Question

Oddball style issue in RH10 prevents generating a project

So I was attempting to generate the primary layout (webHelp) for a project, but nothing was happening. I then noticed that when I opened a dropdown in the last topic I worked on, the style indicator on the tool bar started changing back and forth between the actual style applied and the default Normal style. I've never encountered this before--has anyone else? Changing the style seems to have no effect.

SSL settings appear identical. I started a new project and imported the existing topics into it, which fixed things until I tried to bring over baggage files. Will see if I can reproduce.

I've seen the flickering before. But I haven't heard about it blocking creating an output. Do other outputs still work you.

Good question. I haven't needed them so I haven't checked, but I will. I should note: this behavior seems to be connected to particular projects.

I went to a different iteration of the project without the blinking issue. I'm having a general issue there with generation: I can only do it from the Properties popup via the Save and Generate button--the button on the toolbar does nothing. Of more concern--I attempted to add a topic, then import a topic. Both show up in the fpj but neither shows in WebHelp output (or printed doc, or CHM). Only when I put it in the Table of Contents will RH generate it in output--unfortunately it's a file we want to be accessible only via links from other topics.

At the same time, if I attempt to drag-and-drop move the file within Project Manager, it doesn't show until I close RH and reopen it--which is a job in itself, since I have to go to Task Manager to actually close RH these days. It will happily sit for hours after I try to close it via the menu, alt-f4, the taskbar, etc.

So perhaps I should change the title of the issue to: Anyone know an exorcist?
