Renaming layer disappears (Bug Report)

Renaming layer in the timeline may disappear on you.
This video shows you how to work around it.
However, this is a bug that needs to be addressed.

On further testing I think the issue may not be directly related to layer masks at all.
Basically the issue is that the Gradient tool colors don't update to the 'default foreground/background colors' in cases where it seems that they should.
One example of such a case (as illustrated in the original post) is when the Gradient tool keeps the black/white color combo used for a layer mask in a previous document after switching to the current document where a non-masked layer is targeted and the default fg/bg colors have correctly reverted to white/white.
Example:
layer mask targeted in doc1 - notice synchronised Gradient and default fg/bg colors
after switching to non-masked layer in doc2, Gradient is still black/white although default fg/bg colors have reverted appropriately to white/white
Bug or not, it's something I wanted to point out as it seems inconsistent.

HREFTrack won't rename [ bug report ]

I'm trying to follow the Apple tutorial on creating HREF tracks in a quicktime Pro movie, but when I try to rename my Text Trac to HREFTrack and click enter, it renames back to Text Track and won't complete the change.
I'm very frustrated. This is the BIG reason I even purchased QTPro in the first place and now I'm only finding that at least a few QTPro users have this problem... there is no support phone number, no way to submit a bug report... AND if this is a bug, then it shouldnt' be listed that you can do this with QTPro if it won't do it.
(feeling a little cheated!)
I realize I might sound a bit nasty in my tone, but it's only because I've STRUGGLED to find an answer online, only to be rerouted to wrong pages, the feedback request didn't work because it said that I left a field blank that was filled in, so I couldn't submit feedback and I see that other people on this message board have this same problem that has gone unanswered.
In terms of a customer support, this is very poor on Apple's part. No one should have to go to this extent to get help on a software program that someone paid for... and it doesn't do what it was said it could do... AND there "seems" to be little to no help for paying customers.
So, yes, I'm frustrated. I just want it to do what I paid for it to do. Is that too much to ask?

Hi buddies,
My idea is to pop-up a web page while playback a .mov file.
I purchased a pro version key and followed the steps with QuickTime Player for windows available @ http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/hreftracks.html
Fron the above html,
Step 10
"In the Movie Properties window, choose the new text track. Rename the track HREFTrack exactly as shown (mixed upper and lower case, no space between HREF and Track)."
I am not able to rename Text Track to "HREFTrack". I wasted few hours blaming my box.
Please give me a solution to pop-up a web page while playback a .mov file.
Regards,
Vinu.P.k

BUG REPORT: Layers with 100% height in timeline knock bottommost layer(s) out of scrollable area

I have tried to post this twice to the official bug report page, but (somewhat hilariously) the bug report page bounces it back with an internal error about an unknown email address, so I'm posting here too just in case. As I have no idea how to report a bug about the bug report page, I decided I might as well just post the bug here.
CS5.5/Windows 7 - Verified on 6 different machines, some 64 bit, some 32 bit
If I have a layer in the timeline that has been expanded to 200% or 300% (via Layer Properties) height, the bottom-most layers gets pushed outside of the viewable area. The scrollbars simply don't scroll that far. I double-checked and this is new since CS4--which still works correctly--so never let it be said that the engineers aren't working on the code! :-/
Basically, I use this for audio layers, as it is nice to expand them to 200% so it's easier to see the waveform and guess where certain words are ending, etc when doing timeline syncing.
It can be worked around by expanding the timeline to be tall enough to bring everything into view, so I suspect the bug lies in the scrollable area calculation. However, since space is at a premium, usually I only have about 5-6 layers worth of space allocated to the timeline panel, so this bug hits me quite frequently (since I have all my old projects set up with 200% audio tracks).

I have the same soundcard (or at least the same modules loaded) and I'm getting good volume.
Things to check:
If you have the pcm and main volume all the way up in alsa mixer that should be it. You may have to adjust the volume separately if you use esd, arts, pulse, or jack (I don't use them).
Another thing to test is to make sure your using alsa not oss, and you may want to raise the oss level and see what happens.
The final thing is you want to check to see which sound device the audio programs are using (usually found in the preferences).
If none of that works, then you're out of luck. It would help if you post what sound programs you are using and what sound daemons you are using.
Here is my Daemons line from /etc/rc.conf
DAEMONS=(@syslog-ng @network @netfs @crond @alsa @hal @fam)
So i would think im using alsa not oss. but how would i go about raising the oss to make sure? there is no "oss" option in alsamixer. I have tried just abuot every audio progream there is and even firefox, all of them produce about half of the maximum volume level.

Bug Report: Page # and Icon Lost After Rename

I love the new file management features in version 10.3 but I noticed some problems right away.
After renaming a document, the current page position is lost and the document opens at page 1. This first one I renamed was a 400-page book and this was a bit annoying. I realize this is consistent with the desktop version which does not save the page position, but it is inconsistent with the iPad behavior for opening and closing documents. A fix or a warning should be implemented.
Also lost is the document icon, which reverts to a generic Reader logo. This is more of a cosmetic thing. I noticed the icon does not get restored after opening the document. It seems necessary to scroll down to page 2 for the icon to refresh.

Here is the bug report page:

Any more information? Does this always happen? Sometimes?
Does it depend on the font used in Eclipse?
Does it depend on the Eclipse theme used?

Bug Report - Windows 8.0 - 6.0.1 USB arbitration causes USB keyboard driver failure

Can't find a place to submit a bug report. So here goes.
Full Error Message:
Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because a previous instance of the device driver is still in memory.
Problem Occurs:
Windows 8.0 x64
Vmware Player 6.0.1 build-1379776
Problem:
A USB keyboard ceases to function on the host operating system following the first host OS reboot after installing 6.0.1 on Windows 8.0. This issue does not occur with 6.0.0. The issue disappears upon uninstalling Player 6.0.1. Reinstallation allows Player to operate as expected, but issue re-appears after host OS reboot.
The issue happens immediately after host OS loads, and continues irrespective of whether VMWare Player is launched.
Looking at the keyboard drivers, the usb keyboard's driver has not loaded (see attached images). The built-in keyboard driver however reports no errors and continues to operate as usual.
Changing the USB keyboard device to that of a different manufacturer does not resolve the issue. Any USB keyboard driver appears to fail.
Work Around:
1) Launch msconfig
2) Disable VMWare USB arbitration service
3) Reboot
4) USB Keyboard works. VMWare Player continues to operate as normal, minus the ability to mount USB storage devices on the guest OS.

This issue was fixed on my PC as follows.
1) Taking ownership of the above usb*.sys files in the drivers folder
2) renaming them to usb*.sysold
3) Using Device Manager to uninstall all USB devices with the yellow warning ! next to them
4) Doing a Scan for Hardware changes via the Device Manager toolbar and then waiting a few moments whilst the USB devices are re-installed with signed drivers.
Hope this helps you....

Bug report: Naming a Bin after creating it with drag'n'drop

There seems to be a small bug when giving a newly created bin a name after creating it by drag'n'drop of several clips onto the "New Bin" icon.
To reproduce:
Select some clips in your project browser
Drag them onto the New Bin button
A new bin is created with the clips in it
- the bin name for it appears to be selected, and editable - just as if you had created a new empty bin by clicking the New Bin button
- type in a new name - it accepts the name fine, now press enter.
- your new name disappears, and *now* you are really in the mode to edit the bin name
- type your name again, and it works.
Work around:
When creating new bins by using drag'n'drop of clips onto the New Bin button, first press enter once to enter into the proper edit mode before giving the bin a new name.
(is there a better place to file bug reports?)

But I'll leave this here for the work-around in case anyone else needs it.

FAQ: I found a bug. How do I write a useful bug report? Or send bug files to Adobe?

If you think you've found a bug in Photoshop CS6, please post your findings here on the forums.
Here is a list of the information we'll want for you to gather at a minimum:
Clear and concise steps so that someone who isn't in front of your comptuer can reproduce the issue you are seeing
Include information on the operating system/version you are running. (e.g. "Mac OS 10.7.3" or "Win XP Service Pack 3")
Here are some more detailed instructions for writing a useful, complete bug report for us on the forums:
Provide a descriptive title that includes your OS information:Example: "Photoshop crashes when I save a JPEG file using the File>Save For Web & Devices... command (Mac OS 10.7.3)"
Provide concise, step-by-step details on how to reproduce the issue you are seeing.
Example:
Open an 8-bit, RGB image by selecting File>Open...
Create a new layer by clicking the "Create New Layer" button on the bottom of the Layers panel
Paint on the layer created in Step #2 using the default Brush tool
Choose File>Save For Web & Devices...
Make sure the optimized format is set to "JPEG" and set the Quality setting to "80"
Click the Save button at the bottom of the Save For Web & Devices dialog, choose the desktop as the location for saving the file
Provide a description of the "Result" you are observing:
Example: "Result: Photoshop crashes"
If there is an error dialog, please include the exact wording displayed in the dialog or provide a screen shot or video of the entire screen so we can see the dialog as well as the state of the application - i.e. what panels are shown, the state of the Layers panel, etc.
If the error is a visual defect, either in the user interface or the image itself, provide a screen shot or video of the entire screen so we can see the dialog as well as the state of the application - i.e. what panels are shown, the state of the Layers panel, etc.
Provide a description of the "Expected Result":
Example: "Expected Result: Photoshop to save JPEG file to the desktop, no crash"
In some cases this may be obvious (such as in the case of a crash) but in others, what you expect to happen may be different than what the application was designed to do. Please be as specific as possible.
Provide the crash log by submitting all crash reports, including your email address, for every single crash your encounter:
You may also include the contents of your crash log in your forum posts as well, but always submit them using the above instructions as well.
Crash logs are located on Macintosh here: Users/<your user name>/Library/Logs/CrashReporter
Provide your System Info from Photoshop: What's even more useful is if you can share your System Info from Photoshop as it contains all kinds of useful information (OS/version, graphics card, driver version, 3rd party plug-ins used, etc) that will help the team track down your issue.
On occasion, the Photoshop engineers may request that you provide problematic files in order to reproduce and debug your issue.
In these cases, please post the file somewhere using your own servers or one your favorite online document/distribution services and provide a URL/instructions to download the file:
Dropbox
Adobe SendNow
YouSendIt
If the file isn't something you can post publically, you can request that someone from the engineering team contact you to figure out a secure way to get the affected files.
Thanks,
The Photoshop Development Team

First thing would be to realise the exact error. Second would be to check your logs to see what you have installed/upgraded which might be causing this error. Third, google your error and see if matches turn up. Fourth, search in Arch bugtracker to see if a match exist. Else file a report.

Bug Report - Some items in your iTunes Library ... because the file could not be found.

10.6 and this is still this is a problem?!?!?!?!
Not like this is an obscure issue only affecting a few noobs. Google returns 11,200 results on this issue!t'
Can we PLEASE at least allow the list of broken files to be dumped as a text file so I can find them manually! guess not,
I'll just have to get out a pencil and write down 100 songs to spend my saturday looking up and fixing. Or I could let my wife purchase 100 songs she already has whenever this comes up...
What's really infurating is that non-technical wife thinks this means she must go to the iTunes store and buy them again. Is it just coincidence that this only happens to songs that we ripped from the CD with iTunes? Hmmmm?....
what follows is for the programmers, please make sure this get's to the development group.
iTunes is the only music library manager, Media player was not even activated.
iTunes is configured to "Keep folder organized", "Copy files to folder when adding"
this has been a recurring issue since iTunes 9.x for us
The issue is persisted accross system and library rebuilds.
some of the same songs recurr but most of the time the list differs.
Library survived transfer to new computer and back for a system rebuild (new hdd) w/o this issue.
I'm guessing 100 songs is an arbitrary limit for error reporting.
Songs seem to get lost for the following reasons.
Track number added to filename
Spelling of some tags like Album, Artist, Title differ in iTunes library and the file path !!!!
Only seems to happen to mp3 files.
My suspicion is that iTunes is downloading meta data from the store and updating the mp3 tags and iTunes Music Library.xml then predicting the new file location without actually moving the file to that new location. I've enabled insert/update auditing on the NTFS folder to see if that provided any new info. I'm also capturing iTunes Music Library.xml so I can compare it to the new one WHEN this happens again and see if there is a pattern there.
Would love a bug number and feedback chanel on this.

The missing file thing happens when files are no longer where iTunes expects to find them. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the files, or that the drive they live on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files in a relatively sensible structure, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .
Although you say you haven't used Media Player it can be raised as a background process by visiting enabled web sites. Possibly worth you reviewing this post: Getting iTunes & Windows Media Player to play nicely

Unlike Windows Media player iTunes doesn't have a feature to automatically update tag data, although it will sometimes spot when a 3rd party program has (say during playback) and then update its own copy of the data. The iTunes (Music) Library xml file is provided for querying by third party software and is rewritten every time there is a change to the library, but is otherwise of no relevance to iTunes. The library is maintained in the iTunes Library.itl file. I suppose what could be happening is that iTunes issues a command to the file system to move a file based upon its tag, updates its knowledge of where the file is supposed to be, but the OS fails to move the file for some reason. Alternatively everything could go as planned, but iTunes could fail to get the updated copy of the library written out to disk so next time you start you get the previously stored locations.
I have ideas of my own about the best way to organise my media, but I'm quite familiar with the way iTunes does it. It might be interesting to see the details of one of the broken tracks, the path iTunes thinks it is at, and the actual path, in case there is anything that can be deduced.
Apple don't run an open bug tracking system so you won't be able to follow reports/progress based on a bug number. You can drop a line to iTunes Feedback or get a free Apple Developer account and submit a bug report report there.

Can't rename layer in PSE 11

When I click on the name edit box of a layer in the layers palette it changes from grey to white then immediately changes to grey and I cannot type into it. The same thing happens if I right click the layer and choose Rename Layer from the context menu. What must I do to rename a layer? This worked perfectly in PSE 9 but seems to be a bug now. Thanks.

Which platform, which version of your OS? It works for me. Try deleting the preferences: go to the editor preferences>general and click this button, then restart the editor:

Bug report regarding SSL library used by Sharepoint web server

I have attempted to report this by email to the [email protected] address, but they tell me this is not the correct address to use and have refused to give me a better one or forward my bug report on to the correct people. I'm hoping that by posting it here I will get the attention of someone who can fix the problem.PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:Accessing the Sharepoint web servers (157.55.229.87) is not possible from a Scientific Linux 6.5 system using OpenSSL 1.0.1e. Analysis of the network traffic shows the client successfully connects to the server and sends a TLS handshake. The server responds with a TCP ACK, but does not include a TLS handshake response. After 30 seconds the server tears the connection down with a TCP RST.
This is reproducable with the following command:
openssl s_client -showcerts -connect sexeysschool-my.sharepoint.com:443
DIAGNOSIS:
The client's TLS handshake contains several length fields - one in the TLSv1 record layer, another in the Client Hello handshake payload and one for each of the cipher suites list and extension list. Each of the length headers is 16 bits long, so should be able to contain any value up to 65535.
By hand-editing the handshake packet and replaying it, I have discovered that if the value of the TLSv1 record layer length header is <= 255, the Sharepoint server responds correctly. However, if the length header exceeds 255, the Sharepoint server does not respond.
Under Scientific Linux 6.5, 74 cipher suites (totalling 148 octets) and 5 extensions (totalling 65 octets) are presented by the client, yielding a TLSv1 record layer length of 258 octets.
Please let me know if I can be of any further help, and if possible it would be useful to have some feedback regarding this issue so that we can keep our customers informed.

Hi Mark,
According to your description, my understanding is that the Article Date column displayed with the value based on GMT0 in the Refinement web part.
Microsoft SharePoint stores date and time values in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC, but also named GMT or Zulu) format, and almost all date and time values that are returned by members of the object model are in UTC format. So the value
of the Article Date column stores the date and time in UTC format in the database, and the search indexes the UTC value of the Article Date column after crawling the database so that it displays the UTC value in Refinement web part.
The list column values displayed in the lists that are obtained through the indexer for the SPListItem class are already formatted in the local time for the site so if you’re working on current context list item and fetch a datetime field
like so SPContext.Current.ListItem["Your-DateTime-Field"] you’ll retrieve a DateTime object according the specified time zone in the regional settings.

Filing Bug Reports With Apple?

I SWEAR Apple is getting more and more like Microsoft.
Can some one PLEASE tell me how to file a BUG REPORT to Apple on the 10.5.3 update? I am getting graphic driver problems again like they were on 10.5.0 and 10.5.1.
Contacting Apple with a direct bug report seems near impossible and the website is of little help in finding this information. I am outside of Apple Care support.

Bug report follow-up

is there a way to follow-up on a bug report that i submitted? i have the bug number, but would like to see if the report was understood, filled out properly and determine the status of the bug report.
thanks,

They comment on bugs if actions were taken. Otherwise - don't expect any feedback.

Solaris8 and 9 (possibly 7) /dev/poll driver bug report.

Hello,
I'd like to report a bug in the solaris 8 and 9 /dev/poll driver (poll(7d)).
As i do not have a support account with sun or anything like that, there
seems to be no other way to do that here (which is of course a very sad
thing).
Bug details:
The /dev/poll device provides an ioctl-request (DP_ISPOLLED) for checking
if a particular filedescriptor is currently in the set of monitored
filedescriptors for that particular /dev/poll fd set (open /dev/poll fd).
A quote from the documentation of the poll(7d) manual page taken from
Solaris9:
"DP_ISPOLLED ioctl allows you to query if a file descriptor is already in
the monitored set represented by fd. The fd field of the pollfd structure
indicates the file descriptor of interest. The DP_ISPOLLED ioctl returns 1
if the file descriptor is in the set. The events field contains the
currently polled events. The revents field contains 0. The ioctl returns 0
if the file descriptor is not in the set. The pollfd structure pointed by
pfd is not modified. The ioctl returns a -1 if the call fails."
It says that when you query for an filedescriptor which is currently being
monitored in the set, that it would return 1, and change the events field of
the pollfd structure to the events it's currently monitoring that fd for.
The revents field would be set to zero.
However the only thing which actually happens here, is that FD_ISPOLLED
returns 1 when the fd is in the set and 0 if not. When the fd is in the
set, when FD_ISPOLLED returns 1, the events field remains unmodified, but
the revents field gets changed.
A small sample code to illustrate:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/devpoll.h>
main() {
struct pollfd a;
int dp_fd = open("/dev/poll", O_WRONLY);
a.fd = 0; /* stdin */
a.events = POLLIN; /* we monitor for readability, POLLIN=1 */
a.revents = 0;
write(dp_fd, &a, sizeof(a));
a.fd = 0;
a.events = 34; /* filled in with bogus number to show malfunctioning */
a.revents = 0;
printf("DP_ISPOLLED returns: %d\n", ioctl(dp_fd, DP_ISPOLLED, &a));
printf("a.fd=%d, a.events=%hd, a.revents=%hd\n", a.fd, a.events,
a.revents);
According to the documentation of /dev/poll and namely DP_ISPOLLED this
program is supposed to print the following:
DP_ISPOLLED returns: 1
a.fd=0, a.events=1, a.revents=0
However it prints the following:
DP_ISPOLLED returns: 1
a.fd=0, a.events=34, a.revents=1
You can take any number instead of '34' and it will simply remain untouched
after the DP_ISPOLLED ioctl-request.
I hope it's clear now that the solaris8 and solaris9 (and probably solaris7
with /dev/poll patch too) DP_ISPOLLED implementation is broken.
This bug is also easily illustrated by looking at the solaris8 kernel sourcecode:
<snippet osnet_volume/usr/src/uts/common/io/devpoll.c:dpioctl()>
case DP_ISPOLLED:
pollfd_t pollfd;
polldat_t *pdp;
if (pollfd.fd < 0) {
mutex_exit(&pcp->pc_lock);
break;
pdp = pcache_lookup_fd(pcp, pollfd.fd);
if ((pdp != NULL) && (pdp->pd_fd == pollfd.fd) &&
(pdp->pd_fp != NULL)) {
pollfd.revents = pdp->pd_events;
if (copyout(&pollfd, (caddr_t)arg,
sizeof(pollfd_t))) {
mutex_exit(&pcp->pc_lock);
DP_REFRELE(dpep);
return (set_errno(EFAULT));
*rvalp = 1;
</snippet>
its' clearly visible that the code writes the current monitored events to
the revents field:
'pollfd.revents = pdp->pd_events;'
and that it doesnt set revents to zero.
It's funny to see that this has been like this since Solaris8 (possibly 7). That means nobody ever used DP_ISPOLLED that way or people were simply to lazy to file a bug report.
Another funny thing related to this. is that Hewlett-Packard did seem to know about this. Since HP-UX11i version 1.6 they also support /dev/poll. From their manual page i ll quote some sentences from their WARNING session:
"The ioctl(DP_ISPOLLED) system call also returns its result in the revents member of the pollfd structure, in order to be compatible with the implementation of the /dev/poll driver by some other vendors."
Hopefully this will get fixed.
I also like to reexpress my very negative feelings towards the fact that you're not able to file bug reports when you do not have a support contract. Ridiculous.
Thanks,
