Goofy ERW issue

[Frosty the Coder]

I was coding a UBE that had been working,
both in preview & from versions.

I then received an error when running from versions.
(Version has caused an exception, system unstable...)

I logged out/back on.
When coming back on, I was prompted for an update pkg.
I _THOUGHT_ that I selected it.

I went back into OMW and tried running from versions,
and when it completed the pdf looks as though the
characters per inch has been reduced (s p r e a d i n g
t h e f i e l d s o u t l i k e t h i s)
and also causing them to run into each other.

I went back into design and tried preview and it all
looked great. I went back, created a NEW version
and got the same goofy spacing.

Now, when I try to make a mod & run preview,
I may, or may not get an error. Same thing
when running from versions, it might/might not error.
When it DOES run from versions, I still have the
spacing issue.

When it DOES run from preview it looks great.

When it errors from preview, it logs:
"--UBE--[0]-- UBE0000084 ERROR: Function: PDFLib_Initialize, Code: 1074397185, Message: A file error has occurred.
--UBE--[0]-- Unable to initialize" as the last entry
in jdedebug.

I've signed off/on numerous times, done numerous
check in/outs, etc.

Once, when signing back on, I was prompted for the
same update pkg and declined it. Now, it doesn't
prompt me for it.

I'm guessing that the update pkg, and me having
had it checked out when first prompted this pkg,
is the root cause of the issue.

I'm hoping that getting reprompted for the declined
pkg, and accepting that pkg, will resolve it.
How do I get reprompted for a declined pkg?

Any other ideas about my game of "WTF" (What's that font)
are welcome.

TIA
