Column span and crashing

Hi,
Is anyone else facing this kind of problem? I have a page with various columns (three). The columns are hosting a narrow, but long table. The introductory paragraphs (title and legend) are spanned across the columns.
Each time I do any edit (applying a text style, deleting a line) InDesign freezes. I get this kind of error in the Console:

I reported this to Adobe, but I would see if anyoady has a workaround. I solved using the old way (separated text frames), but this prevents one of the features of CS5.

I tried to reproduce the crashing that Eugene reported, and could not. I have a decent C2D with 4 gigs of RAM, and with those specs all I could do was experience slightly-slower-than-expected performance when working with column-spanning headers. However, when I start my Ubuntu VM, and start the processes that cause it to consume about 2 gigs of RAM, then my system specs degrade to the minimum RAM acceptable to ID (just more than 2 gigs) and I start experiencing multi-second delays.
My hunch is that this particular feature requires more resources than the minimum spec from Adobe... or that a buggy plugin is crashing when it doesn't do garbage collection quick enough to prevent the host system from running out of available RAM. Just a hunch, I'm not a developer at all, but the whole thing smells like a memory leak to me. I could never get it to crash, though, so perhaps I'm only muddying the path with my posts about my attempts to reproduce it.

  • How to implement row span and column span in JTable.

    Hi,
    How do we implement Col span and row span in JTable as in Html.
    Kindly help.
    Thank You

    Although I suppose you could extend JTable to support column and row spans, this would involve a lot of of work and quite a few hacks. I think you will be better off either creating a new custom JComponent with an appropriate model for this purpose or using an existing solution such as [JIDE Grids|http://www.jidesoft.com/products/grids.htm] which includes a CellSpanTable.

    I've been using numbers for iPad and I accidentally deleted a column. And the auto-save feature saved that and now I can't undo it. Does iCloud storage have backups of saved files from like 10 minutes ago? I have numbers synced to iCloud.
    I tried to undo it but the app crashed.
    I am hoping there's like a previously saved version of my file in iCloud somewhere. 

    No, iOS does not do short term incremental back ups to iCloud such as you get with Time Capsule.It backs up when you do soo manually, or if set properly, when the device is plugged in and connected to WiFi. It will not have saved your changes as of 10 minutes prior.

  • Dynamically set number-columns-spanned

    Hi all,
    I have a cross tab which has a dynamic number of columns. Each column has a header "Location" (which is determined by the data), but the table also has a master header "Volume" which should span all of the locations. How can I acheive this?
    I currently have:
    <xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="block" name="number-columns-spanned">2</xsl:attribute> Volumne
    But this is obviously static.
    Many Thanks

    Hi lmd2,
    Attached is a quick example of one way to do what you are asking. This is only a general example, and there may be a bettter implementation depending on the architecture of your application.  The link here also has information on setting the number of sockets for a specific sequence file.

  • Is column spanning available in CS4?

    Have a two-column article
    in an INDesign CS4 publication.
    Would like its headline to span both columns without having to separate the text.
    I know VS5 has column spanning, but is there a script in CS4 that allows me to do this?

    Here's a link: http://pdsassoc.com/PDSproducts/HeadStraddler/index.php
    It will work with a little modification -- as is it does a version check and throws an error message that it only works in CS2, but that only because at the time it was written there were no later versions to try.  You can remove the test in a text editor and it should run fine in CS4.
    The lines to remove or comment out are:
    if (String(app.version).split(".")[0] != 4) {
         errorExit("This script is compatible only with InDesign CS2.");
    at the top of the script. I don't think Dave will mind, especially if you register the product and pay the fee.

  • Reading MS Project column names and data on the fly from a selected View

    Hi guys,
    I have several views on my project file (MSPROJECT 2010) and I want to build a macro so that;
    1. User can select any view ( Views can have diffrent columns and the user may add new columns as well)
    2. User runs the Macro and all the coulmns along with the tasks displayed in the view will be written to a excel file. ( I don't want to build several macro's for each view, I'm thinking of a common method which would work for any selected view)
    The problem I'm facing is that how will i read the column names and data for a particular view on the fly without hard coding them inside the vba code ?
    The solution needs to work on a master schedule as well.
    Appreciate your feedback.

    Just to get you started the following code writes the field name and data for the active task to the Immediate window.
    Sub CopyData()
    Dim fld As TableField
    For Each fld In ActiveProject.TaskTables(ActiveProject.CurrentTable).TableFields
    If fld.Field >= 0 Then

  • HP Pavilion Elite e91804 experiencing lock-ups and crashing after LWSEP

    1. Product name and number: HP Pavilion Elite e91804
    2. Operating system: Windows 7 64 bit
    3. No error message (other than blue screen)
    4. My most recent change was sending my computer in for the Limited Warranty Service Enhancement Program, and receiving a new motherboard.
    Before I sent my computer in for the LWSEP I was experiencing lock-ups and crashes only when I was multi-tasking (playing video games, listening to music, and having tabs open in firefox).
    So I sent my computer in for the LWSEP to receive a new motherboard to fix these crashes, however after receiving my computer from them, the lock-ups and crashing have not been fixed and, in fact, have gotten worse. My computer will now lock-up and crash whenever I attempt to stream anything, be that music, video, etc. I can still occasionally play video games, assuming that I am doing nothing else, and that my computer cooperates with me (not locking up), but this only happens about 1/3 of the time.
    My main confusion is that sending my computer in was supposed to fix my problem, not make it worse. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    my itunes will not open at all. it occasionally will open but when i plug my iphone into it the program freezes and crashes. please help as soon as possible

    i think i might have a solution... i have windows vista and after i installed to latest itunes update everytime i tried to open it it would freeze. I tried everything, including uninstalling itunes and all of its components and reinstalled it numerous times. So i went to the itunes folder in my folders, not on itunes, and i deleted my itunes library and playlists. After that it worked just fine, all of my music was deleted but luckily i had my files saved elsewhere.
    I hope this helped! I know its frustrating and APPLE/ITUNES NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM!!!!

    Hi erastyle,
    Actually the Licensing information for the package is missing hence it is not launching any applications. You need to Reserialize the products using APTEE which you can find it on the Machine where you have created the package. If you dont have the access to that Machine then please download and install Creative Cloud Packager and it will download APTEE in the below mentioned location.
    Windows:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\CCP\utilities
    Once downloaded please follow this KB article to use the Tool.

  • Error and crash upon saving

    Hi,
    I am experiencing an issue very similar to the one described in (http://forums.adobe.com/message/243559#243559). I have several RH projects that have started crashing/closing when I save changes. The projects are all several years old, of varying sizes (15-200 topics), and were converted when I upgraded to RH 8 last fall. Initially, I had some trouble with the conversions, but attributed it to working with a trial version of the software while waiting for the company purchase of the full license. After receiving the license code and installing the available patches, the projects seemed to function fine for close to a month before this started happening.
    Other information:
    ·        I am using: Windows XP Professional SP3, Intel T2500 @ 2.00GHz, 2.00 GB RAM, RH 8.0.2.208. (RH HTML)
    ·        I archive files on a network drive, but work on all projects on a local drive.
    ·        The projects are not under source control.
    ·        I do not have this issue when working with the RH CCC sample project.
    I tried deleting the .cpd file before opening the project. The project still crashes upon changing and saving any topic.
    I created a new project and imported some topic files. The project worked fine until I closed and re-opened it. Then, the project returns to crashing upon saving. I tried this several times with exactly the same result.
    I don’t understand how this is related, but the only success I’ve had is deleting a line of HTML from the topics that references a javascript. If I remove the following line from a topic (save and crash the project) and then re-open the project (the change removing the line of code does save), I can then successfully save changes in that topic without crashing RH.
    <script language="javascript" src="writetitle.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    I have been able to repeat these results with multiple topics. If I put the line back in, the project crashes upon saving – take it back out and I can save changes to that topic again. I can close and re-open the project and it performs the same.
    The code is used in conjunction with a master template that contains a feedback form. The project crashes upon saving whether or not the topic is not using that template.
    I hate to simply remove this line of code since I don’t really understand how or if that is fixing the problem and because that is what lets me know which topic any feedback is pertaining to. Thanks for any help.
    TNSdoc2

    I don't know javascript from HTML. Here is what has worked for me. I open the Broken Links dialog. I open a listed topic using the Edit button. I find and fix the broken link. I save the topic. RH8 crashes. I jump to my open RoboSource screen and check in the topic that just crashed. When I reopen the RH8 project, the link generally shows as fixed and I can move on to the next.
    In the event the check in function failed, RH8 displays a dialog asking whether I want to leave or replace the local topic from RoboSource. I have found that using the Merge button has resolved the issue so that the project remains active and the link is repaired.

  • Firefox does not open at all and crashes. What is wrong?

    Up until recently Firefox was working fine. When I try to open Firefox no window opens, no page loads, all I get it the crash reporter telling me that Firefox had a problem and crashed. I have un-installed and re-installed Firefox once thinking this would help. It didn't. The only thing I can think of is that it might be my Norton software. Even then I had Norton before Firefox started crashing.

    Hello everyone.
    Hopefully this support article is what you need:
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+will+not+start
    In any case, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

  • Interactive Report Column Headings and Row Height

    I am using the div style="width:350px;" method to control the width of columns in various interactive reports. That works fine except for the following:
    1. When creating filters, the <div...> stuff shows up along with the actual column heading, thus confusing some end users
    2. Even when I uncheck the "Use same text for single row view" checkbox and then provide a simple single row view label, the <div> stuff still shows up on the single row view
    Does anyone have a better solution?
    Also, does anyone know of a way to limit the row height within an interactive report row? I have some columns of data that contain a large amount of HTML data and I'd like to be able to limit the number of rows that show on the report.
    Is Oracle planning to provide some better control over the Interactive Report columns in another version? The Interactive Report is such a huge improvement in usability in APEX - it would be great to take it to another level by providing some better control over column width and row height.

    Dale,
    Unfortunately we don't have much we can use to do what you would like. I would have said it's impossible until version 4 but you could actually do something similar to what Roel has done. His trick is in the edit button. He changed the edit button to use an "onload" call to a JavaScript process. You could do the same but call a process that goes across the rows and styles each column. Now because you don't have a way to identify the column (can't use the order because the end user could change it) you'll have to write the code to look at the top row first and then style the appropriate column. As far as I can tell, this would be quite difficult and inefficient. Having said that if you need it that bad and would like some help with it, put up an example application on apex.oracle.com and provide the workspace/username/password and I'll take a look.

  • I just updated to 4.0.1 and I get the "We're sorry. Firefox had a problem and crashed. We will try to open your tabs/windows when Firefox restarts" However, it just keeps popping back up, firefox never restarts!!!

    This morning I had a popup on my Windows XP PC stating that the 4.0.1 update was available. I upgraded. now, i receive the following error: We're sorry. Firefox had a problem and crashed. We will try to open your tabs/windows when Firefox restarts. You can submit crash report data, blah blah blah (which i have submitted several)
    But, firefox DOES NOT ever open. It just pops back up with that same report window, over and over.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
