[missing-sync-palmos-talk] BUG CONFIRMED - PALM DESKTOP 4.2.1 & TIGER

[Arkady]

P.S. THIS BUG HAS NOW BEEN CONFIRMED!

In front of my own eyes, at the Apple store, a genius downloaded and
installed Palm Desktop 4.2.1 on their Powerbook15, OS 10.4.1.

As soon as he clicked on Preview in Palm Desktop 4.2.1's Print Dialog Box,
Palm Desktop 4.2.1 Quit -- this EXACTLY what happens on my set up.

When we did it again, and instead of clicking on Preview in Palm Desktop
4.2.1's Print Dialog Box, the genius clicked on Print, and then on Preview,
we saw the Print Preview OK...

Oh well, unless someone know Terminal really well, and can suggest some
command line instructions, so that Palm Desktop 4.2.1's plays better with
Tiger, at least as far as Print Preview, we'll have to put up with this
annoyance...  

Please let us know if you are NOT having this bug on your Tiger, 10.4.1
System...

Other than that, PD is working FINE under Tiger...

---------
Have you seen this bug?!

PROBLEM: 
Application Palm Desktop 4.2.1 suddenly Quits every time when I Click on
Preview before Printing! But, when I click on Print, and then Preview before
Print, then I see the Preview, and Printing is OK from the that window...

I.e. I no longer can Preview before Printing. This happens in each of Palm
Desktop 4.2.1's Modules (Contacts, Memos, Calendar, To Do List).

Other than that, Palm Desktop 4.2.1 works fine, and syncs via HotSync to my
Tungsten T3 no problem under OS 10.4.1!

THIS IS WHAT I'VE TRIED:
Reinstalling Palm Desktop 4.2.1, Trashing it's Temp File and Prefs,
Deleting/Adding Printers, Repair Permissions and Restart - didn't help.
 
Other applications are Printing/Previewing OK.

This issue came up only after I've upgraded from OS 10.3.9 to the latest Mac
OS 10.4.1, with all latest Software Updates. I installed Tiger via Archive
and Install, and Preserving User Preferences.

WORKAROUND: 
To Preview before printing, I have to leave Palm Desktop 4.2.1, by choosing
Print, then Preview, and then either Cancel Print, and switch back to Palm
Desktop 4.2.1, or Print from Preview.

Has anyone seen this issue?!

I guess I'd need to go to Apple Store, install Palm Desktop 4.2.1 on one of
their machines and see if I can replicate this behavior.

If Palm Desktop 4.2.1 Quits there too, then it would impossible not to call
it a BUG! 

Unfortunately, PalmSource repeatedly stated that they will no longer update
Palm Desktop, and thus version 4.21 is supposedly the last one.

On other hand, PalmOne is aggressively marketing Treo 650 Smart Phone via
Wireless Carriers, and it comes with Palm Desktop 4.2.1 for Mac...

This is PATHETIC of PalmSource and PalmOne, which will finally re-unite,
only to do something similar to what Apple did (putting Mac OS on top of
Unix). The New Palm will put its Palm OS on top of Linux...

How do I know? I heard the interviews with their CEO's etc...

What a ZOO!!!!
