Preview Searching Bug

Anyone else noticed that Preview search is broken?
I just loaded a PDF file and searched for a friend's name (it's an old computer club newsletter). It found the instances of his name, and hitting command-g would cycle through them.
I then searched for another term and Previous found the first occurrence.
However, when I hit command-g to cycle through them, it went back to finding instances of the first search instead of what I was currently looking for, while displaying the new term in the search entry.
In fact, I was not able to get Preview to search for other words in that document without closing it and opening the file again.
Seems to happen on other files as well.
I'm going to file a bug report, but I'm curious if anyone else has noticed this.

Same sort of weirdness -- not sure if its the same bug -- here.
Yes, the Preview search capabilities certainly look busted in 10.5.1.
When this crops up, the only way I can search through all the hits shown is by selecting each individually with the pointer. And they don't highlight in the sidebar. With the sidebar selected, I can't successfully select the next match in the sidebar. It loops within the section, and nothing shown in the main window gets highlighted in the sidebar. (This is severely weird search navigation, yes.)
If I quit Preview and relaunch when I get stuck in this particular morass, it appears to clear the problem. At least, I just tried that and it seemed to clear it.
Also when this case cropped up, I noticed these over in the console window:
12/21/07 11:33:58 AM Preview{880} NSMapInsert: map table argument is NULL
Is there a bug number I can reference when I log this? I'm not sure if I'm seeing the same bug, or a cousin here, since I'm currently using the same search string for several searches.

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.

Search bug with dutch language.

Yesterday, I ran into a basic search bug.
I create a dutch content area, and place a text item on it. When I search for the title of this item zero results are found.
When I place an item on an english CA (voorbeeldinhoudsgebied=sample content area), the search works fine.
I've logged a TAR and bug 1679678 is created.
Does anybody know a workaround for this problem?
I've done no testing on other languages.
Regards,
Ton

Any help finding a "patch" for Finder?
Try reinstalling the Portuguese language files by running the Language Translations installers found in the OptionalInstalls.mpkg of the Leopard DVD.

Try to do a hard reboot (no data is lost) by holding down the home and power buttons at the same time untilyou see the Apple logo. Then, let go of both buttons. If that doesn't work, try restoring your iPod and do NOT restore from a backup. This will erase your data, but you can sync back everything except app data and settings from iTunes.

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.

you have the same issue with your old card too??
can you test your card in another PC?
have you tried to reinstall OS?
have you tried a different cable for the monitor and/or a different monitor?

Finder search bug? No results if 'Search' field is blank.

I can't determine if this is a bug or is simply a change in Finder search behavior (for the worse, IMO) in 10.8.
In the Finder, when I select 'File>>Find' (or hit ⌘-F) and then select the current folder from the top of the search parameters, no files appear in the search results if the 'Search' (for filename) field at the top of the window is blank even though the only other search parameter is 'Kind is Any'.
If I enter text in the 'Search' field, matching results start to appear.
In 10.7, I saw different behavior. In the absence of text in the Search field, the Finder would simply return results matching the other parameters and ignore the Search field.
With the new behavior, there doesn't seem to be any way to construct a saved search based solely on other parameters (kind, date, file label, etc) without specifying some filename parameter as well. Of course, I can work around the problem by using something like 'NOT xxx!@#$%' in the Search field, but this approach is klugy at best.
Anyone else see this? Bug? Deliberate change in Finder behavior?

Yes the report ESH_TEST_SEARCH returns no material.
So should I suspend the indexing and reschedule with with real time indexing ? I am not sure whether we choose real time indexing in the first time.
What about the authorizations, I see USER_AUTHORITY object is activealready.
Thanks

Search Bug in iTunes 5.0

Hi there,
I've run into a very simple bug regarding the search function of the iTunes 5.0 Library, where the new filters don't work as expected. Here's an example:
While viewing Library, type into the search box a couple of letters e.g. "kr". For me, the list shows all 33 items with "kr" in "All" (any) fields. The search bar is also displayed with "All" and "All" highlighted. So far so good. Now, I click on the "Name" filter. This narrows down the list to 3 items that contain "kr" in the Name field of the song. This is also fine. To summarise, "kr" in "All" fields = 33 items, "kr" in "Name" = 3 items.
Now, I clear the search by clicking on the "x" button of the search field, and the Library shows all items again. Fine.
The problem occurs on the second or subsequent searches. In the search field, I type in "kr" again. The search bar shows "All" is active again, but there are only 3 items displayed, when there should be 33. These are actually the 3 items from a "Name" filtered search. The problem is that the search filter from the previous search stays in effect, but the search bar reverts to displaying the "All" button. Clicking the "All" button does not reinstate the "All" view - only clicking some other filter and then "All" again will actually reinstate the "All" view. The search query you type doesn't matter either. Type in anything the second time and it will still be filtered on "Name".
Anybody else seeing this bug?
I would let Apple know about this except that for some reason Apple equates "Provide iTunes Feedback" in the iTunes menu with "Request Music" on their web site ( http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html ), which is both absurd and useless.

Bryan, a little off topic, but here is a suggestion.
Thanks. I had all that, but someone high and mighty at Apple took away my ability to change my preferences.
A while back, when I got to be a level 3 and change my logo, I had an apple. I received an e-mail that I should change it, and I did.
Then in my computer area, I had my iTunes library info (songs, days, gigs).
Anyway, they said I continued to ignore their rules, and now I don't have preferences privledges. I've posted in the mod forum, and did get one response, but when I tried to explain myself that I indeed didn't do anything wrong, I never received a response.
At the time of my "demotion", my logo was the FireWire logo, my location was my City,State, and my computer info was my iTunes library info. If they didn't want me to use any of this, a simple message would have been all that would have been needed for me to change any of the above.
I understand these things happen, but don't appreciate any response after leaving several messages stating my side of the story.
Bryan

Weird AudioFileStreamParseBytes() bug

This is driving me batty. I'm using AudioFileStreamParseBytes() to parse data from an mp3 Shoutcast stream and then hand it off to the Audio queue for playback. The code works fine for all the Shoutcast streams I've tested, except for one - and of course the one that doesn't work is the one I really need to work.
From what I've been able to determine, AudioFileStreamParseBytes() is frequently getting confused by the mp3 stream. It's an MPEG-1 layer 3 VBR stream, at 44100, with an average bitrate of 80. The stream also includes a CRC-16 checksum in each MP3 frame. The stream is being generated by a Barix Instreamer 100 (in case that matters). The stream also plays fine via iTunes.
I'm cross-referencing the stream data with a network sniffer and can confirm I am receiving valid mp3 frames from the Shoutcast server. I also can confirm this identical valid collection of frames is being passed to AudioFileStreamParseBytes(). However, when AudioFileStreamParseBytes() calls my packet callback function with the parsed data, it will frequently skip a valid mp3 frame header and will instead think some data in the middle of the frame (which happens to start with FF) is the mp3 frame header.
Has anyone seen anything like this? The problem is so frequent it occasionally will happen on the very first frame, causing the AudioFileStream logic to misidentify the type of stream (usually resulting in an incorrect frequency or file type).
I'm tempted to just bypass using the AudioFileStream and load the mp3 frame into the AudioQueue directly from my TCP stream, but I thought using the AudioFileStream was supposed to offer some better error handling in case data transmission is temporarily interrupted. As it seems right now, however, the AudioFileStream is introducing errors of its own - at least with this one problematic Shoutcast stream.

Oddly, the problem with AudioFileStreamParseBytes() only exists when compiled for a Mac OS target. If I run the same code on an iPhone (either via the simulator or a real iPhone device) the function parses the MP3 stream just fine.
Weird...
Fortunately, my real target is the iPhone (I was just doing initial development on a Mac since I thought the audio stream debugging would be easier/faster - silly me!), so I guess I don't really mind this bug anymore.

Preview 4.2 search bug?

I used to be able to easily search a parts catalogue using older versions of Preview. Now when I put same number in to Preview 4.2 the matching string does not show up even though it's in there - instead I have to scroll through endless search results matching only first groupo of numbers in the whole string, rendering the search unusable.
Have searched and googled but can find no reference to this.
Have only experienced since upgrading to Leoprad, the older version of preview (3.0.7 I thin) running on my Tiger machine works fine and homes in instantly on matching string.
Anyone have a fix please?
Thanks

About the best(?) I could find in Leopard 10.5.8 Preview application, was a way of
"assigning keywords to an image or pdf document" to help in later finding them(?)
In the open Preview application, there is a Help menu bar, within it, is Preview Help.
While there are several things Preview can do, the kind of search it used to do in
Tiger is not among them in the rendition of Preview given us in Leopard.
Seems to me, using EasyFind may be faster;
depending on what you're looking to find.
One or more of the comments about this freeware app said they found Search in
Preview lacking after they upgraded to Leopard, compared to Tiger's Preview. And
Find, within Preview is also somewhat limited.
Not sure if one could call the omission or change of a feature, a 'bug'; however since
Leopard 10.5(.8) is well past the development stage, fixes to this kind of problem are
unlikely to occur. You could try to Contact Apple (in web site) and suggest a bug-fix.
Apparently this has been a known issue, for those who sought to keep using it thus.
Since I hadn't been using the Preview's built-in search, in either OS X, it's my loss.
There probably are other user forum questions about this matter elsewhere online.
However involved the idea to 'assign keyboards to images and PDF documents' may
be, the Preview Help suggestion has a few words to say about. + I'm not impressed.
Sorry to not have a definitive answer or a fix to this issue.
Good luck & happy computing!

Search Bug in Mountain Lion Mail

After having Mail open for a few hours, when I search for something all of the results in the left colum, which shows the sender, display my name only. I've tested this by searching by the persons name for the most recent item in my inbox, and my name still shows up regardless. If I quit and reopen mail this issue resolves itself, but as mentioned, only for a few hours. Anyone else notice this bug? I've tried to change the settings in Pref, but to no avail.

I have the same problem in 10.8. I have an email account (.domain) that forwards to my .mac account. In 10.7, with "Send new messages from account of selected mailbox" an email to .domain that was forwarded to my .mac account could be replied to with the sender being .domain. Now in 10.8, the same situation puts the sender as the .mac account. Something has clearly changed. Very annoying.
By the way, in both cases, I have one inbox with 4 accounts in it. But with 10.7 the email address it was sent to (even if it was forwarded) was used as the sender. Now it is always the account it was received in.
Not sure which one was a feature and which one is a bug.
Any thoughts on a work around (other than not forwarding) would be great.

Email search bug

I have discovered what I believe is a recent bug in Mail - I am using version 6.6 under OSx 10.8.5
I have my mail preview displayed in sort by date order. It threads the topics for me very nicely and on the indented threads it shows the name of the SENDER which is exactly what I would expect.
If I then do a search for an email of a word that appears in the email I get a similar view expect that the name displayed is the name of the ADRESSEE not the sender. This is really bizarre and not useful. Most email in my inbox is sent to me so this doesn't tell me anything. When searching I want to know who the email was sent FROM.
I can only assume that this is a bug and I would be grateful if Apple would fix it.

Thanks Tony - I hand't realised you can do this so I have filed a bug report as suggested.
The problem has been driving me mad as at first I hadn't realised why I could not find an email that I knew I had received. It seems a silly bug!
