FW CS3 Text bug?

After working in Fireworks all weekend for loads of site
navigational elements, I now have to change the font size for a
great many entries. For some unfathomable reason, Fireworks CS3 now
suddenly refuses to change font sizes in those documents.
Actually, it does change size in 1 out of 5 documents (they
are all copies of each other, in different languages).
But only as long as I don't open any of the other 4 documents
and try to change something there -- do that
before I open the one working document, and it stops working
as well. Do that
after making changes in that one document, and it stops
working too.
All of these documents use the
exact same font (same size, same colour)!
The "helpful" warning says «Could not complete your
request. The selection was incorrect for this operation.» and
only appears once, unless I quit and restart Fireworks.
Using the Editor by right-clicking into the text field,
everything works OK.
How can I get FW back to usable state... any ideas? Rebooting
does not help.
(MacBook Pro, 3GB RAM, OS X 10.4.9, Fireworks CS3)
TIA!

Are you sure the text hasn't been converted to paths?

Check the layers panel to be sure the mask group hasn't been
flattened.

Photoshop adds a stroke to my text -- bug?

Good afternoon!
I have several Photoshop CS3 files that are exhibiting a strange problem. This symptop ONLY happens when I create a new text layer in one of these files.
I create a new text layer and type some text. Then when I select part of the text and set it to a differnet color (so there are two separate colors being used in the same text layer), the text takes on a dark outline/stroke around it. No layer/blending options show that the text should be stroked. As soon as I change the text back to all one color, the stroke goes away.
I've attached a screenshot of the affected text.
What could be causing this? I've searched for a known PS CS3 bug but can't find one. If I create a new file, this symptom does not appear. But the affected file(s) behave exactly the same problematic way on any workstation they're opened on.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
--Rob

No, no Layer Style.
I've found that if I choose "Reset Character" in the character palette, the stroke goes away and the layer (and newly created layers) behaves normally after that. But changing the settings in the character palette manually have no effect on the stroke.. Are there settings that are changed by "reset character" that aren't visible on that palette?

Fp11 text bug | mask bug

1. FP11 and fp10.3.183.5 text bug:
2. fp11 fla have one mask will lead to dynamic text can not be show.

I've worked out how to fix it, I posted 2 bug reports by accident:
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=2951270
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=2951267
Title
How to fix the vertical text bug.
Description
Problem Description:
Many of my textfields display vertically. In other words, 1 char per line.
Steps to Reproduce:
Possibly by using Flash CS3 to create textfields.
I think the bug began in the lastest FlashPlayer update.
Actual Result:
Text displays 1 char per line with many textfields
Expected Result:
It should display properly
Any Workarounds:
The cause for this is a hidden property in textfields called "left"
Please see the attached file DomDocument.xml.
If you look at the first 3 textboxes in the xml, they have very large x values and very large "left" values to counteract the x value.
If you remove the "left" property then it will work properly, as shown in the 4th textfield

After Effects CS3 - Text layer bugging, goes to upper corner always

Hi!
I'm using AE cs3, it has worked fine but suthenly it started to do following...
When I create a new textlayer, put it wherever on the screen and type out my text, it insist on appearing in the left upper corner. After I created it, i move the bounding box around, scale it rotate etc, the text just keeps staying there, in the top left corner slightly outside, it doesnt respond to any transformation adjusting...
ANNOYING...
But when I make the text layer 3d, it appears in the bounding box and is editable like normally... without 3d cam or anything. Have I by accident hit som weird switch or is it corrupted?

Indesign CS3 text frame parameters and export PDF

could use some help with the following:
I need to edit and export a large number (7000) Indesign documents (one page)
1. check for locked text frames and unlock
2. group all text frames
3. set grouped text frames at x=8 millimeters, y 10 milimeters
4. export the documents to PDF in a subfolder called "Out"
5. save and close the documents in the same subfolder as an Indesign CS3 document (orig is CS2)
This is what I've been trying soo far:
Now only checking one text frame - should be all text frames
"close document 1 saving yes" doesn't work because the originals are from CS2
I get a PDF called "Adobe Indesign SC3"
set processFolder to choose folder with prompt "Choose a folder that contains Innd Docs to process"
tell application "Finder"
if not (exists folder "OUT" of processFolder) then
make new folder at processFolder with properties {name:"OUT"}
end if
set the destination_folder to folder "OUT" of processFolder as alias
end tell
tell application "Finder"
try
set listFiles to (files of contents of processFolder) as alias list
on error
set listFiles to (files of contents of processFolder) as alias as list
end try
repeat with thisFile in listFiles
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
with timeout of 120 seconds
activate
set properties of view preferences to {horizontal measurement units:millimeters, vertical measurement units:millimeters, ruler origin:page origin}
open thisFile
set myDoc to document 1
set docName to name
tell myDoc
set transform reference point of layout window 1 to top left anchor
set myBox to text frame 1 of page 1
set properties of myBox to {locked:false}
move myBox to {8, 10}
end tell
export document 1 format PDF type to (destination_folder as string) & docName & ".pdf" using PDF export preset "[Drukwerkkwaliteit]" without showing options
close document 1 saving yes
tell application "Finder" to move thisFile to destination_folder with replacing
end timeout
end tell
end repeat
end tell
end
end
Any help is greatly appreciated - Doing this manually is a lot of work!!!!!
Peter

You're asking for the name of the application, not the document -- you need to do it after your "tell myDoc". You could also get the name from the alias you open, rather than the open document, something like: repeat with thisFile in listFiles set oldDelims to AppleScript's text item delimiters set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {":"} set docName to text item -1 of (thisFile as Unicode text) set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelims You should also move your "set properties of view preferences" line to after your "tell myDoc". -- Shane Stanley <[email protected]>

[JS] ID CS3 Closure Bug (?)

Hi folks,
trying to get a CS4 script compatible with ID CS3 (), I discover today a deeppitfall relating to variable scopes and closures.
It appears that ID CS3 may unexpectedly lost the access to a "closed" local variable when an outer variable shares the same name with it. I say "unexpectedly" because it's not the way JavaScript is supposed to work. The confusing fact is that this bug (?) is fixed in CS4, so the same code has two behaviors according to the version:
var outerFct = (function()
     var v = 'v in outerFct';
     var innerFct = (function()
          var v = 'v in innerFct'; // v hides locally outer-v
          var w = 'w in innerFct'; // no conflict with any outer var
          return function() { alert(v + ' - ' + w); }
     innerFct();
// Results:
// ID CS4 alerts 'v in innerFct - w in innerFct' (as expected)
// ID CS3 alerts 'v in outerFct - w in innerFct' (!!!)
Thus, when you create a closure and need to invoke a local variable from a local function, be aware of outer variable names (if you script for CS3).
Let me know if you see the same things on your OS.

Use this format: "\u03BB". E.g.
myString.replace ("\u03BB", "\u006B");

[IDS CS3]A Bug of InDesign CS3 Server?

Hi, all
I'm using SOAP to run InDesign CS3 Server scripts, and I found TestClient doesn't work with option "-server". When I want to run a file on the server machine, it always returns an error number 44 to me.
My same tests on InDesign CS2 Server work fine, so I think it maybe a bug of InDesign CS3 server.
Anybody also working on InDesign CS3 Server? Thanks very much!
Nicole

I am using InDesign CS3 Server and testclient.
I can use -server parameter with testclient, it works fine.
I don't know why you cannot.

Lists doesn't work with synchronized text - bug or limitation?

Whenever I put a text to a collection to synchronize it, the list feature is no longer available for this text. Is it a bug or a limitation? It may be a tricky task to bring this two features together, but it is a substantial one.

Currently limited to the same formatting for the entire text frame and no internal structure (no lists or inline graphics). Request noted.

PS CS3 Text Tool No Spaces in OSX Lion

Hi. I still use CS3 (sorry!) and just bought a new machine running Lion. (Note: It's a MacBookAir and both PS and LR scream on it!)
I transferred CS3 over using Migration Assistant. Seems to work fine, except the separate words in the Text Tool get run together, i.e. it does not support spaces between words. Could this just be a "Preferences" item somewhere? Seems similar to the ol' HTML issue, except HTML even allows you for one space between words. On PS, I get none.

This is an issue with "Helvetica Neue Bold". See: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/912/cpsid_91264.html
Try another font or another facetype and it will work.

GDB Startup Text - Bug?

Every time I run my project, I get something like the following output in the Debugger Console:
\[Session started at 2010-07-29 00:06:57 -0700.]
GNU gdb 6.3.50-20050815 (Apple version gdb-1469) (Wed May 5 04:36:56 UTC 2010)

Hello World.

Debugger stopped.
Program exited with status value:0.
I did a bunch of digging to see why this was the case, and it seems that this is not normal behavior. So I tried to check if for some reason Xcode was running GDB without the -q (quiet) flag. I wrote a short shell script and substituted it for the copy of gdb which Xcode uses (/Developer/usr/libexec/gdb/gdb-i386-apple-darwin) and found that Xcode is executing gdb with the following arguments: "--arch x86_64 --interp=mi1 -q"
So.. it should indeed be running in quiet mode, yet I get that long block of copyright text EVERY time I run my code. What am I missing?
EDIT: Interesting.. I just modified my script to strip the -q off, and then when executed I got all of the gdb copyright crap twice. Is this just built into Xcode?
EDIT2: So I guess this is just a part of life when you're using Xcode? It seems very unnecessary and obtrusive. Is there a way to disable that text?

Not that I know of. I suggest you file a bug report with Apple if it bugs you that much. Maybe check it in Xcode4 first.

Photoshop CS3 Text engine Not functioning

Hi all,
wonder if any of u guys here have this error ...
whenever i tried to type text using the type tool .. it always got hang ... in turn i have to close the application ... slightly earlier ard december, there's this error msg stating something like " something is preventing your text engine from functioning." now it get slightly better but still hang when u click commit[a green tick at the top] .. ani help ??
Thanks in advance ...

I am experiencing this as well - plus not all of my fonts being enumerated unless they are copied (yes, I have to duplicate all my fonts) in the /program files/common files/adobe/fonts folder.
This is seriously annoying - I don't believe the fonts are corrupted because they work in other applications including Illustrator CS3 (however it doesn't recognize all the fonts either - but at least it doesn't hang)
This is a very serious problem.

Flash 8 display 'jumping text' Bug after Blur filter

I think I found a display bug/glitch with blur effect in
Flash 8.
(I'm using the MC TWEEN actionscript method.)
I need to apply a blur filter to a Movieclip with dynamic
text.
When scrolling this Movieclip the text 'jumps' about causing
visual glitch
and a slow down...
I have tweened the blur filter back to 0 and I have also set
Movieclip.filters=[];
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is there a fix?
Thanks,
David

If this problem is reproducible, than submit to a bug list at

Perhaps could be eliminated in future release.

Formatting text - bugs?

Hi
Whilst I'm here I thought I had better get this off my chest
too.
I've been editing some text recently, adding bold to certain
words, etc. Now when I go back into any text box the formatting
disappears from the text within it. On one occassion I underlined
some text in one box, went to another slide to edit some text and
when I opened it all the text suddenly appeared underlined. Any
ideas? This isnt a show stopper but it is wasting some time.
Help appreciated.

Welcome to our community, ntompkins
What you are seeing is a bug that was introduced with the
recent update of Captivate. Adobe is supposedly working on an
"update to fix the update". But we haven't heard anything from them
yet. Hopefully it will come soon, as this bug is driving me nuts
too!
Cheers... Rick

[Mac CS3] Text Encoding of Snow Leopard

Hi,
I'm trying to write some multi-byte characters to a text file, but instead of one multi-byte character, some strange characters like this :
 <AE40>
This should be like this character:
 他
This problem arise only with Mac OS 10.6(Snow Leopard). With Mac OS X 10.5(Leopard) I have no problem at all.
Pls kindly help me with this.
Thanks in advance!
Kimex
The following methods are the codes I used to write folder name to a text file.
Method 1.
IDFile txtFile(filepath);
PMString myString(folderpath); //folderpath is PMString of selected folder.
FileUtils::NormalizeUnComposedUnicodeChars(myString);
FILE* fh= FileUtils::OpenFile(txtFile, "wt");
if(fh!=NULL)
 fprintf(fh, "%s", myString.GrabCString());
 fclose(fh);
Method 2.
InterfacePtr<IPMStream> txtFileOutStream(StreamUtil::CreateFileStreamWrite(txtFile));
if ( txtFileOutStream->GetStreamState() == kStreamStateGood )
 FileUtils::NormalizeUnComposedUnicodeChars(myString);
 int32 len = myString.CharCount();
 char *buffur=myString.GrabCString();
 txtFileOutStream->XferByte((uchar *)buffur,len);
 txtFileOutStream->Flush();
 txtFileOutStream->Close();

I can't see your problem.
I can write the file path including "他" character to the file in Shift-JIS.
I have tried with my plug-in for InDesign CS4 on Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6.
I don't try with InDesign CS3, InDesign CS3 isn't supported for 10.6. (I haven't installed.)

Belle agenda: afterglow of text bug

C6-01 Belle (Dutch), weird problem: when I want to add an appointment in the calendar/agenda, I get an "afterglow" of the text I did put in. Because of this it's almost impossible to see what I did type.
For example the attached image: I did put in some text and then removed it completely with backspace. The input part should be completely clean and empty yet there is an "afterglow" of what I did type before? When I start to type again, it's impossible to see what's been typed.
Typing text with for SMS, adding contacts and so on is just fine. It's only with with adding appointments. So it's not a bad screen issue.
This really needs to be fixed asap IMHO
Attachments:

Bump.
It's a real issue cause I can not see what I type anymore. Anyone know something about it or how to report a bug about Belle? Not through Dutch Nokia Care cause I tried that twice now for other issues and only got what looked like totally useless auto responses with so called "solutions".
