<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>This happens in FM 11 as well.<br><br>I've had this change happen a handful of times over the past couple of years and could never figure out what caused it. When I saw it occur I immediately reverted to the saved file. I rarely change Spread, so I don't think that is the critical trigger for this bug.<br><br>Craig<br><br><div>> From: rick@rickquatro.com<br>> To: dharding@illinois.edu; framers@lists.frameusers.com<br>> Subject: RE: Reproducible FM12 file corruption?<br>> Date: Mon, 2 Jun 2014 08:50:07 -0400<br>> <br>> Confirmed here as well.<br>> <br>> Rick Quatro<br>> Carmen Publishing Inc.<br>> 585-366-4017<br>> rick@frameexpert.com<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> -----Original Message-----<br>> From: framers-bounces@lists.frameusers.com<br>> [mailto:framers-bounces@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Harding, Dan<br>> Sent: Friday, May 30, 2014 1:31 PM<br>> To: framers@lists.frameusers.com<br>> 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>> http://www.taxschool.illinois.edu/images/fm/fm12-1.png<br>> <br>> 2. Copy in a few paragraphs of generic text (I use www.lipsum.com).<br>> <br>> http://www.taxschool.illinois.edu/images/fm/fm12-2.png<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>> http://www.taxschool.illinois.edu/images/fm/fm12-3.png<br>> <br>> 6. Save the file.<br>> <br>> 7. Press Ctrl+z to undo.<br>> <br>> 8. WHAMMO! <br>> <br>> http://www.taxschool.illinois.edu/images/fm/fm12-4.png<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>> <br>> Dan Harding<br>> Technical Editorial Specialist<br>> University of Illinois Tax School<br>> _______________________________________________<br>> <br>> <br>> You are currently subscribed to framers as rick@rickquatro.com.<br>> <br>> Send list messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com.<br>> <br>> To unsubscribe send a blank email to<br>> framers-unsubscribe@lists.frameusers.com<br>> or visit<br>> http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/rick%40rickquatro.com<br>> <br>> Send administrative questions to listadmin@frameusers.com.
