[fix] 413642 window title is not set on firstShow

Jan, are you sure about this one? It doesn’t seem to work in Servoy 6.0.1.

Cheers,

Just tried the case sample in 6.0.1 and it seems fine to me, what exactly is not working well?

My mistake. The sample works fine and after checking my code I found the reason why the title was not set.
Sorry :)

Hello,

It seems that the Browse button when importing a solution is not working anymore, it flashes a couple of times
but no file dialog is shown.

Hi Peter,

Perhaps your problem is related to this thread?
http://forum.servoy.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=16352

Some users reported an issue with the smartclient.
If you run in the same problems (log window might report ClassNotFoundException), you should use this http plugin jnlp file:
http://downloads.servoy.com/downloads/bean_plugin/http.jar.jnlp (Tip: use “save as”)

Via Application Server admin-page use “upload library” for plugins to replace the file.

Since the update to 6.0.1 i have a problem with some comboboxes in Smart Client.

[attachment=0]combobox.jpg[/attachment]

The problem occurs only the first time the dropdown is opened the second time it’s correct.
Can I do somthinc against that?

@JonPaul
I have seen the same effect.
The first time a combobox drops down the width is calculated very wide but only one part of the display is shown in the centre. The second time the same width shows the complete display (two parts in my case).
Sorry no image at his time to help explain.

the combobox popup problem will be fixed in 6.0.2

Has somebody tested tooltips with servoy 6.0.1 (webclient) in IE7 and IE8?
At the moment a tooltip should be shown, a script error is shown in the status bar. I already submitted a case about this problem.

Hi Norbert,

we just fixed this issue, and it will be in next release

Hi Gabi,
Any idea when the release is scheduled? We are really eager to get this update as we have to block (cancel) the migration to Servoy 6 as long as we haven’t tested the fix.
We ran into other problems too and we think that this is related to the tooltip issue, however we are not sure as long as we don’t have the update.
Thanks,
Norbert

the problem with tooltips is only on versions of IE lower then 9,
so you can check if that is related to the others issues, if you run with IE9,
where the tooltips should work just fine

The problem is that 100% of our customers run on IE7. We have seen multiple differences between IE7 and IE8/9 so we
want to perform all of our migration tests on IE7. Until then, we cannot make the decision to switch to Servoy 6, which
we really want to because of the nice new features of Servoy6.
