Setting caret visibility - is this a bug?

I am using a readonly JTextPane but I need the caret to be visible. It seems that by default a readonly JTextPane has the caret hidden, so I call
transTextPane.getCaret().setVisible(true);
before showing the GUI.
However when my program loses focus the caret disappears, which is a bit odd, but more importantly when the program gains focus again the caret is still hidden.
Surely if I explicitly setVisible(true) then the caret should remain visible until I call setVisible(false)?
To get around this I have had to add a windowActivated window listener which performs a setVisible(true).
I am using j2se 1.4.1_01
Colin

the text field sets the caret to visible/non-visible as
focus is gained/lost on the text field.Thanks for you comment, and that sounds fine, but when the window regains focus the caret is still hidden, even though I had originally set the caret visibility to true.
I do not have a problem with setting a JTextPane to readonly causing the default caret visibility setting to become false; but if I then explicity change this to true I don't expect a de-focus and re-focus cycle to cause my setting to be ignored.
Surely the JTextPane should respect your explicit settings whether it is set to readonly or not.

Aspect ratio when exporting full quality -- is this a bug?

Hi,
I'm new to iMovie. I'm really enjoying playing around with it and think it's a really nice tool and very intuitive. But there's one thing that is bothering me. I'm working with 16:9 aspect ratio (Widescreeen) as the project type which corresponds to how the movies were recorded (a Canon MVX4i or Optura 600 in the USA I think). Everything works fine until I try to export in full quality format (using Export). The .dv file only plays back in 4:3 aspect ratio. I tried using the Expert settings, with 16:9 set and both PAL and NTSC but QuickTime and Preview still only see the movie in 4:3 aspect. If I understand correctly, the aspect ratio is just a flag that is set somewhere.
Is this a bug or am I missing something? I don't have QT Pro by the way?
One more question: in expert settings for DV Export settings, does anyone have a recommendation for what I shold pick for DV Format, and Scan mode?
Thanks very much in advance,
David

Hi David,
This isn't entirely unique to DV. But in simplistic terms what happens is that the widescreen footage that you capture with your camera is the same resolution as square screen. The number of pixels (the dots that make up the picture) for PAL, which is the format used in Portugal I believe, is 720 x 576.
The pixels are squashed into a kind of oblong shape but then when played on widescreen kit the pixels become square causing the picture to stretch sideways. When you view the footage in QT it simply shows the picture as is - meaning that it outputs the picture as 720x576 with the oblong display.
However, when you view the footage in iMovie there's a flag in the file that tells iMovie that the footage is wide and therefore to stretch it accordingly.
There's a differing opinion of whether this display difference in QT is a bug or a feature. As Dan says, if you want to display widescreen footage in QT you're better off exporting a widescreen QT movie using the expert settings:
From within iMovie...
- Select File --> Export from the menu
- In the Quicktime section choose Compress Movie For "Expert Settings"
- Click the Share button
- In the save dialog box that pops up Select "Movie to QuickTime Movie" in the Export section
- Click Option...
- In the Movie Settings dialog box click on settings
- Select DV - PAL from the compression type
- Keep the Frame Rate at Current
- In the Compressor settings choose your Quality
- Set the scan mode to Interlaced
- Set the Aspect Ratio to 16:9 ( this is the bit that tells QT to play in widescreen)
- Click OK
- In the sound section click the Setting button
- In the sounds settings dialog box set the Format to Linear PCM
- Set the channels to Stereo (L R)
- Set the Rate to 48.000kHz
- Set the Sample Rate Converter settings to Quality Normal and the Linear PCM Settings to a sample size of 16 bits.
- Uncheck all the other options (Little Endian, Floating Point and Unsigned)
- Click OK
- Uncheck the Prepare for Internet Streaming box
- Click OK and set a destination for your file.
- Click save to compress the file.
The resulting file that is created above should now show in QT as widescreen. However you should bear in mind that you should work off the raw DV file rather than this new created one in iMovie. As a rule of thumb you should be thinking a little bit about the output media of the file. So for example if your final output medium is DVD then you can continue to work in iMovie and iDVD without problem. If you want to create a QT file for viewing on your computer then it's advisable to create a seperate QT file for this pupose.
If you'd like to know a little more about the way aspect ratios works here's some links for you:

Hope this makes a little more sense now and sorry if I've covered stuff you already know. Hopefully this information will be of use to you but post back if you need more help.
Cheers.

Plug your phone into the wall charger for at least 30 minutes...make sure you have a sim card in the phone...then:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.

Is this a bug or a simple Newbie mistake?

Hi.
I'm brand new to JavaFX, so I'm probably misunderstanding something. I've searched the web looking for information concerning it, but since it involves the 'new' operator, it's hard to filter down.
Anyhow, here is the problem:
I'm getting different results when I instantiate an object
using the 'new' operator vs. the declaring it the more
accepted JavaFX way.
This is how I found the "problem".
In order to learn how to program in JavaFX, I found a simple game from the Internet, "Blasteroids", to look at (http://www.remwebdevelopment.com/dev/a41/Programming-Games-in-JavaFX-Part-1.html). I copied and pasted this into:
NetBeans IDE 6.9 (Build 201006101454)
JavaFX 1.3 and got the game to work.
In playing around with it, I converted instantiating an object from the "normal" way:
    var a: Asteroid = Asteroid
        type: type
        posX: x
        posY: y
        moveAngle: moveAngle
        velocityX: Math.sin(Math.toRadians(moveAngle))
            * randomVelocity
        velocityY: -Math.cos(Math.toRadians(moveAngle))
            * randomVelocity
        rotation_increment: rotation_increment
        active: true;
        return a;To using the "new" operator:
        var a:Asteroid = new Asteroid();
        a.type = type;
        a.posX = x;
        a.posY = y;
        a.moveAngle = moveAngle;
        a.velocityX = Math.sin(Math.toRadians(moveAngle)) * randomVelocity;
        a.velocityY = -Math.cos(Math.toRadians(moveAngle))* randomVelocity;
        a.rotation_increment = rotation_increment;
        a.active = true;
        return a;This is the only changes I made. I would "toggle" back and forth between the two, and I would always get the same results.
When I did this conversion, the ship would show up, but the asteroids were gone. Actually, I think they were invisible because every once and a while, my ship would "blow up" and get reset to it's starting position. I tried adding:
a.visible = true;
But that didn't help.
Indecently, I did the same thing with defining the "Stage" using a new operator, and got differing results:
1. the window would open in the bottom right of my screen (vs filling up
most of my screen. I would have to drag it up to play.
2. it had a regular windows border with the minimize, maximize, close
buttons in the top right (vs. a non-movable, border less window with no
maximize, minimize, close buttons.)
Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?
Thank you

I suspect you've run into bugs in the Blasteroids program and possibly in Stage in the JavaFX runtime.
For simple cases one would think there should be no difference between this:
var so = SomeObject {
    a: 1
    b: 2
    c: 3
}and this:
var so = SomeObject { }; // or var so = new SomeObject();
so.a = 1;
so.b = 2;
so.c = 3;However, these cases do run through different code paths. In the first case, the init-block of SomeObject sees all the values provided by the caller. In the second case, the triggers on the a, b, and c variables would have to modify the internal state of the object appropriately. If the object has a lot of complex state, the result at the end of setting the three variables (and running their triggers) might not be identical to the object literal after initialization. This is most likely a bug. If an object isn't prepared to have its state variables modified after initialization, it should make them public-init instead of public.
Depending on the object, though, initializing things via an object literal vs. setting variables after initialization might actually have different semantics. This seems to be the case with Stage. The Stage's size is established by its contents at initialization time, and its location at initialization time is determined by using its contents' size and the screen size to center the Stage on the screen. If you create the Stage empty, and then later add contents, the sizing/centering calculations will be based on an empty Stage and will thus give a different result.
Using the object literal technique is idiomatic JavaFX Script, and it's probably more efficient than setting variables after initialization, so I'd recommend sticking with object literals.

Is this a bug or a flaw in my install?

I just finished a new computer build. Therefore, a new install of PS CC2014. OS is Windows 8.1.
When I open Camera Raw, start processing a picture: If I try to use the "Adjustment Brush", regardless of the diameter I choose, the area that is "adjusted" is not under the selected area shown by the circles. It is about a full diameter away from the shown centre, at about a 45 degree angle down and to the right (like, about 4 o'clock).
I also notice that the "Spot Removal" tool is doing a similar thing (selection off set). All other tools seem to be ok.
If I reduce the size down far enough, at some point the circles turn into a double lined cross. At that point, the selected centre is correct, but if I increase the size, as soon as the circles, denoting the selected area, become visible again, this anomaly occurs.
I've never heard of this before and my previous installs of PS have all been ok.
Has any one else encountered this? Is it me or a bug or my install?
Thanks for any help on this.

I think we can eliminate the graphics card as a suspect (and therefore its driver). I just re-connected my monitor using the internal graphics processor. The Intel 4600. Not fantastic but actually has better features than the card I had hooked up before. (I might as well stay with this for now. It's an HDMI hook up.)
The problem is still there.
This gets more curious all the time. At this point It would seem that the the likelihood of this being a bug is more or less zero, as myself and one other individual are the only ones reporting it.
So, I'm thinking it has to be a flawed install. Maybe some line/lines of code are corrupt, if that can happen while still maintaining the rest of the programs integrity.
Any other thoughts anyone?

Suddenly cannot place image or resize file without losing resolution quality. Is this a bug?

I have CS3 and have been using Photoshop for several years. Today I randomly encountered a problem I have never had before.
I created a new file, 468 x 60 pixels with a resolution of 200. I then placed a file of a 4.95MB photo in this file. The size of the photo is quite large (resolution also 200) and I should have had to resize it way down to fit in small 468 x 60 space I had.
Instead, it placed the photo as a much smaller image, almost like a thumbnail of the original. When I went to resize the photo to make it larger, the resolution was terrible.
So then I went to the original file of the photo, copied it, went back to the 468 x 60 file and pasted it. It pasted it as the true size, but when I decreased the size, the resolution went bad. How does that even make sense?
So then I went back to the original file of the photo again and resized it down from there. The resolution went downhill again!
I have tried this with multiple other photos and file sizes and dimensions. I cannot place any large photo file and keep its accurate dimensions/resolutions. I also cannot resize any photo down without losing pixel quality.
The only thing weird that showed up right at the beginning of this whole process was that the pixel aspect ratio window kept popping up even before I'd open a file (it has been set to square).
I have reset all PS preferences through ctrl-alt-shift. I have gone through the Adobe update process. I have done disk clean-up and cleared off nearly 10GB of room on my hard drive. I have restarted over and over. I have also tried this process in Illustrator and had no problems.
Is this a bug? A memory problem? Never have I run into this issue before and I feel like I'm going crazy!

You could make the top layer active and then Cmd-Shift-Option-E
(stamp visible).
Do the trim and crop and then delete the top layer afterwords.

IOS 6.1 can no longer air print to HP 6700; it worked before with no problems; is this a bug with 6.1?

We have 2 iPads (2nd and 4th generation). Both have been air printing without trouble to our HP 6700, which is on Apple's list of supported printers. Both iPads were updated to OS 6.1 last night. Now when attempting to air print something, the HP 6700 does not appear on the printer options list of printers to select from. Interestingly, the other supported printer, and HP 8500, does show on the list, but when attempting to air print to it, this results in an error message "An error occurred printing this document." This error happens in multiple apps that support air printing. Is this a bug in iOS 6.1?
The printers are visible in AirPort, AND I can print from a computer (MB Air and a Dell Win7) to the HP 6700 without problems, but no longer from the iPads. What gives? I have powered down the HP 6700 and back up. I even restarted the AirPort Express. The problem persists with printing from the iPads.

Hi, everyone, I yesterday bought a HP 6700, after setting everything like supposed to be, I could scan to computer and by eWeb service but not Print directly from iMacs (10.7.5 and 10.8.5) or iPhone, after installing things as suggesting here and HP support site, I decides to called HP support, and they do something, first they force to eliminated all printers from Print & Scan pannel (system preferences) by right-click over printer list on that pannel, and then create the printer from the IP address instead of by default selecting it from list (bonjour), that make the iMacs start printing fine. But iPhone still not. Then HP support suggested that maybe my router didn't support bonjour or it was not activated, so I tried with my phone company with no luck, since they told me that they never hear about this and that my router didn't support it, even if I think they didn't know, period. So I decided to create a network over my regular network, using an Airport Express, I create a new network (connected the Airport through ethernet cable to the router), and then place the iMacs and iPhone over the new network, restarted printer and iPhone, and then finally the iPhone could print on the HP 6700.
So I suggest you try first force the printer using the IP address, thaht solved the problem with iMacs, and then if you can, used another router cause maybe the one you use have "issues" with bonjour/airprint etc....
Hope this help.

Shatter Effect : Is this a Bug?

Hi
I was using the shatter effect last week (AE CS3, Mac OS 10.5.2, Mac Pro) after not having used it for years. Anyway, I had a layer which I wanted to shatter at the end. So I split the layer where I wanted the effect to occur and added the shatter effect to the end half. However all I could see in the layer was the final state of the shatter effect. Despite being applied to a separate layer (the beginning having been effectively trimmed off with the split) the effect was still being applied from the start of the media! I expected the effect to apply only to the visible footage.
I won't lie and say this didn't cost me a lot of time ... I tried to repeat the effect on another computer... but used the whole clip as a sample and so it worked fine! Then I started ploughing through plug in versions .... I'll leave it there! However when I finally twigged that the effect was always operating on the whole media clip I was able to work around by animating the radius from the clip start to it's IN point on my layer.
Seems odd though.... unworkable on a long clip!
Is this a bug? Or am I missing something fundamental?
Thanks
Lee

Sounds to me like you've missed the most important part of controlling shatter. There's never a need to split a layer. All you have to do is animate the force size, or value, or position to shatter the layer where and when you want it to.
Shatter is based on a real world model. In real life, if you want to shatter something you have to apply a force to an object. In AE you can adjust and animate the size of the force, the position of the force, and the amount of the force. Set size to 0 and nothing will happen. Move the force behind or in front of the layer and nothing will happen. Set the value of the force to 0 and nothing will happen. It's just like real life. By default Force 1 is set to break apart most of your layer. Force 2 is available for a second kick to the pieces.
I've never figured out why most users seem to miss this concept. If force 1 is 0 then there's nothing to make the layer shatter. Just set it to 0, Set the keyframe as a hold keyframe, then move down the time line to where you want the effect to begin and add value to the force 1.
You should also try moving the position of the force or animating the size.

Is this a bug in OWB 11.2 - importing table metadata for character columns

The Oracle® Warehouse Builder Data Modeling, ETL, and Data Quality Guide provides an overview of the data types supported.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/owb.112/e10935/orcl_data_objx.htm
It says that for VARCHAR2 data type it saws (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/owb.112/e10935/orcl_data_objx.htm#CHDFIADI )
"Stores variable-length character data. How the data is represented internally depends on the database character set. The VARCHAR2 data type takes a required parameter that specifies a maximum size up to 4,000 characters"
That means , I guess, it says that when I import a table, any columns of type VARCHAR2(10) in the database should have its length show as characters in OWB, so a column of type Varchar2(10) in the Oracle database, should be shown as Varchar2(10) when imported into OWB table metadata via the OWB import function.
However, if I have a database that set-up as a single-byte and import a table using the OWB import function a column that has a size of e.g. 10 in the database, is imported as OWB table metadata and the size is 10. Correct, I am happy.
However, if the database is modified to support multi-byte characters, ALTUF16 encoding with the semantics set to "CHAR", then when I import the same table into OWB, OWB reports the size as 40, I guess its 40 bytes as in 10 characters @ 4 bytes per character.
Is this a bug in OWB, as the datatype in the Oracle DB is varchar2(10), should OWB after importing a table not also report the column as VARCHAR2(10) ? Currently, is shows the column as varchar2(40).

I noticed that myself in our project.
Our varchars2 are defined as VARCHAR2(xxx CHAR) - OWB puts the size*4
In fact if you have special characters like umlauts (ü,ä,ö,...) it will use 4 bytes per character.
You can try it yourself. Define a Varchar2(1 CHAR) and manually change the size of the Column in your mapping inside OWB (in filters, joins or your target table).
Then shoot an umlaut through the mapping and will end up with a "too small" error.
Dont mind the size*4 issue - we totally ignored it and run without error since 4 years now.

Is this a bug of Outlook 2007 about images displaying in signature?

I've done many tests and researched on website or MS KB. But still got no solution.
My issue is:
I make a signature with images linking from website which can be easily accessed.
I setup this signature in Outlook 2007, when I compose a new mail, and choose the signature I set. It won't show the images with a high percentage rate, meanwhile, I try to get into "Signature"-"Signature...",
Outlook2007 gets stuck, then you can not close Outlook or open Internet Explorer unless you kill the process of OUTLOOK.exe.
1. Test are done under a clean XP system and Office 2007 standard fresh installed. Also there are some other staffs who help me test the signature that report the same issue on Office 2007.
2. Images are rendered in 96dpi. They are all in very small size stored on website, can be easily accessed without network connctivity problem.
3. The signature is made by simple HTML language not by Outlook signature setup wizard. but in this case, you can ignore which method I use to create the signature. The images in signature can be displayed well in Outlook 2003 &
2010. Also I have tried insert images using "link to file" in Outlook signature setup wizard, got same issue.
4. Don't suggest me to store the images locally. These images should be updated after a period. You can not ask the company staffs to update these images manually by themselves. and even if the images are stored locally, the images won't be shown
in Outlook 2007 with a high percentage rate.
5. I've tried setup signature with or without an account profile, got same issue.
6. I 've tried without an accout profile, just copy the signature file to Outlook signature folder, unplug the network cable, and "new mail" then load the signature, of course, the images won't be shown because network connection doesn't exist,
and then when I try to get into "Signature"-"Signature...", the Outlook interface also gets stuck. So I think Outlook 2007 may have some problem on detecting the network connectivity.
7. It is not possible to upgrate the version of Office. Since Office 2007 isn't out of date and is powerful enough for us, no one want to pay more money just to avoid this issue.
I don't know why I cannot upload a screenshot for troubleshooting. If needed. I can send a mail with screenshot attached.
So far to now, I still get no solution, I think this is a bug of Outlook 2007, because the same signature, there is no problem on Outlook 2003 & 2010. Hope someone of MS staff can see this article and report to technical support center.
I would appriciate anyone's kindly help but please consider that you understand what I am talking about. I don't want to waste time for each of us.
thanks in advanced.

Please guide me in this problem if possible because it is urgent for me.
Thanks in advance.

Hallo,
if I understand your problem correctly, you are trying to call MS Word on your server from Java code in your server. This is not to be recommended!
I have seen references to this problem elsewhere in the Sun forums but cannot at the moment find them. There is also something in MSDN. As far as I remember, the story goes like this:
1. Word is a program for client PCs.
2. Word expects to have a GUI available for it to display messages and so on.
3. Although you can control Word over OLE, 1 and 2 above still apply.
4. If you still want to use Word in your server, then on your own head be it.

Is this a bug for 10.3.9 installation

Hi everyone especially mac experts
This is my first visit to this forum. I have been using my Powerbook g4 12 inch for 3 - 4 years, never had any problem til now!!
My mac has problem all the sudden, got hacked or something, I dont know, I cannot even restart, it hung since apple logo appear, only way is insert install disc + press C with only one option it allowed me to do "erase and install" no backup no upgrade!!!!
Anyway, that is not my question, it just a whining, my question is when i tried to reinstall with my installation CD that came with my powerbook and/or panther CD with 3 blacks and 1 codeX, which I got it when I was a member of developer connect. The series of problem are as follow
1. during installation of CD2, i got installation failure with error messages said some packages cannot install!!!
2. after i ignore (1), by click "quit" which is only one option anyway, os started to ask me to fill in all information include setting user name and password for admin account. so i did. Then I start to do "software update", and it failed to update/install QuickTime 7.x.x. Then i tried to download only, unpackage and install myself, it has the same results
3. From (2) i search solution on mac website by using winXP, and found that i have to remove some packages in /Library/../receipts/ and reinsert CD 2 again to reinstall, cool.. i will give it a shot. Unfortunately, it asked for admin password and i could not give a correct password, but i remember and have it written down on a paper. Then i check at Preference->account->admin and see it shows 7 digits or * instead of 9 digits. I wonder that someone might hacked into my computer and change it.
Therefore, I decide to reinstall again, this time, i spent more time by include erase disk with option "write zero to disk" and no network connection to make sure there is no trace from hacker! Unfortunately, I got the same problem from (1) to (3) without update software d/l. therefore, i believe (3)is a bug it is obvious from my observation, if i cannot solve (3) i will not be able to solve (1) and (2), and i will not have my mac back to work
Please give me advice, i already lost all my data and spent my weekend trying to fix these problems, which non can be fixed (yet)
Thanks in advance

Roam,
Thanks again for your suggestion,
"Furthermore one should always Repair Permissions both before doing a Software Update and again afterwards."
I honestly dont know anything about this "Repair Permissions" from the name, i though it is a verification of authentication to repair OS or some kind of credential issue, and since i m admin user then there is no point to verify it, i should be allowed to do so. Again it is my first time to do this thing in 3 - 4 years of using panther, every time i update software i never ever do this! If this step is essential for every update and installation why dont apple put them as one of TODO step during the processes (as licensing agreement) instead of keep them as an option (just my thought) Anyway, I m glad u tell me about it, and i will give it a shot tonight.
"That may because you didn't have sufficient disk space. In fact running out of disk space can create all sorts of problems. Please tell me how disk space is available on your
start up drive."
That what I thought coz i have only 5.x GB left in 60 GB HD. Thats why I claimed as whining and have to scarify the lost of data by reinstall panther in order to get my mac back to work
"So are you saying it is a bug or it is a hacker, I don't believe it is either"
Please see second update info about password, and i m not impose anyone to believe, thats why the topic is a questioning sentence "Is this a bug.."
"This Discussion site is not Applecare. The people here give their time voluntarily to those who are receptive to help."
Thats why i ask for "mac expert" not "apple authority/technician" and always appreciate any suggestion.
Anyway, that great to hear from you and i have learned new thing from your suggestion. I will let u know when i have tried it.

Setting caret visibility - is this a bug?
