@ LJ : That’s what I try to do too. I wasn’t here with this company at the time 
that this problem was reported so – again to BMC Supports credit, here is the 
history.. They were willing to keep the ticket open. Its our users that were 
not being very responsive when BMC Support was available to check out the 
problem. Our administrators (after a period of over 4 weeks) getting tired of 
waiting for our users to respond and be available for the problem to be 
evaluated by BMC, asked BMC to close the ticket.. That is what I just heard 
when I asked about the history of this problem here at this site. So I was 
wrong when I assumed that it was BMC that closed the ticket.. It wasn’t them.

@ Jose: I agree with you Jose.. If this seems to be as common a problem as it 
appears to be where I got a accurate solution from this list in under 5 minutes 
or so from reporting it to you’ll, then they should have encounter this problem 
in their tests where a tool like Google Toolbar is common in many environments 
these days. By now there should have been a fix to it and not the workaround of 
having to disable the toolbar. And its not even documented as a known problem 
which should have been a start to begin the whole process with.. That toolbar 
could probably be a useful tool to some..

While I agree with and understand their position…I feel that it’s very short 
sighted of them.  I’ve had problems in my environment that come to me because 
the user is using my application while it occurs…but just because it’s not my 
application’s fault it’s happening, I still consider it my responsibility to 
fix it because my application is affected by the problem….it’s in my best 
interest to fix it or the company could decide ‘there are too many problems 
with that app, lets replace it’….

To their credit, it wasn’t any of their applications problem :-). Its what they 
claimed when they closed the ticket saying they have ruled out everything from 
the application end and it has nothing to do with their application and we 
would need to check our environment – which in a way, in this case turned out 
to be true..

 

The faster response time on this list is what made it my favorite resource over 
these years ..

** And them my though... BMC closed the case because they couldn't find the 
root cause. In one hour a lot of people guided you in the right direction. But 
BMC's support team wasn't able to solve it....

Initially I thought it was pop-up blockers too – but considering it wasn’t a 
popup but a new window I had my doubts... It was the plugins as Axton and Pat 
pointed out..

 

Thank you all for sharing your thoughts & experiences.. Appreciate it..

 

Learnt one more thing today!

Ok….trying to help you with this….

 

Ctrl-Click in IE gives you an ‘open in new tab’ functionality 
‘explicitly’…..so….based on other comments, it does sound like it may be a 
popup blocker of some sort that’s killing the window…I know several toolbars 
have that ability….any toolbars installed?

Yup...

 

List of things already done..

1) Cache cleared on local browsers

2) Compared browsers Advanced Settings

3) Compared other browser settings (pop ups, security, etc.)

4) Checked the PC’s Event Viewer for any possible errors and found none.

 

Everything seems to check out..

Joe,

I’m assuming that you have done a cache clear and such on the affected machines 
and no difference?

Subject: Strange behavior - Mid Tier related..

 

** 

We are on ARS 7.6.03 (Mid-Tier of the same version) and basically an all round 
windows shop.. The IE versions on our clients is 7.0.5730.13.

 

This happens on only a few of our clients and we haven’t able to isolate the 
difference that may be causing this problem. Strictly speaking, all of our 
clients are supposed to be identical in terms of versions, settings etc. There 
shouldn’t really be a difference on any of them.

 

However on some of the clients, when the user double clicks on an entry from 
the Overview Console, the new window opens only for a brief fraction of a 
second and shuts down. There is no error or warning on why it shuts itself down 
– it just does. There is nothing written to the event log. However on the 
clients that this behavior manifests, if the user holds down the CTRL key and 
then double clicks the entry, the new window opens and stays open – no 
problems..

 

Any of you’ll have experienced this and found a fix for it?

 

Apparently we had opened a ticket with BMC Support, who could not find a fix 
for this as they were not able to get to the cause of the problem and that 
ticket was closed unresolved.

 

Joe
