Weird verb behavior...

I just discovered today on one track of a project that the reverb tail was cut before it is supposed. It really stop instantly after 1, 2 or 3 seconds randomly when it's supposed to last 17 seconds in a smooth fade. Looking for the source, I tried to modify the plugin setting (it is a PlatinumVerb), I tried other verbs (GoldVerb, SilverVerb, Space Designer), always cutting really fast. Then I found that reopening the project made the problem disapear but only the first time it was played...the problem came back immediately after. After several attempts, I could bounce it as it should sound and then put it back in my project on another track as a solution. Then I found that putting the reverb on a bus didn't reproduce the problem.
The other reverbs on other tracks acts normally.
Did anyone experienced this kind of bug??

Oh I found the solution.
When converting from GLSL to AGAL the conversor is displacing the locations of the values.
for example:
In the vertex shader: In the fragment shader:
vPosition = v0 vPosition = v1
vNormal = v1
vSomething = v2
I had to create a function that searches for matches on variable names and look if the index has been moved. For now it has fixed the problem.

IPhone 6 Plus weird screen behavior

I recently started noticing some erratic touch behavior on my screen, it's as if I have a possessed phone such as taps that I did not make, or swipes (up/down/left/right) as well. The spotlight randomly swipes down, or the notification center (it seems like a consistent swipe down behavior but at different locations). I couldn't swipe left yesterday to unlock my phone, and sometimes hangs and only locking/unlocking can fix the unresponsiveness.
Moreover, random tappings affect games and apps such as whatsapp, where it goes to the previous page due to a top left page tap, and then again on the edit button, then starts randomly scrolling up and down and tapping random parts of the screen.
This is quite frustrating, I tried formatting and starting the phone as a new one and only installed Whatsapp, but the problem persisted, albeit at fewer occurrences.
Now I noticed the problem again even though I'm on iOS 8.1, with only apps, music, and photos synced back from iTunes. What is happening ? How can I get this fixed ?
Summary
Issue :
Erratic touch behavior which cannot be produced on demand
Rare screen unresponsiveness following the weird touch behavior
What I've tried :
Reset and start phone as New
Reset all Settings
Hard Reset
Currently using a sketching app to see how the screen taps randomly (for proof as well).

Weird keyboard behavior in MacBook Pro 13'

Hi guys, I have a MacBook Pro that's starting to show a strange keyboard behavior.
The problem is that the keys: e r t y u i o (curiously all belong to the same row) sometimes get unresponsive.
It's very annoying of course and it happened about 4 months after upgraded to Lion.
The geneal perfomance of the laptop was deteriorated and I've read that a clean install of Lion might help so I've did it thinking that it will also fix any OS weirdness about the keys too.
The machine works way better after the clean Lion install but the problem of those same keys persist.
What I did next was to reset the PRAM thinking it might be interference from some weird state there. But after the reset the problem persisted.
Curiously, I've figured out that when, for example the i key gets unresponsive, if I press AND hold the e key then the i key works totally fine (think of typing an "I" but using e instead of shift).
If, when pressing the unresponsive keys, I use different angles or quantity of force in the pressure of the keys or cornes of the key the behavior stays the same. The only thing that seems to affect is holding the e key down before pressing it. Every time it gets weird I do it and it kind of get normal for a while.
Also, sometimes, keeping some seconds the unresponsive key ends up getting responsive again (but not always).
This mac has about two years now and it's very well preserved.
Do this happen to anyone? ideas?
Is there some other thing than PRAM I could reset to see if it gets normal again?

You are making me dig into nightmare-ish memories here.
Ok, I'll share.
This is how turned out:
Needed to send my MBP to another town with an Apple authorized service provider and asked to change the keyboard for a new one.
It was ~20 days waiting until they got the new keyboard part from Apple and about ~3 more to get it fixed and ~2 more to get it again in town.
I received it very well packaged and all was fine after that but the whole thing was very expensive, ~40% of the price I paid for the whole MPB in the first place plus all that time without being able to use it.

Weird Battery Behavior in 7.1.1

Has anyone else noticed weird behavior after upgrading to 7.1.1 - on my 5s its not that the battery is draining quickly - in fact its showin 5 hours 40 minutes usage with 75% remaining - which i find hard to believe
whats weird is standby time equals the usage time but i have turnd off and aback on the iPhone - I even did a hard reset - i have a monitor program which is showing the cpu as mostly idling at 90% or more ( although the monitor probably doesnt know about the M7 chip - it probably doesnt even know about the A7 chip too)
The battery percentage is not going down quickly - it seems to be thr same rate as with 7.1 but i dont believe these numbers
Im going to let the battery drain completely and do a battery calibration - that some times helps after IOS upgrades
But i was wondering if anyone else was seeing this and had any suggestions

Out of curiousity, how were the issues fixed/resolved other the past? With IOS updates? Other?
The problem has always been an errant app that got stuck in a loop. It can happen any time, but is more likely to happen right after an update. My hypothesis is that the update process suspends running apps, and sometimes after the update they "lose their place" and spin their wheels trying to find it. (It's easier to say it that way then to talk about race conditions.) What will frequently fix it is to run the battery all the way down until the phone shuts off. This terminates all processes, even those that cannot be killed from the Quick Launch screen.
You can also try to find the app; if it's email turning off any Push email accounts, rebooting, and turning them back on will frequently fix it. If it's a 3rd party app killing all apps in the Quick Launch will frequently fix it.
Sometimes just turning off the phone for a few minutes will fix it.
Restoring the phone as new will usually fix it, but restoring from backup may not, because the app state may be preserved in the backup.
It really just a matter of trying things like these one at a time. One of them will work.
Do you or Trevor have a CPU monitoring app you believe is a quality application?
I've tried several, and haven't found any that I like. I like Trevor's answer.

Not a real problem anymore, but a weird Apache behavior wrt .php files

Hello everyone. Yesterday I was trying to set up an ordinary LAMP server in my VPS, running Arch (first time ever touching apache). After all was said and done, and apache and PHP were correctly configured following the Arch Wiki, I tried to get some things like phpmyadmin and ampache running, but I found out that my browser was asking me to download either a login.php file or an index.php file (to be more specific: I added a test.php file in /srv/http and that was interpreted correctly and I could see all the information as intented; if i pointed my browser to /phpmyadmin or /ampache though I would see the first page but after trying to, for example, logging in with phpmyadmin I'd get the download prompt). I googled around and yes, everything was configured as it should have, I had the AddHandler directive in the apache conf file and all that jazz. This morning, I log in, I start apache (since it wasn't working I figured that I might as well shut it down for the night and yes, while testing and setting up things yesterday I restarted the daemon every time) and everything works as it should: ampache lets me create my configuration, phpmyadmin lets me see my DBs and everything works. So, the problem apparently fixed itself, or at least the weird behavior I was witnessing is no more. Is there any specific reason for this? I wouldn't want to start from scratch (and I probably will, since I like to mess up a lot, that's how i learn!) to perhaps find myself in this spot again and not know what to do!

This was a problem with apache-2.2.17-2. Don't worry, it's fixed for good.

Weird keyboard behavior PS CS3

Hi all,
Every now and then it seems like my keyboard has gone nuts.
This always happens inside PS CS3. After doing some actions, especially when doing a 'Shift-Alt-Arrow key' action (duplicating a layer or group and moving), it looks as if the keyboard goes in some sort of 'Alt-Always-On' modus.
The annoying thing about this is, that regular keyboard-shortcuts for selecting a tool don't work (pressing 't' for the type tool does nothing) but far worse is the fact when you want to move a layer or group of layers they get unwantedly duplicated.
Sometimes this behavior seems to disappear, when I click around my desktop (outside of Photoshop), but sometimes it doesn't disappear. The only thing left to get rid of it is to quit and relaunch PS.
Does anyone else have this problem, and how can it be solved.
This weird keyboard thing does only appear in PS, every other application is not affected by it.
I'm running PS CS3 on Windows XP SP3
I have all updates of PS CS3 installed

Zeno,
I feel so stupid, but that also crossed my mind.
And to be honest, I think that is really the reason.
Why didn't I think of that before...

Weird compression behavior

I have been trying to compress some animation material for DVD. It is mostly flat colors with black outlines. The past few weeks I've been having trouble exporting to compressor via Final Cut (the connect to background process bug) and so I have been using reference movies loaded into Compressor standalone.
I am seeing weird behavior, though. When I compress the reference movie, the frames look fine although every now and then there are artifacts, pieces of the image that break down. I think of them as compression errors, and I suspected that the compression markers at the beginning of each clip were not being exported in the reference movie.
So I tried a few things and finally got Final Cut to connect to compressor directly. This worked in that the compression errors I was seeing are gone--HOWEVER, the overall quality of the encode has decreased markedly! The black lines around shapes are all jagged, and the whole image looks inferior to the one compressed in Compressor standalone.
The thing is, both of these were compressed using the exact same preset! Does anyone know what the deal is? I would like to get the image quality from the standalone Compressor encode, but without the artifacts.
Thanks for any advice,
Bob

Your mileage may vary with Compressor 2. Some like it, some don't.
As for your original question, I've never seen unexplained changes like what you describe in a preset's behavior with FCP HD and/or Compressor 1.2.1.
As for the "unable to connect to background process" problem I've seen that once in just over one year of use with Compressor and Final Cut. On this one occasion I just manually relaunched QMaster and everything was fine from then on.

Strange stacks icons and weird dock behavior

I got leopard for Christmas and on the first day of the install my icons on the right side of the dock- i guess the stacks for applications and downloads icons look weird. It's not a combination of all the icons in the stack like someone else wrote, it is a weird green, white, red rectangular shaped image with weird black and grey squiggles going through the middle. Also-I'm not sure how to describe it but what used to be a clear line I guess to separate the stacks stuff with the other icons on my dock it's next to about this mac icon on my dock has turned into a weird pink rectangle with a really small picture of the weird red, green, and white rectangle on top. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My husband is a windows guy and after me bragging about how much better mac is, I don't want him to know that I'm already having problems with leopard

No, this is not "normal behavior." The problem is that it is not consistent, either, so it is hard to tell what is going on. It may happen after using some full screen programs, but I am not sure. I am not able to reproduce the issue, myself. It just happens from time to time.
The icons are not changing after they are used. The ones in the download folder will usually have their normal appearance, the dmg file or a pdf file with its "preview" icon or whatever. Then, for some reason, I will notice some of the icons have become blocky and pixilated, not resembling anything, usually almost a solid color.
Again, the way to get them to change back is to remove the downloads folder from the doc and return it. Then all the icons return to their normal view.

Weird application behavior - solution

I recently had a major series of disk meltdowns. I suspect part of the problem may have been caused by letting my startup disk get too full and working with very large photoshop files (with photoshop using the startup disk as a scratch disk). Anyway, I managed to restore a clone of my startup drive, update all apps, and get back to work. I've cloned the startup drive to my second internal drive and intend to religiously update the clone whenever I update any applications (we'll see if I return to agnoticism). Anyway, several applications had weird behavior. Cleaner would succesfully compress one file and then quit. I could then restart cleaner and the batch list had successfully updated but again, just one compression and then a quit. DiskWarrior would successfully rebuild a drive directory but then quit without any notice. Today, I restarted from my cloned startup drive and ran diskwarrior on my main startup drive. Problem solved. Figured a few people out there might benefit from my experience.

Michael,
Often, the Quits are caused by a corrupt Property List file. When a number of apps have the Quits, that's another story. Back in v10.2, that was often caused by a hidden user prefs file
(~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist) where ~ is your user Home folder. You could try deleting it in Terminal, but I haven't heard of this causing these problems since Jaguar.
Maybe you could try creating a new user Account, log into the new Account and see if things improve. At least that would prove whether the cause has something to do with user prefs, including that hidden global prefs file.
I'm thinking it's a hardware problem, though.
EDIT: FWIW, here is the step-by-step for deleting that global prefs file and replacing it with a fresh copy:
1) Log in as an Administrator.
2) Create a new user account, called NewUser.
[The name isn't important, because you're going to delete this account when we're done].
2b) If the affected user account is not an administrator account, go ahead and make it one. You can revoke this privilege later, but it will make things easier for now.
3) Log out, and log back in as NewUser.
[This will initialize the account and create undamaged preferences.]
4) Log back out, and log in again as the user affected by the crashed (who, according to step 2b, is an Administrator).
5) Launch the "Terminal" application, located in /Applications/Utilities/
6) Type the following command (for all of the following, copy and paste):
cd ~/Library/Preferences/
7) Type this command:
rm .GlobalPreferences.plist
8) Type this command:
sudo cp /Users/NewUser/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist .
[it will ask for an administrator password to allow you to log in as root for this action]
9) Type this command -- DON'T COPY-PASTE THIS ONE! YOU NEED TO PUT YOUR OWN USERNAME:
sudo chown USERNAME .GlobalPreferences.plist
10) Log out.
10b) If you enabled Admin access on an account that shouldn't have it, log back in as an Administrator and disable that Admin access.
11) Delete the NewUser account.
12) Log out, and log in to the affected acount.
There will be some System Preferences you'll need to reset afterwards.

Weird textinput behavior embedded font

I have this weird behavior with an embedded font in a textinput.
I have embedded the myriad font and aplied it on a textinput.
In this weird scenrio when i type "test configuration" in the textinput and then pres the left arrow key the cursors will not go further back than the letter n in the word configuration.
This behavior is only with some font types, like myriad or ubuntu.
Since i have no clue how to upload attachments to this forum i created a Box link
https://www.box.com/s/0boj6u2kgmwojbg9ubhd
In here i have a video of the behavior and a test project.

Not sure if this will help you, but in order to get my embedded fonts to render, I had to do:
                GlobalSettings.resolveFontLookupFunction = null;
                //setup text item from xml
                var res:XML = XML(xml.htmlText.children()[0]);
                var tf:TextFlow = TextFlowUtil.importFromXML(res,WhiteSpaceCollapse.PRESERVE);
                tf.renderingMode = RenderingMode.CFF;
                tf.fontLookup = FontLookup.EMBEDDED_CFF;
                txt.textFlow = tf;
                txt.textFlow.whiteSpaceCollapse = WhiteSpaceCollapse.PRESERVE;
                txt.textFlow.invalidateAllFormats();
The important lines ar the first and last.

Weird window behavior after 10.10.3

I have an interesting issue with 10.10.3 finder window within Column view. In Illustrator and only Illustrator, when I go to Open or Place a file my finder window looks like this:
Look to the far right, I can’t view the files within the folder. And the grey scroll bar abruptly ends. I can't go any farther to view items in folder. I can resize columns but I have to do every time. To add to the weirdness, it is just the Open command this happens. If I do a Save As, it looks like this:
And I can view the files.
I have trashed Finder window prefs and Illustrator prefs and no luck.
Any thoughts???

I've got exactly the same issue with Illustrator CS6. Have tried updating Java with no luck. I'm also getting the same thing in the 'scroll view' (or whatever it's called) finder. Photoshop isn't affected. This only happened after I upgraded to 10.10.3. What I do know is that it's annoying

Lion produces weird trackpad behavior in Angry Birds

I upgraded to Lion this week. I know there are all sorts of new trackpad features, but the probem is that it messes up a lot in Angry Birds. For example, the various finger-swipes have unpredictable results; instead of resetting the screen, it might activate launchpad. Or it might jump you back to the "play" splash screen. The pinch and expand gestures might randomly activate mission control instead of zooming the way it did in pre-Lion Angry birds. And quite often, I'm finding that the trackpad stops responding at all! No matter what gesture I use, the bird sits there in the slingshot, unmoved, unless I restart the app. It's weird.
I've adjusted the trackpad settings in Settings as much as possible to accommodate gameplay, but AB still responds unusually to gestures, without regard to either the specified setting or to its pre-Lion performance. It seems like Apple put way too many features into every slight gesture on a trackpad, so it's become LESS intuitive because gameplay gestures trigger spontaneous resets and screen modifications instead of, well, game interaction.

Works for me and thanks i just try to see because i didn't play in Lion and the level that i was stuck in i pass it in the first try so thank you it works for me.But is true playing that game you can't do much gestures same thing happening before lion,just open it play it and close it.

Weird scroll behavior in Folder with actions attached

My downloads folder has an action that is performed when files are added. Now when scrolling down the contents within List mode, it will randomly jump back to whatever file I have selected. Is this expected behavior with folders that have actions attached? Anyway around it?

OS Lucinity wrote:
Wow, you're right! When I delete the .DS_Store file it scrolls properly, until the time when it again adds the .DS_Store file. I'm guessing that the action is corrupting the .DS_Store file.
for f in "$@"
do
touch "$f"
done
it really shouldn't be doing this if you are running this command on added files only. by I guess when the system updates the .DS_store file in this folder it first deletes the current one and only then writes out the new one. I know that's how it works with the plists. then it would probably run this command on .DS_store and that can easily cause the behavior you are seeing. you might try modifying the the folder action to ignore the .DS_store file. that will look like this
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;

overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
for f in ~/Desktop/3/*
do
if [ $(basename "$f") != .DS_Store ]
then
echo $f
fi
done</pre>
I found this app to remove folder actions. Wierd that I don't see a Folder Actions tab in my Finder contextual menu
it's there in the services submenu.

Weird panel behavior in Develop

I leave the left panel on auto to keep as large of a photo as possible while editing in develop.
I may go back and forth between 2-3 shots using the film strip to compare exposure corrections between different shots to choose the best one.
However, if one of the 3 shots has a preset applied to it every time I go to that image the left panel opens with it into the always open position. This does not happen if there are no presets applied.
Is this a bug or known/programed behavior? If so, can I stop it. Just because I applied a preset does not mean that I need to have the left panel open every time I view that image.
Thanks

John,
Tried your suggestions to no avail. Could be a quirky code thing or some conflict deep in the DLL world. I will leave the performance settings on "best performance" anyway, since I don't care about shadows and fades or any of the other features of the interface that improve appearance. I only care about the photos and they aren't impacted by those things.
Thanks anyway. Glad it worked for you.

Weird Internet behavior

Hello all,
Hopefully I can type this fast before the internet gives out again.
Here is my problem: On my Mac, my wireless internet will go out periodically. It does not just boot me off of the network, it is entirely incapable of detecting any networks (when there should be 4 or 5 that it usually detects and that other devices are able to see). If I restart my computer the internet is *sometimes* able to come back, sometimes not. The same goes for turning the computer entirely off and then back on again. The time range that I am able to use the internet has varied from as little as 2 minutes to as great as 3 hours, but it always eventually disconnects (as well as becomes incapacitated from even detecting the networks). I am using a shared college-wide internet connection in an on-campus apartment, so I have no authority or control over the router. If it was a router problem I would merely begrudgingly wait for those to be resolved by the tech guys on campus and go a couple days without the internet, but I have reasons to believe it is not. Those reasons are the following:
- Other devices are able to detect the network and connect to it.
- The computer exhibits the same problem with different wireless connections that it had previously recognized off campus (tested at a friends house).
- The menus exhibit sporadic behavior after the disconnection. For example, the wireless icon at the top right will tell me that the wireless is on, but the 'Systems Preference' menu will tell me that it is off, and sometimes vice versa. When I press "turn Wi-fi on" whenever the Wi-Fi is exhibited as being "off" by the System Preferences menu, the button is entirely ineffective and does nothing. The same goes for the "Turn Wi-Fi On" option in the icon's expansion menu. However, even when both the icon and the preferences menu agree that the wireless is "on" (which is probably just a coincidence when that happens), whenever I enter either "Assistant" or "Diagnostics", a menu pops up informing me that my wireless is, as a matter of fact, off!
As I was typing this, I had to save my response in a notepad because the wireless gave out again and have now had to login twice. Does anybody know what's going on? Is there anything else I should try to illucidate this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 2
Disconnect all USB 3 devices. If you don't know which are USB 3, disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. If you find that Wi-Fi works better with Bluetooth disabled, you should use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. Your router may not support it; in that case, you need a new router.
Step 4
Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
Step 5
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 6
Reset the PRAM.
Step 7
Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
Step 8
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.
