I think I've found a bug... (CS 4 6.0.4, export to EPUB, w/ test case)

Hi everyone,
I think I've found a bug. I suppose I would like to see if others can reproduce it - I've managed to on 2 work machines, but the more the merrier. I suppose I'm also hoping that giving this bug more exposure will increase the likelihood of it getting resolved. I can dream
The bug shows itself when exporting an InDesign document (or book) to "Digital Editions", or as an EPUB file. The InDesign source needs to have a Table of Contents, and this TOC has to be used by the EPUB to create TOC entries (see the "contents" tab of the export window). In certain cases, using the InDesign TOC causes the EPUB export to garble certain characters; unicode-specific characters, in my experience.
Steps to reproduce:
Create a new document, add a blank text frame and fill it with placeholder text. add a heading to this text frame, styled appropriately.
Create a table of contents, using the heading style you defined and used previously.
Add some unicode characters to the end of your text frame. I've been using "bêche-de-mer — a genus", which has 2 unicode characters. My tests have shown about 1715 characters in the text frame is enough to trigger this bug.
Save the document and export to digital editions. under the "contents" tab, check the "include indesign TOC entries" option.
Open the EPUB (or unzip it and view the xhtml content). I would expect to see "bêche-de-mer — a genus" at the end. However, I see something more like "b√™che-de-mer ‚Äî a genus" instead. I do see the correct output if I don't check the "include indesign TOC entries" option when exporting to EPUB.
I've confirmed the fonts I've tried are unicode-compliant and have the relevant character codes. I'm running the latest update to InDesign CS4 (6.0.4) on OSX 10.4.11. This character encoding problem doesn't manifest itself in the PDF or IDML export, only the EPUB export. Choosing whether or not to include embedded fonts in the EPUB doesn't make a difference to the outcome. I have run this test on my machine and a workmates, which is OSX 10.5.[something]
I'll attach a test document to see if others can reproduce this bug. I'd be interested to hear if others can, or cannot reproduce it. I have submitted a bug report at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform, but that doesn't exactly imbue me with confidence that anything will get done in a hurry...
This problem is pretty annoying; I can either have EPUB navigation, or uncorrupt text. My current (proposed) workaround is for the operator to create 2 EPUBs, one with a TOC and one without, and merge the two together... EPUB transplant if you will. A bit ugly....
thanks for listening!

Hiya Joe (and Archie)
It is indeed an annoying bug - I spent a few days looking around it before posting (wow, it must be nearly a year ago now).
Fortunately, it really is straightforward (if a bit of a hassle) to workaround:
- make 2 EPUBs, identical except one will have a TOC generated (epub-a), the other will not (epub-b)
- extract the TOC file from epub-a and insert it into epub-b
remembering that EPUB is a zip package, this is very easy indeed. On OSX you have /usr/bin/zip and /usr/bin/unzip to assist with extraction / insertion in a script (bash, applescript, etc). I don't think Windows comes with command-line zip programs, so you'd need to hunt around a bit.
Good luck. I don't know if this is resolved in the latest 6.0.5 patch - if you haven't updated to that, it might be worth a shot. And if you have and it's still a problem, please respond to this message just so there's a log stating as much.

Dear Apple, unfortunately, I think I have found a bug in ios 7. During an incoming call is no call rejection or selection of the ability to send a text message. I hope it is a bug and there is a solution. Thank you very much.

I think that I found a bug in the new iTunes 8.0 PC

I don't know if this is a bug or not, but has anyone notice that when you click on an item "link" in iTunes and if your mouse pointer remains on the link that you just click on, that the page will not move to the link until you move your pointer off the link?
My system:
Vista 64bit
AMD Athlon 3.2Mzh X2 64bit
2gig ddr3 ram
20gig sata hard drive

Its not just you. It does this for me as well. In fact it does the same on some of the buttons as well.

FAQ: I found a bug. How do I write a useful bug report? Or send bug files to Adobe?

If you think you've found a bug in Photoshop CS6, please post your findings here on the forums.
Here is a list of the information we'll want for you to gather at a minimum:
Clear and concise steps so that someone who isn't in front of your comptuer can reproduce the issue you are seeing
Include information on the operating system/version you are running. (e.g. "Mac OS 10.7.3" or "Win XP Service Pack 3")
Here are some more detailed instructions for writing a useful, complete bug report for us on the forums:
Provide a descriptive title that includes your OS information:Example: "Photoshop crashes when I save a JPEG file using the File>Save For Web & Devices... command (Mac OS 10.7.3)"
Provide concise, step-by-step details on how to reproduce the issue you are seeing.
Example:
Open an 8-bit, RGB image by selecting File>Open...
Create a new layer by clicking the "Create New Layer" button on the bottom of the Layers panel
Paint on the layer created in Step #2 using the default Brush tool
Choose File>Save For Web & Devices...
Make sure the optimized format is set to "JPEG" and set the Quality setting to "80"
Click the Save button at the bottom of the Save For Web & Devices dialog, choose the desktop as the location for saving the file
Provide a description of the "Result" you are observing:
Example: "Result: Photoshop crashes"
If there is an error dialog, please include the exact wording displayed in the dialog or provide a screen shot or video of the entire screen so we can see the dialog as well as the state of the application - i.e. what panels are shown, the state of the Layers panel, etc.
If the error is a visual defect, either in the user interface or the image itself, provide a screen shot or video of the entire screen so we can see the dialog as well as the state of the application - i.e. what panels are shown, the state of the Layers panel, etc.
Provide a description of the "Expected Result":
Example: "Expected Result: Photoshop to save JPEG file to the desktop, no crash"
In some cases this may be obvious (such as in the case of a crash) but in others, what you expect to happen may be different than what the application was designed to do. Please be as specific as possible.
Provide the crash log by submitting all crash reports, including your email address, for every single crash your encounter:
You may also include the contents of your crash log in your forum posts as well, but always submit them using the above instructions as well.
Crash logs are located on Macintosh here: Users/<your user name>/Library/Logs/CrashReporter
Provide your System Info from Photoshop: What's even more useful is if you can share your System Info from Photoshop as it contains all kinds of useful information (OS/version, graphics card, driver version, 3rd party plug-ins used, etc) that will help the team track down your issue.
On occasion, the Photoshop engineers may request that you provide problematic files in order to reproduce and debug your issue.
In these cases, please post the file somewhere using your own servers or one your favorite online document/distribution services and provide a URL/instructions to download the file:
Dropbox
Adobe SendNow
YouSendIt
If the file isn't something you can post publically, you can request that someone from the engineering team contact you to figure out a secure way to get the affected files.
Thanks,
The Photoshop Development Team

First thing would be to realise the exact error. Second would be to check your logs to see what you have installed/upgraded which might be causing this error. Third, google your error and see if matches turn up. Fourth, search in Arch bugtracker to see if a match exist. Else file a report.

Found a bug?

Hey
I think I've found a bug but I'm not exactly sure.
Whenever I fun an application that temporarily changes the shortcuts on the mouse or keyboard, all my leopard shortcuts are erased and I have to redo them.
For example, multiple times after playing WoW I've noticed my click wheel or the F12 shortcuts don't work for dashboard anymore. They become unchecked in the system preferences.
Does anyone else have this problem, and if so, do we report it to apple?
If no one else has this problem, how do I fix this?
Thanks
Rob.

Once you've ruled out incompatible apps, send a bug report (or enhancement request) to Apple via its Bug Reporter system. Join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report/enhancement request. You'll get a get a Bug (ER) ID number; thus, starting a dialog directly with engineering.

I found a bug in iOS 4.3.3 - Long voice memos

Hello,
i found a bug in iOS 4.3.3 for my iPhone 3GS
Long voice memos can not be played
In these cases, the iPhone saves the file not in the format M4A or can not open this file.
This file is stored in the folder /var/mobile/Media/Recordings
In This cases there can be find a file in the format MOV.
During recording, the voice memo has the format MOV.
When the voice memo stopped the file must be stored in the format M4A.
For large files, there are currently problems.
I use the program iPhone Explorer and save the MOV-file on my computer.
Now i can open it with QuickTime.
Best regards from Germany!

Does anyone have problems occasionally with their slide to unlock on iphone 4s with the ios7 update? And do you think there will be a bug fix? Bit worried

Hi everyone,
I've recently updated my iphone 4s with the ios7 update and there was a bug fix I also downloaded recently but I hadn't noticed anything wrong at the time. I know it's not happened that often today but does anyone have any problems with their 'slide to unlock' button and have to reload their iphone again? Do you think there'll be a bug fix for it? Just worried as it's not old and I have a feeling I shouldn't have bothered with the update at all.

Why would you think it's a bug? If it were a bug EVERYONE would be having the same issue.
Basics from the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.

Sync Issues with iPhone 4/4S? I think I've found the problem.

Hello all!
I and quite a few others here have had syncing issues with our iPhone 4, and I think I've found a solution. I use an application called iToner 2 to create my ringtones, and after deleting all my iToner 2 created ringtones, I have no more sync issues.
If you are using any type of application that is designed to work with the iPhone and iTunes, I would suggest you not use it until it gets updated to work with iTunes 10.5 and iOS5.
I hope this helps.
Mike.

I think that this is a bug in text field!

Hi!
Steps:
1.create Frame
2.create text field (textFieldTest1) and add in frame
3.create text field (textFieldTest2) and add in frame.
4. show frame
5.enter some text in textFieldTest1 and stay here.
6.Minimize frame.
7.Open again frame
8.The caret is invisible in textFieldTest1. I double click in textFieldTest1 but caret don't show. I can enter text again in textFieldTest1 but caret is invisible. I press left and right arrows in textFieldTest1 and enter text, but caret is invisible.It's very confuse.
9.Click mouse in textFieldTest2
10.Click mouse in textFieldTest1 and caret is now visible.
I think that this is a bug in swing.
What are think about this?
Thank you.

I meant for you to include code that I could cut and paste and execute to see if I had the same problem on my machine. I had to play with the code you gave to get it to compile. Make it easy for me to test. Anyway I did get it to compile and again it did work for me. here is the code I ended up testing:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
public class Main extends JFrame
     public Main()
super("Time");
setBounds(300, 200, 400, 200);
Container cont = this.getContentPane();
cont.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
setDefaultCloseOperation(this.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
JTextField textField1 = new JTextField(10);
cont.add(textField1);
cont.add(new JLabel("label1"));
JTextField textField2 = new JTextField(10);
cont.add(textField2);
cont.add(new JLabel("label2"));
setVisible(true);
     public static void main(String[] args)
          JFrame frame = new Main();

I think I've found a bug... (CS 4 6.0.4, export to EPUB, w/ test case)
