Subject: Reproducible FM12 file corruption?<br>
<br>
I've been seeing occasional wonkiness (yes, I know... it's a technical term)<br>
since upgrading from FM10 to TCS5 (FM12), but I think I have narrowed at<br>
least one of them down to the point where the behavior is reproducible on<br>
demand, but I'll be darned if I know what is triggering it.<br>
<br>
Let's find out if it's just my installation/environment or if it affects<br>
others.<br>
<br>
I'm running TCS5 under Windows 7, 64-bit Enterprise.<br>
<br>
To try to eliminate character & paragraph format catalog issues and template<br>
anomalies, once I was able to reproduce the behavior, I tried doing the same<br>
in a generic FM file, and am also seeing the behavior there, so that's what<br>
I'm going to walk through. I've included screenshots of what I see along the<br>
way.<br>
<br>
1. Create a new file using the default "Portrait" blank paper.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.taxschool.illinois.edu/images/fm/fm12-1.png" target="_blank">http://www.taxschool.illinois.edu/images/fm/fm12-1.png</a><br>
<br>
2. Copy in a few paragraphs of generic text (I use <a href="http://www.lipsum.com" target="_blank">www.lipsum.com</a>).<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.taxschool.illinois.edu/images/fm/fm12-2.png" target="_blank">http://www.taxschool.illinois.edu/images/fm/fm12-2.png</a><br>
<br>
3. Save the file.<br>
<br>
4. Place your cursor in one of the paragraphs.<br>
<br>
5. In the Paragraph Designer, change the Spread to 1% and hit Enter to<br>
"Apply".<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.taxschool.illinois.edu/images/fm/fm12-3.png" target="_blank">http://www.taxschool.illinois.edu/images/fm/fm12-3.png</a><br>
<br>
6. Save the file.<br>
<br>
7. Press Ctrl+z to undo.<br>
<br>
8. WHAMMO!<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.taxschool.illinois.edu/images/fm/fm12-4.png" target="_blank">http://www.taxschool.illinois.edu/images/fm/fm12-4.png</a><br>
<br>
On my system, the margins change completely, as if room for side heads was<br>
added. In my main working file it also put footnotes in the middle of pages.<br>
<br>
Also, it's not just any kind of change prior to a save and then undo that<br>
triggers the corruption. Simple text edits do not trigger it, however<br>
changes in the paragraph and character designers do. It's not just font<br>
attributes, but changing paragraph attributes and applying them, followed by<br>
a save and undo will also trigger the corruption. Changing the color of<br>
selected text via the tool palette, save, undo, will also trigger it.<br>
<br>
It appears to be the sequence of (1) anything involving changing<br>
*ATTRIBUTES* of text, (2) a save, and (3) an immediate undo, that triggers<br>
it. If I do the above steps without a save, the undo does not cause the<br>
corruption. It's as if reverting to a pre-save state makes FM go haywire.<br>
<br>
Now that I know what triggers the page going nuts, I now know what to avoid<br>
doing. I would experience this periodically since I'm a save-monkey, and<br>
wouldn't know what the heck was going on.<br>
<br>
Bizarre.<br>
