Hi all. Recently I have updated my MikTeX installation and the packages as well, and the powerdot presentations that I created one year ago started to behave differently. In particular, the commands \onslide{3-}{body} do not leave the "body" displayed after jumping to next slide. I traced the problem back to use of babel package with the option "czech" (or "slovak"). (Thus, this might as well not be an issue with powerdot.) Nevertheless, if anybody has any suggestion I would be very greatfull. I use simple powerdot file: \documentclass{powerdot} \listfiles \usepackage[czech]{babel} \begin{document} \begin{slide}{What's wrong?} \onslide*{1-}{Line one} \onslide*{2-}{Line two} \onslide*{3-}{Line three} \end{slide} \end{document} \endinput The file listing: *File List* powerdot.cls 2005/12/06 v1.3 powerdot presentation class (HA,CE) xkeyval.sty 2008/08/13 v2.6a package option processing (HA) xkeyval.tex 2008/08/13 v2.6a key=value parser (HA) article.cls 2005/09/16 v1.4f Standard LaTeX document class size10.clo 2005/09/16 v1.4f Standard LaTeX file (size option) size11.clo 2005/09/16 v1.4f Standard LaTeX file (size option) geometry.sty 2002/07/08 v3.2 Page Geometry geometry.cfg hyperref.sty 2008/09/13 v6.78j Hypertext links for LaTeX ifpdf.sty 2007/12/12 v1.6 Provides the ifpdf switch (HO) ifvtex.sty 2007/09/09 v1.3 Switches for detecting VTeX and its modes (HO) ifxetex.sty 2006/08/21 v0.3 Provides ifxetex conditional hycolor.sty 2008/09/08 v1.4 Code for color options of hyperref/bookmark (HO ) xcolor-patch.sty 2008/09/08 xcolor patch pd1enc.def 2008/09/13 v6.78j Hyperref: PDFDocEncoding definition (HO) etexcmds.sty 2007/12/12 v1.2 Prefix for e-TeX command names (HO) infwarerr.sty 2007/09/09 v1.2 Providing info/warning/message (HO) hyperref.cfg 2002/06/06 v1.2 hyperref configuration of TeXLive kvoptions.sty 2007/10/18 v3.0 Keyval support for LaTeX options (HO) url.sty 2006/04/12 ver 3.3 Verb mode for urls, etc. bitset.sty 2007/09/28 v1.0 Data type bit set (HO) intcalc.sty 2007/09/27 v1.1 Expandable integer calculations (HO) bigintcalc.sty 2007/11/11 v1.1 Expandable big integer calculations (HO) pdftexcmds.sty 2007/12/12 v0.3 LuaTeX support for pdfTeX utility functions ( HO) kvsetkeys.sty 2007/09/29 v1.3 Key value parser with default handler support (HO) atbegshi.sty 2008/07/31 v1.9 At begin shipout hook (HO) hdvips.def 2008/09/13 v6.78j Hyperref driver for dvips pdfmark.def 2008/09/13 v6.78j Hyperref definitions for pdfmark specials graphicx.sty 1999/02/16 v1.0f Enhanced LaTeX Graphics (DPC,SPQR) graphics.sty 2006/02/20 v1.0o Standard LaTeX Graphics (DPC,SPQR) trig.sty 1999/03/16 v1.09 sin cos tan (DPC) graphics.cfg 2007/01/18 v1.5 graphics configuration of teTeX/TeXLive dvips.def 1999/02/16 v3.0i Driver-dependant file (DPC,SPQR) pstricks.sty 2008/01/24 v0.37 LaTeX wrapper for `PSTricks' (RN,HV) pstricks.tex 2008/07/31 v1.26 `PSTricks' (tvz) xcolor.sty 2007/01/21 v2.11 LaTeX color extensions (UK) color.cfg 2007/01/18 v1.5 color configuration of teTeX/TeXLive enumitem.sty 2007/06/30 v2.1 Customized lists verbatim.sty 2003/08/22 v1.5q LaTeX2e package for verbatim enhancements powerdot-default.sty 2005/12/06 v1.3 default style (HA) pifont.sty 2005/04/12 PSNFSS-v9.2a Pi font support (SPQR) upzd.fd 2001/06/04 font definitions for U/pzd. upsy.fd 2001/06/04 font definitions for U/psy. powerdot-default.ps Graphic file (type eps) babel.sty 2008/07/06 v3.8l The Babel package bblopts.cfg 2006/07/31 v1.0 MiKTeX 'babel' configuration czech.ldf 2008/07/06 v3.1a Czech support from the babel system nameref.sty 2007/05/29 v2.31 Cross-referencing by name of section refcount.sty 2008/08/11 v3.1 Data extraction from references (HO) *********** The results with and without the \usepackage{babel} command are attached. With babel, the powerdot produces some hyphens in front of individual rows and shows only the texts that should be displayed on the current overlay for the first time - the older texts vanish. Any idea? Thanks a lot, Petr
