Preview 4.0 Selection Bug!

Hi,
Try this. Open an image up in Preview 4.0. Zoom into it a lot. Make a selection, then try using the Move tool to move around the image. Your selection disappears! See?
From what I understand, you can't use the Move tool while you have a Selection made. This makes it awkward to move across an image in the middle of making a selection. So basically you're forced to use the scroll bars if you're zoomed into an image while making a selection.
Is this a bug, or just bad design? Imagine if Photoshop didn't let you use the Move tool while having a Selection.

Everybody, report preview problems to apple at:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
My biggest problem in preview 4.0 is it freezes while trying to view large images across four apple LCD's. Sometimes I see a gray screen.

Workaround for JSFL shape selection bug?

There seems to be a bug in the document selection reporting in JSFL in CS4 (haven't tested earlier versions). I submitted it as a bug to Adobe but I'd really like to find a workaround for it. I've included my bug report below. Has anyone else encountered this? If so, have you figured out a workaround? It's pretty annoying, making the tool I'm working on really difficult to manage.
******BUG******
After performing a publish preview, fl.getDocumentDOM().selection reports an incorrect selection of raw shapes.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Create a JSFL command with the following contents:
doc = fl.getDocumentDOM();
fl.trace("there are " + doc.selection.length + " items selected");
2. Start the authoring environment fresh, with a new document.
3. Draw several shapes on the stage, not touching each other, all in the same frame and layer.
4. Select one of those shapes but leave the others unselected.
5. Run the previously created JSFL command. It will send the following text to the output panel, as one would expect:
"there are 1 items selected"
6. Do a publish preview (either Flash or HTML).
7. When it comes up, close the preview window.
8. Deselect all and then select one of the shapes (again, keeping the others unselected).
9. Run the JSFL command again. This time, it will say that there are n items selected (where n is the number of shapes you drew in step 3). So if you drew three shapes, it will print out the following:
there are 3 items selected
Note that this result will be the same even if you go to a different document, do a publish preview on that document, then return to the original. It seems that simply doing a publish preview alters Flash's state to report the selection incorrectly.
Results: The JSFL command reports that all the shapes are selected, despite the fact that only one of them is. The only way I've found to get Flash back to its normal behavior is to restart the authoring environment.
Expected results: In the steps above, the JSFL command should always print out that there is one element selected. There's no reason that doing a publish preview should change that.

When selected all shapes in selection are treated as one. You can see it if you run this script with selected multiple shapes:
fl.trace( fl.getDocumentDOM().selection[0].contours.length );
It will output you twise bigger number then selected shapes (because each Shape has two contours - one clockwise, other counterclockwise).
Of course this. implementation is strange for me too. Thats how i found your post

Switching between Acrobat DC / XI window and another application - cursor selection bug (video and test files attached)

Hi,
When I have Acrobat XI or DC open along side InDesign (or other programs like Acrobat or Word), I run into a bug where upon switching from InDesign to Acrobat, the mouse cursor automatically selects a bunch of text in the Acrobat PDF with a spinning beach ball, and I have to click around multiple times to release it from whatever text it has selected. It is annoyance I noticed in a few versions of Acrobat now, and I had hoped the bug would be fixed in DC. The only way to prevent this from happening is to click anywhere else on the Acrobat window (eg the menu bar or the side tools panel, but not the PDF itself).
Video describing the problem: https://imgur.com/dXurXcB
Note that no clicking is taking place when switching windows from InDesign to Acrobat - the text in the Acrobat window is being selected automatically by the bug.
If you watch the video carefully, you will also notice that the Acrobat window does not look like it is taking focus during the selection bug - it only takes the focus after clicking around multiple times.

Thanks for the reply. I think the issue is just confined to Mac machines + Adobe products (this issue doesn't occur when I switch from Word Preview 2016, or Office 2011). I can confirm this issue occurs on more than one Mac as well.
Here is a slightly larger GIF if the first was too hard to make out
https://i.imgur.com/CNKnkC0.gif
It's almost as if the text manipulation / selection from InDesign is carrying over to the Acrobat window, interrupting the normal focus it should get on first click...
Edit: It just occurred with Spotify - Switched from Spotify to Acrobat, with a scanned image PDF. The rectangular selection tool tries to grab a region of the image several times before focus returns to the Acrobat window. It also just happened after manipulating images and text in Word 2016 Preview and Word 2011.

In Indesign cc the preview of the selected image is not showing in the place dialog box how to enable that?

I can't able to see the preview of the selected image in place dialog box of indesign cc but it working in indesign cs6

A couple things can cause this.
Right click on the red x to find out the name of the png file. Search the web server for that png and make sure that the asp worker has access to it.
The other is a image handler issue. Search the kbase for Red X NET 2005 and you will find a kbase or two that addresses this.

Tree selection bug?

Hi,
I don't know if this is a bug or not. When using XML as the
data provider for the Tree component and multiple nodes have the
same label, selecting anyone of the nodes will cause all of them to
be selected. The problem stems from the fact that XML comparison is
done by value. The comparison is dibe at line 6345 of ListBase. Is
this a bug? If not, is there a known workaround?
I attached code that reproduces the problem. Selecting the
first node, selects the first, second and last node because, by
value, they are all the same.
Thanks!
JPB

Switch to using a strongly typed object that implements IUID,
or just make
sure your XML has other identifying information to it. It's
not really that
helpful to have 19 "foos" in your list unless there is
something else
different about them.
So, something like
<mx:XMLList id="treeData">
<node label="Test entry 1" id="1"/>
<node label="Test entry 1" id="2"/>
<node label="Test entry 2" id="3"/>
<node label="Test entry 1" id="4"/>
</mx:XMLList>

Preview - can't select a portion of created PDF

Hi All,
I'm not new the support community (have been able to resolve many an issue by searching), but this is the first time I'm posting.
So, I've created a document via Pages and then saved it as PDF (using the print dialog box). It's a form I use for work. The form works mostly like a charm, even check boxes, etc. However, there are three rows of text I have on the second page that I cannot highlight for the life of me. The problem is that those are the three lines in which I (of course) need to be able to highlight text.
The relevant part of the form is set up as follows (with [ ] denoting a check box):
Intro Text (w/12 pt space after paragraph)
[ ] Text 1     (tabbed space)     Option 1 / Option 2 / Option 3 (etc.)
[ ] Text 2     (tabbed space)     Option 1 / Option 2 / Option 3 (etc.)
[ ] Text 3     (tabbed space)     Option 1 / Option 2 / Option 3 (etc.)
[ ] Text 4     (tabbed space)     Option 1 / Option 2 / Option 3 (etc.)
[ ] Text 5     (tabbed space)     Option 1 / Option 2 / Option 3
(lots of tabbed space)             Option 4 / Option 6 (etc.
(space)
Other text
The bottom two rows (rows 4 & 5) in that list consisting of Text 1-5 can be highlighted just fine - I can highlight any portion, even individual letters. The Intro Text and the text following the list can also be highlighted normally. Even the parts that read "Text 1/2/3" can be highlighted, but I can't highlight the individual options in lines 1-3. The only time that will highlight is if I highlight everything top to bottom, and only after I get past the paragraph starting with Line 5, Option 4. And in that case it highlights everything, not individual options.
I've posted a couple of screenshots below to help a bit. Anyone has any input? I can't make it work at all. I edited and re-edited the original Pages doc a million times. I can't figure things out on the Preview side of it either. Please help!
For reference:
OS is Mavericks with all new relevant updates.
Screenshots:
Example of cannot highlight in row 1-3:
Example of all rows highlighted:
This is what I need to do in each individual row (right now only works for rows 4 & 5):

You can only edit an entire graphic, not parts. In addition, you can not do the edit in Reader. In both of the cases you describe, you should be able to select the image to edit. The process you are using sounds like a graphic copy (at the screen resolution) which is far from an optimal process for getting the graphics. You can save all graphics to the hard drive and edit those, retaining all of the resolution of the original.
In terms of the two cases, it sounds like the second shop may have set security to not allow copying of the graphic screen.

Canon MP640 - "No scanner selected" bug in Snow Leopard

Hi!
I use a Canon MP640 printer/scanner combo unit WITHOUT installing any software from Canon. I like to stick with the built-in functionality of Mac OS X. Which means scanning via Preview.app or ImageCapture.app.
Until recently everything worked flawlessly. Have not used the scanner in a while though and now with 10.6.4 installed I found out, that the scanner does not appear anymore in the Preview.app menu FILE > IMPORT FROM SCANNER > ...
Opening up SystemPreferences.app in order to delete and add the printer again only helped for one scan when the scan was invoked with the printer button. Turning the printer off/on and the link between the computer to the scanner was broken again
In SystemPreferences.app Snow Leopard says "No scanner selected" when I choose the printer and click the SCAN tab in the printer/scanner section.
Anybody found out how to fix this issue without installing all the Canon printing/scanning software? I would like to stick with the built-in Preview.app.
Thanks

Sorry to read that nothing has helped to date.
Checking the operation of my MP980 connected via USB and using Image Capture or Preview to scan, the process 'Canon IJScanner1' is the only process that starts when the scan is initiated from either application. And long after the scanning has completed and the relevant applications have been closed the process remains in the process list.
If I force quit the 'Canon IJScanner1' process I then find that the MP980 is not listed in the 'Import from Scanner' menu within Preview. And with this process still closed, if I go to Print & Fax and click on Open Scanner under the Scan button of the MP980, the Canon MP980 scanner queue will appear but with 'No scanner selected' inside the pane.
So I can recreate what you are seeing. But the question is why is your 'Canon IJScanner1' process stopping. If you check your Console log messages, is there any reference to this process stopping or failing?
Checking my log it showed as follows when I force quit the process.
13/09/10 4:34:00 PM com.apple.launchd.peruser.501 (183) ({0x0-0x577577}.jp.co.canon.ijscanner1.scanner.ica{66850}) Exited: Killed
Also, FYI, trying to start the process again manually is proving difficult. Double-clicking on the 'Canon IJScanner1' icon in /Library/Image Capture/Devices starts the service temporarily but then stops soon after. This is shown in Console as follows;
13/09/10 4:42:51 PM {0x0-0x61d61d}.com.twainds.mp980.scangear140800.canon{67810} /Library/Image Capture/TWAIN Data Sources/Canon MP980 series.ds/Contents/MacOS/Canon MP980 series: /Library/Image Capture/TWAIN Data Sources/Canon MP980 series.ds/Contents/MacOS/Canon MP980 series: cannot execute binary file

The only solution I could find was to restart the Mac but this made the process re-appear in the process list and consequently I was able to scan from Preview again.

Tree Select BUG?

Came across a little problem, don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if it is a genuine bug.
Here's what I'm seeing:
1) I run a program that at the beginning deletes all tags in a tree using the Delete Items Invoke Node with an empty string constant and a True constant for the Delete Children part.
2) I select all the items in the tree, and display all the tags from the tree using the All Tags Property Node, and display the selected tags directly from the output of the tree icon.
3) I rerun the program, which deletes all the tags as mentioned before, use a different data set, select all those items, and when it displays All Tags it only has the tags from that run, BUT the Selected Tags has all the selected tags from the current run AND all the tags from the previous run.
The solution of course is to simply create a local variable of the tree and at startupwire an empty string arrary to it. This shouldn't be necessary if the Delete Items deletes all the tags.
Attached is a VI showing the BUG
Michael
Additional NOTE: If you continue running the VI, the selected tags will pile up UNTIL you manually right click on the tree and hit "Delete All Items"

No problem
>>What is a CAR?
CAR stands for Corrective Action Request - it's a formal bug report to R&D.
>>Can anyone search these CARs before posting a supposed bug like I just did? Can you find them online, if so where?
We post the CAR IDs online so that customers can follow up with them if they'd like, and easily refer to them. The LabVIEW Champions maintain a monthly bug thread where you'll find pretty much everything BUG that's been posted online - if you search the forum for "monthly bug" (quotes not necessary) you'll see a slew of monthly bug threads returned. You can also search the forum in general for keywords related to your bug, to see if anyone else has reported it. Of course there is also a bug list/database which is maintained internally at NI, but the public doesn't have access to that.
I hope this helps!

Selection bug?

hi, i'm finding cs4 very buggy, i've read previous articles and updated drivers etc but there's still alot of things that are driving us bonkers!
i previously commented on the marquee bug, where that jumps around the screen and have just noticed another one.. when the move tool is selected and you hold ctrl then click on a shape/image then normally it will select that layer/group but in cs4 it's making my selection jump off the page everytime on the click.
Has anyone else had this? is it a bug?
Cheers

Hey Man.
As always thanks for getting me going here.
Can I please ask you if clicking the black should change both fonts to black? I mean, I seem to be having a problem selecting all my text (which could be a bunch of different colors) and changing it all to black which seems like it should be easy.
Shouldn't I be able to click on the black box and get it to go all to black?
Same thing with changing all the fonts to arial. Shouldn't I be able to select everything pulldown to arial and have it all go to arial...
Regards.

Aperture 3 - Multiple Image Selection Bug?

I am experiencing an issue within Aperture (v3.0.3) where by from a project folder containing a large number of photos, I rate the ones I wish to keep (typically 3 * and above) and these are all automatically selected for an album.
Whilst this smart album shows the correct number of images, If I use these as the basis for a book or even a static album, a larger number of images (seems to include any within a series) appear.
Am I using Aperture incorrectly?
Why does it show the correct number of images within the smart album, but copying everything shows a higher number within a book?
It also doesn't seem possible to show just a subset of photos within a book, so I have to get the number correct to save having to go through all photos for the book selection.
Is this a bug? It certainly appears to be a bug with the way in which this is working.
Thanks for your feedback...

Thanks for the response Kirby.
Essentially when I refer to 'series' I am talking about Aperture's stacks (I used the wrong phrase originally).
If I have a stack of 10 photos, however only a single one has been rated as 3 star or above (my criteria for being selected into the smart album and/or book), it seems that all 10 photos would appear in the books' photo selection.
This means that from one photo project where approximately 1800 photos were taken, I had rated around 200 of these as 3 star and above, which is the number of photos that correctly appears in the smart album.
If I then 'select all' from the smart album and use these as the basis for a book, I would expect to see only the 200 photos for selection within the book, however I see nearly 800 photos which is the total number of photos within the stacks visible in the smart album (whether photos are visible and rated sufficiently or not).
It's not possible to change the view of photos for the book selection process, so it appears to only list those photos you have chosen, however I see many photos I didn't "choose"...
Does this make it any clearer?
Thanks

Find "Other" search fails when "User" folder selected - bug?

I have several partitions on my disk.
On my boot partition, I have 2 .aiff files in a sub-directory of my Documents folder. Using the Finder's "Find" command (not spotlight),
select search for File Type "other" and "AIFF Audio" from dropdown
select the "Users" folder as the only folder to search - "Find" shows no files
select only "Home" to search - finds them.
select both "Home" and "Users" to search it doesn't find them.
select the partition (Called "OSX") it finds them.
select partition "OSX", folder "Users" and "Home" - it finds them
also - I can get Finder to reset with double-click:
With a search that finds them, select the file so its path appears in the panel at the bottom of the window.
Modify the Find to search only "Users". The window clears and no files show, however the path of the previously selected file remains.
Double click on the path name, the Finder resets ( - in other words, quits, closing all open FInder windows, then restarts without reopening any of those Finder windows)
Is this a bug or what?
MacMini - 1.42 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I was having a very similar problem on my computer. I found that this discussion thread solved my problems.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2635460&#2635460
In short, try re-indexing your drive or home folder. You can do his by opening Preferences->Spotlight, select the Privacy tab. Add your hard drive or your home folder to the list by drag and drop or hit the plus symbol at the bottom. Wait a second and remove the drive or folder. It will take several hours for the drive or folder to re-index but the find/search command will start working correctly right away.
Hope this helps.

Choose a template and apply it to all... using the 'Apply'

Wait for this operation to finish. When control comes back...
Press 'OK' and RH7.001.01 disassociates the template from
every topic.

While I am at it...
Template Bug #2: Template/Topic association is lost when

It'd be useful if we could 'Permanently Apply' a template to

A template applied to a project in this fashion should also
be applied to any new topics introduced to the project in any
manner whatsoever.
