Strange issue when typing a number in Lion

Hi,
I have a very rare issue when I type a number now and since I updated my system to Lion, no matter which program am I using, Safari, textedit, mail, etc. Every time I type a number (just one), it suddently erase itself, doesn't happen when I type more than one, it's very annoying and this didn't happen when I had Snow Leopard.
Any ideas?

…and so on = 58376163294144?
Could you please answer the questions, this is like drawing hens teeth.
I have entered the numbers but since I don't know how your sequence is input I can't do the preceeding numbers to the one that changes.
…which doesn't when I do it in Pages '09 v4.05:

Strange issue when scaling text

Hi,
I'm using inDesign CS6 and there's a strange issue when rescaling a text with overflow to 200%:
As you can see, the fourth paragraph doesn't change its font size, even if it has exactly the same configuration. This happens apparently randomly to some paragraphs, or even lines of a paragraph in some cases.
The weirdest thing is that I have tried the same action with the same .indd file in other computers (another Mac and a Windows one, both CS6) and it scales properly all paragraphs. So I checked all the preferences from one computer to the other, and even if they are the same, the scaling issue still happens.
Any hints?

Strange issue when pausing LONG audiobook--pressing play again changes the

Strange issue when pausing LONG audiobook--pressing play again changes the position within the book--it doesn't start back exactly where it left off.
The audiobook of "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" is between 18 and 19 HOURS long--all as one long track/file.
I've noticed that when I pause while listening and then press play again, it "rewinds" and starts playing portions of the audiobook from about 10 minutes prior--but the time stamp doesn't change. At least this is the time frame from the first "test". Other pauses/plays may result in different time differences.
The first time this happened, I didn't realize what it was doing. I pressed play (from the pause) and I heard a portion that I had already played. I thought that the bookmark just didn't "remember" as it should have, so I scrubbed forward trying to find where I remembered leaving off. If you end up pausing/playing even a couple of times with this happening each time, the portion of the audiobook that you're playing and the time stamp becomes COMPLETELY off! For example, almost an hour into the time stamp was really only about 10-15 minutes into the actual book.
I'm not sure if this makes any sense, but hopefully it does to someone. It's very frustrating to have this happen simply because you had to pause while listening. You have to scrub backwards or forwards each time to find out where you REALLY left off at and the time stamp becomes of no help value since it doesn't change as the playback position moves itself.
I'm sure that this is something happening due to the extreme length of the audio file. That maybe it can't track as precisely as it could with shorter lengths. ???
Any ideas? Has anyone else seen this happen? Any ideas on whether or not there is anything that can be done to prevent this?

I'm glad that I'm not the only one having this
problem. It's ironic that we're both having issues
with the SAME audiobook. I haven't had a chance to
listen to Books 1-5 much to see if they have the same
issue or not--I don't remember any on the few parts
that I've played for my nephews.
Yeah, I know! I was shocked to see that. I recently finished HP5 (twice), and NEVER had this issue, but it is a much smaller file size.
I'm thinking that I may try to convert to AAC before
I try the splitting program--in theory, it's easier
to start right back in again when you only have 1
track to find, than when you have dozens/hundreds of
smaller tracks. It's sometimes hard to remember
which track you left off with--even if it's
"bookmarked" within that track.
I dunno anything about AAC, to be honest. Never used it. My plan is to split the MP3 into smaller MP3s by chapter and load them on a playlist. Of course, I will have to label them all nice and pretty. It is a long book, but you could always just load a couple of chapter files at a time. The only thing that I can see that would be kind of a pain about splitting it with the Cool MP3 is searching thru the file for each chapter and setting break points.
My only concern is how much quality I'm losing by
converting from one compressed format--MP3--to
another compressed format AAC.
Yeah. Ew. No clue. Sounds unpleasant to me. Again, I really do not do anything with AAC.
I suppose, since it's
spoken word instead of music, the change shouldn't be
too noticable. I'm not sure what kind of time frame
it'll require to convert. I'll probably try it with
book 1 first--since it's the smallest.
May depend on the program. The one I got boasts no quality loss. You may wanna scrounge around the download sites and see which one sounds like it has the best features, even if you do just get a free trial version of something. I would definitely read the editor's ratings. I tend to trust that more than the typical end user's. They show how many stars the editor gives a product, and you can click that for the review, or sometimes they have labeled tabs where you can access the review.
As for how long it takes me to rip that particular file and if that actually fixes the scrubbing problem, I will have to let you know tomorrow. WAAAAY past my bedtime!
Keep me updated on your end. I sure which that there
was an explanation for why it happens.
Will do! I am thinking you hit the nail on the head with the length. That was exactly what popped into my mind when I figured out what the goofy thing was doing.
Talk to you later!

Strange issue when synching Iphone

Hi,
Had a strange issue and wondered if anyone could explain what could possibly have happened?
I purchased an album from iTunes on Saturday on my MacBook Pro. My iTunes library is actually stored on my time capsule, but everything was fine.
However today at work (so separated from my Time Capsule) I plugged in my iPhone to recharge. As standard it tried to synch - and this is when the issue occurred:
A message appeared stating that there were purchased items on my iPhone that were not in my iTunes library, that I must authorise the machine else the items would be removed. When clicking on the authorise button, the authorisation / iTunes store login screen appeared - containing the username [email protected] - which is completely unknown to me. I have absolutely no idea who this person is and I have never seen that email address before.
I changed the login to my details and signed in - where the system said that my machine was already authorised for my account - so the synch continued normally (apart from the usual messages when disconnected from my time capsule).
How the **** did my machine think it was attached to wesley patt's account? Has this happened to anybody else?
Cheers for any help
Darren

I just tried to sync my wife's iphone and the same name [email protected] came up. This can not be a coincidence. This has to be a virus of some sort. My wife is unable to make purchases from her computer right now even though the account detail works. Did this happen to either of you? I'm reporting this to apple and referencing this board.

Strange issue when switching between spaces

This morning my laptop (MBP) started doing strange things when I switch space. For starters, it takes a lot longer to actually make the transition. Then, when the desktop has moved, it takes a second or so for the primary application window on that desktop to be activated, and the menu bar does a strange swipe animation. I've noticed in Console that there are errors such as this each time I switch space:

Consider the possibility of third party software incompatibility.
Does this behavior persist for a different user, e.g., Guest User? Does this behavior persist when starting up in Safe Mode?

Strange symbol when typing

݄I have noticed when ݄I am typing a message either in iMessage or email, when ݄I type the letter I, a strange symbol that looks like a question mark in a box appears in my message. ݄I can sometimes bypass this by clicking the x when the autocorrect box pops up, but it is very annoying.

Strange Issue when Exporting Artboards as PNGs (Won't Include Layer)

As a part of my usual workflow in Illustrator CS6, I export a series of artboards as PNGs. The two layers I export are called "Content" and "Callouts." Neither is locked, and nothing is hidden. I've never had issues before, but today when I tried to export, Illustrator would only export the "Callouts" layer no matter what I tried. I made sure all layers were unlocked, I saved as a new document, combining the layers, I restarted my machine, I copy and pasted all the content onto a new layer—still nothing, that layer simply won't export though there appears to be nothing strange about it and it's worked in the past.
However, when saving as a PDF or saving for web, the "Content" layer does show up. Because I'm exporting a lot of PNGs, it's not convenient for me to save for web one by one, so this isn't a viable long-term fix. I'm at my wits' end here. Any insights?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: One thing to note, is that when I tried to merge these layers through the panel's dropdown, it said "cannot merge because the destination is locked or hidden." However, when clicking on options for that layer it doesn't show that it's locked OR hidden.

He meant to doubleclick on a layer and make sure a checkmark is in front of print.
Do a view >> overprint preview, if the graphics dispaear thatn menas you have for example somehting white set to overprint. That can be fixed with the attributes panel, by selcting the offending objecy and removing overprint.

ENS for Calendar Server strange issue when handling special characters

The problem is basically that the ENS message isn't fully flushed to the stream when the generated event (an appointment creation for example) has special characters such as "ñ", "á","é". Maybe are encoded in more than one byte but it flushes the buffer using characters * character_size and character_size is not always 1.
If I make a second appointment the buffer is flushed and I get the rest of the first notification and the new one.
Perhaps it is a configuration case and I should configure ENS to support more languages.
Could you help me?
Thank you,
Best regards.

Thank you Shane.
I've run the sample and it works fine.
Perhaps it's not a bug but it's very strange the behaviour ens has with events with special characters. This is what I do step by step:
1. I subscribe for all events and all the users
2. I create and appointment with special characters
3. I receive the event notification
GAP/1.0 1b 3 1915 enp:///ics/caleventcreate?calid=[email protected]&uid=000000000000000000000000000000000b2c934cc04e0000140000001f130000&rid=0|ntfy|00000000
The number 1915 should be the message length so I try to read 1915 bytes. However I can only read 1903 bytes. In this 1903 I have the full xml with the vcalendar.
4. I create a second appointment
5. The message I received is something like "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0" which is 1915-1903
6. I have to discard this message because it's invalid
7. I receive the event notification
I can fix my custom client and discard this "\0\0\0..." messages but It's a strange behaviour. Perhaps the protocol is as is but I thought it was a bug.
Thank you Shane.

On HTC Desire with the HTC android 2.2 (froyo) rom, when typing a number or a punctuation sign using a long key press, the cursor stay in place instead of advancing and positioning itself at the end of what you type.

Tested on login and password field (in sync settings). Other text input doesn't look like they have this problem. But I haven't run extensive tests.
Well when I was trying to register my self in sync I came across this issue. This can be solved by flipping the phone on landscape mode.

Thanks for the report! We were not aware of this problem before, but we will investigate it and work on fixing it.

Strange issue when printing PDF's

This problem started the other day. Whenever I scan to a pdf file or Save as from Illustrator the PDF looks fine (using the High Quality Setting) but prints out like a rastered high contrast jpeg image (with artifacting around all the edges of text and images). I thought this was a Distiller issue and checked all my settings. No Luck.
This morning I opened and tried to print a clients file and same thing happened. The problem occurs to both black & White laser printer as well as Epson R2400
I am using CS3 Updated to version 8.1.4 this morning on a windows vista machine.I would reinstall acrobat but when I had to do that a previous time, Vista and Acrobat would not play nice and I could never get Acrobat to install completely until I reformatted my whole drive and started from scratch. I do not have the time or want to try that again.
Could the preference file be bad? And where is that located?
Thanks,

This is not a scanning resolution factor and I have been scanning this way for years. These scans are not photos but documents. This problem just started. And as I said before, the problem also occurs when doing a save as from Illustrator, as well as supplied files from clients, so the scanning process has nothing to do with it. I just can't get them to print right.

Please help, Very strange issue when generate different template

Hello, Can someone help for below Strange Problem.
1. The PDF template files are defined in BI Publisher Layout as a.pdf, b.pdf
2. the parameters are defines in BI too
4. logic as below, generated PDF based on a.pdf. generated PDF based on b.pdf,
then merger a.pdf and b.pdf together.
5. Codes for generated PDF as below
this.reportDefinitionResp = bIPublisher.getReportDefinition(this.reportAbsolutePath, this.userID, this.password);
this.reportRequest = new ReportRequest();
this.reportRequest.parameterNameValues = this.reportDefinitionResp.reportParameterNameValues;
this.reportResponse = bIPublisher.runReport(this.reportRequest, this.userID, this.password);
6. the PDF generated by the a.pdf is correct, but generated by the b.pdf is not correct, instead it is same as a.pdf?
so after merger, we get the duplicate pages.
7. Not all templates has same issue, sometime we get this issue, how to fix it?

Strange issue when running sql with false condition

Why are you using "to_number(0)"? the zero is already seen by oracle as a number.
The to_number function expects to get a character string as the argument: to_number('0')
See the difference?
As you currently have it coded, you are forcing oracle to do an implicit conversion of the number zero to the character string '0' in order to pass it to to_number to convert it back to the number zero.
And what is the point of "where to_number(0) <> 0"
When would that EVER be true?
And it takes a long time because it is checking the second condition.
Even though the first one is False.

So the query you showed at the top is not the query we are really dealing with. What is the data type of QIV$? At least now we know that comparison to zero is not a fixed value.
1 - filter predicate: ( IS NOT NULL AND 0<>TO_NUMBER(TO_CHAR(:QIV$)))
This suggests QIV$ is already a number, else why would you pass it to to_char? And as I said above, if it is already a number, why pass it to to_number? Here you appear to be explicitly doing what I described oracle as implicitly doing in your first query above.
But in sqlplus the filter predicates is different.

Strange Issue When Logging Out

Hello,
I noticed the other night when I was shuttingdown, the little popup that asks if I want to reopen windows seemed to change and show blue "Shutdown" rather than the graphite color which I've chosen as a general color scheme. It seems ok now, but was wondering if anyone had ever notcied this with their MBP running Lion 10.7.3?
Thanks!

Very strange issue when displaying the Account PDF Factsheet.

We have a very odd situation.
We have one users (user1) who has the same business role as everyone else in the office. They can enter the UI (CRM 7), display an account and then click on the PDF Factsheet option. It seems to process and then simple says 'Done', but there's no PDF document displayed. At first I thought it was an Adobe issue, but, if someone in the office (user2) logs into SAP on user1's PC (in the same Windows session), they can perform the same process in the UI and the PDF is displayed, so it can't be a PC related issue, and must somehow be related to user1's SAP profile or role in some way.
Comparing User1 and User2's roles displays no differences, and their SU01 entries are also the same.
Can anyone come up any recommendations as to what it could be?.
I've more or less exhausted all my options.
Jason

I think we have discoverd what is causing the problem.
In CRM 7, when you view an Account (BP) the first assignment block to be show is the account details block. If you have this block collapsed (not expanded) or not on the screen at all then PDF fact sheet does not work. If I then expand the Account details block and review the PDF Fact Sheet, it then displays perfectly.
I guess there must be some dependancy of the PDF Fact sheet on the Account details block. I placed a breakpoint (normal and external) in the method of the class CL_UIU_PRN_ACCOUNT, but this code never gets called when the Account details block is collapsed. I'll have to find out what code is executed before this class/method is called.

Very strange issue when using initial context to lookup for beans...

hi, friends,
I am currently try to call a bean from a remote ejbclient.
I set the initialcontext like this with the url suppose to be:
Properties p = new Properties();
p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory");
p.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, url);
ctx = new InitialContext(p);
and look up home like this with the Name suppose to be:
Object h = null;
h = ctx.lookup(Name);
but the strange thing is, the programme just stops when it is doing ctx.lookup(Name); However I try to log it, but it is just stopping there, without throwing any exceptions and errors.
But, when I gave it a wrong name to like at, it could go through ctx.lookup(Name), and throw some exceptions like "unnable to look up beans.." which I put in the catch part...
I try to echo the "ctx", and it is not null. and I try to echo "h", but it just stop before the "h" getting anything...
the ejbclient is compile with jdk 1.4, because it is on a server with jdk 1.4, and deployed on weblogic 8.1. and the bean.java is compiled with jdk 1.5, and deployed on weblogic 10.
Does anyone knows what is really going on here, when doing the lookup, what happened?
How could I know whether there are the ejbs I need to call are existing in the pool?
Thanks..
Looking forward helps. such an problem has bothered me for a couple of days, and my boss is pushing me on this. but I haven't get any idea on it...:(

And now the stranger things here... I didn't do much change to both the remote bean side and the client side, what I did is most like change it to something, and tried with failure, and change back.
But today 's morning, when I just change everything back to suppose to be, and it can find the homebean:
