Format issue causing iBook navigation problems

Hello!
I created an iBook for a client, but some of the default functions of an iBook aren’t working when it’s previewed on iPad. My question is: since the file format seems to be the issue, what can be done to alleviate it?
Problems
When previewing the iBook on the iPad...
Framing features such as navigation bar, book info, bookmark tool, etc. are missing
The pages lack animated page turns
Right and left page edge riffles are missing
When the iPad is turned vertically…
Pages scroll top to bottom instead of left to right as they should
All images disappear
Basically, the iBooks works mostly well in landscape mode but not so much in portrait mode. The client checked other iBooks to compare and the iBook I created is the only one with problems with the interface functions.
Steps Taken To Save & Preview File
Saved the iBook file as an IBA file. I also Exported it as an iBooks file.
Sent IBA and iBooks files to the client to preview on his iPad (I don’t have one so I can’t preview it myself).
The client opened the IBA file using iBooks Author then clicked the “Preview” button.
The IBA file cross-loads to the iPad and the problems can be seen.
The client also attempted to load the IBA and iBooks files on the Book Proofer application (this application does accept IBA and iBooks files), but that didn't work either. The client told me that are some file format issues unrelated to content, leading me to believe that it's a format issue.
Technical Specifications
iBook Author version I used to create iBook
1.1 (the latest)
iBooks version client used to preview iBook
iBooks version 2.1.1 (April 16, 2012 release)
iPad version the iBook is being previewed on
1st Generation 64GB iPad
File being used to preview on iPad
The IBA and iBooks files for the iBook
Could it be file format incompatibilities? Has anyone had this issue before? I hope the information I provided is useful. Any insight about these issues is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Catrina

Again, sorry, a 'Shared' .ibooks file has the same format as what users download from the store.
You don't need to be in the store to circulate that file. 'private' as defined depends on you. Email that file if possible and/or put it on your own server/dropbox and share the link to trusted individuals.
If you're sending the .iba file to someone that then uses it in iBA, they need to use the 'Shared' menu to generate an .ibooks file, then drop that into iTunes and sync to their device.

Formatting issues in iBooks on the iPad

Hello,
I'm creating iBooks to publish on the iBookstore, but am having some formatting issues, or so I think at least.
I have already created one iBook (http://itunes.apple.com/gb/book/id387336687, apologies for the morbid subject matter), which I tested on my iPhone (iOS 4.0) before publishing, and everything appeared correctly. Since then I've purchased an iPad, and have noticed that some of the formatting, namely text alignment, has lost it's formatting. This formatting issue only seems to effect the text, as all images look fine.
I'm creating the iBooks in InDesign CS5 and Sigil, of which I've checked the CSS and everything seems correct.
I'm wondering whether this is an issue with the current iPad iOS, and will be fixed once iOS 4.2 is released. But if anyone can shed some light on why this might be occurring, it would be much appreciated.
Many thanks

I don't think anyone knows. It could even create a new set of issues by disabling many of the hacks floating around on blogs.
But if anyone can shed some light on why this might be occurring, it would be much appreciated.
Typical iBooks CSS issues coupled with overly complex InDesign source. I took a different route and reformatted my source into super-simple XML and then generated my ePub from that. I still have all the same iBooks and CSS issues, but I am in complete control of my content.
It is always best to test books on the target device. That shouldn't be a problem now that you have an iPad. However, if you are making decent money, it might be a good idea to keep one iPad on 3.2.2 for testing. That would be the ideal. I don't see the iPhone as being a really big iBooks market. I would focus on testing on the iPad.

Java plug-in 1.4.1 proxy configuration issue causes JTextField TAB problems

I have an applet that has multiple JTextFields in it. I recently updated my Java plug-in to version 1.4.1, and now using TAB to navigate among text fields does not always work when I first bring up a browser and load the applet.
I've found, however, that if I open the Java Console and hit "p" (reload proxy configuration), and then reload my applet (hit Refresh/Reload on my browser), the Tab key works as expected. I did not have this issue with releases prior to 1.4.1.
Any clue on how I can ensure proper proxy configuration upon initial instantiation of the browser? I've seen the problem in both IE 6.0 and Netscape 7.0.
Note that the reloading of the proxy configuration only appears to be necessary once per browser session.

The navigation isn't working. I click in the first text field to give the initial field focus. I then hit TAB and nothing happens. I have a key listener set up for the ENTER key, and this is also supposed to navigate to the next field via:
((JTextField)evt.getSource()).transferFocus();
To see if there was a problem with my build environment or threads in my application, I came up with the following dummy applet:
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import javax.swing.BoxLayout;
import javax.swing.JApplet;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
public class TestApplet extends JApplet {
public void init() {
super.init();
public void start() {
JPanel myPanel = new JPanel();
myPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(myPanel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
JTextField textField1 = new JTextField("Text Field 1");
myPanel.add(textField1);
JTextField textField2 = new JTextField("Text Field 2");
myPanel.add(textField2);
JTextField textField3 = new JTextField("Text Field 3");
myPanel.add(textField3);
getContentPane().add(BorderLayout.CENTER, myPanel);
public void stop() {
super.stop();
I then compiled this applet using the following:
javac TestApplet.java
I then put together the following HTML file:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Test Applet</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY MARGINWIDTH="0" MARGINHEIGHT="0" BGCOLOR="white">
<APPLET
CODE=TestApplet.class
WIDTH=635
HEIGHT=500
ALIGN=left
VSPACE=10
HSPACE=10
>
</APPLET>
</BODY>
</HTML>
The results are the same. I am not able to navigate using the TAB key until I bring up the Java console and then close it again. I would think that if this was a bug in 1.4.1_01, I would have seen it all over the forums. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bridge memory issues causing everyone's problems? Maybe???

After opening files Camera Raw files in Photoshop CS3, through the Bridge 2.1.1.9 interface on a MacBook Pro with all the latest updates to Tiger, and editing them, then setting the star rating below the thumbnail, going into File Info and enter all my data, and return to the file thumbnail to click on it to create a dng file, it takes away my ratings... this is sign... I've found that when this happens the next thing is that the preview window shows an odd looking version of my photo and when I open it up and look at the raw settings sure enough, it's applied some setting from a previous session over the top of my work!
This has only been happening recently, so I upgraded my version of Camera Raw to the latest 4.5. Didn't solve anything.
So in reading all the other complaints about Bridge CS3, of which I've had none, I am wondering if there isn't an overriding problem that causes MOST of these, and it just manifests differently on different configurations.
Is there a way to increase memory allocation to Bridge? I've compacted the cache, and that didn't solve my issues. I have the cache set to the mid point... the language is very confusing on it...smaller cache equals better performance (define better). Could this setting solve my issue?
Is there a way to increase memory allocation to Bridge?
Thanks to anyone who can help.

New to MAC: Clip vs. Sequence format issues causing slow Quad w/FCP?

Hi all,
I'm brand spanking new here and a recent Mac convert from Vegas. I figured that if I was going to upgrade, I would do it right. Don't get me wrong, I love Vegas, it's just that I'm tired of PC hardware conflicts and wanted to hop on the just-plug-it-in mac bandwagon and the ever increasing market share for FCP. Although the learning curve has been steep with FCP, I consider myself pretty savvy with Vegas and now a novice with FCP, I like the interface and there are certainly pros and cons. So far so good, but I have many questions.
This Quad has so much horse power and I'm having to render all the time. I am doing compositing and green screen stuff, but I'm thinking that with SD footage, the computer should be running sleek at satin.
I recently read another post in here that had a lot of off-topic discussion. I'm ignorant on the clip versus sequence settings and how they relate. In Vegas, most of these settings were automatic. In other words, whatever footage I threw at it, it dealt with. My footage was captured using default settings in Vegas and everything is in .avi format. When I was first bringing clips into FCP, the software suggested I use media manager to convert the files but I didn't want to suffer quality loss so I ignored it. Now that I have a rough cut of the entire 16 minute project, I'm starting to apply filters and effects and am noticing a bog down.
Now mind you, things are still faster than my old Pentium 1.4Ghz, but with 10Ghz under the hood (who would have imagined it possible?) I know it should run smoother.
Sorry I'm being so verbose, but my knowledge of formats is weak so I want to cover the bases. We shot on a DVX100A and mostly wide screen setting. In retrospect, this was a mistake as the DVX100A in wide screen simply puts black stripes on my clip versus being able to utilize the whole thing. Anyway, hind site is 20/20.
Here is my clip information.
.avi
29.97 fps
720 x 480
DV/DVCPRO - NTSC
Data rate: 3.6MB/sec
Pixel aspect: NTSC - CCIR 601
Field: Lower(Even)
Alpha: None
Composite: Normal
Audio is 48 and 16
It is possible that I captured the video in the wrong format. I have to use the "anamorphic" setting in FCP to make the footage look as though it's in the right aspect ratio. Correct me if I'm wrong, but anamorphic requires the use of a special lens when shooting yes?
I'm wondering if I should recapture the footage using FCP or will using Media Manager sort things out? If so what is the best way to do this as I don't want to lose anything that I've done. And is it even possible to recapture the clips without screwing up everything that I've already done, about sixty hours of work so far.
Worse comes to worse I'll just work with things moving slowly and stick it out until this project is done and then use FCP's cool logging/capture interface next time around. By the way, I captured this stuff long before I bought the MAC.
Any help on this would be appreciated.

Hi,
I spoke with the DP and it was definitely not shot anamorphic. Most of the footage was shot in 16:9 format which, on the DVX100 means that there is a black strip on the top and bottom of the clips as you probably know.
I recaptured a clip from scratch into a new project using the easy setup dealio in FCP. It is standard 3:2 and the clip looks fine. In my existing project is where I have a bit of a jumbled mess I'm afraid. I have a clip that looks fine in it's sequence, but when placed into the Main sequence, which has the same settings, it appears in a different aspect ration.
Yikes, I'm going to keep playing around. I'm starting to get a feel for what the format should be. I'll post again tomorrow when I have a better idea of how to answer your question.
Thanks for taking the time to pipe in here Denis.

Tell us more about your footage. In your original
post you say you shot in "letterbox" mode, i.e. fake
widescreen with the bars top and bottom. Yet you say
your sequence has to be put in anamorphic mode for
this footage to look right.
If that's the case, something is wrong. Footage
that's letterboxed in the camera is 4:3, not
anamorphic, and if you checked the anamorphic box for
this kind of footage it would look squished.
I'm thinking that you could have genuine anamorphic
footage, that you are working with in 4:3, which
would be taxing your system somewhat. It's not clear
(to me anyway) from your original post.
Can you clear this part of your problem up?

Touchup text tool causing formatting issue

We upgraded from Acrobat 8 Pro to 9 Pro and now when we try to use the touchup text tool the formatting gets messed up when you save. It usually puts in extra spaces and pushes letters on top of each other. Same document works fine if using the touchup text tool in version 8. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I have also been getting formatting issues when simply trying to correct a typo (swapping two characters). After selecting the TouchUp text tool, I hightlight and copy a character, and paste it into the correct location. The entire line moves down a couple of points.
I tried CtDave's suggestion: Acrobat Prefernces > select the TouchUp Category
Toogle "Enable Text Word Wrapping" on/off - try use of the TouchUp Text tool in each 'mode'.
With Enable Text Word Wrapping, all kinds of unwanted word-wrap formatting takes place. But on unchecking Enable Text Word Wrapping, the TouchUp text problems seem to disappear.
This is an odd effect, and suggests a bug. Enabling and disabling the Text Word Wrapping option seems to fix the issue.
Looking at the issue in more detail, I notice that by pasted text has additional white space above and below it, which other characters do not have.

Do you have Microsoft Word installed on your Mac? If so, you can reassign all .doc files to Word by selecting the file in Finder and choosing "File > Get Info" from the menu. In the window that opens look for "Open with" and change the entry to "Microsoft Word".

Converting files to PDF causing formatting issues.

Hello.
I am experiencing issues with converting an Excel file to a PDF and retaining its format. The first page converts fine, no formatting issue.But every page after that is shrinking the font and making the images smaller. This employee has tried to save the Excel file as a PDF and tried printing it through the Adobe print driver, but both are producing the same issue.
The troubleshooting steps I have taken to try to resolve this issue are below.
reinstall Adobe Acrobat
tried modifying the margins
tried a different machine
Cleaned the Temp folder
Any suggestions on a fix for this?

Hi Bill.
Thank you for the response. I tested what you have suggested and this did not work. When Adobe PDF printer is selected, it looks fine in the print preview, but once the Excel sheet has been processed, the format is not correct. I tested this also with printing a hard copy to a printer, still the formatting looks fine in the print preview. Once the file has been printed, it is not formatted the same. I have also removed the Adobe Driver and installed it again. Still doesn't work.
Any suggestions?

Custom Domain Causing site formatting issues

I have designed my site in Adobe Muse. It was working perfectly with the BC trial domain: sarahruby2014.businesscatalyst.com
I have added my custom domain: www.sarahrubydesign.com
When you view the site with the custom domain, the formatting on several pages, including the home page is messed up. However, the formatting remains pristine when sarahruby2014.businesscatalyst.com is used.
To add the custom domain, I had to delete it from a legacy website, which I did.
Then I went into my GoDaddy records (via Google, since I registered my domain through Google). I changed the name servers:
I added the domain to my current site:
I have no doubt there's something I missed.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks Liam.
I was actually able to fix the majority of the formatting issues by republishing the site from Muse and selecting "upload all files" option (instead of "upload only modified files").
The only place I'm now having issues is on the BC backend. Everything with stylesheets on the backend (news module, login block) and the url for the blog have still not updated.
I suppose I should wait that out a little longer to see if it all updates.

Installing ios8.2 does not resolve Google map navigation problem or gps tracking!

Installing ios 8.2 does not resolve Google map navigation problem.

I have tried to install both of them lots of times but in each case I receive the same in my XE.bat file:
Instance created.
DIM-00019: create service error
O/S-Error: (OS 1387) Unable to add or remove a member from the local group because this member does not exist.
Have checked OS 1387 error at Microsoft Support and as possible cause of the problem they give as follows:
This issue can occur if the environment has a disjointed namespace (i.e. the domain has different NetBIOS and DNS names). For example, assume that the domain has a NetBIOS name of "domain.com" and a DNS name of "domain-old.com." When users are added in the Windows UI, they are displayed in the format of domain\ComputerName. However, you notice in the error log that there was an attempt to add a computer account in the format of domain-old\ComputerName. (System Center 2012 R2 Data Protection Manager install fails and generates ID: 4323: "A member could not be added")
Tried to find out my DNS name, but it is impossible because I don't have any domain installed and my machine is not connected to it. Some other blog (Install Oracle 11gR2 on Windows) advices to work with adding my computer account to some non-real windows domain (just for the purpose of resolving the network) as well and reinstall the database then. If I undestand it right I need minimum 2 machines for this. But I own just one, where the server is based and thought that is enough to run the database... no idea ..

Crystal for VS 2010 - formatting issues in viewer (extra space) again

We're having the same problem as the one in this thread link:[Crystal 2008 for VS 2010 - Report formatting issues in viewer (extra space);. There's no resolution in the thread and it's been closed. I'm hoping that creating a new thread may cause someone to answer this problem.
We have a Windows App that we just converted to .NET 4.0 and updated the viewer to the Crystal Reports Viewer in VS 2010. When we open a report that has a large block of static text in paragraphs left-aligned the spacing around punctuation is awful - there's almost a tab's worth of space between the last letter and the period. U.S. looks like US. This happens both with reports that were created in VS2008 and ones that were created in VS2010. It is only a problem in the viewer's display - if we print to a printer or export to PDF the spacing around punctuation is fine. It's also not a problem on our development workstations which are running Windows 7, but is a problem on our test servers which are running Windows 2003 Server. I ran the modules tool and found that the version of usp10.dll does match what the previous thread said it should be and it's coming from the c:\program files\sap businessobjects\crystal reports for .net framework 4.0\common\sap businessobjects enterprise xi 4.0\win32_x86\ folder. On my development machine when I run the modules tool I notice that a second instance of usp10.dll is called which is the version installed with Windows 7. We've tried changing fonts but none of the ones we've tried (originally in Times New Roman, 12, tried Arial, Times and various sizes) have made a difference. We also tried changing the print options with no improvement. The only thing that makes it slightly better is full-alignment but our customer insists that it be left-aligned.

Re. the other thread. I never did receive a sample of the report to test with. Perhaps I can get one from you? I need you to ensure that the issue occurs with a "saved data" report. If it does, let me know if you can share it and I'll contact you via email. My comment in the other thread re. available time, priorities, etc., still applies. Also, just to be clear. Service Pack 2 for CRVS2010 is closed now. Thus if I am able to reproduce the issue the fix will be targeted for October \ November time frame - no guarantees though...

FCP and Motion formatting issues with DVCPro 50?

The material is DVCPro 50 NTSC 48khtz. (Item properties indicate that I initially digitized it properly.) My sequence settings are DV50 NTSC 48khtz.
I wanted to create a vignette effect so I exported my clips as a Quicktime (current settings) sequence to Motion. When I was done there I exported the sequence from Motion back to FCP as a DV NTSC movie.
Some of the Motion effected clips will play, look great and then all the sudden I see a black band appear on the East side of the frame. I can stretch it in Motion some but it just degrades the image so I'd rather not.
I'm surely grateful if someone can steer me in the right direction here.

Thanks for the workflow tips and suggestions. I backtracked to my original sequence and found the problem originates there. I have narrow black lines on both sides of all these clips. Since I resized a few clips with moves, I didn't recognize the problem. Now that I'm closer the root of it, any suggestions?
By the way, these problematic clips are intercut with no problem library footage that was also shot on DVCPro 50 and I took in on the same deck.
I cruised the forum for any occurence of a similiar issue and most replies seem to suggest a formatting issue. I don't get it since I think I have everything set up correctly. As a precaution, I also tossed out my preferences using FCP Rescue 5.
Welcome to the discussions, splotch.
Not sure what is causing this, but I might propose an
alternate workflow. Have your clips on the timeline
as you wish, ctrl/right click on them and select
Send To Motion.... Click the
embedded and open Motion ticks, give it a name, then
continue. Do your work in Motion, save, quit, and
fall back into FCP. Your clips may lose their
"anamorphicness" on their round trip, but just
ctrl/right click on the clip and select Item Properties/Format..., then
click on the anamorphic button.
Try this and see if you are still getting the same
problem...

Pro Tools files imported to FCP X causing QuickTime movie problem

Well 2 days later and hours on the phone with Apple tech support Senior Advisors, and problem still not solved. HELP.
Everything works fine in FCP X, but when I create the QuickTime movie, it is way out of sync (by many seconds).
We have isolated the problem to audio files that I am exporting to Pro Tools, processing, and then importing back into FCP X. I can create a QuickTime movie with the original video/audio and it is fine.
Information
The original video came from Canon HF M40 camcorder: AVCHD (using MPEG4-AVC / H.264 compression codec), MTS format. Audio is 48kHz, 24 bits.
I used ClipWrap to rewrap the video into ProRes 422 and decompress the audio and save as LPCM.
I simply provide this FYI. As I said earlier, the original video works fine and the resulting QuickTime movie works fine. So the original files imported into the FCP project are not the problem.
The creation of the problem audio occurs as follows:
- Detach the original audio from the original video, and export
- Import this audio into a 48.0 kHz/16-bit Pro Tools HD session and EQ/limit the audio
- Import the resulting audio into FCP X (exact same length file, audio waveforms aligned with the original audio).
This audio works fine in FCP. It is in sync with the video, everything looks great.
I ran Pro Tools at 16-bits because a senior advisor told me FCP runs at 16-bits but does not convert imported stand-alone audio (as opposed to combined video/audio) to 16-bits; thus the Pro Tools session had to be at 16-bits. I changed from 24-bits to 16-bits, and this didn't solve the problem. (FYI, when Pro Tools imports the original audio exported from FCP, it says the audio is 24-bits, not 16-bits).
What is the problem?
The basic question is why does this audio cause QuickTime a problem?
Something is going on in the conversion to the QT movie. In FCP X, I don't have a way to play with the conversion variables except to set "Video and Audio" and "Use current settings" (which is ProRes 422).
The only difference I see between the original audio and the Pro Tools audio is that the original audio is stereo and Pro Tools works with dual mono files (L & R). The mono files work fine in FCP and I can't imagine why QT would have a problem with these, but I haven't tried converting the files to stereo before importing into FCP.
I should also mention that I selected the stabilization and roll correction algorithms in FCP. I assume these don't create problems in QT. I mention this because I didn't use them when I tested making a QT movie with the original video/audio files.
FCP and Pro Tools are used together all the time to do exactly what I am doing......improve the sound of the original audio. They are the premier video and audio professional programs. Of course, the final product is often not a QuickTime movie, but many times it is a QT movie.
What the heck is going on???
HELP.

(1) It is immediately out of sync. It even appears to be speeded up to me initially, but this is subjective. But it is clearly out of sync throughout, not a gradual drift.
(2) When I create the audio files in the Pro Tools session, the files are automatically stored in the audio folder of the Pro Tools session. So I don't actually have to go through an export process. I just close the Pro Tools session, then open FCP X and import the audio from the Pro Tools folder.
I'm not sure what additional specifications you seek, other than:
- wav files
- sample rate = 48 kHz
- Bit rate = 16-bits (and earlier I used 24-bits)
- Files are dual mono, rather than stereo (name_01.L.wav, name_01.R.wav). As I mentioned above, I have not yet tried converting these to stereo before importing into FCP, to see if dual mono causes an issue with QT. It does not cause a problem in FCP. I will try this today if we don't solve the problem.
(3) I can upload a portion of the audio to a server and send you a link to the file so you can download it. Is there a way to private message on the forum so I can get an email address to send you the link?
(4) The original video came from Canon HF M40 camcorder: AVCHD (using MPEG4-AVC / H.264 compression codec), MTS format. Audio is 48 kHz, 24 bits.
I used ClipWrap to rewrap the video into ProRes 422 and decompress the audio and save as LPCM.
The FCP Project was set up at:

Sync Mode Immediate, create row causes iterator sync problems

Hi,
I'm building an application for a client and in that I've got a master detail ADF data page.
The 'master' data is user details for the application and the 'detail' data is the various access privileges a user has related to different countries, i.e. update privilege for UK data, read access for Swedish data etc. etc.
My page consists of a summary of master details (master iterator) in read only fields, a grid of detail records (detail iterator) and for each row in the grid, a 'select' link is provided which when selected, populates an input form on the same page with the details for that row (via setCurrentRowWithKey). The user can then update the details of the row and save.
Problem I have is when a New detail record is created.
The user presses a 'New' button (bound to Create action) which sets up the input form for a new detail record. The user enters the new details and presses 'Save' (bound to Commit action). Saving causes the detail grid to refresh (row position moves to 1st row in grid), showing the newly inserted record, however the input form itself on the page still contains the details of the inserted row.
So if the record I insert should be displayed 3rd in the grid (due to an Order by I have on the VO), it does show up as 3rd. However, if I select the 1st record on the grid, the data for the 3rd is displayed in the input form, if I select the 2nd record on the grid, the data for the 2nd is displayed, if I select the 3rd record on the grid, the data for the 3rd is displayed again and so on. Selecting the 1st record again still displays data for the 3rd record in the input form.
Somewhere the iterator is getting messed up.
I always refresh the query at the prepareModel phase but this doesn't fix the issue. I'm using the initializeModelForPage method that was demonstrated in ToyStore. In fact my application is built in the style of the helper functions that were provided with ToyStore (and are an excellent help!)
Can anyone point me in the right direction to fix this problem?
I'm using JDev 10.1.2.1 with immediate sync mode.
Thanks,
Paul.

I thought I'd pinned this down to the fact that on the page where there is no iterator problems, the PK of the table is a sequence.
When I select any row in the grid (via setCurrentRowWithKey) on that page, the rowKeyStr for each row never changes when the page is reloaded (which is what I would expect).
On the page where there is an iterator problems, each time I selected a row on the grid via setCurrentRowWithKey, the page reloaded and the rowKeyStr for that row had now changed to something else.
The table underlying this page had a VARCHAR2 primary key. Thinking this was the cause of the problem, I added a new PK based on a sequence and set the previous PK to a unique key only. I changed all the related entity, link and view objects to reflect this. Also made sure that the previous PK field was not selected as a 'Key Attribute' under the view object dialog box. I've gone through the definition of the entity object closely to make sure it reflects the format of the table it's based on.
Still though on this one page, a select of a row via setCurrentRowWithKey results in a change of the rowKeyStr when the page reloads and also JBO-33035 errors (as I said, pages that do work based on sequence PK tables don't change the rowKeyStr when reloaded).
Any ideas on this behaviour would be welcome. Could there be something still hanging around in the entity or view object definitions that is causing this behaviour? I'm really up against it now on this one.
