Alarm sounds

Post by alyosha »

As far as I can tell, the only problem I've had with Mellel since upgrading to Snow Leopard is that the system alarm sounds (beep) whenever I use the short cuts for paragraph and character styles. So, if I select my regular text - cmd-1, nothing happens except the alarm, then I press it again - cmd-1, and it changes to regular. Obviously this isn't a major problem, but it is particularly annoying. It has continued in the update of 2.6.2.

Any ideas of how to eliminate this problem. Its not that I have other actions assigned to those short-cuts (that I know of, unless for some reason snow leopard suddenly introduced a whole bunch. But, as I say, nothing happens, and it doesn't happen in other programs, like safari or mail.)

That's a known issue with Snow Leopard, we believe it is due to some bug in the operating system and we are waiting Apple's response regarding this.

i have the same problem (which is obviously a sl problem) but when i hit cmd+1 twice, I get my regular character style, but the "e" version rather than "base". Is this part of the bug as well, or do i just not know what i'm doing :)?

What is the variation before you apply the style using cmd+1?

Hi Eyal,

It happens with all of my character and paragraph style changes, as well as sometimes, if not most of the time, when I add markers. To answer your question, the paragraph and character style were both "regular," or base. The alarm sounded the first time but the text was changed the second time. It happens both on new and older documents.

I'm getting a problem just with character styles (support email sent).

When I press the shortcut, nothing happens the first time (no beep or anything else) and then the char. style is applied on the second press.

Para styles seem to apply on the first press.
