Bug 1042815

Edit:
The problem explained above is more global than I initially thought - the same issue seems to be present for many other panel types. Few examples:

1) Showcase > Sales Report
 -> try sorting some column (panel contents change) after that it is impossible to sort by any other column

2) Showcase > Sales Report
 -> try drilldown using dashboard filter. When you select first value, the filter-by value is displayed above (panel contents chage) after that it is impossible to select another filter.

This basically prevents us from performing automated tests -> marking as blocker & setting severity to high (since IE has been given top priority)

Jan,

I've tried to reproduce this on EAP 6.1.1, with bpms ER5, in IE10, but all seems to work fine, at least with the default security configuration setting for internet. When switching to a high security setting for 'internet', it all just stops working, i.e. not even by refreshing the way you do in the video I can get things to work again.

Therefore I'm not sure if this is the correct way to reproduce the issue. Can you give me some more specifics on your environment? (jdk version, OS, IE security setting or other particulars, ... )

Thanks

Jan, you are right! The problem was really caused by the security settings of internet explorer 10 (IE). Because of me not having enough experience with UI testing on IE, i forgot to check those settings.

As you may know, QE currently does not have access to Windows 8 machines to test on, so I was debugging my tests with IE 10 on Windows Server 2012 which is probably the cause of different defaults in IE security settings.

For me the default security level for 'Internet' zone was set to High and I was unable to lower it. After some investigation I found, that I need to turn off 'Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration' accessible in system settings OUTSIDE of IE settings (along the lines of this article: http://imak47.wordpress.com/2011/01/25/how-to-change-the-internet-zone-security-level-from-high-to-medium-low-in-windows-server-2008/). After I turned the 'Internet Explorer Enhanced security configuration' off, as described in the article, the defaul security level for zone 'Internet' became 'medium-high' and the dashbuilder application started to work correctly.

I guess we can close the issue as NOTABUG, but some note needs to be added to the documentation. Something like: to make the dashbuilder application work correctly with internet explorer 10, you need to make sure, that the Internet Explorer security setting for zone Internet is set to at most middle-high.

Closed as it's not a bug.
