Quoted replies: editing/display BUG and workarounds?

I'm frequently responding inline to quoted text emails.
Mail.app has the annoying behavior of losing my cursor, or inserting characters where my carat isn't located (especially on when editing multi-paragraph quoted text). And, sometimes there are display/draw bugs as well, where there are lines displayed on-screen that cannot be edited out.
In short, it's a real pain.
So: are there ways to convince Mail.app to be "dumber" about quoting? Say, to just use ">" straight text quoting like the rest of the world? If not, here's a feature request for the development team: fix the quoting issues, and show ">" indents, especially when I'm in "Plain Text" mode.
Cheers!
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I am having similar problem. I was importing from a video camera and checking the event library constantly to see that everything looked good - thumbnails, audio etc . Got to end of tape before iMovie crashed. When I opened it back up, clips in Event library are greyed out, but can mouse over and see them. Audio is completely gone though. Now half the time I click on an event with this problem, iMovie crashes, so I have deleted the greyed out events since it appears they cause instability. Oddly, the only clip to survive several crashes was the last one I captured - a very short one (1:35). Is there a size limit on events? I can't get past the capture process to even attempt editing and creating projects.
I have only recently started using iMovie. I am on a PowerMac G5 with 180GB available, so do not think space a problem. Using Leopard, iLife '08...have switched back and forth between Quicktime versions (suggested on other thread) but did not make a difference for me.

Photoshop CS4 Menu toolbar display bug and fullscreen slowness...

http://img384.imageshack.us/img384/8202/menutoolsbugee3.gif
I'm having a display bug with the menu toolbar in Photoshop CS4 Extended. Notice the area of tools is gone and replaced by random pixels? This happens whenever I enter the fullscreen mode that hides the interface. And when I exit that fullscreen mode, that bug appears and doesn't fix itself until I restart Photoshop. Can this be fixed?
Image view rotation also happens much slower than normal in that fullscreen mode when interface is hidden. But performs normally after I bring back the interface.
I'm on WinXP, Athlon 64 4000+, 3GB ram, GeForce 6800 GT video card [driver 169.21]. I'm not sure if this is a video driver bug or CS4 bug.

Yeah, Dave, I can understand how that can happen. I've seen that sort of weirdness when I've seriously overtaxed my hardware.
 
 Had way too much running all at once yesterday, switched over to Firefox, and clicking on folders in the Bookmarks bar, I had 4 bookmark/folder menus dropped simultaneously.
 
 I managed to grab a screenshot with 2 of them showing, but man! You shoulda seen it with 4!
 
 I ESC'ed out, quit GarageBand (had a song project of several hundred MB going) and all was fixed.

Aperture 3 Display Bug and Export to Flickr Bug

Has anyone else experienced this issue, and if so what systems do you have and what graphics card are you using?
The issue is the way images are displayed in Aperture. There seems to have been a change in the anti-aliasing between 2 and 3 so than now images with strong highlights display nasty aliasing artefacts and black ringing around highlight edges. It's as if Images are being over-sharpened. Also, when you first move to an Image it displays perfectly fine while it’s loading then when it’s finished it pops into the over sharp aliased version.
I'm having this issue on my iMac 24" running a ATI RadeonHD2600. It seems to only show when the onscreen display is zoomed out to 25% or less. If you go to fullscreen the artefacts disappear on landscape oriented images but remain on portrait. If you zoom in, once you pass a certain zoom factor they disappear.
I have posted some samples of the artefacts here - as well as what they should look like.
http://www.thomas-fitzgerald.net/2010/04/28/aperture-3-is-really-ticking-me-off/
and here
http://theapertureblog.com/2010/03/29/aperture-display-bug/
The bigger issue is that when exporting using the built in fickr tool it uses the same antialiasing and so over sharpens and degrades images the same way.
The problem is not always apparent and it really only shows with images containing high contrast areas, particularly if they clip to white. I would really like to know if this is limited to certain graphics cards as I've talked to someone who has this issue when using the faster gfx card on their macbook pro but not when they turn on the slower one.
If I need to upgrade my mac to make this issue go away then so be it but I'd really like to hear form others who may have seen it?

I have had issues with Aperture's anti-aliasing performance in the Viewer since version 1.5.
To summarize, Aperture's Viewer produces quite jagged edges from Canon RAW files compared to Preview's and Lightroom's renderings of the exact same files. There doesn't seem to be any radical improvements with the 3.x upgrades, and aliasing performance didn't seem to be affected by the updates to Apple's Canon RAW converter (I reprocessed). Images that I had a problem with are still problematic.
I thought that [this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=669881&tstart=0] referring to Aperture 1.5 laid out the issues pretty clearly and I was surprised at how little other users were affected by it (or so I infer from the number of responses.)
Until your post I had not looked specifically at Aperture 3.x. I haven't been able to exactly reproduce the issues I had (so many versions ago...) in Aperture 1.5 and it seems the situation has improved a bit.
Aperture still produces a much sharper rendering than Preview, though the aliased edges are not as prominent. To recap from Aperture 1.5:
!http://homepage.mac.com/steve_hoge/.Pictures/AliasedApertureRender.tiff!
And here's what I see in Aperture 3 on the same image:
!http://homepage.mac.com/steve_hoge/.Pictures/aliasedA3.tiff!
Which looks about the same to me on near-horizontal lines, but much better on the high-contrast vertical lines (check upper left corner of the frame).
And today's Preview 5.0.2 rendering of the RAW image is even softer and less contrast-y than back in the day:

Apex 4.2.1 - mobile theme display bugs and Cascading LOV bug

I've setup a test at http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=35331 - username/password is test/test
Simple page to show some issues I'm running into. Wondering if work-arounds exist or if a patch would be available before we'd go live.
First and second issue are the same I believe. So - a normal text box (label1) looks fine. But, Label2 is a Display only item and Label3 is a read-only select list item. As you can see - both of the values appear smack dab right beside the label and not in line with the other fields. It's totally ugly and not usable as is. I've tried to move this over, but the label goes with it. I can see no way of doing it, but wondering if there's some hack I can put in to solve it...
The last issues is with a cascading LOV. Simple table setup. Static on the first, the second a simple query that filters on the first. If you set the select list to Value Required and not to display null values - then when you click on the Second List button - it just hangs. The page is unusable. I suspect this has to do with the null or something. But - doesn't appear to matter if anything is chosen. Note - if the list is large - which I think then uses a different UI control, this is fine. Only when one of the lists is small does the issue reproduce.
Any workarounds or fixes? Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
I would suggest to not mix different questions and a thread for each of them. Makes it easier for others to follow.
About your problem with the cascading LOVs, it appears that this is/was a bug in jQuery Mobile which we use under the hood. I was able to reproduce the problem with APEX 4.2.1 using jQM 1.2.0, but was not able to reproduce it with APEX 5.0 which will use jQM 1.3.0RC1 or higher. The problem occurs if a select list is empty.
There are different workarounds available:
1) set the attribute "HTML Form Element Attributes" of P1_CLOV_2 to data-native-menu="false"or
2) set the attribute "Display Null Value" of P1_CLOV_2 to Yes and "Null Display Value" to - select - (or something similar). The "Value Required" = Yes will still guarantee that a value has to be picked. Having the extra null entry will guarantee that the select list always contains an entry, that seems to workaround the bug in jQuery Mobile.
I have filed bug 16355963 - jquery mobile: empty select list causes javascript error
to track that this is definitely fixed in APEX 5.0.

Optimized subsampling: bug and workaround

(CS3 and CS5. Mac).
InDesign appears to have some really bad defaults for the printer internals of "Send Data: Optimized subsampling" in the Graphics pane of the print dialog.
We moved from an HP 8150DN to a Xerox Phaser 7500DX. On the Xerox, 1bpp images come out looking abysmal when Optimized subsampling is turned on. On the HP, they were fine. Here's a scan of the difference. The left image is optimized subsampling on the Xerox (in case you couldn't tell!); the right is "Send Data: All" on the Xerox:
Why does this happen?
Well, Adobe's documentation isn't so good, but Real World InDesign CS5 (Olav Kvern, David Blatner, and Bob Bringhurst; who is Olav, anyhow?) tells us:
Black-and-white (bi-level images). When you're printing bi-level, black-and-white images, and have selected Optimized Subsampling, InDesign matches the images it sends to the resolution of the output device. … FOR THOSE WHO REALLY WANT TO KNOW, INDESIGN GETS THE PRINTER'S RESOLUTION FROM THE DefaultResolution KEYWORD IN THE PPD.
[EMPHSIS mine]. It appears the PPD situation with the Xerox printer is fairly weird. Fundamentally, Xerox ships a PPD file that lacks a DefaultResolution keyword. So it appears that InDesign has a very bad default -- it presumes that a PPD that specifies no resolution means it should assume a resolution of 25dpi or so.
If we edit the PPD file to add:
*DefaultResolution: 600dpi
*SetResolution 600dpi: ""
then suddenly Optimized Subsampling works fine.
It turns out the reality is a bit stranger. In Xerox's Mac drivers for the 7500DX, they ship "Xerox Phaser 7500DX.mpkg", an OSX package file. Inside that file they ship several Contents/Archive.pax.gz files (basically tar files), one in Contents/Packages/xeroxPrintDriver.pkg and one in Contents/Packages/xps104.pkg. The xps104 version is the one that gets installed, it's a 724440-byte file that ends with "*% End of XR7500DX.PPD, 724439 bytes."
But the xeroxPrintDriver version is different -- among other things, it has a *DefaultResolution line:
*DefaultResolution: 600dpi
*SetResolution 600dpi: ""
*% === Halftone Information ========
*DefaultHalftoneType: 9
*ScreenFreq: "60.0"
*ScreenAngle: "45.0"
*DefaultScreenProc: Dot
*ScreenProc Dot: "{180 mul cos exch 180 mul cos add 2 div} bind"
*DefaultTransfer: Null
*Transfer Null: "{ }"
*Transfer Null.Inverse: "{1 exch sub} bind"
*DefaultColorSep: ProcessBlack.60lpi.600dpi/60 lpi / 600 dpi
*% === For 60 lpi / 600 dpi ===============================
*ColorSepScreenAngle ProcessBlack.60lpi.600dpi/60 lpi / 600 dpi: "45.0"
(Its a 617603-byte file with "% Date: 07/06/05" in the initial headers and ends with "*%end of PPD file for Xerox Phaser 7500DX")
Maybe we should just switch to using the xeroxPrintDriver version, I don't know.
Really, this situation is quite annoying. Xerox installs a print driver that lacks a *DefaultResolution, screwing over InDesign users who use the default setting of Optimized subsampling. InDesign has a horrible default that chooses 25dpi instead of 300dpi or 600dpi if no resolution is specified.
Does anyone know who the right person at Xerox is to get their side fixed? I suppose we'll submit a wishform bug report to Adobe on this (grr, I hate being a volume license customer sometimes. Maybe if I buy a single copy of InDesign at street rates then can I submit real bug reports and get useful responses and tracking numbers? Anyone know?).
Oh, some of you will ask why we use optimized subsampling at all? The short answer is that it often makes a material difference in the time to print proofs of high-resolution jobs. Of course real jobs are not printed in-house on these printers, but we do proofs all the time. And a casual benchmark showed one job going from 18 minutes to 36 minutes, and another going from 5 minutes to 18 minutes; that's from switching off Optimized Subsampling. So it does have some real value for us. (I think, though, there might be a network problem with the printer those benchmarks were done on. Not sure. But the person doing the benchmarks did them on our slowest hardware to get a worst-case estimate.)
Any thoughts?

Some excellent sleuthing work.
As for
I suppose we'll submit a wishform bug report to Adobe on this ...
-- the wishform is nothing more than that, "I wished ..", and probably (likely ) Adobe only goes through this when they have absolutely nothing else left to do.
.. (grr, I hate being a volume license customer sometimes. Maybe if I buy a single copy of InDesign at street rates then can I submit real bug reports and get useful responses and tracking numbers? Anyone know?).
I wouldn't put my faith in Adobe's Customer Support either. They would probably give it a half-hearted try at their end (which of course works fine because they don't use a Xerox), tell you they can't reproduce the problem, then tell you not to use optimised sub-sampling, advise you to test with some other printer, and finally state "it's not our problem, complain to Xerox" and hang up on you.

ICal printing bug and workaround

iCal 8.0 (2026) OS X 10.10 French
When I try to print a calendar and in my iCal preferences "start week on" is set to monday, the printed calendar starts with tuesday
and when I try to print a calendar and in my iCal preferences "start week on" is set to sunday, the printed calendar starts with monday.
In my case, to set "start week on" to sunday is a workaround.
Thanks for reading me.
Best regards and cheers.

This issue is driving me nuts. Apple doesn't seem to care. I reported the issue to Apple the day Yosimite was released and a fix has not been in any of the updates.
Note also that the calendar does not print correctly from iCloud in weekly view.
Another issue is that you cannot print the date of the printing of the calendar. Often I print several calendars a week and by Sunday I don't know what is the latest copy printed. I have asked them to fix that as well.

3.1EA2 index edit display bug

When editing a table by right-clicking on the table in the Connections window [table->Edit->Indexes], indexes that end in -UK or -FK (because they support unique-key or foreign-key constraints) do not appear in the list of editable indexes. The indexes exist, and are visible in the Connections window (under Indexes) or when Opening the table, but not in the list of editable indexes within the Edit Table popup window.

Thank you for your quick and detailed response.
My experience differs from what you predict. See the DDL below. I created a couple of test tables, created primary keys on both, created a foreign-key constraint from one to the other, and an index of the same name to support that foreign-key. In SQL Developer, the index does not show up in the 'Edit' index pane, but does show up in the list of indexes when I 'Open' the table.

Bugs and Missing (Removed) Features in "Edit Bookmarks" in Safari 6.1

With the bookmark changes of Safari 6.1 , when you drag a bookmark into a bookmark folder in Safari's "Edit Bookmarks" mode, the display suddenly and uncontrollably bounces back to the top of the bookmark list, losing your place. This makes it impossible to resume editing your collection without scrolling down any extensive list of bookmark folders and subfolders to pick up where you left off.
The "Edit Bookmarks" mode has also taken away the ability to view and edit your bookmarks in a sort of column view. Before, when editing bookmarks, you could click on a bookmarks folder in pane to the left, and the sub-folders and/or bookmarks for that specific bookmark folder would display inn a list in the main window. Removing this ability again forces ridiculous amounts of scrolling to organize extensive collections of bookmarks and bookmark subfolders.
I use bookmark folders and subfolders extensively and constantly to organize research. These present a a big and annoying problem for me.
Does anyone have a solution I'm missing?

10.5.1 and dual display bug

I have been using my MacBook Core Duo (graphics card GMA 950) connected to a projector in dual display mode for over a year. After upgrading from 10.5 to 10.5.1, the macbook can function in mirror mode, but the projector does not receive a signal for dual display unless I restart the computer. The problem is consistent even though the projector has not changed.
Normally I plug in and the laptop screen changes to blue, then changes to dual display mode and sends a signal to the projector. Now, when I connect to the projector, the projector signal is black. I can switch to mirror mode using either F7 or via the Display preferences but there is no way to obtain dual display mode. Once I reboot, the problem is solved. This has been going on daily, each time with the same solution.

I get dozens of the "ACL found but not expected ..." messages, all on the contents of System/Library/User Templates/. When I go to System/Library/ in Finder, only the User Templates folder has a red icon on it, indicating that I do not have access to it (when logged in as an admin). The icon does not appear on any of the other folders in System/Library. Does anyone have any idea on what's going on?

Is this possible?

Thanks for the reply.
Your thoughts on frame by frame viewing are can do. However, the real time playback feature includes the concept of rendering the Timeline, when the program indicates the need to do so, to get the best possible preview of what you are seeing in the Edit area monitor. That is a major novel in itself. Each time you do a new edit you will get the render indicator message to ignore or act on.
