    Text changes location in same file between PC and Mac, fla and swf

    I am adding this post to the bugs list as it received no replies but I am starting to get emails from people reporting that they are having this same problem and asking if I have found a solution which I have not.

    working with CS4. when I am at the office I am working on a PC (windows XP).
    When I go home and work on the same file I am using CS4 on a mac OS 10.5.

    It started with a long line of text I had set in a long narrow background bar. I would notice it appeared too high so I would move it down. Then I would find myself moving it up.

    I did this a few times thinking I must have just nudged it by mistake. Then I realized something was going on. Last night at home on the mac, I spent quite a while laying out many static text boxes perfectly on an 18 pixel vertical grid.
    Today I opened that file at work and all off the text sat exactly 3 pixels below the grid line.

    It is the exact same file, both machines have the exact same font files.

    has anyone seen this?

    It is not just in the design environment.
    It displays differently when I test the movie, play the swf, or view it in a browser.
    The swf made on my PC shows the text lower. Open the same file and export to swf on mac and the text is higher.

    obviously it is a little difficult to clearly explain such a visual problem in words.
    So I have put up a page with an explanation and screen captures of the same file done on PC and mac. That should make things pretty clear.

    I do not really expect anyone to fix this, it seems like a bug.
