Weird resizing bug with Fluxbox + Xcompmgr.

I'm using fluxbox and xcompmgr today, trying it out again after a while with openbox. Every time I resize a window, it seems like xcompmgr is failing to resize the dropshadow it leaves behind it, or other times it will just show the contents of the window in the space they used to occupy.
Screens:

Any ideas would be great, I used fluxbox for quite a while and had no problems like this!

I have same bug ....but doesn't have a solution for....anyone else?

Resizing Bug for Titles

Hello,
I'm using FCPX 10.1 and experiencing a weird bug for the title/text.
Whenever I'm trying to resize a text whether through Text menu or Video menu Transform - Scale after a certain size it cuts of the some part of the text.
Does anybody know how to resolve this issue or should I simply stop trying to use Titles on FCPX and continue using AE for titles.
Please check out the images below.
Bugged imaged at 450pxText size
No bug at 300px Text size

I've known about it for awhile (http://sightcreations.tumblr.com/post/75735456272/more-fcpx-bugs-with-text-of-al l-things)
What I'd be interested in knowing are what are the specs on your mac? Year, model and GPU vRAM size. My mac is a late 09 iMac i7 with ATI Radeon 4850 with 512MB of onboard RAM. My guess is that Apple is phasing out support for these older Macs and/or the onboard vram size of 512MB is no longer adequate.
I also suggest going to Final Cut Pro (menu) > Provide Final Cut Pro Feedback and raising holy **** about it. Having text fail like this in such a low resolution venue as video is absolutely unforgivable. (BTW - these problems do NOT happen in Motion.)

Having the same text resize bugs in Fireworks CS5

Yes, that's right, the same terrible resizing bugs, that I have complained about directly to Adobe MULTIPLE times have not been fixed.
Now we are told there is no patch coming to windows for CS4. Problem still happening. And its not just me.
So now I downloaded CS5 and HAD THE SAME ISSUES!
Seriously Adobe, sort yourselves out.
At my blog here, you can see it well documented. Literally the same issue I have occasionally with CS4. UNBELIEVABLY.
http://allaboutchris.co.uk/blog/2010/bugs-in-fireworks-cs5/
Adobe, when is it getting fixed?

I don't have any problem resizing the text with the Scale tool as long as I hold down the Control or shift key while pulling at a corner with the double arrow cursor. If you pull vertically or horizontally you get just the kind of distortion I'd expect. That's not a bug.

Stacks weird visual bug

Hi,
I'm running Leopard 10.5.3 on a 1Ghz iMac G4 which came with a GeForce4 MX graphics card. I've been using stacks from the beginning (and loving it) but every time I use it, a weird visual bug is triggered; basically white semi-transparent rectangles appear along the edges. You can find a screenshot of this at http://picasaweb.google.com/luis.beca/StacksBug/photo#5206710255993309346. Any clues as to why this is happening or how to solve it?
I should point out that I have been stuck with this problem from the very beginning, not just the latest Leopard version 10.5.3. I have an Intel MacBook Pro where this is not an issue.
Many thanks in advance
Luís
PS - How can I submit this to Apple?

I think you can thank Apple for this. See this discussion.

[SOLVED][Fluxbox]xcompmgr does't render all perfectly

Hi at all... I have reinstall my arch two days ago with fluxbox. I installed also xcompmgr and put into my .xinitrc this:
#!/bin/sh
# ~/.xinitrc
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
# exec gnome-session
# exec startkde
# exec startxfce4
# ...or the Window Manager of your choice
xset s off -dpms &
xcompmgr -c -r10 -F -f -D5 -C -o0.8 &
conky &
exec fluxbox
but when I do startx, at first seem to be all normal but without the composite manager, then when it start the shadows appear around the windows as should be, but the toolbar is not completely drawn and only when I move a window over it then the toolbar refresh and all is almost perfetc except for conky that has his shadow when I don't want it.
Someone can help me?
PS. Sorry for my bad english
EDIT: I have tryed something: I removed the line of xcompmgr in the .xinitrc and start it from a shell after the startx and all work perfectly, even the shadow around conky... only that I don't want start xcompmgr by hand every time...

try sleeping before launching command at fluxbox's startup :
sleep 5 && xcompmgr -c -r10 -F -f -D5 -C -o0.8 &
sleep 2 && conky &

["solved"] [fluxbox] xcompmgr applies shadow effect to wbar

I'm using fluxbox, xcompmgr and wbar.
When I run wbar and xcompmanager together the shadow is also applied in wbar which is undesireable.
I've tried various combinations to initialize xcompmgr and wbar and nothing works including changind load order.
Is there a way to fix this?
This is what I have in .flubox/startup
fbsetbg -l
xfce-mcs-manager
wbar -pos top -nofont -bpress &
xcompmgr -cC &
exec /usr/bin/fluxbox
Thank you!

Here's how I fixed it.
I launch wbar with and xcompmgr with the following options
wbar -pos top -above-desk -bpress &
xcompmgr -cC &
After the restart, I need to right click a few times on wbar (the right click is used to refresh wbar) and the shadow problem disappears. It's not perfect but it works for now

Bug with block diagram labels in 2013

I just reported a minor but interesting bug with the block diagram free labels in LabVIEW 2013. If you attach a free label to a structure of any kind using the gluph in the bottom right corner of the comment then resize the structure in the direction of the comment it causes the entire block diagram to resize in that direction.

I would disagree that the behavior is expected. If the comment is not immediately next to the structure, but is a distance away, the block diagram does not resize if the comment is not attached to the structure but it does resize when the comment is attached. I would expect the attachment arrow to simply get shorter unless the structure is resized so large that the comment has to move so as not to interfere.
Expected behavior? Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.
I am afraid the problem here does lie with your expectations. When you resize a structure and the new space is occupied by anything other than wires then LV will use "Make Space" to create room. Make space obeys neither the laws of man or nature, it simply gets the job done with all the subtlety of a steamroller. I believe if there is something preventing Make Space from doing its job then NI engineers are automatically dispatched to your office with sledgehammers to fix the problem.
I do, however, share your wish for a world where you do not expect LV to wreak untold havoc on your BD when attempting to make space or "clean up". Here they should probably treat the connecting arrow more like a wire and less like a rigid object. I'd say bug myself.

Bug with flash player 9,0,115

Hi,
I just changed my player Flash, and I updated it to the
9,0,115.
And now I cannot watch a video on youTube, or on others video
player (on firefox).
After 3 seconds the média stop.
Do you have an idéa why I have this trouble, and do you
have a solution to fix that.
Thanks.
Matt

Yes, I tryed, and I still have this problem.
I also desinstall flash player and reinstall the 9.0.45 flash
player and I have no bug.
But it's really weird to have a bug with the 115 and not with
the 45, especially for a famous web site like youTube

Weird subtitle bugs

I'm running into several weird subtitle bugs in Encore 2.0. My project is a 33 minute training video with 4 subtitle tracks - English, Chinese, Spanish and Russian. I know the project was initially created in 1.5, but I don't remember if the subtitles were imported before or after the conversion.
The first is that some of the subtitles that have been edited are showing the original version of the subtitle. In most cases, if I go back to the edited version in the timeline and add a space at the end, it seems to update to the new version of the subtitle.
The other issue is that in many cases, the subtitles are staying on the screen longer than they should be. In one instance, the subtitle stayed on the screen for about 15 seconds more than it should.
Any comments or suggestions?
This will be the last project for me in Encore - I just can't afford to spend multiple days working around Encore and its "features"
Thanks,
David

Experienced the same subtitling "bugs" you described.
Opened a ver. 1.5 project in ver. 2. Then once in ver. 2, I revised some text in several subtitle clips. The revisions were displayed o.k. during preview, but when I built a new DVD Volume from ver.2, and tested the playback in WinDVD software player, it was the "old" subtitles that were displayed!!!!!
Apparently, the Encore 2 programmers overlooked a crucial subroutine in their coding. If i'm not mistaken, when you type-in or edit a subtitle clip, the program module that runs is something like a wordprocessor that works with the native fonts and formatting; the text in a subtitle clip is later rendered by Encore as a masked bitmap file overlaid onto the main video when you turn on the subtitles when you build the DVD volume (it's like in Photoshop where a text layer will be editable until you rasterize it, in which case the "text" becomes a bitmap image which you can no longer text-edit). I guessed that the edited subtitle clips were not being re-rendered by Encore. So, to work around this, I created/added new subtitle clips next to the "old" one and re-typed the text with the incorporated revisions, then deleted the "old" clip and repositioned the recently added/created clip. Afterwards, the subtitles with the corrected text displayed properly when I played back a re-built DVD volume.
But although this "work-around" works, it would simply be too bothersome if you had to revise hundreds of subtitle clips!!!!! A situation I later found myself confronted with!
What I did, then, was I duplicated the original subtitle track (which Encore failed to re-render properly) on which I had done the revisions; then, once the duplicate subtitle track had been pasted by Encore on the timeline, I deleted the original track and re-built a new DVD Volume. This time, all the revised subtitle clips were displayed correctly when I played back the volume in the software DVD player.
Nevertheless, I hope Adobe becomes aware of this bug and implement the appropriate fixes.

AIR bug with iOS fullscreen video! (easy repro)

Here's a bug with fullscreen AIR apps not dealing with iOS fullscreen video resize. Easy repro:
1. Create an mc with a background graphic aligned with the top and bottom of the stage. (This is so you can easily see the bug.)
2. Add a stageWebView and load an html page with embedded video. (or just load a video directly)
3. Play video and enable fullscreen mode.
4. Rotate device 90 degrees while in fullscreen mode and then hit "Done" button to return to stage (exit fullscreen).
5. BUG: Stage is now "pushed down" and off-screen. (even though the mc still traces x = 0)
Conclusion: the display bug occurs when the user exits the iOS native player fullscreen mode from a different orientation then they started with (common if the original aspect ratio was portrait)
Can someone else please confirm this? (The amount of stage "push" appears to corrolate with the height of the iOS status bar.)
Thanks.
PS. You don't necessarily need to load an html page. You can just have stageWebView load a video directly and experience the same result.
PPS. I also tried using the new UIWebView Native Extension and am seeing the same thing, so this is really looking like an AIR/Flash bug with the iOS native player.

A simpler summary for this issue:
If the device has been rotated since entering Fullscreen native player, a fullscreen app will be "pushed downwards" and off-screen slightly.
BUG: Adobe AIR app does not stay in fullscreen mode after such and event, ruining graphic UI for fullscreen apps.
Simple workaround: listen for on orientationChange and if stage.displayState == StageDisplayState.NORMAL, set to stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULLSCREEN.
However, iOS native player will lose traditional status bar appearance (and risk rejection by Apple??)
Complex workaround (as mentioned earlier) will keep the native player's status bar but result in the app's screen "flashing" upon resizing the stage.
Please help fix this bug by commenting in my bug report. Thanks again.

Weird screen issues with safari

Hi, I just got a refurbished 15" macbook pro...not retina, but I believe it's a 2012 model. I'm experiencing a couple weird issues with it. So far, they seem to be exclusive to Safari, but I'm not sure yet. Haven't been able to recreate the same problems in Chrome or other programs. The problems are:
1) When filling text into a blank or box...as in a google search, or typing a facebook message, the text I am typing will often disappear or be invisible until i move the cursur to someplace else...then the text will show up. Words at a time can be invisible. Like I said, so far, I'm only noticing this in Safari, not Chrome, but I'll have to test with Chrome some more to know for sure.
2) Sometimes portion of a page will be misplaced on the screen. For example, if I'm on Safari, and reading a news story, the left side of the page will look normal, and the right side of the page will look normal, but they won't match in the middle....I'll be seeing text from the beginning of the article one the left side, but from the end on the right side as though only part of the page is able to scroll. Again, this is only in Safari so far.
Both these issues (which I assume are related) have been happening since the first day I got the computer last week and it hasn't been dropped or had anything spilled on it or anything. I'm well within the warranty period, but this problem may be hard to recreate immediately if I bring it in to a store, so I want to check here first and see if anybody has any ideas.
I'm hoping this is a simple known bug with Safari that will eventually be fixed and not a problem with my new computer. It is enough to have me second guessing my decision to go with a refurbished model, but I'm probably just paranoid. I'd appreciate any info that anyone has. Thanks!!!

I could suggest a reset, but I don't believe that will do much good.
First, I would contact your local Apple Store, should you be near one, and see if the Genius Bar can solve the problem quickly.
Second, if they require repairs, you can use their expertise; or, you can use iPod Juice - a business that's more competitive. The latter is where I had my repairs done; email them for fees and services.

30EA3: German language bug with user defined reports still not fixed

In 30EA2: Limited folder functionality with German language
I wrote about a bug in 30EA2. Was this message noticed by the developers?
The bug still exists in 30EA3.
In new folders for user definded reports only the options "Kopieren" and "Exportieren" (copy and export) are available, when SQL-Deverloper runs in German language mode.
A workaround is to force language to English with the line
AddVMOption -Duser.language=en
in sqldeveloper.conf

I made a new thread for the same bug in 3.1EA2:
3.1EA2 Old bug with German language settings still exists
I have some hope, that my problem finally got noticed by the developers.

3.1EA2 Old bug with German language settings still exists

In the past I wrote several times about a bug in SQL Developer when running in German language mode. This bug is still not fixed in 3.1 EA2:
In new folders for user definded reports only the options "Kopieren" and "Speichern unter ..." ('Copy' and 'Cave as') are available, when SQL-Deverloper runs in German language mode. Other options like "Bearbeiten, Neuer Ordner, Neuer Bericht, Ausschneiden, Einfügen, Löschen" (Edit, New Folder, New Report, Cut, Paste, Delete) are missing. A workaround is to force language to English with the line
AddVMOption -Duser.language=en
in sqldeveloper.conf
I mentioned it first in Re: Folders with limited functionality about version 2.1.1.64 and then in 30EA2: Limited folder functionality with German language 3.0 EA2 and German language bug with user defined reports still not fixed Beta Release 3.0 EA3

I have raised a bug on this issue and I am actively looking into it.

Okay, i have 2 bugs with maverick. First, when I delete a file within a window, the files deletes but the preview doesn't delete until I close the window and reopen it. Second, I work on a network of computers and the search feature is now buggy...

Okay, i have 2 bugs with maverick. First, when I delete a file within a window, the files deletes but the preview doesn't delete until I close the window and reopen it. Second, I work on a network of computers and the search feature is now buggy... When I search for a file, A) it asks me if it's a name, or it wont produce anything, and B), its slower than in prior OS versions and in some instances I have to toggle to a different directory and go back to my original directory in the search: menu bar or the search wont produce anything... Very buggy.

It appears to me that network file access is buggy in Maverick.
In my case I have a USB Drive attached to airport extreme (new model) and when I open folders on that drive they all appear empty. If I right click and I select get info after a few minutes! I get a list of the content.
It makes impossible navigate a directory tree.
File access has been trashed in Maverick.
They have improved (read broken) Finder. I need to manage a way to downgrade to Lion again.

I have a MacBook Pro 5,4 running OSX 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.10. A website i like has a known bug with 5.1.10 and recommends I install a newer version of Safari or use Firefox or Chrome. Just looking for advice on the best approach. Thanks!

Unfortunately, Safari cannot be updated past 5.1.10 on a Mac running v10.6.8.
So, the options are to upgrade to a newer OS X or use Firefox or Chrome.
Be aware, Apple no longer support Snow Leopard v10.6 > www.ibtimes.com/apple-kills-snow-leopard-os-x-106-no-longer-receives-security-u pdates-1558393
See if your Mac can run v10.9 Mavericks > OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
If so, you can download and install Mavericks for free from the App Store.
