Almer/Blank Labs

..or vice-versa. After starting my new gig with Almer/Blank today, I changed my workflow a bit to incorporate my Macbook along with an external 21″ display. The primary development environment in our projects is Flex Builder.

Well, the first thing I noticed when going in to edit a file was that the line numbers weren’t tracking correctly with the page scrolling. I figured that this was a fluke, so I tried restarting Flex Builder. Nothing. Tried again. No go. With some tight deadlines, I kind of put that aside and pushed through without using line numbers (which really sucks, if you get used to relying on them like me). After things slowed down a little, I came across this bug ticket: http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-23023 Basically, the problem arises when using Flex in an external display. Also, it seemed to crop up with the release of Snow Leopard. So, if you’re reading this and have the same issue or know someone who does, please do us a solid and place a vote for that ticket On another note, I’ve also noticed quite a lag when using Flex Builder on the mac lately. I had to force quit today when working on a fairly light project, and I’ve read that others have had performance issues with FB that are related to Snow Leopard. Furthermore, these issues seem to be relevant for both FB3 and FB4… interesting…
