Description

The problem has been present since 8.0, but was exacerbated by recent changes in support of Shift JIS. It deals specifically with the issues listed below under Issues Addressed with this Patch.

Issues Addressed with this patch

  • NIM095013 – Opening a shapefile crashes the application.
  • NIM097252 - Asking for the extent of a 10.x fileGDB or SDE feature class after copy and paste returns none even if features exist.
