Possible bug while a popup is open

I noticed a strange behavior for popup windows in CVI 2009: when a popup is open, and I click on a button on the caller panel (that I think should be completely inacitve) the EVENT_LEFT_CLICK_UP is generated.
I attached a simple application to show this behavior: in the textbox I append every event generated for the "Click" button. Before opening the popup you can see a lot of events (EVENT_MOUSE_POINTER_MOVE, EVENT_LEFT_CLICK, ...) when you click on this button.
If you click on "Open" a popup is opened; if you click on the "Click" button while the popup is open you will see that the EVENT_LEFT_CLICK_UP is generated.
Could you confirm this is a bug?
The same behaviour is shown for MessagePopup( ), ConfirmPopup( ) and InstallPopup( ).

Hi Vix,
Thank you for your posting.
I tested your example project and seen that you seem to be right.
The event EVENT_LEFT_CLICK_UP should not happen when a Modal dialog box is opened.
Now I'm sending a request to R&D in order to let them verify and take the right actions.
I'll let you know if they tell me that this is not a bug but a somehow expected behaviour.
Thanks again

Possible bug while implementing recursion

Hey,
 Either I am going complete nuts and not seing the most obvious mistake or there is really a bug, hope someone can help. I have a herirachical xml document that I would like to flatten out. I wrote a cfm code and it works perfectly, but when I put them logic in cfscript it does not work. From what I can tell, when recursion returns back, and continues on, the old value in the loop is overwritten (counter value is not what it should be when the state was saved and recursion took place). I don't know how else to explain this. Here is code in cfm and in cfscript, can you see something I am not?
function flattenXML works just fine, but flattenXML2 does not.
[code]
<cfset xmlfile = "/xDocs/TAXONOMY_XMLDOC_131.xml" />
<cfset myDoc = xmlParse(xmlfile) />
<cfset theRootElement = myDoc.XmlRoot>
<cfdump var="#theRootElement.XMLChildren[1]#"/>
<cfset st = flatternXML2(theRootElement, "", structNew())/>

 writeoutput("after " & j & "_" & arraylen(arguments.node.XmlChildren) & " ");
 return(arguments.lineage);
</cfscript>
</cffunction>
[/code]

To help you with another pair of eyes, I will just translate the tag version into a script. You can then compare. Here it is:
<cfscript>
var t_name="NONE";
var output="";
var hash_key="";
var updatedStr="";
var updatedLineage=structNew();
var returnStruct=structNew();
updatedStr = arguments.str;
updatedLineage = arguments.lineage;
if (structKeyExists(arguments.node.XmlAttributes, "NAME")) {
 t_name = arguments.node.XmlAttributes['NAME'];
if (len(updatedStr)) {
 updatedStr &= "; " & left(arguments.node.XmlName, 1) & "_" & t_name;
else
 updatedStr = left(arguments.node.XmlName, 1) & "_" & t_name;
if (ArrayLen(arguments.node.XmlChildren) eq 0) {
 //output=output & updatedStr & " ";
 hash_key = hash(updatedStr, "MD5");
 if (not structKeyExists(updatedLineage, hash_key)) {
 structInsert(updatedLineage, hash_key, updatedStr);
 else
 //output=output & "duplicate lineage: " & updatedStr & " ";
//returnStruct.output=output;
//returnStruct.updatedLineage=updatedLineage;
for (i=1; i LTE arraylen(arguments.node.XmlChildren); i=i+1) {
 updatedLineage = flatternXML(arguments.node.XmlChildren[i], updatedStr, updatedLineage);
 //updatedLineage = flatternXML(arguments.node.XmlChildren[i], updatedStr, updatedLineage).updatedLineage;
return updatedLineage;
// return returnStruct;
</cfscript>
It is good practice to leave variables in the arguments scope unmodified during the processing of a function. Modifying them increases complexity. This comes into play when you maintain the code later, as we are now doing here. The solution is obvious. Just define a new updatable variable. In this case, updatedStr and updatedLineage.
You will also notice I have commented out all display statements. It is bad practice to make a function do more than one thing at once. The function returns a variable. It should therefore not have the added burden of writing output. If you wish to return output plus some other result(s), then store them in a struct and return that.

It is possible to apply redo while the standby is open in read only mode ?

Hi,
I am using Oracle 11g R2 (11.2.0.1.0)
Step 1: Two node RAC is Configured.
Step 2: One node Data Guard RAC is configured.( i,e Standby is one node RAC).
Primary:

OPEN_MODE DATABASE_ROLE PROTECTION_MODE PROTECTION_LEVEL
READ ONLY WITH APPLY PHYSICAL STANDBY MAXIMUM AVAILABILITY MAXIMUM AVAILABILITY
Question:
I have not purchased active dataguard license.
In my case In Data Guard RAC it is possible to apply redo while the database is open in read only mode?
Thanks

"READ ONLY WITH APPLY" in V$DATABASE.OPEN_MODE means Active Data Guard is enabled.
Oracle code cannot check if you have the right license: it is up to you to know which license you have for your database environments.

How do I block a popup window that I have allowed to open on Firefox once? I now have the popup blocker set to block all sites, but the popup still opens every time I open Firefox or open (sometimes) a new tab.

How do I block a popup? I allowed this popup to open once. Now I have set the popup blocker to block all sites but this popup still opens every time I open Firefox and sometimes (usually) when I open a new tab.
I Have stopped and restarted Firefox multiple times.
I have rebooted the computer.
I have set the tools/options/content/block pop-up windows/exceptions to block all sites (no exceptions).
I have no other issues with Firefox.
I have Adblock plus (with (1) subscription) installed
I am currently using Firefox version 4.0 on Windows7 Ultimate.

Just to address the last point: check your History menu to see whether you have the Restore Previous Session option and use that if you can. If that is grayed out or doesn't restore everything, check the Recently Closed Windows and Recently Closed Tabs lists for other pages.
The unwanted window may be generated by an add-on. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?
Here are some other things to check:
(1) user.js file that changes Firefox startup behavior and overrides your preferences. This article describes how to track that down and delete it if you have one: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
(2) Possible hijacked shortcut. Check the "target" of the desktop icon you use to start Firefox to see whether it lists the unwanted page. To do that:
right-click the icon > Properties > Shortcut tab
For 64-bit Windows 7, the Target should be no more and no less than this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
(3) Possible undisclosed bundle items. If you have installed any free software recently, check your Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a program for surprises. If you click the "Installed on" column head to group by date, it is easier to spot bundled junk. Remove everything suspicious or unrecognized.
(4) Supplemental clean up scans. Our support article lists tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
Hopefully that cures it.

Use an external screen as primary screen while the lid is open

is it possible to use an external screen as primary screen while the lid is open on a white MacBook (Lion)?

I can't get this to work either, and I really want it too!
Noisy fans, and overheating laptops are not a pleasant experience when working next to one all day.
Please apple, at least give us the choice!?!
I presume running two screens rather than one also puts more of a drain on the graphic card.

Access Keys not blocked when popup is open

Hi,
We are using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.4 and we have the requirement to add access keys on specific buttons in our application.
When a popup is open the background page is disabled and the user cannot click on buttons outside the popup.
If however a button in the background has an access key and the user uses it, the action gets executed.
Is this a bug? does anyone know of a workaround in order to block the access keys in the background when a popup is open?
Gabriel.

Hi,
We got an answer from Oracle support... not the one we were hoping for though:
"the Development team confirming that _the issue is not a defect_. We have an Enhancement Request 10170506 logged for the issue to be _considered_ by Development in the future releases......."
The access keys functionality is a high priority for our clients and this is going to be a serious issue for us.

My dock(Mac) freezes occasionally while Photoshop CC Is open.

My OS dock mouse over animation freezes sometimes while Photoshop CC Is open. (Mac) Cause? solution? The dock itself is still functional, just the mouse over animation stops working.

Photoshop can't interfere with the Dock process. It could be system paging slowing everything down, or a bug in the Dock code.

Copy and paste adjustment problem/ possible bug.

Hi all
I have just encountered a very strange problem/ possible bug.
I have been working on a file in photoshop cs5 that had come from lightroom 5.3. This was then saved (automaticaly becomes tiff file in Lightroom). I then wanted to make some more adjustments to it in lightroom (using local adjustment clarity). I then tried to copy the settings of the adjustment brush from the tiff to the original raw file. This is where it gets very strange. The adjustments are copied but they are rotated ccw by 90 degrees! I can replicate this every time.
Could someone else try to see if this problem exists on their catalogs or if its a corrpution problem my end.

Noted on the bug, thanks.

You cannot do it with popup panels: a popup is intrinsically a modal window, that is user input is confined to this window and the operator cannot access other panels in your applicatin until the popup is closed.
You need to create a panel to display your messages and setup it as a "floating" panel: floating style is one of the additiona attributes of the panels, located in the same dialogue into which you specify if the panel is sizable, movable... A floating panel remains on top of other panels of the application but the user can operate on those other panels while the floating one is displayed (you'll need to show it with DisplayPanel instead of InstallPopup).

Possible bug with iTunes 11 ?? (with Smart Playlists)

Hi folks
New to Apple Support, but after upgrading to iTunes 11 earlier today (on my Mac Mini) I've discovered a potential bug / difference in the way it operates compared to earlier versions. Can someone else try something similar and see if they get the same result - I think I read somewhere that v11 is not available on Windows yet, so I cant compare what happens there
I've imported all our CD's into iTunes, and we've set up several Smart Playlists (SP). Using the Rating setting for the songs, we can break them up into groups, eg
Rating 0 = not yet processed
Rating 1 = not interested in listening to again
Rating 2 = kids songs (for our children)
Rating 3 = christmas songs
Rating 4 = songs i like, but my wife probably wouldnt
Rating 5 = songs we both like - good for background music etc
Using Home Sharing to our iPad's rocks !!
Now, onto the bug.
Using the SP that has just songs with Rating 0, I could play any song, set the Rating to whatever, and naturally once set, that disappears from the SP
In all earlier versions of iTunes, playback would continue with the next song, so I could set that Rating, etc etc. Worked really well to churn through a chunk of songs in say 15 minute blocks
With iTunes v11, playback stops as soon as I set the Rating.
How can you help ?????????? Set up a smart playlist with whatever criteria you like - make sure you have a number of songs returned and ensure Live Updating is set, have a song playing, and make that song no longer valid for that SP. Anyone doing this in earlier versions of iTunes should have the next song begin, and if this is a bug, then those using iTunes 11 will have playback stop
Sorry for the long post, but in order to determine a potential bug, you need to describe the situation and how to test it.
Thanks for reading
PS I'm on a 2010 Mac Mini with OSX v10.7.x (whatever the current release of that is) and just upgraded to iTunes 11

Soo, maybe it isnt possible bug, but the way Apple have changed iTunes when going to v11. Stooopid
Anyway, found this link about downgrading to an earlier version. I've just completed it and found one or two "errors" in the method, which I'll detail below
http://www.emacconsulting.com/apple/itunes/downgrade-itunes-11-to-itunes-10-7/
In the latter part of the instructions
11) Open your iTunes Music Folder.
If you never moved your iTunes folder it’s located here:
Your HD/Your User/Music/iTunes
Or go to the Finder type: Command + Shift + G
Paste this into the the dialog: ~/Music/iTunes
If you moved it to another hard drive, you will know where to locate your iTunes folder.
12) Open the “Previous iTunes Libraries” folder.
13) Find the most recent copy of the “iTunes Library 2012-xx-xx.itl” file.
Normally it will the last file at the bottom of the list.
14) Drag a copy of the file into the iTunes folder.
15) Delete the “iTunes Library” file.
16) Change the name of the “iTunes Library 2012-xx-xx.itl” to ”iTunes Library” with no .itl extension.
In #11, I simply went to "My HD"/Users/"My User"/Music/iTunes
Copied the latest .itl and moved it up a directory level
The old file in #15 is called "iTunes Library.itl" - which I renamed, and renamed the copied version back to "iTunes Library.itl" = though I do have extensions showing, some people may not and hence wont see the .itl
Anyway all is fixed in my world, and when I launched v10.7, it asked me if I wanted to upgrade to v11 - I said No and not to prompt me again. Playcount issue is resulved, as is changing SmartList criteria with playback continuing
Apple - please correct these bugs before releasing any new versions of iTunes... you've made a very large number of people unhappy

Possible Bug In Apex 4.0.2

Hi Everyone.
I would like to report what I think is a bug in Apex 4.0.2.
If you go to my workspace on apex.oracle.com:
Workspace = EEG
Username = [email protected]
Password = galaxy (all lowercase)
Run the application: 37796 - Elie_Various_Goodies [no credentials are required]
This app was imported from my 4.0.1 workspace at my job. On the page I created two Date Picker items, P1_BEGIN_DATE and P1_END_DATE. I set them up so that whenever a user selects a begin date, a dynamic action "MANAGE_DATES" fires and automatically sets P1_END_DATE to this selected begin date value. Now when a user goes to select an end date, the displayed calendar starts at the previously selected begin date rather than the default of "Today".
All of this worked fine on my office (4.0.1) workspace. However, after exporting this app and then importing onto apex.oracle.com, none of this functionality would work. Even worse, whenever I try to select a begin date or even an end date, the selected dates never make it into the date picker fields. Displaying the "Session" window shows these fields as empty.
It was only after I copied the two date picker fields and also re-created my dynamic action (P1_BEGIN_DATE2, P1_END_DATE2, MANAGE_DATES) did my functionality return.
This behavior is quite strange. I can only think this is some sort of bug attributed to the export/import process when exporting a 4.0.1 app into a 4.0.2 workspace. I am not sure if this bizarre behavior happens with non-date picker items. Nor am I sure if this beavior would be repeated if I export/import from 4.0.2 into the another 4.0.2 environment.
Another strange thing I noticed. If I change my date picker items to be "date picker (classic)" type items, the dynamic action does not work at all. This is true in both 4.0.2 and 4.0.1. I'm not sure if this a bug or not. It could be that the classic date picker is just not "javascript" enabled so to speak. If that is true, then it would have been nice if the docs would have warned us about this.
Has anyone else seen this behavior?
Thank you.
Elie

Hi Joel.
First let me thank you for the warning about allowing "everyone" access to my workspace.
You're correct, of course. Anyone could destroy anything within my workspace. I guess I was too trusting especially as I have seen many posts on the Forum where others have given access to their workspace so that responders can offer help. I really should be more discreet about this. Again, thank you. Needless to say, I have changed my password.
With respect to the possible bug, the MANAGE_DATES dynamic action is intended to be a submit page because that is the only way I can see to get BOTH the P1_END_DATE date picker item as well as the end date textual field to be assigned the selected P1_BEGIN_DATE. I tried to use a dynamic action in which javascript sets the value of the end date textual field to the selected P1_BEGIN_DATE value. This works without the need to submit the page. Unfortunately, this does not cause the P1_END_DATE date picker item to default to this value. Instead, the default remains at today's date. This is why I finally resorted to a dynamic action that submits the page whenever a new value is selected (that is, a "change" event) from the P1_BEGIN_DATE date picker item.
All of this works in my office 4.0.1 environment. However, I was puzzled when this fails under 4.0.2 on the hosted web site at apex.oracle.com. This is why I posted a "possible" bug in 4.0.2.
I hope this all makes sense.
One more thing, as already mentioned in my original post, this "defaulting a date picker" functionality does NOT work at all for the "classic" date picker items in both 4.0.1 nor in 4.0.2. I realize one can implement this functionality (I' guessing) my using, say, a "onChange" javascript call to submit the page. It's just funny that the "classic" date picker items are not acted upon by the dynamic action MANAGE_DATES that submits the page.
Thank you.
Elie

Possible Bug with Drag-and-Drop Being Published via HTML5 - Getting "Undefined" Error When Dragging Object

Hello,
I came up with a way to use drag-and-drop interactions that will take advantage of file input so that I may create a drag-and-drop interaction that uses one draggable object over and over allowing multiple scoring/tracking possibilities. Example use...is having the draggable object be dynamic in that it randomly changes its text so that a learner can drag a term it's possible classification.........thus allowing the possibility of having many terms easily loaded without having to redo a drag-and-drop interaction for each needed terms/classifications updates/changes.
My Issue: When using a variable to represent the text for a draggable Smart Shape object, I'm getting the error message "undefined" when, clicking/pressing on the object, as well as during the drag of the object. This issue occurs when publishing the project in an HTML5 format. Flash interestingly enough seems to work perfect...but we are not interested in publishing via Flash any longer.
To better help you explore this error message, I've set up a test project so that you can see when and how the "undefined" message shows up during a drag-and-drop interaction. I've also included the Captivate 8 project file used to make the exploration project I'm sharing in this post.
Link to Captivate project I created for you all to explore "undefined" error message": http://iti.cscc.edu/drag_and_drop_bug/
Link to this Captivate 8 Project file: http://iti.cscc.edu/drag_and_drop_bug.cptx
It's pretty interesting how things react in this demo, please try the following actions to see some interesting happenings:
Drag the Yellow (or variable drag box) to the drag target.
Drag Black Hello square to Drag target and click undo or reset - watch the undefined message come up on the Yellow (or variable drag box).
Drag the Yellow (or variable drag box) to the drag target and then use the undo or reset.
Move both draggable boxes to the drag target and use the undo and reset buttons...
Anyhow, I know you all are sharp and will run the demo through its paces.
I'd really be very honored if anyone help me figure out how I could (when publishing out to HTML5) no longer have the "undefined" error message show up when using drag-and-drop with a variable for shape text. This technique has been well received at the college I work at...and I have many future project requests for using such an idea on a variety of similar interactions. I'd love see a solution or see if this might be a bug Adobe may be able to fix!
I tried to find a solution to the issue documented here for quite some time, but I was not able to find anyone with this problem much less attempting the idea I'm sharing in the help request - save the darn "undefined" message that comes up!
Many thanks in advance for any help and/or direction that you all may be able to provide,
Paul

Hello,
I just wanted to supply a minor update related to my drag-and-drop question/issue stated above:
I did another test using Captivate 7, and found that the undefined error (publishing as HTML5) does not appear and the variable data remains visible - except the variable data turns very small and does not honor any font size related settings.
I did go ahead and submit this to Adobe as a possible bug today.
Thanks again for any help related to this issue. If the issued documented above is solved, it will allow many amazing things to be done using Captivate's drag-and-drop for both regular type projects as well as interaction development for iBooks!
Matter of fact if this issue gets fixed, I'll publish a Blog entry (or video) on way's I've used Captivate's drag-and-drop to create dynamic learning activities for Higher Ed. and for use in iBooks.
