and all the testing has been eithe pure HTML or HTML5
Here we go...
The disabled / crippled close minimise buttons of the MAC OS do not follow the correct convention and therefore confusing unnecessarily to new users. (Conventions are there for a reason)
Inserting fully www3 compliant animated gifs, results in gifs that don't animate] EVEN in browser preview. This is incredibly bad for web based previews.
GIF images scale down very poorly (ending up jagged) - even with modest scale down
The "click Y or click anywhere doesn't work" typing Y does not work (probably because the Get_focus  property for the active preview has been lost by the program)
The quiz review button is inconsistent - sometimes it shows the ticks and crosses other times it doesn't
Slide master is confusing, with inserted graphics only appearing on some slides in the "film strip" thus it is simpler to ignore slid masters and add images directly to the individual actual slides
The placing of A), B) C) etc seems to result in them being buried under radio buttons if the project size is at or below about 350px width. Even above this it does not seem possible to either remove them (as they still are placed clumsily) or move them to the correct position (it is almost as if the text settings (properties) of multiple quo ice answer bullet points is not getting applied to the A), B) C) etc labels, just the text
Is the JS created unique to the project ? If so does this mean that in Moodle (for example) the header has to get stuffed with a JS file for every quiz instead of calling a standard library lie jQuery?
The placing of the (quiz review) red cross and the green ticks is all over the place and the sizes are very inconsistent (creating something of a real layout mess) - sometimes the same buttons just don't even show up?
Publshing the project into a neat folder seems to result in dozens of unused images (e.g. arrows and blue circles) being copied into the folder?
The publish tools complains about certain browsers e.g. Firefox latest version but does not state what elements are at fault in the project - leaving you to guess if there really is an incompatible component or whether all of those pre-check tick boxes in the audio, video preferences of Captivate are to blame.  There is no indicator of graceful degradation of features
I have been unable to find anywhere the setting that allows me to choose the browser to test this on - since it complains that the latest firefox is no good. Any suggestions? Its not in preferences nor publish - both places where users would have looked.
Has anyone put a Captivate quiz into Moodle and knows where all the hundreds of files and folders from a Captivate project must go?

Re:
The quiz review button is inconsistent - sometimes it shows the ticks and crosses other times it doesn't - did you find a solution? I'd dearly like to be able to tidy up the ticks!
Thanks

  • TP3 more bugs & problems tha in TP2

    Hi everyone!
    After some time playing with TP3 I have feeling it is slower and more buggy that TP2. And I noticed that many posts here are related to bugs in TP3 that were not noticed in TP2. Also, TP2 was working fine with JDK 1.6 while TP3 is not working at all. Looks like TP3 is feture extended TP2 but with more bugs and less performant...
    My questions are: What is going on? When we can expect TP4 hoing it will be faster and more stable.
    Cheers,
    PaKo

    Hi Pako
    I agree for the bugs, tp3 seem plenty of new bugs and new features also ... it is great to have new features.
    I disagree for your comment about performance. Performance is better for me, particulary in diagraming and off line database editors.
    I didn't see any real improvements or worse performance in adf bc or adf faces editors.
    It is a lot of work to be done by Oracle to improve JDev but it seem the final product will be really improved and usable and will offer a great profitable platform for great results.
    Thank you Oracle to deliver it ... thank you for the next soon release (without the bugs) ... thank you to continue so hard.

  • Bug Report E71 - Post (serious) bugs here.

    Hi,
    Maybe it's wise to have a dedicated bug report topic for the E71.
    So not discussions here .. just USEFULL reports.
    Bug #1 :
    Situation:
    - I am having a sip internet-call (native SIP client) with an Asterisk server.
    - put the call on 'standby' (by menu Options)
    - i press the 'Options' softkey again
    - phone freezes. Only battery removal can restart it.
    (it also freezes after doing some random key presses .. which i can't remember exactly .. but the standby is not stable.)
    Bug #2:
    - please fix color-settings for the camera . There is 'purple' all over.

    501.21.001 on RM-357 (E71-2) Since upgrading to 501, I've had two major problems. 1) rarely (it's only happened twice), the SMS application will hang when attempting to reply to a message. The original message stays on the screen and nothing will let me out of the app. The phone will respond to the power button, however, and seems to work fine after a reboot. 2) battery life and/or battery meter is terrible. Battery meter will stay near the top then suddenly drop to 2-3 bars remaining. Energy Profiler seems to confirm my power usage is about where it used to be (drawing about 0.12W with the screen off and Gravity running in the background). Phone will then reach 1 bar and give "battery low" warnings, but I'm not convinced the battery is truly low. Last night I was on one bar for over two hours, Gravity was left running, I send and received a few texts, and I was connected to my in-car bluetooth for about 25 minutes, and the phone did not die. On the original firmware, I would never have made it through all that on one bar, which makes me think the bug is with the battery meter, not the battery life itself.

    Then I was just refreshing this page a few times (clicking a refresh button in browser, without doing anything else in page – so no PPRs, actions etc. – so no client events should be produced by my acting beside page refresh).

    Why is this happening? The page renders (apparently) normally, the graph renders as it should, but I'm not sure if the page is going to work correctly because of this warning/error.
    I'm using TP4 on Vista x86, with JDK 1.6u5.
    Anyone, please take a look at this. It may be a bug somewhere...
    Regards,

    Pako,
    the message "java.lang.NumberFormatException: empty String" points to a missing data value. I'll file a bug and ask QA to verify this.

    You appear to have AVG installed:
    *See --> http://forums.avg.com/ww-en/avg-forums?sec=thread&act=show&id=173969#post_173969
    From reading on the internet, it appears that when there is a spike in memory usage, AVG "interprets" that as a memory leak, possibly caused by malware. AVG could be incorrect concerning that assumption. Maybe they are being a bit too conservative about memory usage; just my opinion.
    The decision is yours to turn off the "advisor" or leave it on.

  • JAAS/Tomcat - providing more login information than just username/password

    Sorry if this is a vague question or that I seem lazy, but I have been asked to say if an easy solution is available by the end of the day so I thought I would ask some of the experts!
    I currently have a tomcat application which is protected by basic FORM protection with user name and password held within the database.
    This application is to be rolled out and accessed by multiple clients, non of which should have access to each others data.
    All of this is in place and a username is currently associated with a client. However we have been asked if the login can be changed so that the user logs in as
    client-name/user-name/password for two reasons - firstly to avoid the possibility of the same username existing for more than one client and secondly as we now have a user who will be able to log in to more than one of the clients and creating two separate user names is not seen as the answer.
    My guess is that this may be possible using JAAS though I have found no example showing this yet (and as always have not had much time to do so!)
    Could anyone tell me if they think this is possible?
    Many thanks in advance

    We are developing a custom SSPI module for our weblogic servers, and i have a concern
    with remote logins for remote ejb calls.
    The documentation statest that the UsernamePasswordLoginModule is a good way to
    remotely log into a different BEA server so that ejb calls can be made from the
    Security.runAs context. However, i need to have more information passed than
    just the username password combination. e.g. applicationId that is making the
    call, in addition to the userid.
    The docs recommend creating your own login module, which is fine, but if i am
    correct the UsernamePasswordLoginModule uses the environment object and Authenticate.athenticate,
    to perform the login to my sspi. in that case the name is somehow translated
    into a NameCallback and (credential) Password to a PasswordCallback. If i want
    to add a different callback, "CallingAppCallback" where is that set in the environment
    object? In the properties? and if so, how is that then accessed by my LoginModule
    or AuthenticationProviderImpl?
    I just dont see how to extend the functionality of UsernamePasswordLoginModule,
    for remote-server logins?Yes, this is a major limitation. I had a similar limitation when I
    implemented a kerberos client. If you can't fit what you want into two
    string fields, you are stuffed. BEA really need to open up the API for
    client-side login modules. To be fair to BEA, JAAS is useless so they
    weren't working with something that was designed for distributed systems
    in the first place.
    Anyway I worked around it by base 64 encoding my data (which was binary
    obviously). I suggest you come up with some way of encoding the
    application id in the username, e.g user@id or something along those lines.
    If you do come up with a better solution I'd be very interested to know!

    When my wife tries to update one of her apps a strange Apple ID pops up. Her Apple ID is correct in settings and in the apple store. What does this mean? Where did the other one come from?

    There is something on your iPhone (a music file, iBook, document or video) that belongs to another Apple ID.  Only your wife would know how that file arrived there.  Your iPhone is asking for the correct Apple ID for all of the files that are resident on the iPhone.

    re-open itunes.
    connect iphone
    quickly begin to hold down both home button and sleep/wake for around 7/8 seconds.
    as soon as the iphone screen goes black release finger from sleep/wake button but continue to hold home button.
    an apple logo should appear on the iphone screen
    continue to hold down home button
    itunes should now let you know it has detected a phone in recovery mode.
    choose to restore iphone.
    once completed restore from back up if desired.
