Extra characters appearing in Stickies and TextEdit

Having a problem with the design computer at work. Font issues all over the place. For instance, I'm trying to type into this field, and my cursor isn't exactly lined up with the text... so I don't really know where I am . It's inserting extra characters and spaces into the text field. This is happening on Stickies and TextEdit... and not anywhere else... not with Mozilla Thunderbird or MS Word. Weird.. Also the font is very light... as If I'm missing a core font.. which is possible because I used FontExplorer X (from LynoType) to clear the font cache and remove fonts from the system folder than weren't installed by Apple. I t may have screwed up the font folder... I might need to reinstall fonts, but I don't want to reinstall the system if I can avoid it. Any suggestions?

JSP/Servlets: Extra Characters appear randomly.

One of the major problems that we are having with our JSPs and Servlets is these extra characters (probably in hexa format and probably equal to the content length of the output) keep appearing at random. If the output is small then you see these characters just once - at the top, but if the output is long (like the result of a query being displayed within an html table), these characters appear randomly anywhere in between the generated output and break the html.
If the same resource is accessed via the Database listener http endpoint then this problem does not occur - i.e. when you bypass Apache.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

one more thing...the code runs properly on localhost... i tested it on my pc n it was fine..both in firefox and IE...
i guess there is a specific syntax i need to follow (strict syntax) but i dunno what it is...:(

Extra characters appearing when using VISA

Hi, I am new to labview and have a problem I've been working on for a few days. I am reading masses printed from a scale hooked up by a RS-232 to USB connection, with the ultimate goal of recording mass vs. time. Currently random letters appear in the mass at various times and cause the waveform chart to drop to zero, Looking at the signal using another program I am getting a constant mass reading. Searching the forums I have not been able to find a way around this problem. Any help would be . I attached my current program to the bottom to better explain my predicament.
Solved!

1. Use a proper Stop button.
2. Set the loop's termination condition to be Stop When True.
3. Do not use the Run Continuously. What you are doing here is constantly reinitializing the serial port, which is likely causing data to be missing and giving you your weird results.
4. Close you port after the loop.
5. There is no need at all for that property node. You can define what the termination character is with the Configure Serial Port.

I copied mp3 files from a usb stick and they appear in music folder in finder and on iPhone/ipad with itunes match but not in iTunes?

I copied mp3 files from a usb stick and they appear in finder in my itunes media/music folder and on my iphone and ipad with itunes match but not in the itunes library?

Not working. And it didn't used to be a problem. iTunes can find the songs with Search Library, but doesn't show in any index (by song, artist or album). Finding with Search Library offers to play or add to Up Next, but neither actually does anything. Using File-Add to Library does nothing as well. The only way I can get the new files to play is to find in Finder and Open with iTunes.
I suspect Apple is trying to drive me to buy from iTunes store. Not gonna happen. If they don't fix this, I'll find another player.
This worked fine before OSX 10.8.

Emails I send ave extra characters and are not legible

The emails i am sending contain extra characters and symbols are are generally not readable! Here is an example of what my emial looked like when i replied to a message: the subject should read Super 8 Videocamer
Subject: Fw: =per 8 Videocamera
Does this email have the jibberish that is inclu�d in Pauls email?
=p style="font-size: initial; font-family: Calibri, 'Slate Pro', =ns-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); text-align: initial; background-color:=b(255, 255, 255);">.....

so you can imagine what my friends/colleagues are thinking when they get emails from me with all this in it!
in case anyone else has this issue......
this is the BB Z10 phone. Software release 10.0.10.85 OS versiom 10.0.10.672 build 445581
My carrier is Bell Mobility in Canada and i have email service through Eastlink.
I have two emails associated with this phone - one with Hotmail and one from Eastlink.
Also when i fwd an email it is sometimes blank! No fwd message at all - the email is completely blank!
Does anyone else have this issue?

Hey Pegster,

JMS Adapter - data conversion xml- structured data has extra characters

Further to [Using MQ / JMS adapter with legacy system to talk to SAP;, I am using the Module tab on my receiver JMS Adapter to convert the xml payload to a structured format. It converts to the mainframe ebcdic code set. I am on PI 7.11, and the MQ Series (which JMS interacts with) is 6.0. The code I have is comparable to the wiki:[http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/HowTo...ContentconversionmodulewithJ2EEJMS+adapter], i.e. the example at the very bottom of that article.
The issue we are having is that an extra character gets inserted at the end of each structure (within the message), i.e. our message contains 4 structures, but when we view the structured data on our mainframe system (that arrives from PI), the entire message is shifted by 4 characters... by 1 after the end of each structure. On the mainframe, this extra character appears as '.'. It must be an end-of-line or something...
Has anyone had the same issue? If so, were you able to resolve? I could probably set up my message data type to just be one big declare (thus eliminating the use of structures within it), but that is something I'd rather not do.
We are in the process of reviewing Note 856346, #6 but not sure if it applies.
Regards,
Keith

Hi,
check localejbs/SAP XI JMS Adapter/ConvertMessageToBinary Local Enterprise Bean convert_XI2Bin
this is not CallJMSService.
And also check the receiver Structure, if it is falt structure its ok, else
see the below link if it has the complex structure , how to handle..

Extra characters at end of line in spool file

I am trying to generate csv files from SQL Developer using queries written to spool files. I have embedded the queries and associated set commands in script files and call them, as advised elsewhere. This gives csv files that look fine, with headings and data comma separated and enclosed with double quotes. The problem is that the files seem to contain a lot of extra characters at the end of each line. They seem to be spaces, but not sure. This is causing problems for the person trying to load the data.
I'm using version SQL Developer 3.1.07.42, Java 1.6.0_11.
Any ideas on how to avoid the extra spaces appearing? Thanks for any help.
Ben.

Jeff,
The SQL in the script file is below. To be honest, I have reduced it down to a simple select from dual and it still puts extra spaces at the end of the single line.
col ord noprint
spool test.csv
SELECT ' ' ord,
'ZONE_ORDER_NUMBER'||','||
'ZONE_NAME'||','||
'ZONE_TYPE'||','||
'DESCRIPTION'||','||
'START_DATE'||','||
'END_DATE'
FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT zone_name ord,
'"'||zone_order_number||'"'||','||
'"'||zone_name||'"'||','||
'"'||zone_type||'"'||','||
'"'||description||'"'||','||
'"'||TO_CHAR(start_date,'DD-MON-YY')||'"'||','||
'"'||TO_CHAR(end_date,'DD-MON-YY')||'"'
FROM zones
ORDER BY ord;
spool off

Hyperlinks created in CS6 introduce extra characters

I've noticed that when I create hyperlinks in InDesign CS6 (v 8.0.1) it adds extra characters in the URL, thus breaking the link. For example [red highlights problem areas]...
Correct hyperlink typed into InDesign:
http://portfolio.epri.com/ProgramTab.aspx?sId=ENV&rId=220&pId=6931
InDesign renders the URL this way:
http://portfolio.epri.com/ProgramTab.aspx%3FsId%3DENV%26rId%3D220%26pId%3D6931
This happens on both a Mac and a pc. I never experienced this problem in earlier versions of InDesign.
I found an earlier discussion about this problem but it doesn't appear that Adobe has fixed it. A corrective script was offered by Laubender in that discussion. However, I create a lot of docs with a lot of links and would rather avoid that type of solution.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Use laubender's script solution. It is the most straightforward fix.

PDFMaker bookmarks broken or extra characters

My configuration:
Windows XP SP2
Acrobat 8 Pro
Word 2000
When I attempt to create bookmarks automatically using the options in PDFMaker, the resulting bookmarks are broken and the bookmarked headings have extra characters in front of them.
By broken, I mean that the bookmarks all point to the same, incorrect page.
The headings (and StyleRef fields in the headers) include extra characters of the form 0B, 1B, 2B, etc.
This happens when I start Word without any other add-ins, and when I try to process a completely new, small, clean document with just a few headings.
This happens when I use built-in headings and when I use custom designed headings.
Any suggestions for fixes or workarounds will be appreciated!
Bear

Bill: Thanks for your suggestion. AFAIK we are using the last available update to Word 2000. And remember, it's not a problem in the DOC file -- it's only in the PDF when created with bookmarks.
Here's my most precise formulation of the problem to date. I'll call the unwanted characters in the headers the "1B" problem.
When you create a PDF with bookmarks from a document that uses a StyleRef to populate the headings, IF the StyleRef is for a built-in heading style, the "1B" problem appears. In our problem template, the headings are filled by StyleRef to Heading 1, a built-in heading style.
If I create a custom style named H1 that is identical in all aspects to Heading 1 and use that for the topic title paras (paras that used to be Heading 1) the "1B" problem disappears.
To recap, in the "fixed" version:
H1 (used for the level 1 PDF bookmark) is a custom para style used for topic titles. Headers are populated via StyleRef to H1.
Heading 2 is used for the level 2 PDF bookmark. (I expect any other built-in headings will work fine as well. It's just a conflict between built-in headings and StyleRef fields.)
This leaves three solutions:
1. Revise the style definitions in the template to use a custom style for topic title paras.
2. Remove the header from the template design
3. Create bookmarks manually.
I'm inclined to remove the headers, as this is a medium-sized manual that isn't divided into chapters, and it's of marginal value to the reader to put the topic titles in the page headers when there are so few topics, and they are each only few pages long.
I don't expect a solution in the form of an upgrade or patch for either Word 2000 or Acrobat 8. Word users on the Word-PC site experimented for me, and we were able to reproduce the problem in Word 2007 and Acrobat 8. I suspect it's there with Word 2003 as well.

Extra characters embedded into messages

I have had an intermittent problem in e-mails sent from Safari, and Mail 2.1 (my default reader). These charaters are & # 1 0 ; > embedded (without spaces) into messages I send ; I don't know if every recipient gets the extra characters but they are appearing with more regularity. They appear in the messsages that are received but not in the my Sent folder. They appear in my outgoing messages that are returned as part of a Reply. I have tried to talk with Comcast but got nowhere; it seems that the only mail recipients that get this corruption are PC users. It also seems that it gets worse the more times the orginal message gets sent back and forth but this may just be my frustration imagining the problem growing during each trip. Any suggestions or fixes?? Thanks. PS when I previewed this post the first time only the > appeared; went back and put in spaces between all!??!

It sounds like special symbols used to represent some characters in html are not being translated correctly at the other end. The easiest fix is probably to make sure you are sending your email as Plain Text and not Rich Text.

I get extra characters with punctuation in my downloads

I get extra characters at the end of my sentences with my eBook downloads. How do I get rid of them.

Hi "g_g_m_mayers"
I’m sorry but, that’s not an issue…It’s about normal…
Here for example, is PRS-T2 menu, with all reading books “appearance” selections. PRS-T2 (Esupport.Sony US)
About page size:
If you select from the menu as “font size” the second icon from left, you’ll have the original page layout of the ebook.
About fonts:
With fonts all depends on ebook's file.
If file includes one or more set of fonts, and you select on reader device Font Type “Original”, you’ll have the original fonts on reader and they will be also the same on PC.
For example:
If fonts in ebook were, Greek or Cyrillic or calligraphic or special characters, they will be also on reader device Greek or Cyrillic or calligraphic or special and they will be the same even on PC.
In this case we have the same fonts on PC, on Reader device and on original book.
But what happens if the ebook’s file does not include set of fonts?
Reader device will try to type ebook with the built-in characters (Amasis, Frutiger Neue, Helevetica ,Palatino, etc..) and probably they won’t be the same as the original. Reader device, also, doesn’t include special or other language characters and so, probably, you’ll see “strange” characters like “?” “%”, etc.
On PC now, most of these “special characters” are built-in, so most of times there’s no problem.
But quite always, PC's ebook viewer software selects different fonts and so we could have:
Original Book with one type of font, PC ebook with a second type of fonts, Reader device with a third type of fonts.

Preview and TextEdit windows continuously lose focus

Preview and TextEdit windows keep losing focus.
In other words, I select the window, but them moments later it deselects itself (title and traffic light buttons grey out).
The app's menu is still visible (ie it still appears as if Preview or TextEdit is the active app).
But if I do single-app-expose, no windows appear at all and I just see a blank screen (ie as if the app doesn't have any windows open at all).
So it's almost as if the app isn't aware it even has windows open?
Anyone else have this? Any ideas for a fix?

I'm not sure of the name or if it is even accessable from system monitor. I had the same issue with the daemon relanching the app and ended up uninstalling everything until there is a fix. I believe the last update is from 2009 so it's not in active development and chances of an expedited fix aren't great. I wrote an email to axiotron the same day as my oruginal post here and have not received a response yet.
While a complete uninstall is more of a trade off than a solution it may be the only 'fix' for the time being. To uninstall you may need to run an app from within the installation dvd or disk image.
I'm not near my mac right now but will double check some things in a bit and post if I discover anything new and useful. In the mean time you can check for options within your app that may disablethe autostart feature. This doesn't exist in Quickscripts so I was forced to either uninstall or deal with the bug and not use textedit and preview.....I chose to uninstall of course.
