Three persistent interface bugs/annoyances

There are three things I have to repeatedly change every time I open an EPUB in DE 1.8 -- if these are bugs I'm hoping they're fixed soon; if these are "as designed" please add a way for users to change the default behavior and make the change STICK. Thank you. :-)
1. After opening an EPUB, I always change the font size from Medium to Large, solely because the default Medium shows eBooks in 3-page spreads (!); and the only way to switch to 2-page spreads is to increase the font size to Large. I'm fine with the Medium font size, but not with the 3-page spread. (why are you allowing that, anyway ... it's weird). I'm using a standard 15" widescreen laptop, fwiw.
It's VERY annoying to have to change this setting for every single EPUB I open! Tedious.
I think that font size should not dictate how many pages you see anyway. There should be 2 icons up there, one to force single pages and the other to force 2-page spreads, regardless of the font size.
2. After opening the Nav panel (which I think should *be* open by default from the onset, but that's just a personal preference), I always have to resize it to shrink it down to a normal size. It takes up way too much horizontal width. It's hard to get the icon that lets me drag it, too.
3. After clicking a TOC entry in the Nav panel, it bugs me that Nav TOC panel automatically closes. I have to open it again, go to the Gear (settings) icon, and UNcheck "Hide Panel After Use." That should not be the default setting, imo. You're using the TOC to see where you want to start reading, and often, the first choice is not correct! So it should *stay* open until you press the button to close it or change the preference (turn ON "Hide Panel After Use.").

Hi AnneMarie,
For item 1, the latest version of Digital Editions can now save the font size settings for each of the books, you may have a try. It also has a shortcut key to change font quickly: <Ctrl> (Cmd on Mac) + <+> / <->. This can quickly enlarge / reduce the font size by keyboard. Hope this help.
For item 2, DE is now can remember the side panel width. You may try the latest version with this feature.
For item 3, DE is now can remember the option "Hide Panel after Use". Once you unchecked this option, it will keep opened after clicking. You may try the latest version with this feature.
Thanks and regards,
Derek

Excel 2013 BeforeRightClick Event fails on Windows 8.1 Tablet (it's an Excel 2013 tablet touch screen interface bug)

I have developed customized table context menus in an Excel 2013 workbook on my Laptop. They work just fine on my laptop and my work desktop. But when I try to run them on my tablet PC the Worksheet_BeforeRightClick event in Excel 2013 never fires. Other
worksheet events appear to work okay. I have fully reinstalled Office 2013 Pro and that does not make any difference.
I have read other comments regarding this same problem going back to 2013, but have never seen Microsoft respond to this issue. Nor have I been able to find a resolution. Has anyone else run into this and found a solution?
Additional Discoveries: Testing on my tablet shows that adding one custom CommandBarButton to either the top or the bottom of the default "List Range Popup" context menu causes the Worksheet_BeforeRightClick event to fail. The basic context
menu commands still show up, but the default dropdown button for additional context menu commands disappears. The event is perhaps firing, but any customized code for the context menu is not being handled properly by Excel. This does appear to be a bug and
not a question of coding error. Perhaps someone else with a tablet PC running WIndows 8.1 could test this.
Based on comments
here this bug was introduced in Excel 2013 because others find the problem does not exist when using Excel 2010 on a tablet PC. Note that all the commenters on the linked thread that are experiencing this problem are using tablet PCs.
Update 3-13-15: I stand corrected. The Worksheet_BeforeRightClick does work on Excel 2013 Windows 8.1 tablets. I happen to own an Asus VivoTab Note 8, which comes with a Wacom stylus. If I use the Wacom sylus to right click on an Excel 2013 worksheet cell,
the Worksheet_BeforeRightClick event fires and modified context menu code runs just fine. But the code will not run if one uses their finger to right click a worksheet cell. This explains why this problem only shows up on tablet PCs. So the "bug"
introduced in Excel 2013 is a general user touch screen interface bug and not an Excel events programming bug.
Update 3-21-15: Switched to a Toshiba Protege laptop with touch screen. Same issue with finger touch screen interface on the Toshiba touch screen as with the Asus VivoTab touch screen.
Laptop: Toshiba Protege (with touch screen), Windows 8.1 64bit and MSOffice 2013 Pro 32bit
Tablet: Asus VivoTab Note 8, Windows 8.1 32bit and MSOffice 2013 Pro 32 bit
Desktop: Generic, Windows 7 64bit and MSOffice 2013 Pro 64bit

Hello Phil,
Command bars were deprecated and shouldn't be used any longer. Instead, you need to use the Fluent UI (aka Ribbon UI) instead. You can read more about the new UI in the following series of articles in MSDN:
Customizing Context Menus in Office 2010
Customizing the 2007 Office Fluent Ribbon for Developers (Part 1 of 3)
Customizing the 2007 Office Fluent Ribbon for Developers (Part 2 of 3)
Customizing the 2007 Office Fluent Ribbon for Developers (Part 3 of 3)
As a workaround you can add a custom control to the context
menu with the getEnabled or getVisible callback which will be invoked before the context menu is shown.

How do you load in text styles with add-in persistent interfaces?

Hello,
I've added in a persistent interface to the kStyleBoss which gives paragraph styles and character styles some added meta data. They are not text attributes, but rather attributes or options for the style itself, kind of like the name of the style is.
Unfortunately, when styles that have these option settings are loaded from one InDesign document to another, the settings do not come through. I guess kLoadStyleCmdBoss is not aware of the persistant interface I've added to the kStyleBosses and so does not copy them across. Does anyone have any idea how to modify kLoadStyleCmdBoss so it will replicate the data in the persistant interface I've added in? Do I need to modify kCreateParaStyleCmdBoss or kCreateCharStyleCmdBoss in anyway as well?
Best regards,
John Hopkins

Hi,
Well, previous link (Adobe TV) is deprecated.
Here is an updated and upgraded tuto: Chris Gannon blog.
Therefore, assuming you are using Edge 5.0 (EA CC 2014.1.1), you have 2 solutions:
1) The XMLHttpRequest API.
2) $.AJAX() if and only if you load a jQuery file: library panel > scripts.

User Interface bug when renaming tracks in list views

When renaming tracks in the list views, there is a user interface bug that makes it impossible to see what you're doing. When you select a track in the list view, this is what it looks like:
Note how the text is white on the darker blue background. When you click again, to open the inline text editor to rename, this is what you get:
The background color of the text editor is white, just like the text, so when you type, you can't see what you're typing, nor can you see where in the original text your text insertion cursor is located.
Thanks!
Steve.

I'm frustrated with this same problem. In my case this happens only in my 10.5 macbook air and not in my 10.4 macbook pro. I've been renaming files in the same way in 10.2/10.3 and this never happened. Should be a bug. I've been searching for this issue and found this post at last - I really wonder why there aren't so many people mentioning this.

Config Files Backup to Avoid Interface Bug

I have recently upgraded to Adobe Creative Suite Master
Collection. Although I am impressed with the collection for the
most part, I can't believe that Adobe has not addressed a glaring
bug in the user interface that will contsantly corrupt the sites
list and configuration files.
The bug stems from having a large website portfolio. As a web
designer, as well as a webmaster, I have just finished configuring
most of the sites and directories I need immediate access to.
Dreamweaver CS3 could not import the previous site list and
configuration because of the interface bug which is constantly
corrupting that file. What happens, is that I select the website to
work on (say, dnsite.com) from the drop down list, and am satisied
that I am there. Unfortunately, my attention is diverted or I
simply forget to click somewhere else in the window. If I would
click somewhere else in the window, things would be fine. But that
fact that I need to is a true interface bug, because when I don't
click somewhere else (for whatever reason), I look at my list of
files and immediately start to scroll down through the file list to
get to the file I want to work on, BY USING THE MOUSE WHEEL, like I
always do. However, because I have not clicked outside of that
original site list drop down box, that site list selector scrolls.
The result is that Dw loads and scans each site over and over until
it comes to the end of the list, OR CORRUPTS THE SITE LIST AND
CONFIG FILE. This happens all the time with me, and it is extremely
infuriating. In order to combat this interface design bug, and Dw's
inability to protect its own configuration files by handling them
correctly, or even producing a backup file that it can revert to in
the event that it has corrupted that last site list and config
file, this interface bug has forced me to manually backup the site
list and config file. But apparently, this file has moved since
Dreamweaver 2004 MX?
By the way, it would be simple to fix this bug with a simple
pop-up dialogue window that would disappear once the correct site
was selected (duh... I thought that Adobe's noted interface design
excellence would have fixed this strange idiotic flaw immediately,
but I see they haven't addresses anything us web designers want or
need). I know Macromedia was working on the interface, but they
never did get it right and I was expecting BIG improvements from
Adobe RIGHT AWAY (because they are so good at it and Macromedia was
so poor at UI design).
Because of this this bug, and because I just configured over
60 websites that I need to maintain immediate access to, I need to
backup my website list and configuration file, but I see that it
has changed or moved. It used to be in the application data folder
in the folder up one directory from the My Documents for my
username on the computer, but I can't find it anymore. I checked
All Users as well. Where has this file gone, and what is it named,
now?
By the way, as a default, you would be saving me and other
web designers a great deal of time (re)configuring my list of sites
if you would have included .psd .ai and .eps as file extensions to
cloak. Macromedia didn't do this because they didn't want to
promote you, but you own this software now, update it.
So little thought has gone into this update that I am truly
dissapointed. Dw used to improve with each update. You can't tell
me anyone is happy with it and keep a straight face.

Not what you'll want to hear probably- but the site list
scrolls again
because the site list drop down is what has focus. It has
focus until you
click something else. That's the GUI behavior i would expect
instead of a
warning dialog box getting in the way.
click in the files panel if you want to scroll the list of
files for the
chosen site.

Persistent Aggregates bug with logic - anyone else see this ?

A long while ago I posted a bug report regarding the use of aggregates with the Stealthplug guitar audio interface. I also reported this on the apple bug report system.
Basically, when using Logic8 with stealthplug and OSX Tiger ( latest 10.4 ) I configured an aggregate using AudioMIDI setup program, configuring Stealthplug as the input and the built in audio as the output.
When one creates an audio track with the aggregate name selected I Logic8
preferences INITIALLY one can get audio input to show up, the "record" button appears and one can hear audio output to the main macbook audio outputs. However on repeated use and selection/deseletion of the particular named aggregate one finds that the stealthplug input is no longer enabled ( the record button disappears).
I found out recently that if I delete the aggregate ( I only had one aggregate st up ) and create a NEW aggregate, this time with a different name, but with the same settings ( stealthplug as input, built in outputs as output ) then one can get the aggregate to work initially in logic8. However after a few sessions, or switching between audo devices in preferences, the aggregate again fails to work, by this i mean I no longer get the "R" button appearing in the channel strip for the input.
Stealthplug works fine when selected itself if one selects this as the device, but NOT when used through an aggregate. I suspect this is something to to do with aggregates and not stealthplug.
My suspicions is that it has something to do with the way logic8 or the CoreAudio system stores its aggregate preference information since I find that if I delete the original aggregate but recreate the same aggregate settings using a different name then the aggregate will work for a short time.
This really needs fixing since aggregates are potentially so useful.
Anyone else seen this with stealthplug or another audi interface ? is the Aggregates system just plain buggy? dos this problem go away in Leopard ?

Well I can say that after installing updates to QuickTime is appears I have been having a lot of trouble with Aggregate Devices as well. I use 2 896HD MOTU interfaces and after a few sessions of Logic, the Aggregate device stops working. I can either (a) reset the computer, (b) sometimes reset the coreAudio driver (works rarely) or (c) create a new Aggregate device like you have and it all starts working again.
Even worse, some of my USB MIDI interfaces like the Fantom X7 just loose connection as well. If I remove the USB and then plug back in, it's recognized again immediately.
Something is seriously broken and I have NO clue where to begin to help fix it. The only thing I could do is re-install OSX 10.5 and not do the quicktime updates and see if that helps. Unfortunately, that is a LOT of work! (I use like 146 AU plugins total).

Inner interface bug ???

Have I just discovered a bug in java ?
The following actually give error stating:
qualified new of static class
By right, it should be compile and working but it is not ...
can someone give comment ?? thank
public class InnerInterfaceTest
     interface InnerInterface
          public void task();
     public static void main(String[] args)
          InnerInterfaceTest t = new InnerInterfaceTest();
          InnerInterfaceTest.InnerInterface inter = t.new InnerInterface()
               public void task()
                    System.out.println("This not working !!!");
}

well, it may have something to do with the line
InnerInterfaceTest.InnerInterface inter = t.new InnerInterface()what's with the t.new InnerInterface()? is that a typo? btw, please use the tags!

Strange Behavior In Defining A Template Interface -- Bug/RFE

Hello.
This is a bit of a bug. I wanted to define a "template" interface. If you follow this sequence of steps, you may see this odd behavior:
In a class diagram, insert a new Interface.
Add a template parameter to that interface. Now, the display of the object has not changed.
Right-click the interface, and under "Show", select "As Icon".
Right-click again and under "Show" select "As Non-Iconic Class".
Now the interface is displayed as a "Template Class" on the diagram, with its parameters visible. This comes about since the Modeling Palette only contains a tool to draw a "Template Class", which creates a class only and not an interface.
Is this behavior somehow intentional or expected?
Is there any bug reporting tool for such reports? Or is posting on this forum sufficient to constitute feedback on a bug?
Thanks in advance.
- Steven Coco.

Hi.
I am not aware of another notation: the display given by JSE (after making it display the parameters) is all I would expect -- the UML superstructure just says that a templatable element has the dashed-outline box listing its parameters. Now, the display of the parameters can be suppressed, but I would have expected in that case a more direct "Hide or Show Template Parameters" option for the element. And in fact, I'd say that a display option like this is really what this boils down to: there's no option to hint JSE to display the parameters; and you'd have to go a round-about fashon to make them appear.
And my display does still show <<interface>> after geting the parameters to appear.
Thanks!

A few more FCP X Bugs/Annoyances

Hello all,
I cannot thank the help and expertise from some of the members in the FCP X support community. Luis Sequeira and Tom Wolsky you guys are part of the reason why I am persevering with FCP X and am finding it to be the future of editing despite the many flaws it has. I was glad to find out I wasn't just one of a few who found some of the bugs and inconsistencies to be slightly more than an annoyance. Here are a few more that i've noticed and am wondering if anyone has found out why these issues exist and would care to add upon:
This one is for Macbook FCP X users. I don't have this problem on my tower or my 27" iMac so I am led to believe this is a deliberate (althrough strange and unwise) GUI design change from Apple. When I open up my color board on my 13" Macpro, I see my color board, exposure and saturation control just like I do on my desktops. I do not however, see the percentage change view/controls underneath. I cannot scroll down further, all I have to play with is the respective color, saturation and exposure "board" leaving me to use my eyes as my only trusted gauge for correction/change. Here's an image of what I see...
Notice no percentage gauge?
Here's another issue I have not been able to find a workaround for despite trying usual and predictable avenues in my attempts. It's not a huge deal, but being a keyboard shortcut junky, I find it annoying that I cannot press Command + E to export with my default settings on my macbook. The shortcut is not visible in the menu or when I hover my curser over the icon. Naturally, I went into my command editor to see whether i'd have to edit or completely create this shortcut on my own. The shortcut is definately still the same in the comman editor, but still no avail. I've input the keys to manually create this shortcut, still the same.
Here is what I see:
No matter what I do, when I press Command + E (I make sure i'm in the timeline) the shortcut doesn't work and I hear the sound that occurs when an incorrect or unvailable command/action occurs. Not a huge deal but still need to know if this is a legit bug or if it was intentional for laptop owners for some strange unidentifiable reason. I'm wondering if any other Macbook users are encountering the same problem.
I am about to mention these issues as well as a few others in hopes they can address them in future updates but wanted other peoples take on them. These aren't bugs as much as things I think would make more sense if corrected or improved upon:
Pressing CMD + 6 to open AND CLOSE the color board to make color adjustments. Once i am done making my necessary color/exposure adjustments, why can't i close this window with the same shortcut i used to open it? I can open the color board with CMD+ 6 but cannot close it with the same keyboard shortcut command. Same with CMD + 8 for audio enhancements, I can open the audio enhancements window with this shortcut but cannot close it with this shortcut. I have to close the entire inspector with the keyboard shortcut cmd 4 to close the window. Seems very counter intuitive and for short term projects isn't that big of an issue (like I mentioned i'm a keyboard shortcut fanatic), but becomes very annoying for paid, commercial work (which i've become accustomed to using CS6 for). When i work on my laptop I keep the inspector open when I need to maximize viewer space and would like to be able to have the color board close as conveniently as it opens without having to press cmd 4 to close inspector. Not that big of a deal but would like to see this fixed, wanted other people's thoughts?
Thanks again for your help, the transition to FCP X for things other than Facebook and short Instagram vids is coming about slowly but surely...
Anthony

Pull down the separator bar at the bottom of the color board to create more space for the percentages.
The color board and audio enhancements are parts of the inspector. You close the inspector with Cmd-4.
Cmd-E is the default export setting. It's assignable to any preset or custom export setting. Open Destination preferences, right-click on the setting you want and select make default.

How to persist interface in JPA?

Hello guys,
I am having a class which has a Interface reference as a attribute.
If i want to persist my class how i can do that???
class MyNode {
//Ref of interface
private MyInterface inter;
If it is not possible then what it's workaround?? Because interface usage is essential. RIGHT???
Regards,
Nachiket

You'll need to define the classes implementing the interface as JPA entities, and provide a @OneToOne mapping.
Of course you'll need to design the mapping in such a way that you can get disparate objects to map correctly.
Most likely that means you'll have to map from the contained entity to the containing entity.

Really annoying Persistent Cache bug

HI,
We are using the Persistent cache datastore to work around the fact that you cannot place 2 extractors in a dataflow.
We create template tables in the persistent cache db, but they automatically change to permanent tables. This means a lot of dropping and re-adding tables to the cache.
This is surely a bug ? If Persistent caches don't support template tables why can I create one ?

Here's a preview of what it happens. Instead of the graphics snapping to a pixel grid when copied over to the other ai file (both have different-sized artboards), the anchor points snap to .5 pixels to the left or right of the pixel grid, which of course makes it look blurry because of the antialiasing.
Graphic from UI.AI that's aligned to pixel grid: click here to see higher res image
Graphic copied to HOME.AI that's not aligned to pixel grid: click here to see higher res image
I tried creating a new document (different size artboard than ui.ai and home.ai with Align to Pixel OFF) and pasted this graphic into that document. Result: it looked CRISP! That means it aligned to the pixel grid! That is really odd. I tried to copy it into a new document with Align to Pixel ON and it also aligned to pixel grid correctly. Seems very unpredictable.

Eyedropper bug / annoyance Illustrator CC

Hi everyone,
I believe this is something which seems to have happened in the last couple of weeks.
I've recorded a video of my issue to try and show you guys what my problem is.
Basically, I have my shield on the left which is a shape with a fill and stroke. I'd like to select the wifi signal's style, by selecting the eyedropper. The wifi signal is a group made up of three shapes.
For whatever reason, my styling completely gets removed, as you can see here:
http://monosnap.com/file/hQayYPlpaj4c7zh6mBEIfCknlZ13xn#
In my eyedropper settings, I have all the boxes checked.
This is frustrating me like you wouldn't believe. Any ideas?

Thank you Larry. I just submitted this bug report pasted below at the link you provided.

ITunes interface bug

Hi,
not sure if I got the right category, but here goes. I have this weird bug in iTunes, where all interface controls have a slightly darker background colour than the rest of the interface. It's incredibly annoying, and shows up in every dialogue in iTunes. I have no idea how to fix this, or what is causing it.
iTunes 7.6.2 on 10.5.2
Here is a screenshot of it: http://vivadyne.net/misc/itunes_bug.png
Thanks in advance

There's a software update for Leopard. Update your mac and see what happens.

AIO persistent connection bug

I am using the solaris kernel implementation of aio (aioread,aiowait). I am having a problem with aiowait once I have four persistent connections to my app. My client app sends data to my server. The server never notifies me that io is ready. If I close one of me connections then the data comes in. I think I may be hitting a hard limit. Anyboby seen something like this?

I am assuming that you are using Solaris aio not POSIX aio.
I think kernel aio is not possible for streams and files. Your aioread/aiowrite may not be going to kernel aio when fd is a socket. Why don't you send the truss output of the program? aioread/aiowrites from/to files will go through pread/pwrite interface but will be done in the context of a separate worker libaio lwp. This would be the case in your aioread/aiowrite (sock). Did you install a SIGIO handler? This is required to get IO done notification.
Follow the notes in man page of aiowait()
NOTES
aiowait() is the only way to dequeue an asynchronous notifi-
cation. It may be used either inside a SIGIO signal handler
or in the main program. One SIGIO signal may represent
several queued events.

Email interface bug

Hi everyone,
Ive got an iphone 3gs running the latest iphone software 3.x.x. and I had a first generation Iphone.
When I first got my 3GS in September I noticed an email bug. if you are reading an email horizontally, and flip the phone to vertical and hit the back button to go to your main email area the navigation bars disappear. It seems to only happen if you have an unread email, or if one comes in while your reading and thats why you hit the back button... You can not navigate out of the email that you were reading. You have to restart the phone to reset the email app. it happens consistently, and I expected someone to report it, but the iphone OS has been updated a few times now, and it still has the bug.
Is there any way to report this to apple? I can not recreate this bug on 2.5g, or 3g phones, only the 3gs.
Anyone else have this happen?
Thanks

You can only report "bugs" directly if you're a registered developer. If you're not a developer you have this:
