Issues resolved 

Product issues resolved 

  1. The Smart Catalog launch time the first time it is invoked after FrameMaker is launched needs to be improved.

    (Ref# 3502872)

  2. In FrameMaker XML Author, if an xdocbook application is used to generate a book from an XML file, the book generation fails since the book component (fm file) is not generated (supported in FrameMaker XML Author)
    Now, in FrameMaker XML Author, the file opens as a normal XML file.

    (Ref# 3708980)

  3. The keyboard shortcuts for Math symbols such as the letter alpha, the infinity symbol, right arrow does not work in the Equation editor.

    (Ref# 3705107)

  4. Typing anything in Ditamap resource view deletes the selected file.

    (Ref# 3708353)

  5. FrameMaker crashes if a user attempts to update the properties of a HotSpot from the HotSpot pod.

    (Ref# 3708428)

  6. Frame crashes on deleting markers from marker pod when some stale entries are present in the pod.

    (Ref# 3708429)

  7. The keyboard shortcut Esc+e Shift+s to display Suppress Automatic Reference Updating dialog box is not working.

    (Ref# 3708430)

  8. FrameMaker crashes if you take a MathML equation out of an anchored from, edit the equation, and then undo the operation.

    (Ref# 3708739)

  9. If a MIF file containing a UserString tag is published using the multi-channel publishing solution FrameMaker crashes.

    (Ref# 3708775)

  10. Adding the font and background color properties to an EDD and saving a file with this EDD as MIF corrupts the EDD.

    (Ref# 3708854)

  11. When using regular expression Find and Change, if the text is replaced via a regular expression group, the anchors contained in the text are deleted.
    Also, the anchors were deleted for any replace string (simple string or capture groups).

    (Ref# 3709181)

  12. Menus corresponding to certain commands defined either in customui.cfg or in clients might not be visible in FrameMaker.

    (Ref# 3709427)

  13. Clicking the close (X) button in the taskbar causes multiple Save dialog boxes to display.

    (Ref# 3711744)

  14. Character tagged subscripts and superscripts are honored by the <$paratext> building block in a cross-reference. However, when the file is part of a Book and the book is updated (including cross-refs), then the formatting is removed from the cross-reference.

    (Ref# 3712113)

  15. If a book or Ditamap is in focus, the Clear Search button in the Conditional Tags pod does not clear the text in the Search text box.

    (Ref# 3717901)

  16. The TOC does not include topics of level 3 and below when publishing to HTML5 or WebHelp output formats from DITA.

    (Ref# 3720261)

  17. Consider a scenario where two documents are part of a FrameMaker book and one document contains a cross-reference to the other document. If the destination document is renamed, the Update book procedure indicates that the cross-references will be resolved however they are broken.

    (Ref# 3728060)

  18. Table properties can't be changed from Table Designer if table anchor is selected.

    (Ref# 3730566)

  19. When collapsing the last element in the Structure view, the contents is not automatically scrolled.

    (Ref# 3719656)

  20. Dragging and dropping elements in Structure View is possible over very short distances in the structure. When dragging an element over the edge of the Structure View panel, causes the view to scroll very fast. After this is it difficult to drop the element back where the original location.

    (Ref# 3719659)

  21. The Uncheck all button that is used to uncheck all condition tags (change the tag state from IN to NOT IN) is not available in the Conditional Tags pod.
    To uncheck all condition tags, select the content in the document and click Uncheck All in the Conditional Tags pod.

    (Ref# 3733111)

  22. The default value for the image "align" attribute defined in the EDD of a structured document was not honored by FrameMaker. This has been corrected. Now, if the value for the align attribute is not defined in the document or not set through Attribute editor, then FrameMaker checks for default value defined in the EDD. If a default value is not defined in the EDD, the image is "center" aligned in the document.

    (Ref# 3709480)

  23. In the CSS Rule definition dialog (launched from the Publish Settings dialog), if the&nbsp;Same for allcheck box is checked or unchecked the Right, Bottom, or Left text fields remain disabled.

    Now, if the Same for all check box is unchecked the Right, Bottom, or Left text fields are editable.
