    Thanks @Anonymous !
    That was stupid - although careless is probably a better word ;o)

    Double-clicking the .vbs file on my iMac opens Text Wrangler.
    Is there any other way to install ?

    GReg - read the comment above - download 14.0.2.315.
    it has been fixed.

    Phantom Steve commented  · 

    Valerie - see the note above from Ravi - it has been fixed.

    Phantom Steve commented  · 

    Thanks Ravi, this works as expected.
    Happiness returns. ;o)

    Hi Abhinav, why is this taking so long to fix?
    It was a silly modification to begin with, but now it's a major user problem.
    I'm not sure who comes up with these plainly ridiculous updates.
    Can you not release a patch to address this one critical issue in a hurry ?
    It's months now - and still we all sit with the problem. I haven't come across one person who thought this was a good idea.

    Phantom Steve commented  · 

    Ravi - this needs a more urgent review. It needs a patch to offer the ability to permanently disable it.
    It's a massive problem for print workflows.
    Please urgently attend to it and have a patch released.

    Phantom Steve commented  · 

    Could we get a fix for this asap please ?
    It's affecting me a few times a day - and it seems like I'm not the only one.
    It should be viewed as a critical failure requiring immediate action.

    Phantom Steve commented  · 

    Definitely needs to be OFF by Default.
    No question.
    Or at least a preference for all documents.
    I have never needed the feature and probably never will - now it's just adding extra steps and messing with my otherwise smooth workflow.
    Terrible waste of time.

    I like this - but how do you prevent the application of conflicting Character Styles ?
    For example - how do you prevent the user applying a CS for Condensed Bold and a CS for Extended Bold at the same time ?

  5. Allow for fractional changes to % in image size (and other) fields using the keyboard arrow keys

  6. Clicking document-installed font from font list gives error to "activate font" and doesn't change font.

    A workaround would be to create a Paragraph Style.
    But it's not good as it is - a real puzzle.

    Agree with some other comments - frame strokes should be customisable, allowing different weights, styles and colours for each side (much the same as the corners can be different radii and styles).
    I understand there may be difficulties with multi-sided objects of more than 4 sides.
    But if it could be implemented for 3 or 4 sided frames that would be amazing - and it would allow for extended creative opportunities.

  9. Please add proper standard printing condition(s) and icc-profiles
