Warning: beware of text bug

cnn has reported that there is a bug on many android devices. google has acknowledged this and is working on a fix. some android users are sending texts and pixts that are NOT going to the intended recipient. i have not noticed if it is with particular devices, but it sound like an android OS issue...not a particular device. so watch what you text and who you text it to.

Good advice, in my readings of this bug, I have seen some rather embarrassing stories. Last I heard, Google has moved this higher up on their priority list.

Photoshop adds a stroke to my text -- bug?

Good afternoon!
I have several Photoshop CS3 files that are exhibiting a strange problem. This symptop ONLY happens when I create a new text layer in one of these files.
I create a new text layer and type some text. Then when I select part of the text and set it to a differnet color (so there are two separate colors being used in the same text layer), the text takes on a dark outline/stroke around it. No layer/blending options show that the text should be stroked. As soon as I change the text back to all one color, the stroke goes away.
I've attached a screenshot of the affected text.
What could be causing this? I've searched for a known PS CS3 bug but can't find one. If I create a new file, this symptom does not appear. But the affected file(s) behave exactly the same problematic way on any workstation they're opened on.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
--Rob

No, no Layer Style.
I've found that if I choose "Reset Character" in the character palette, the stroke goes away and the layer (and newly created layers) behaves normally after that. But changing the settings in the character palette manually have no effect on the stroke.. Are there settings that are changed by "reset character" that aren't visible on that palette?

Fp11 text bug | mask bug

1. FP11 and fp10.3.183.5 text bug:

I've worked out how to fix it, I posted 2 bug reports by accident:

Title
How to fix the vertical text bug.
Description
Problem Description:
Many of my textfields display vertically. In other words, 1 char per line.
Steps to Reproduce:
Possibly by using Flash CS3 to create textfields.
I think the bug began in the lastest FlashPlayer update.
Actual Result:
Text displays 1 char per line with many textfields
Expected Result:
It should display properly
Any Workarounds:
The cause for this is a hidden property in textfields called "left"
Please see the attached file DomDocument.xml.
If you look at the first 3 textboxes in the xml, they have very large x values and very large "left" values to counteract the x value.
If you remove the "left" property then it will work properly, as shown in the 4th textfield

I ordered a photobook, when I went to purchase it flashed up a warning about default text saying 'printed books will not include this text'. Really dissapointed, my photo book arrived with the default text printed. Will I have to return it?

I ordered a photobook, when I went to purchase it flashed up a warning about default text saying 'printed books will not include this text'.
Was really dissapointed when my photo book arrived with the default text printed. Will I have to return it? Or can I get some sort of discount? I don't live near a post office so I'd rather not have to return it.

Contact Apple support - they can answer that type of questions - we are just users here like yourself
BTW - it is best not to order when you have errors - to resolve that error place a single space in the subject text box
and always
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.

Lists doesn't work with synchronized text - bug or limitation?

Whenever I put a text to a collection to synchronize it, the list feature is no longer available for this text. Is it a bug or a limitation? It may be a tricky task to bring this two features together, but it is a substantial one.

Currently limited to the same formatting for the entire text frame and no internal structure (no lists or inline graphics). Request noted.

Warn when deleting text anchors

I use hyperlink destinations to create cross references. However it happens, that I accidentally delete the created text anchors. Is it somehow possible to show a warning or something like that, when a text anchor is being deleted? Scripts would also be an option, if it's possible that way.
Thank you very much,
Jan

Sure, just use a preflight profile that checks for unresolved
cross-references.
That way, whenever you accidentally delete a hyperlink destination, the
little preflight button will turn red.

GDB Startup Text - Bug?

Every time I run my project, I get something like the following output in the Debugger Console:
\[Session started at 2010-07-29 00:06:57 -0700.]
GNU gdb 6.3.50-20050815 (Apple version gdb-1469) (Wed May 5 04:36:56 UTC 2010)

GDB is free software, covered by the GNU General Public License, and you are

This GDB was configured as "x86_64-apple-darwin".tty /dev/ttys011
Loading program into debugger…
Program loaded.

\[Switching to process 17278]
Hello World.
Running…
Debugger stopped.
Program exited with status value:0.
I did a bunch of digging to see why this was the case, and it seems that this is not normal behavior. So I tried to check if for some reason Xcode was running GDB without the -q (quiet) flag. I wrote a short shell script and substituted it for the copy of gdb which Xcode uses (/Developer/usr/libexec/gdb/gdb-i386-apple-darwin) and found that Xcode is executing gdb with the following arguments: "--arch x86_64 --interp=mi1 -q"
So.. it should indeed be running in quiet mode, yet I get that long block of copyright text EVERY time I run my code. What am I missing?
EDIT: Interesting.. I just modified my script to strip the -q off, and then when executed I got all of the gdb copyright crap twice. Is this just built into Xcode?
EDIT2: So I guess this is just a part of life when you're using Xcode? It seems very unnecessary and obtrusive. Is there a way to disable that text?

Not that I know of. I suggest you file a bug report with Apple if it bugs you that much. Maybe check it in Xcode4 first.

Flash 8 display 'jumping text' Bug after Blur filter

I think I found a display bug/glitch with blur effect in
Flash 8.
(I'm using the MC TWEEN actionscript method.)
I need to apply a blur filter to a Movieclip with dynamic
text.
When scrolling this Movieclip the text 'jumps' about causing
visual glitch
and a slow down...
I have tweened the blur filter back to 0 and I have also set
Movieclip.filters=[];
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is there a fix?
Thanks,
David

If this problem is reproducible, than submit to a bug list at

Perhaps could be eliminated in future release.

FW CS3 Text bug?

After working in Fireworks all weekend for loads of site
navigational elements, I now have to change the font size for a
great many entries. For some unfathomable reason, Fireworks CS3 now
suddenly refuses to change font sizes in those documents.
Actually, it does change size in 1 out of 5 documents (they
are all copies of each other, in different languages).
But only as long as I don't open any of the other 4 documents
and try to change something there -- do that
before I open the one working document, and it stops working
as well. Do that
after making changes in that one document, and it stops
working too.
All of these documents use the
exact same font (same size, same colour)!
The "helpful" warning says «Could not complete your
request. The selection was incorrect for this operation.» and
only appears once, unless I quit and restart Fireworks.
Using the Editor by right-clicking into the text field,
everything works OK.
How can I get FW back to usable state... any ideas? Rebooting
does not help.
(MacBook Pro, 3GB RAM, OS X 10.4.9, Fireworks CS3)
TIA!

Are you sure the text hasn't been converted to paths?

Check the layers panel to be sure the mask group hasn't been
flattened.

Formatting text - bugs?

Hi
Whilst I'm here I thought I had better get this off my chest
too.
I've been editing some text recently, adding bold to certain
words, etc. Now when I go back into any text box the formatting
disappears from the text within it. On one occassion I underlined
some text in one box, went to another slide to edit some text and
when I opened it all the text suddenly appeared underlined. Any
ideas? This isnt a show stopper but it is wasting some time.
Help appreciated.

Welcome to our community, ntompkins
What you are seeing is a bug that was introduced with the
recent update of Captivate. Adobe is supposedly working on an
"update to fix the update". But we haven't heard anything from them
yet. Hopefully it will come soon, as this bug is driving me nuts
too!
Cheers... Rick

Warning: Loss of text when edited within iWeb

I am among the many who get the message "There was an error uploading to .mac" or the like.
Seems Apple doesn't even know all the reasons we get this error, but the advice has been "often it has loaded even though it says there was an error...check and see if it loaded after all."
Well, that's seemed to work for me, EXCEPT that after losing changes the third time, I realized it wasn't just me forgetting to Save. Seems it's imperative to edit text outside iWeb, and then paste it in. That way changes aren't lost due to the inexplicable errors while uploading, real or phantom.
Yes, any person reasonably sane would know to protect data by editing a stand-alone file, backing it up, etc. But hey, nothing wrong with a little minor tweaking that you could risk losing... which can end up substantive enough to still make you weep a little when it turns up lost, er, uh... doesn't turn up at all. *You can lose your changes, if you edit text in iWeb!*

Publishing errors have plagued every version of iWeb that I have owned. I found a work around for the earlier versions.... just ignor the pop up warning that iWeb has encountered a server error or whatever error message you get... just click 'ok' ..... then open Activity Monitor and wait till uploading finishes .... ie zero bytes sent in "Network" window. (make sure that you are not logged on in any other web apps like Skype that could be uploading or creating any activity)
Then close iWeb, find the domain.sites file in Library>Application Support>iWeb open the package and delete Prepublish.plist
That was a pain but it worked (most of the time)
Now in iWeb 08 the problems have become much more serious... and my work around does not work at all. In frustration I created a new user on my powerbook, I added a family pack to my .Mac account (my web sites are too large for a trial account to work) and I created a new .Mac id
I copied my domain.sites2 file to my public folder. I then logged into my new user account and moved the domain.sites2 file into the Library>Applications Support> iWeb folder and started iWeb.
Everything looked good the first time. I uploaded the site after making some edits to fix weird font size changes???? and formating problems that iWeb 08 had generated in the upgrade and publised all to .Mac. The site published ok the first time but I found a lot of links were missing for some reason. Then iWeb crashed. I was not worried and opened it again. What a mess! All my changes were gone..... worse than that... several generations of changes were gone! the iWeb site looked like one I had been working on about a day earlier and I had invested a lot of time in changes that WERE NOT SAVED... I save regularly because I know that iWeb will not save automatically when it publishes (why, why why?)
Digging deeper I found links that had changed randomly, and entire pages missing or blank. All the pages that I had duplicated and then moved into different sites had no content???? I tried this several times and always with the same result. It seems there is a problem with the code and iWeb cant save files with any consistency.... this is easily the worst bit of software that Apple have every authored in terms of debugging. The idea is fabulous and the old versions produced some great looking sites easily but the new iWeb 08 is a disaster.
Come on Apple, get your act together... it is not like you dont have the $ to deal with this kind of quality control issue. ..... oh and after mailing support via the Apple iWeb report form (yes they know there is a serious problem), NOTHING.... just an auto responder message.... get back to you in 48 hrs etc.... NOTHING.

Belle agenda: afterglow of text bug

C6-01 Belle (Dutch), weird problem: when I want to add an appointment in the calendar/agenda, I get an "afterglow" of the text I did put in. Because of this it's almost impossible to see what I did type.
For example the attached image: I did put in some text and then removed it completely with backspace. The input part should be completely clean and empty yet there is an "afterglow" of what I did type before? When I start to type again, it's impossible to see what's been typed.
Typing text with for SMS, adding contacts and so on is just fine. It's only with with adding appointments. So it's not a bad screen issue.
This really needs to be fixed asap IMHO

Bump.
It's a real issue cause I can not see what I type anymore. Anyone know something about it or how to report a bug about Belle? Not through Dutch Nokia Care cause I tried that twice now for other issues and only got what looked like totally useless auto responses with so called "solutions".

Weird auto bold text bug

I am having a bizarre issue with either indesign or reader. I'm working on a catalog, and I have it set up exactly the way I want in indesign. When I transfer it into a pdf it still looks correct, however when I print from the pdf it bolds part of the text that shouldn't be bold, in a font that doesn't have bold options. The weirder even, on some pages it bolds the bottom half of a line of text and not the top half.
This issue only started today, and it seems ok when I print direct from indesign.
I've also tested it on 3 different printers with the same results.
Any ideas what may be the issue?

You are right.... I was freaking out here thinking I may need to redo large portions. Thank you so much.
Any idea what causes this? Seems like either a design flaw or a bug, as a 100% transparent layer shouldn't change the look of things behind it. It's especially weird that it's making text more bald instead of obstructing it.

Wrap-Text bug when publishing - When will it be fixed?

The bug that causes the text to not wrap in short answer and survey quiz questions when published to Adobe Connect has been around for at least 2 years. This is extremely inconvenient. I need to add a published Presenter quiz to our Adobe Connect Training Curriculum that includes a non-graded survey question, but we cannot because the wrap-text feature doesn't work. Since it doesn't work, the learner can only type in an endless straight line, which is extremely frustrating to the learner because they cannot easily go back and review their answer or make edits before hitting submit. They can't even put in a paragraph return. The wrap-text will only work if I share the quiz within a Meeting Room, but then we cannot track the individual answers learners provide. I added the Meeting Room, with the quiz being shared, into the Curriculum content, and sometimes the content list will then show the quiz as a sub-item under the Meeting Room, but sometimes it doesn't, and if you make any change to the item being shared, it sometimes suddenly removes the quiz as a sub-item in the content list. Plus, learners will be confused when they see the content list as to whether click to enter the meeting room and take the quiz or to click directly on the link to the quiz that is listed as a sub-item. And whichever one they choose, when they return to the curriculum list, they will only have a green complete check on one of the items, not both, even though they both go to the same place. When will this bug be fixed? Or has it been overlooked?

Well, I can't see any problem with the feed, and the episode media file is correctly referenced and plays. Incidentally you do have a 'copyright' tag - it says 'Wippenberg'.
When a podcast feed is rejected, corrected and resubmitted there is a minor bug in the Store which causes you to be told that the podcast has already been submitted (which is true but irrelevant - it's really meant to prevent duplicates). To get round this you need to make a small change to the title - for example you could add a hyphen and space before 'Podcast'. You can always change it back once it's been accepted.
The other issue might be the content. The reason given for rejection tends to be technical issues, whatever the actual reason is. I haven't listened to your podcast, so I can't comment directly. Possible reasons for rejection are unacceptable content, sexual content or strong language when the 'explicit' tag is not said to 'yes', and copyright infringement: a lot of people fall over this one by including 'mixes' or indeed full plays of commercially issued recordings without having written permission from the copyright owners or alternatively a valid Podcast Licence (not available in all countries, possibly only the USA). I have no idea whether this might be an issue with yours.

Warning: NetGear ReadyNAS major bug when using AppleShare File Protocol

I own a large number of NetGear (formerly Infrant) NAS devices. After NetGear bought the company, they came out with a new version of the embedded OS of those devices that looks like it is mostly just a cosmetic update that changes the name Infrant to NetGear.
Unfortunately, it also introduces a very serious and reproducible bug. When you mount one of the NAS boxes running the new version of the OS under AppleShare, a file copied to the NAS box always gets today's date as its creation date. Strangely, if you copy a folder, the folder date is set correctly to the original creation date of the source folder, but the files contained inside of it lose their original creation dates.
This bug occurs ONLY under the new version of the OS (4.00), not under the previous version (3.01). It occurs both under OS X 10.4 and 10.5.
I have spent considerable time on hold and on the phone with NetGear technical support, and they claim this is a problem with the AFS file protocol. I don't know how they can make this claim when quite evidently everything works just fine under the previous version of their own software, but the gentleman on the phone basically told me something to the effect of "nobody uses AFS anyway, so why should we care".
If you are considering a NAS box, you may want to hold off on purchasing a NetGear device for the time being. And using Samba file sharing is not really an option either, because that severely limits your file naming possibilities.
If Apple is reading this, I hope someone can contact people "higher up" within NetGear to fix the problem.
Michael

appreciate if someone can assist with my errors as mentioned in my first post.'
Thanks.
