Stanza 1.4 - alignment settings no longer take effect
Mon, 09/22/2008 - 08:47 — mistertumbles
Just logging a quick bug report: after updating from Stanza 1.3 to 1.4 on my iPod Touch (Software version 2.1), the Text Alignment options as applied from inside a document no longer have any effect. Paragraphs always render as justified, regardless of which option is actually selected -- right, left, center. All other text options -- font, color, line spacing, margins, etc. -- still work as intended. I've tested this out on a number of texts that were rendering correctly in 1.3, just to make sure it wasn't a single misbehaving document.
That said, of course, the app is amazing -- thanks for all your hard work! Stanza gets more use on my handheld than all the other installed apps combined.

Text alignment
I am using Stanza 1.5 for ipod touch and Stanza 1.0 beta 13 on the desktop. I noticed that I was having the same problem as the others in this thread. I recently found a way to get justification working on my ipod touch. If you clear the "Full Justification" check mark on the View menu of the Desktop before you sync the book to the ipod touch justification will now work properly.
Follow-up
After more testing, this issue was reproducible on my end with any document, including the built-in Stanza manual. (I ended up testing about 20 different documents, ranging from a couple of pages to Dickensian in length.)
Deleting the app from the iPod Touch entirely and reinstalling has ended up resolving this issue, though. Not sure how settings and preferences are stored on iPhone/Touch apps, but one seems to have gotten irreparably stuck in this particular case.
Anyway, thanks for the response and thanks again for the incredibly useful app!
Alignment changes have no
Alignment changes have no effect on my iPod touch 2G either. I am using Stanza 1.4. This is the first version of Stanza I have installed so the problem, in my case, seems not be due to an update. Using beta 13 Build #1:375 on my Mac.
Thanks for the additional
Thanks for the additional information; we weren't able to reproduce it because it appears to only happen on an upgrade from an earlier release. We will investigate the problem, and we expect to have a solution in time for the next release.
I am not able to reproduce
I am not able to reproduce this on Stanza 1.4. Do you experience this with more than one book? If you try with the built-in Stanza manual, are you also unable to un-justify the text?
Same problem
I have the same problem with alignment, but only for books in Russian (cyrillic font). The Stanza Manual and "The Time Machine" are formated correctly, according to my alignment setting. However, nothing helps for the books I'm actually reading: they are all always justified. I've tried to re-install both iPhone and desktop Stanza, to re-import the books, to use different original formats, to re-boot iPhone, etc.
Alignment
I've got this problem too. Since I upgraded to 1.4 all my books are justified even though I have left selected and it won't change.
I've tried deleting and re-loading Stanza but it still doesn't work. All formats of books are affected, new downloads are only justified as well.
I've just tried the built-in manual and it's fine, left justified as I've selected, changing it to justified and back again works too.
I too have the problem. Only
I too have the problem. Only with books synced since the .4 update previously loaded books behave correctly.
