Object styles unexpectedly appearing on master page frames

[max_drawdown]

(FM11)

I created an object style to apply borders to screenshots that are integrated by reference. It works: the borders are the same on all screenshots.

I now notice that the object style is "applied" to text frames on the master pages of that chapter.

I do not recall applying the object style anywhere other than body pages.

What happened?

Did you save to MIF at any time? There were some odd behaviours in FM11 with the Object Styles that got exacerbated whenever MIF was involved. These appear to have been rectified in FM12. There were other phunnies as well, but the MIF was the nastiest.

@Arnis,

Thanks.

At any time -- before or after creation of the object style?

I don't recall exactly, but I think that's highly likely.

Where is the list of bugs fixed in FM12?

Best,

I think it happened after the Object Style was created and then went to MIF.

I don't think there is an official list of bugs fixed for the release. There are lists of fixes in each patch for a release though.

@Arnis,

(I just re-read your first reply.)

What were the "odd behaviours" _before_ MIF was involved?

IIRC,

• trying to get AsIs settings to behave properly across all options when defining or updating a tag was quite hit or miss
• if a graphic frame was rotated and an object style was applied to it, weird transformations took place
• renaming an object style didn't rename all styles that had the old name, but added a new one instead (compare that to the Paragraph Designer behaviour)
• using Clear All styles removed the attribute as well as the style tag from all tagged content

There were a few more smaller quirks, but I can't remember the details.
