For a lack of a better place to turn to, here's my problem with the
bugreport site and pdf preview:
When I enter my ADC login and password at the "AppleConnect" prompt, the
login procedure seems to start but then dumps me back to the same screen
again. Repeated attempts do not convince the backend that I'm serious
about my bug report. (I'm using IE of 10.1)
There's no indication that my password is wrong, and I've confirmed that
it works with the normal ADC site. It is the ADC login that the
bugreporter requires, right?
To make this more on-topic, here's my actual bug:
I managed to create a pdf document (with TeXShop if it matters, the
author is aware of this) that causes my login session to crash when the
document is displayed in a pdf widget like TeXShop or the Preview.app
use. By crashing my login session I mean that I get logged out, losing
all changes in other programs, and am presented with the login screen.
On top of that logging in again without reboot does not work. This is
especially fatal if auto login is set - the system goes into a
login/crash cycle that can only be ended by a hard reset. This is in
10.1.
I should note that Acrobat Reader can display the pdf fine, as could the
Preview app of 10.0.4 and consequently TeXShop's preview widget.
I'm not sure if this is Cocoa or CG related but in any case it seems to
be a problem with some framework. The author of TeXShop told me he had
reports of this in the past (10.0.x) and had talked to someone at Apple
about it but at that time it was not reproducible. Well, it is now, and
I'm happy to provide someone at Apple with my killer pdf ;-)
