Re: workarounds for FM10 UI bugs?
I got a reply from Adobe QA a couple of weeks ago (three years and a few months after I posted this): ... First of all thanks to raise these pain points, we have taken note and will investigate them at earliest. Some issues are already fixed by now, I have my comments inline[red]. Please do let us know if there are further pain points. - 1. Document window size and position are not saved. [ksaini]: Right now document window is not supported but locations of most modal and modeless dialog boxes are remembered. We will investigate on remembering document window position. 2. Docked panels often appear behind the document window, and I have to resize, minimize, or close the document window to use them. Since window size and position are not saved, I have to resize them dozens of times a day. [ksaini]: We will consider this in our coming releases 3. Sometimes I have the opposite problem: the side of a window is completely blocked by the character or paragraph tag catalog, so I have to minimize, close, or move the panel before I can resize the window. [ksaini]: Same as 2. 4. When I open a panel, sometimes it appears behind another panel that's already open, and I have to move one or the other before I can use it. [ksaini]: Fixed in FM Next( the upcoming release of FM) 5. The first time I press Ctrl-f, I can just type the search string, but after that the focus within the Find/Change seems to be random, so I can't. [ksaini]: We shall investigate to fix this but for now there’s a workaround – disable editàpreferencesàInterfaceàHide pod on close. 6. After a book has been open for a while, it no longer responds to menu commands. I can double-click files to open them or use the right-click menu, but if I try to select a menu command such as Edit Update Book or File Save As PDF the book window minimizes and is no longer active. The only workaround I've found is to close and reopen the book window, which I end up doing dozens of times a day. [ksaini]: Don’t see these issues in FM 12 or internal builds 7. A separate FrameMaker button appears on the taskbar for each file that's open. [ksaini]: if document window is undocked and FM icon is hovered then multiple instances appears, similar behavior is there in outlook/browsers. We would like to understand your pain point here. 8. The FrameMaker console window appears behind the application window. Bringing it to the front is sometimes difficult. [ksaini] fixed in FM 12 patch. 9. When I first start FrameMaker, Ctrl-F6 switches between open windows. After a while, it stops working. (I can use alt-key menu navigation.) [ksaini]: Works fine in FM 12/ FM next 10. Alt-key menu letters are not displayed for all menu commands (e.g. Documents on the Window menu). [ksaini]: In FM 12 we improved some menu. We will take this up in future. 11. If I Alt-Tab to FrameMaker from another application, pressing Alt-Tab again takes me to another FrameMaker document window (if more than one document is open) instead of back to the other application.

RE: FM12 Transparent Graphics PLUS New Question
Hello, Thanks to all who made suggestions for the use of transparent graphics. Even when using a clipping path in an EPS file, we had trouble with the thin line around the image border. We eventually decided to add the product image and the background logo as a single combined image ... because we can control all of the settings and variations within Adobe Illustrator. This does complicate our process just a little bit, but we get what we want. NEW QUESTION: Still FM12 on Win7 PC Why do keyboard commands sometimes get ignored? I like keyboard cmds such as [Esc] [m] [p] to minimize an anchored frame around a graphic image. When the PC is freshly booted and FrameMaker is freshly launched, this usually works. At times, however, keyboard commands are ignored. This also is true for commands such as [Esc] [Spacebar] [n or m] for en and em spaces, and [Esc] [-] [h] for non-breaking hyphens. It takes a reboot of FM software AND the Windows OS to get this feature to work ... but only sometimes ... at times I just need to wait a few days8-(ARGHHH ! In contrast, commands such as [Ctrl]+[q] [Shift]+[p] provide an en dash even when the Escape commands fail. Your advice is always appreciated. I have been on the digest since FM 4 and enjoy the information as well as the banter.
