This always bugged me, is there a fix? Selecting Objects

I went a long time working on Flash projects and not Motion and I've been back in Motion 3 for a couple of weeks and there's something about it that bugs the heck out of me and I'm wondering if I'm missing something obvious:
I have a project with lots of layers and I have a new layer on top and when I click on the object in that layer, which is the top layer, Motion selects the background layer which is locked and at the very bottom. I click right on the image on the top layer and for some reason Motion thinks I want the locked object that is underneath the object on top that I actually clicked on.
Does anyone else experience this?
Thanks!

I always use the Layers tab to select layers, or expose - hit the X key to spread out all the layers in the Canvas, and select the one you want.

Indesign CS5 fails to package all links into the links folder, is this a bug? Is there a fix?

Indesign packaging leaves out some links, even though files are linked correctly prior to packaging. I am currently working on Indesign CS5, Mac 0S X, Version 10.5.8.

I had a problem with links on the master pages not being packaged. I found this and did the 7.0.3 Adobe update but no success.
I tried a few more web searches and found this
http://indesignsecrets.com/packaging-graphics-on-the-pasteboard.php
which is sort of the same problem.
The gist is to enlarge the slug area to the max (152.4mm or whatever that is in your preferred units). It seems that package ignores anything that has part of it on the pasteboard.
This is a pain when you only want to collect the active items but I expect someone at Adobe will sort this out in due course.
Hope this helps someone else

The new version of Firefox does not seem to allow multi-touchscreen pinch/zoom feature. Is this a bug or is there something I can do to fix the problem? Thanks.

Since the new version of Firefox (which I love, esp the reduced menu bars at the top, leaving more web page viewable space), I am unable to use the multi-touch pinch/zoom function to resize pages. the scrolling still works, and all worked fine before.
Is this a bug or is there something I can do to fix it?
Thanks for your time.

Not a fix but if it's just a web site here and there that you find yourself using the pinch zoom feature you can use the IE Tab 2 addon to automatically use the ie engine and the zoom works.
You lose the other firefox features on those pages but as I said, if it's just a few sites it's worth a look.
I sure hope the Mozilla community fixes this in their desktop PC version soon. You can't gripe if it's free so I just keep waiting. :)
Their android and iOS version supports it so why not the PC version?

It only works if I press right click -> Open in a new Tab on bookmarks under the menu that is located on the upper left corner. Is this a bug? Is there a solution?

No its working fine.

Go to your Google translate bookmark.
Type in a word then tap whatever language.
Make a select for the language to be translated to by tapping Dutch (or whatever language you see in the box all the way to the right. You should see a language menu.

on syncing photos to my iphone from my mac (snow leopard) (iphoto), just 2 or 3 per event retain the edited verisons, the rest are shown in the original version. I'm confused by this. Is this a bug? Is there a way to see all the photos on the mac-edited version on iphn?

Thanks for your reply
I solved my problem,
Definitely a bug in syncing through itunes.
- Connect Iphone with MacBook Pro through USB
- Go to iphone on itunes, photos, deselect photo synchronization.
- Sync (all pics will be removed from iphone)
- Close itunes, iphoto, disconnect iphone
- Select in finder: (home)-pictures-iphoto library.
- Sec click on iphoto library and choose "show package contents"
- Delete iPod Photo Cache
- Close finder
- Empty trash
- Reconnect iphone
- Allow photo synchronization again and everything works smooth.
After this, changes made in iphoto are instantaneously reflected in iphone photos.
Once every hundred photos, one gets detached from iphoto and then changes are no longer reflected (buggy) :-(
In this case I erase the photo in iphoto, sync, go back to iphoto trash, reestablish the photo from the trash and sync again.
Hope this improves. Still have to try cloud though.
Thanks

In 3.8 multiple tabs could be saved on closing, in 8.0.1 I can't do this, why not, and is there a fix?

in 3.8 multiple tabs could be saved on closing, in 8.0.1 it doesn't appear to be available. Is there a fix or workaround?

Go to '''TOOLS''' then '''OPTIONS ''' then '''GENERAL''' panel in '''START UP''' session scroll and choose '''Show my windows and tabs from last time''' then click OK to save it exit firefox and restart-it.

When I zoom in to work in Captivate, it always shifts the view to a reset position. This is so annoying, is there a fix?

When I'm zooming in to work on fine layout details in Cappy, it always resets the view and I have to scroll around again to get back to where I was. This is so frustrating and such a time sucker. Is there a solution or option to change this somewhere?

Rick, how does that help when you are zoomed in on an object and want to keep focus on that object because you are working on 'fine layout details' as the OP asked? I use CTRL-0 a lot to see again the total stage when focus is lost for the nth time, but then I have to focus again on that object. There is no nice view like in other Adobe applications that shows you which part of the stage is visible presently. In previous versions this was working perfectly, focus was never lost. It is broken in CP8.

How pervasive is this regex bug? Is there an official bug ID?

Oracle has a bug in their regular expression handling in 10g 2 and 11g 2. Is this bug also in XE? If so, does it have a bug number I can reference? I don't have support, I'm just evaluating Oracle Database offerings for our company.
The bug: With 10g 2 Oracle released support for non-greedy quantifiers in regular expressions. See http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e25518/adfns_regexp.htm#autoId6
However, it has bugs.
SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.5.0 - Production on Tue May 28 22:20:07 2013

REGEXP_SU
foo, bar,and same results on SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.1.0 Production. This is obviously a bug. One can argue about the differing possible interpretations of the sequence `.\*?`, but there is nothing that suggest `b.\*,` shouldn't pick up `qux`. I have a dozen other examples if you want. So my question is that since this has been a bug in released production code for over a year, is there a bug/defect number I can use to track it's eventual resolution? I don't have a support contract to ask support directly because I'm just evaluating right now. I'm trying to push for Oracle but bugs like this make it hard for me to use the argument that Oracle is relatively bug free.
Fixed * interpreted as markup

Oracle has a bug in their regular expression handling in 10g 2 and 11g 2. Is this bug also in XE?If a bug exists in Oracle Database 11.2.0.2, it's very likely to exist in 11.2 XE as well, as 11.2 XE is based on that version.
and same results on SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.1.0 ProductionThis is no matter of SQL*Plus, as this is only the client, while the query you execute is processed by the database you're connected to.
Despite that, I wonder how it comes you have SQL*Plus 11.2.0.1.0 on your machine, because XE ships with 11.2.0.2. But this has no impact on your issue...
but there is nothing that suggest `b.*,` shouldn't pick up `qux`. I'm not sure about that. It's a question of where your "preceding" definition ends and how you interprete the documentation. See the differences (or no difference) when using subgroups to separate greedy and nongreedy operators explicitly, e. g.
select regexp_substr('foo, bar, qux, ','.*?(b.*,)') from dual;
-- or even
select regexp_substr('foo, bar, qux, ','(.*?b)(.*,)') from dual; return foo, bar,, which would fit the "first string to match" strategy documented for regexp_substr.
On the other hand, you could enforce the behaviour you seem to expect with making the greedy subgroup explicit.
select regexp_substr('foo, bar, qux, ','.*?b(.*,)') from dual;
-- or
select regexp_substr('foo, bar, qux, ','(.*b)(.*?,)') from dual; will return your complete string.
Of course, you can always argue on whether you should "reuse" characters for different groups when evaluating the regex. From my personal experience, using explicit subgroups helps structuring (and understanding) your regex and makes moving through different implementations easier...
I'm trying to push for Oracle but bugs like this make it hard for me to use the argument that Oracle is relatively bug free.This is mostly a point of view, as your "relatively" indicates...

Is this a bug, or is there a workaround? Reconnecting/dates problem

Using PE7 with 11,627 pictures in the catalog. I've recently moved the location of all of my pictures to a new directory on my hard drive, but didn't utilize PE7's Move tool. Knowing that PE7's Reconnect tool would relink the images, I chose to do it this way.
So, in the Organizer, I double-click on a thumbnail, PE7 quickly reconnects it, BUT upon its reconnection, PE7 CHANGES the date that I have previously entered for this picture.
For example, I double-click on a picture for which I've assigned August 16, 1975 as the date. When it reconnects this picture, it resets the date to November 22, 2007.
WHY?
The File Properties for this picture now says that it was created on 11/27/2008, and modified on 11/22/2007. This doesn't make sense either.
Can someone please help?

You've encountered a new variant of a long-standing bug in several PSE versions (well, new to me, anyway). See this FAQ for details:
http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Date/times_of_files
I think your only workaround is to move your files back to their original locations and then move them using PSE's Display > Folder Location view or File > Move. If you continue to use Reconnect, you'll lose all the dates you've set with Edit > Adjust Date And Time.

I'm not sure if it is a bug or what. I got no respnse from flex team.
I attached swf file and source code so you can easily see what is going on.
I listed a workaround but this bug is getting more and more messy in my project so I'm here trying to ask for a real solution
Thanks in advance

Thanks for raising this. We will take a look.

I cannot add nor send file attachments larger than 100k on any of my email servers from this particular PC. Is there a fix for this?

I cannot attach a file larger than 100k to any email account (gmail, aol, secureserver.net) while using Firefox. However, I can send files larger than 100k from those same accounts on this computer when using IE. Switched to Firefox from IE and would prefer to continue using Firefox, however this issue presents a problem for my business needs. Please advise. Thank you.

Well seeing as I'm running Lion on 2 GB of RAM, I can't see how upgrading the RAM will make that much of a difference. If you are seeing launch times in minutes, it probably indicates your cache got corrupted by some third party cache cleaning software. To see if some corruption can be fixed, first backup your data:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1992
Then boot in safe mode, holding the shift key. If issues persist in safe mode, run the hardware test that came with your Mac.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303081
And if that is unrevealing, and booting into safe mode doesn't solve anything, and you are backed up, try repairing the directory by:
1. Booting into the restore partition with command-R.
2. Selecting the installer's Utilities menu.
3. Selecting Disk Utility
4. Selecting First Aid
5. Selecting the boot partition.
6. Click on repair disk (not repair permissions)
Do NOT proceed with any install itself. Just quit the install program
If the disk is not able to be repaired, purchase Alsoft Disk Warrior, and boot of that to repair the directory.
If it is able to be repaired, and the machine is still slow, I think you may have run into some RAM that is bad, and need to replace it, not add to it.
If Disk Warrior can't repair the hard disk, replace the hard disk itself.

Sticking notes problem - is this a bug? Is there a workaround?

Hi
does anyone have any advice for stopping "sticking midi notes" when played using a midi keyboard?
I think the instrument my friend has been having trouble with is specifically the evb6 and notes sticking - with the only way for him to remedy the situation is by starting and stopping the transport play.
He has tried two midi controllers: an old midi keyboard and a yamaha 1100. Both recreate the issue.
I have tried replicating it on my setup with an oxygen 8 - can't seem to make notes stick the way he describes.
He wants to use Logic live - so obviously this would be unacceptable. I'm gonna take a look through his Logic setup when i see him and wanted to know if anyone has any advice or tips on this one.
Cheers
Rounik
p.s i should mention he is on a macbook pro - logic pro 7.2.x (i'll find that out) and os 10.4.8 i think.
Message was edited by: rounik music

rounik,
don't have to read your post, as title says it all.
got the same prob here from day one.
given up on it.
also logic doesn't handle mono mode - same key/note repeated with overlaps.
my old roland midi sequencer did this properly over 15yrs ago.
best.

Am I the only one with this problem? And is there a fix for this? What causes it to happen? More details in the description. Thanks!

Hi, I have an iPhone 5s, sometimes when I'm using an app(game) I am unable to quit the app.
The funny thing is: the app is still working fine, doesn't hang and I can still interact with it, but I just can't quit it or access multitasking( be it using home button or assistive touch)
and
I'll have to force shut down the whole phone(lock and he button together), which I dislike doing.

Hi, thanks for the reply but it doesn't happen to only one specific app, it happened with Clash of Clans, FIFA 14, etc.

This always bugged me, is there a fix? Selecting Objects
