FW CS4 - BIG problems with text-engine!

#1 10-28-2008, 07:54 PM

Hi there!

Just bought FW CS4 (Mac) and everything seems fine but... I'm having many odd
problems with the new text-engine. It happens when I open CS4-saved documents
or just by flipping through the pages in a document. The text moves position -
it looks like the text-frame itself is placed away from the original area! This
bothers me BIGTIME!! And when it occurs I can't see the real edge around the
"moved" text! This takes much of my precious time to fix...

Is this a common problem on the Mac version?

TIA!

Hi Henriko,
Can you post any sample png file with the behavior mentioned? I am assuming that the files were created in the Fireworks CS4 build and not the Fireworks CS4 Beta build.

Hi Sarthak!

Yes, it's the Fireworks CS4 build 10.0.0.495 I'm working on.
Here's a ZIP including the sample PNG + a screenshot if the problem doesn't
occur with you.

I really really hope to find a solution to this because I got used to CS3 alot
and would hate to go back to Photoshop again.

Thanks!

I have exactly the same problem with Fireworks CS4. Happens when I move text
using keyboard arrows or shift+arrows. Text box jumps like 10px away from
actual text position. I am on WinXP SP3. Using same build as Henriko.

Hi Henriko,

When I double clicked inside the text object, which was giving problems, things seem to work fine. Although the text was moved and had to be re-aligned.

Well that IS THE PROBLEM. We have to realign the text again and again when the
text box jumps like crazy. Doesnt happen all the time, but too often. Fireworks
CS3 was much more stable.

I would appreciate, if you gave us a normal response, no "seems to work fine
stuff".

Also Adobe support is really slow. I opened a case 2 weeks ago, and still got
no response. How is that even possible?

Hi henriko,

By any chance does the sample png file posted by you contains any text
elements which were either created in some earlier builds of Fireworks CS4? Did
you copy-paste any text elements from another file which might have been
created using an intermediary build or so?

If this file has been completely created newly in 495 build, then exactly when
did you start seeing the text bounding box shifting. If you can let us know the
steps after which you are seeing this issue, it would be of great help!

Thanks,
Arun

Hi,

I'm having similar problems. I imported a file with 51 pages, previously
built in CS3. Fonts were jumping as detailed in posts. I removed 28 pages
thinking that this might solve the problem. To no avail. I am using CS4 build
10.0.0.495 - which I installed on Saturday, Nov. 1.

In most cases, I am trying to edit existing text. when clicking on the text,
the bounding box moves to the lower right and down (mostly down). I am unable
to edit text at that point. Realignment does no good to correct the problem.

Hi mebadger,

I have send you a private message requesting for the png file.
I understand here that your png file was created entirely in CS3 and none of
the FWCS4 beta or intermediary builds were used. Please correct me if I am
wrong.

Thanks,
Arun

Yes, that is correct. I used CS3 only, and did not use any intermediate CS4 builds or betas.
