   It was not Adobe’s fault, but Rosetta’s…

   Sorry, I jumped the gun, but apparently the situation is only “improved” and not fixed. Many non-integer numbers will display as intended, but other will still display out to 15- or 16-digits. It’s still a worthwhile update, but it doesn’t technically “fix” the cosmetic measurement problem with InDesign CS2.

   It also doesn’t fix the apparent Rosetta problem where if you click on a colour in your swatch palette, it gives the proper colour mix in CMYK, but if you click on the colour in the colour picker, it’s incorrect. This happens in InDesign CS2 and Illustrator CS2. Doesn’t seem to happen on PPC machines.

   Unfortunately, the update seems to have introduced another serious -perhaps more serious- problem. When using any of the Pathfinder functions, be it from the pallet or as an effect, on a circular path, Illustrator crashes like there’s no tomorrow…

   I get the crash with using the pathfinder and also using the knife tool, everytime.

   The Illustrator bug is a known issue. The fix is to close the Appearance palette and then quit Illustrator. When you restart the program the bug is gone (you have to ensure the Appearance Palette is always closed when quitting).
