Odd behavior when duplicating pages
I have run into some odd behavior when duplicating pages.
First I spent many hours trying to acomplish a double trigger effect in which the last trigger opened a large image in a pop up window. Thanks to help from agm 123 and Sachin Hasija see the posts here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5186239#5186239
And the result here: http://ljusa.businesscatalyst.com/stockholm--1.html
I had to do a number of work arounds, but succeeded and will help anyone interested to reproduce this type of effect.
My next step was to recreate this effect for another 50 pages. The best way I have found is to duplicate the first page. This is where it gets weird.
When I create a duplicate and replace the images in the newly created pages (done by changing the fill to the new image) with different ones and save it the changes are effected on the original page, not the clone. No big problem, just switch the names and continue.
The next problem that occurs is that when I go to make further copies a variety of odd behaviors creep in. The biggest problem is a repositioning or resizing of photo frames/containers. The images do not change, just move as the frame resizes. When I try to resize the frame it snaps back to it's larger new size. This is a phenomenon that I have seen in other instances in work with lightboxes and slideshows. It seems that some other unseen element has jumped into the frame with the original frame.
The method I have used to create these pages is as described in the post at: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5186239#5186239
It involves creating a blank composition widget and then placing a composition lightbox widget trigger into the blank hero.
I have already invested more time than I should have on this and would like to keep it simple, yet as I have 50 pages to go I could start from scratch if someone has a better method of doing this.
Suggestions?
Just an update.
I haven't seen the naming problem with duoplicates reoccur. I am however still stuggling with duplicates.
I have a page with 5 image frames linked to images which in turn trigger a lightbox. When I create a duplicate of a page there is always at least one of my image frames that moves and or a link to an image that is dead. The only recourse I have had is to recreate one of the lifgtboxes for each new page I create. With all the formatting this is time consuming.
I have tried copying and pasting the entire page into a blank page, but then there are even more problems.
I have also tried to save my lightbox as a graphic style, but that dooesn't seem to work either.
Please Help! I've got at least 45 more of these pages to replicate1

Odd Behavior with Multi-page Forums
I have observed an odd behavior, when navigating multi-page forums.
As an example, I use the Premiere Elements Tips & Tricks sub-forum often, to link to helpful articles. It is, like most, a multi-page forum.
As the order of the articles will change, as new replies are added, I often need to navigate to multiple pages, to find the one that I need. My bookmark opens that forum onto Page 1, which is normal. I then scroll that page, looking for what I want. If it is not there, I will use either the Next, or the Page 2 buttons to move on. As I have scrolled to the bottom of Page 1, the Next (or Page 2) page will open at the bottom, rather than at the top, the first time that I do this. Pages 3, and above, will always open at the top. Also, if I go back to Page 2, it now opens at the top. I only see this, when going from Page 1, to Page 2, and then, only the first time. Odd, but no deal breaker, as I just manually scroll back to the top of Page 2, and then scroll down, looking for a particular article.
I am on Chrome and Win XP-Pro SP-3. I have not yet tried in IE 7 - my latest version.
Has anyone else experienced this little anomaly?
HuntAdobe-admin,
Sorry, but I am out of "points... "
Thank you for the input. I just found it slightly odd behavior, and all that it means is a bit of scrolling, now that I know what to expect. In most cases, the average user probably does not go to Page 2 of a forum, but many of us do. If it becomes a pain, I'll just jump quickly to Page 3, and then back to Page 2.
Hey, Adobe never promised to make my life perfect - just better... I can easily live with this, but thought I'd ask, in case it was OE on my part.
Appreciated,
Hunt -
Odd behavior when using custom Composite/CompositeContext and antialiasing
Hi,
I created a custom Composite/CompositeContext class and when I use it with antialiasing it causes a black bar to appear. I seems it has nothing to do with the compose() code but just that fact that I set my own Composite object. The submitted code will show you what I mean. There are 3 check boxes 1) allows to use the custom Composite object, 2) allows to ignore the compose() code in the CompositeContext and 3) toggles the antialiasing flag in the rendering hints. When the antialiasing flag is set and the Composite object is used the bar appears regardless of if the compose() method is executed or not. If the Composite object is not used the bar goes away.
The Composite/CompositeContext class performs clipping and gradient paint using a Ellipse2D.Float instance.
a) When the Composite is not used the code does a rectangular fill.
b) When the Composite is used it should clip the rectangular fill to only the inside of a circle and do a gradient merge of background color and current color.
c) If the compose() method is ignored then only the background is painted.
d) When antialiasing is turned on the black bar appears, i) if you ignore the compose() method it remains, ii) if you do not use the Composite object the bar disappears (???)
NOTE: the compose method's code is only for illustration purposes, I know that AlphaComposite, clipping and/or Gradient paint can be used to do what the example does. What I am trying to find out is why the fact of simply using my Composite object with antialiasing will cause the odd behavior. Been trying to figure it out but haven't, any help is appreciated.
Thx.

User gets odd behavior when print previewing calendar
User calls with an odd problem.
She is using 32 bit IE 9 with our SP 2010 farm.
She goes to her department calendar. She sees events.
She presses Print Preview. No events are shown on the page.
She tries to export the data to Outlook - it tells her there is too much data.
She calls me.
I look - her default view is running into the resource throttling of the farm. So I try to create a unique view that only shows this week's events.
It works fine for me. Print preview and printing work as well.
When she looks at it in her browser, it works fine.
When she tries to print preview - no events show up on the preview page.
She tries to export from the new view - Outlook gets no events.
She is using IE9, so the IE7 comments in old threads are not relevant.
I set the web part configuration to 12 inches as one conversation suggestions. That doesn't help.
Does anyone else have any ideas of things to try?When I look at the custom calendar within SharePoint Designer, the page has a ListView Web Part but not an XsltListViewWebPart.
I have tried several times to step through blog entries that describe editing the page, setting the view of the web part, etc. At one point whatever I tried turned the calendar view into a list view ... sigh. I created a new calendar view and made it
the default.
I have asked the user to try the print preview out today to see if it works for her after I created the new view.
The really odd thing about all of this is that at least 2 people don't have the problem with not seeing event data in the print preview.
It _almost_ sounds like some sort of machine specific issue she is having.
I wonder if I should ask the admins to repair Office 2010 on her machine to make certain the DLLs are all working properly. -
Active Directory: Odd behavior when accessing network shares
I'm not very clear on how OS X handles AD integration, but I'm having an odd problem, perhaps someone may know the answer.
AD is bound and working properly.
I am successfully logging in with an AD account that is set to 'mobile' mode.
Two questions:
1. Why is it that when I access a share that I have rights to access, I am prompted for my user name and password? I am already logged in with a domain account and validated by the domain controller. This is not a big problem, but I am curious.
2. Why is it that I am denied access to some shares, and others I can connect to but cannot see their contents, yet logged into a Windows machine with the same AD account, I can access all of them just fine? This one is a big problem.
I'm hoping there are just more things I need to configure to get it to work. Either way, I'm having fun learning all of this.
Thanks,

Indesign CC 2014 crashes when duplicated pages within pages panel
running InDesign CC 2014 - mavericks 10.9.3. If I have content on say page one and within the pages panel I click and drag page one to the new page icon (something I do all the time to duplicate a page and it's content) it crashes InDesign. This is happening when I have copy pasted gradient mesh objects from illustrator to indesign. they paste in just fine, and I can copy paste those objects around, but not the whole page within the page panel
Hello march67,
Thanks for the test file. We could reproduce the crash.
We've identified the reason for the crash in your file. The problematic object is the RSS feed icon at the top right of the spread.
We've determined a fix for the crash and it should be available to all users in one of the upcoming patches. In the meanwhile, to prevent the crash, you could use the following workaround : Cut this object onto the clipboard. Duplicate the spread. Then paste the icon back in its place (Edit > Paste in Place).
Sorry for the trouble.
Thanks,
Ravi Kiran

Strange behavior when duplicating a text layer
Hello All,
I was following a tutorial.
I created a text layer. typed in the number "2012" in white
I placed a texture in the comp.
I used the text layer as an alpha track matte
Then I duplicated the Text layer, and instead of the layer being named 2012 it automatically changed to 2013.
When I look at it as Layer Name or Source Name it was the same "2013"
So I create a new text layer and type in "0" and the layer was appropiately named 0
But when I duplicated that layer it was named 2014
When I duplicated any of the text Layers it was named the next sequencially higher number
This pattern of renaming was only broken by typing in a number where the leading digit was anther value up i.e. 4329
Then the duplicating of the text layer would start naming the with this value plus 1.
Same thing happens if you split the text layer
I think this is a bug or bad programming. this can lead to unnecessary confusion if you working on a project with number text layers and have to duplicate, many of them or many times. Or is the answer to pre compose the text layer before duplicating --- NO that has its own shotcomings.
CS5.5 on a Mac Os 10.6.8I found a solution. Rename the Text layer by adding a space before or after the numerals. Now the duplicates are named as the written text with a suffix increased by 1 for each additional duplicated layer.

Odd behavior when exporting to TXT
Post Author: mattlscc
CA Forum: Exporting
http://pixelspotlight.com/problem.docIf you view the document I created above you will noticed that in the preview of my report everything looks as I want it to appear... but once I export the report to TXT format I lose some data and characters. On each line between transactions there is supposed to be a single "^" character, and it shows up in the preview correctly, but when I go to export this report I just get an empty line. The other problem is when I go to export this report, all but the last line of the first transaction are missing. Any ideas on how to fix these two problems? Your comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.Post Author: norton

Hi PC1095,
Are you exporting from the Crystal Reports designer? If so, then you have posted to the wrong forum.
If you are having this issue from the crystalreports.com website, I don't believe we support version 8 reports, but let us know and we can try to look at it.

Strange behavior when performing query
Hi all,
I'm getting some odd behavior when doing different kinds of queries and am hoping someone here can help out. I have a database with continuously updated PDML data (http://www.nbee.org/doku.php?id=netpdl:pdml_specification). I am opening anf querying the database from a seperate application. This appears to work fine for certain types of queries, and fails for other types with error messages that don't seem relevant. Specifically, some queries that use the attribute axis as the last leaf seem to get fouled up. Here are some example queries and the results I get:
First some queries that work:
Query: "string(collection()[1]/packet[1]/proto[1]/field[1]/@size)"
Result:
A valid number
Query: "collection()//proto[@name='geninfo']/field[@name='len']"
Result:
<field name="len" pos="0" show="64" showname="Packet Length" value="40" size="64"/>
<field name="len" pos="0" show="64" showname="Packet Length" value="40" size="64"/>
<field name="len" pos="0" show="64" showname="Packet Length" value="40" size="64"/>
Now some queries that don't work:
Query: "collection()//packet/proto/field/@size"
Result:
Output to stdout - "Transaction specified for a non-transactional database"
and an Exception with message - "Error: Invalid argument"
Query: "collection()//proto[@name='geninfo']/field[@name='len']/@name" (notice it's almost identical to above working query except with @name)
Result:
Same as above, an stdout about transactions and an exception about invalid arguments
What I find most interesting is that both errors (the one printed to stdout and the one I get in my exception) don't seem to have anything to do with the problem. I know the transactional stuff isn't messed up because the exact same code works for certain queries. I'm not sure about the "Error: Invalid argument" exception, but it's not very helpful by itself. I'm using the Java library and DBXML version 2.4.16. Anyone have any ideas what's going on?
Thanks,
DaveAs a follow-up, it appears that I just needed to wrap my attributes in the XPath string() function. For example "collection()//packet/proto/field/@size" does not work while "collection()//packet/proto/field/string(@size)" works fine.
I'm still not sure why it's spitting out an error message to stdout about transactions not being enabled when the only real error is with the query, but at least it's working now. -
Odd colorsync profile behavior when printing
I'm having a bit of an odd situation when printing out of Aperture. When choosing ANY colorsync profile in the print dialog box that ends in .icc, the color of the preview image and the resulting print is off horribly, in the blue/purple direction. When a profile that doesn't contain .icc in the listed name is chosen, the print is fine.
Example
+SPR2400 PremSmgls Photo.icc+ results in wrong color rendering
+SPR2400 PremiumSemigloss+ works just fine
This isn't limited to Epson profiles; I have a few profiles from Ilford and Innova which are doing the same thing.
I should note that this didn't used to happen, and started after the upgrade to 2.14 and/or 10.6/1---i did both basically simultaneously, so I'm not sure which might be the culprit.
The error doesn't happen when printing out of Photoshop, for what it's worth. And yes, I have color management turned off at the printer level, so it's only being handled by the application.
Thanks.I had a comparable problem with my Epson Stylus Photo R1800. Once I set the profile back to the SPR1800 Premium Glossy the funky colors were corrected. Then, however, prints were far too dark. Setting the Gamma in the Print dialog to 1.3 got it back to an acceptable quality, albeit a bit too dark still. I have spent a lot of electrons with Epson support and they were of minimal help through this entire fiasco. Basically I had to "hunt and peck" with different settings to get to the point where the print quality was acceptable. I have shared my findings with them so hopefully they'll pass them on to folks who contact them. They say they are "constantly" working on new drivers to solve such problems, but gave me no projection as to when that might be. All this started after upgrading to 10.6.

Odd Behavior in Public Site Manager
Greetings All;
Is anyone else experiencing unusual behavior in Public Site Manager? Specifically, after I created a new Collection and
began to add content, I began to get a "Sorry, this page is currently being edited. Please try again later." message.
Also, my session seems to "time out" almost immediately.
Syd Rodocker
iTunes U Administrator
Tennessee State Department of Education
Tennessee's Electronic Learning CenterHi Duncan - I work with about six collections in Wellesley College's iTunes U site. Is there any specific information that might help you?
Late last afternoon around 2-3, I was able to publish my item (essentially by going to the item which was already visible in the collection and resaving it/signing out very quickly before the timeout had a chance to get me.) After that, I had noticed that the timeouts were no longer occuring as quickly, but the next time I logged in I got an odd error when I clicked the "return to collections manager" link. Unfortunately I did not think to copy the error, though it was a white page and looked like some sort of script error.
However, when I went back to take a screenshot of it today, everything looks fine as far as I can see. No unnaturally quick timeouts or links throwing errors. (I do still get the "sorry, currently being edited" if I close the browser on a collection without properly signing out, but as far as I'm aware that is normal.)
I will try to find some new content to upload and report back if there are any problems with that. But for now it looks like we're fine here.
Best of luck with your own, Syd. -
Problems duplicating pages in CS5
Hi,
I'm having big problems with certain basic operations involving copying pages. Here's the first problem: I'm unable to duplicate a page by dragging and dropping. The manual says that to duplicate a page, you merely hold down Alt, click the page icon or page number, then drag and drop. When I do this, all that happens is that it moves the page rather than copying it. I can, however, use this method to duplicate two or more pages. But that creates a mess and wastes time. Anyone else have trouble doing this?
The second problem occurs when I use the Duplicate page command. I can indeed duplicate a single page by selecting the page icon, right clicking and choosing Duplicate Page. I can do the same with multiple pages. The problem is that it corrupts the positioning of the layout by shifting everything left or right by a half inch or so. This occurs when the duplicated page is added to the end of the document. As I duplicate pages through successive generations, these shifts accumulate over time. It seems like a code bug where it's trying to shift the page left or right to properly position the gutter yet it misidentifies an even page as odd or vice versa and shifts in the wrong direction.
A partial work-around is that I can successfully duplicate two or more pages by dragging and dropping (instead of the Duplicate command). As long as I don't move them to the end of the document, it's OK. The problem is this won't work for single pages because dragging/dropping won't copy single pages (as I mentioned above). So I still can't just simply duplicate a page when I need to. Argh.
Comments anyone? Am I doing something wrong or does ID have serious shortcomings involving page duplication?
I'm running XP Pro SP3 on a 3.4 GHz P4, 4GB, Intel chipset, NVidia GeForce 6600. I ran the latest Adobe update to ID CS5 7.0.3.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.Thanks for the responses, folks, I do appreciate it. It definitely looks like a bug to me.
Here's an example. I create a new document. I hold down Alt, click on the page, drag and drop. It copies it OK. I now have two separate pages, neither one of them is a spread. I alt-drag-drop one of them again, this creates a third page, now part of a 2-page spread. At that point, the code starts to fail. I can continue successfully copying page one, but none of the other pages. For example, I can try either of the two pages in the spread and all that happens is they move - not copy. I can select a pair of pages, or 4, 5, 6 or any other number, drag and drop to copy them. This only works around half the time. For example, I select four pages, alt-drag-drop and all that happens is they move and I'm left with two pages selected (instead of four), now in a different location. I can repeat this experiement again and again selecting, alt-dragging and dropping. I may do 5 or 10 in a row which only MOVE, not COPY. I may then get lucky and get a string of them that do copy successfully. Or sometimes it alternates randomly.
It doesn't matter if I use the Alt method or drag the pages to the icon at the bottom of the pages window. Same statistical results. In no case will the software ever copy (drag) a single page which is part of spread. And once again, if I select one page from a spread and say "Duplicate page", it typically puts the dupe at the end of the sequence with the content shifted left or right some random distance, corrupting it.
I tried upgrading to 7.0.3, I tried trashing my prefs, I've tried many things. I'm not crazy nor do I need a book, but thanks for the suggestion. Perhaps I'll pick one up down the road. I confess I'm not a graphic artist and I'm only in my first month working with InDesign. But I recently worked a decade at a leading (rival) multimedia editing software manufacturer after 22 years in the biz and I write C code during the day to pay the bills. I know how to test code and I know when something is working inconsitently or not as specified. I may not have all the answers but all I can do is report what I observe and hope someone can solve the mystery. This would help me (and any others with the issue) as I'm doing 250+ page books and could really use a feature where I can copy a page. Not play a silly game of roulette trying to copy spreads or groups of pages. Just one page would be nice. And once again, thanks for the suggestions, I do appreciate it.
