Jumping text?

Hello,
Does anyone have an idea or know why these elements are moving?
I have a dynamic table where the user can add rows and in one of the columns of the table contains four check boxes. As rows are added to the table they display correctly with in a page. Once the table expands to the second page the check boxes of the first row move, however if you add another row to the table it will display correctly until it jumps to the next page. I doesn't seem to make a difference if the check boxes are grouped or not.
Thank you

Should the problem return, please convert to outlines as a test, so we know if there is a screen redraw problem, or an acutal font conflict/technical problem that would cause the type to print incorrectly.
In CS4 the type engine was changed, so if you open a for example a CS3 file in CS5 your text will not be editable until you use the command type >> legacy text >> convert all legacy text. Type on a path will in most cases reflow, and need to be fixed, area and point type may also reflow.
Defintley delete your .LST, the process is harmless and can correct a corrupted font database file. There are utilities like font finagler that acan clean out your cache http://homepage.mac.com/mdouma46/fontfinagler/

Jumping text issue in RichEditableText

Hi,
I am using text layout framework in my application. I am using RichEditableText for editing the text.
txtComp = new RichEditableText();
txtComp.height = 50;
txtComp.setStyle("lineBreak",LineBreak.EXPLICIT);
txtComp.textFlow.fontSize = 50;
txtComp.multiline = true;
So, now the problem is when we go to new line(one line is fine), the text starts jumping because the height is fixed.
This happens in the single line also, i.e. if we set component height to smaller value than font size value.
I am using Flex 4.1

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.

Text jumping in browser, even when duplicating 2 pages in iWeb

My pages within one website(made in iWeb) are when viewing in a browser, constantly shuffling up or down. Even when i duplicate a page, and only change the text, but not the textbox. Something to do with reproduction in HTML?
Any help much appreciated!, would like to show all my pages in the same "lay-out", without jumping text (on the bottom of the pages)

Crumster,
Is your Made in iWeb badge in your Footer or in the Body Content of the page? Also, it looks as if you are trying to maintain a constant height webpage across your site (in addition to width), right?
I think it might be worth examining the Page Size settings for your pages in the Inspector Page tab. Especially on pages that have some empty space at the bottom, like yours, you might be experiencing some variability of display between the Body Content area of your page and the Footer area of the page. It helps to turn on "Show Layout" under the "View" menu in iWeb to visualize the interplay between Body and Footer. I think to decrease the most variability, you can adjust the Footer value to ZERO and then align your badge and other "footer-type" text in relation to the border of your Content Height setting. Try this and see if it helps.

Woes placing text; need benefit of your experience! [CS4 + JS]

Hi-- I'm working on a routine for importing a number of text documents into InDesign, but have come up with odd behavior when placing text. I'm working with ID CS4 & javascript; all the actions perform the same when doing them manually.
I start with text--actual unformatted text originating from a Word document, but saved as a text file--and with the text tool place it at the cursor position in a paragraph in 'body text' style; the text picks up formatting different than the style, namely the font from 'Headline' style, although pt size & leading are still 'body text' style.
Yet when I cut the same text from a text editor, then paste it at the cursor position, the text appears as I expect, in body text style with no overrides.
This is a small improvement: When I first tried placing the text, it had been coming in with a character style applied. I noticed that the character style being applied was selected in the Quick Apply menu. Un-selecting the character style in the Quick Apply got me to where I am now.
It's driving me nuts that I still can't figure out where the Headline-style font is coming from! Any pointers?
Thanks in advance...
Daniel
p.s.: I'm trying the text import angle to avoid other problems I'd been having importing Word documents, namely importing any Word97-2003 document with highlighted text would crash ID, Word character styles adding direct formatting to the text in ID, etc.

As promised, here is the code, as it stands, for whatever help it can be. The code is specific to my particular uses, but the approach of tagging various direct/character styles from Word, wiping all formatting then reapplying ID styles and removing the tags may be useful.
 ConvertWordBrute.jsx
 Problem: importing from regularly styled Word templated documents to CS4 can be a mess. Even if import presets are exactly set,
 if the Word doc has character styles, text can come in with layered character styles. Applying correct character styles and then
 removing overrides won't fix because character styles and direct formatting are layered on every bit of text and formatting is not
 at all standard. To fix, all character styles AND overrides must be removed to wipe out the strangeness. This script shows one approach
 to keep italic, bold and bold italic direct formatting, and perhaps other stuff to preserve what the writers intended.
 The approach: tag formatting outside of ID's usual facilities, wipe all formatting clear, then apply the proper styles & character styles.
 Presumes:
 --A word import preset has been set...
 --Will need to trap for missing fonts? (e.g. Windings Bold, which is faked in Word; doesn't actually exist!)
 Left @: Works reasonably well. Probably should be run on before layout has sections.
 --Document includes a paragraph style named "Body Text"

Grouping Causes Text Threads to Disappear; Photo commentary with captions

Is there a way to group picutres inside my text frames without making text threads disappear? As soon as I select my text, photos, and jump text, the text threads disappear.
Also, is there a formal way of adding text commentary to a photo? I'd like to use the term "captions" but I know that captions mean a different thing in InDesign.
Thx!

It worked, thanks.
Any information on the picture captions?

Table for entering translation texts

All the query text part works fine, but the RRI jump reads as technical name of the query. Are there any other tables to be edited in order to get this jump texts read French not as query techincal name ?
thanks in advance

I found few tables where translation texts can be entered directly
RSZELTTXT
RSBBSQUERYT
RSCOMPDIR
Basically its all RS* tables...but tons of them...finding the right one is really tedious. I started with switching on trace and found these tables
thanks

Title transition: film dissolve creates jitter in text...how do i stop this madness?!?!?!

in pp6...ive got 48 titles...in each, white text is added to a black background until eventually screen is whited out...problem is, while the text is all perfectly aligned in each title and runs smoothly between titles with no displacement of text, once I add film dissolve between titles my text bounces up and down...ive tried checking for an update since this is an obviously huge bug to have to contend with in such expensive software...but I am all up to date...wondering if someone could point me in the right direction in resolving this issue...as of yet I have yet to find a fix jumping text function...thanks!

Hi there
You do this by changing the Recording preferences.
Click Edit > Preferences... > Recording > Modes and choose one of the modes. Demonstration seems a likely choice.
Select or clear the desired options.

InDesign CS6 issue with type jumping around...

I am pretty proficient with InDesign. I have a newsletter filled with copy. Some of the type is jumping around as though there is a runaround on an something behind it, but there is not. I noticed that if I change the paragraph style from "Basic Paragraph" to "No Paragraph Style" the problem of jumping text goes away, but I have to reformat all of my copy. I built this file myself but it gets passed around to different art directors all the time. I never set up any paragraph styles. Every time I fix it, someone else complains that the text won't stay where they put it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a free moment to finally put an end to this ongoing problem! Thanks!

@Brooklynmc – some screenshots showing the problem would really help.
Before doing these just make sure that you switched off Overprint Preview and switched ON "Show Baseline Grid", "Show Hidden Text" together with "Show Edges"… "Show Guides" would help as well.

Why do the visited states of my hyperlinks don't work?

I have been trying for days and I can't figure it out with tutorials, teachers, google search and trail and error.
My hyperlinks will NOT show a visited state. I set up hyperlink styles, I named them, I applied them to the different text links in my copy and roll over works fine, they link as they are supposed to, but I can't get the visited state to appear. When I return back to the page, they are still all black.
Since this is for a end of the semester project and my entire project kinda builds on these states to work, without the visited states, the "map/timeline" I have created will not make any sense.
Is the anybody that knows what I am doing wrong and can give me a hint on what I should try?
Thanks!

I understood that the styles can only be appied to text, that is why I used actual text bullets (found in most fonts) that are type and not an image. Therefore I thought that the link styles should apply to them just like any other text would be.
By now I have tried applying the style to the text frame,... to the selected character itself,...I have tried in different orders in which I first applied the link, then the style, or first the style and then the link - I have tried it with deselecting in between and keeping it selected through out...I have used regular text, letters and numbers, I have even created an entirely new file without any editing to see if my file might have problems. Nothing changed the fact that the visited link did not change the color. I understand the security issues you have mentioned before, but just for an example, reddit is still using the visited state. There has got to be a way, just not one I will be able to find before I have to have this done.
Anyway, I certainly appreciate your feedback and I am looking forward in using Muse in the future. Even though it has quiet a few limitations, since this is just the beginning, there is a lot of promise for the future.
Would you mind looking at my other 2 questions?
...is there a dimension limit to how long I can make a horizontally scrollable webpage? For the ipad the image resolution is pretty big and so lining up 8-9 full background images back-to-back next to each other makes for a huge file. I tried it and started to have some issues with jumping text boxes. Could that be because of the file size?
Can I use page anchors to link from child pages back to a certain spot on the main "home", or are anchor points just for the navigation within one contained long page?

Project compile to Help

I use italized green text for the hot spot for expanded text
and dropdowns. I have been working on a project for three months
and compile and save a backup every night. However, today a
compiled project makes all my expanded and dropdowns look like
jumps in the Help. They still perform as expected, but the
appearance has changed and not differentiated from the jumps text.
I have selected all topics, edited the assigned the Style Sheet
Appearance assignment and have the same result.
Any ideas??? Thanks

Craig,
I had not made any changes to styles for quite a while (month
or more). When this event occurred, I made several attempts to edit
the topic in the latest work completed before compiling. But each
compile resulted in the same event.
I selected all topics in accordance to the RoboHelp Help,
then Properties Appearances tab. I checked all the bold items and
they were still as original. That is, the Drop-down hotspot and
Expanding hotspot all the same; Hyperlink + color: Green, cursor:
hand; fint-style: italic; x-text-underline: off; x-text-overline:
off; x-text-line-through: off; font-size: 10pt.
Expanding text; SPAN + font-style: italic; font-weight:
normal: color: Teal; font-size: 10pt; x-text-underline: Off;
As a matter of fact I can select the style sheet
(HtmlHelp.css) and make some edits, but the Apply button does not
enable. When I made the last edit prior to my original email, I did
check the original stype sheet. I had two listed in the projects
tab: default.css and HtmlHelp.css. I checked the edits in the
Appearance tab and I do not remember if the Apply button was
active, but I assume that it was since I now only have the
HtmlHelp.css listed in the project tab Syple Sheets folder.
I still get the expanded and drop downs appearing in the
color Blue and underlined just as the Hyperlink.
Any suggestions????
Thanks, Bruce

Deactivating/Activating Data Slice Function

Hi, I'd also like a copy of the document of how to implement a Function to Activate or Deactivate a Data Slice.
Reward points guaranteed.

Hello Jesus,
Here is the Report Code.
This code was written as Programm without involving the BPS planning functions, because it was meant to be included in the Process chains.
When you wish flexibility, for example to operate it in the Web using planning functions then, then you have to :
1) create a planing function of type exit.
2.a) You would then move the code in the "Init exit function". Fill the code mentioned below with necessary changes.
2.b) The second exit function would be then an empty function module.
3) In the Web Interface Builder you would create a Button component of type "Function Button" and set the properties to the planning function you created in steps 1-2.
Thanks and Good Luck!
P.S.
When you require the screenshots, then let me know your mail id.

Titles rendering problems in HD res.

Hello.
I have the most annoying problems with some titles rendering incorrectly when i export movies in HD quality (720).
The problems occur when i use titles such as "Drifting" and "Sideways Drift". In preview everything looks fine the title appears normaly above the video clip. But when I render it in High quality the text movements gets all screwed up and the whole picture jumps a bit.
This happens only during title motions in some titles. If I, however, render the same clip but in "medium quality"everything looks fine. The same goes problems occur when i export via QuickTime.
Anny ideas as to what might cause this strange problem?

Good catch, but this trick didn't work for me.
I've made a tiny test file with just a video clip of a few seconds following a green background with the "Sideways Drift" title applied over the background. I can delete ALL transitions from this project and I still get blotchy, jumping text over the green background. In all my tests I export via Quicktime to an AIC file at HDV1080i.
I've also tried switching out the video clip and deleting-and-replacing the background and titles. None of that worked. I have to conclude that the "Sideways Drfit" title simply doesn't work for HD projects.
I'm going to try a few different export settings. Can you recall exactly what worked for you?
[Update] The problem goes away when I export to AIC at the HDV 720p setting. The HDV 1080P setting gave the problem, as did exporting to "Apple HD 1080i60".

Highlighting text jumps all over - doesn't work - help

Can't get the text highlighting to work. Seems like when I try to highlight, the browser does "whatever it wants, except highlight what I want. Clicking repeatedly causes it to jump around like some kind os a sppoky game!!!! What the hell is this? I never had this problem before the current version of Firefox. I think I will have to abandon Firefox for a browser that actually works, like Chrome.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

OSX update 10.10.2 causes mouse to jump around and text to be highlighted randomly in Dreamweaver CC 2014

OSX update 10.10.2 causes mouse to jump around and text to be highlighted randomly in Dreamweaver CC. When trying to click on a specific line of code in a js file the cursor ends up in a different place in the script and several lines of code highlighted. Clicking again jumps the mouse to a different position and even more lines of code highlighted and some characters rearranged, breaking the lines of code. Very frustrating.

Preran,
I am having the same issue. I have a MBP connected to 2 x Dell 27" monitors over Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cables. Once I updated to OS X 10.10.2 this cursor highlight/jumping around issue only occurs on the connected monitors. If I move the program to the main laptop display the issue goes away. It does not require me to restart the program or the machine to make it work correctly. One way I am able to identify the issue is if I go to the line numbers in code like I wanted to select multiple lines - in the one that works correctly, the cursor turns into a white version where the tip of the cursor points to the right. When it is wrong, the cursor stays black and will only have the tip point to the left. Its just another way I identified if it was working cause I tried uninstalling DW and reinstalling - didn't work. Reset preferences as you discussed - no go. And I used other editors like IntelliJ and Adobe Edge Code - all of which work fine and don't display this issue.
I tried the preferences reset you suggest and it doesn't work. I have another machine with OS X 10.10.1 on it and this issue is not there on any monitor. Any help with this ASAP as it pretty much stops you from being able to do any editing especially with longer pages as it consistently wants to page up when you select anything and if you then click again in another area it tries to move the highlighted code to that new spot.
Update: I have a USB Microsoft Arch touch mouse connected (always worked just fine). When I go to place my cursor at some point in the code it causes the highlight flicker. If I switch over and use the built in trackpad, then I can place the cursor without the highlight issue. When trying to select multiple lines or sections of code, that still see's the highlight, page up and move of code issues regardless of input type.

Jumping text?
