Good question.. IE 9.0.8112.16421

C:\Users\jdsouza>java -version
java version "1.7.0_03"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_03-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 22.1-b02, mixed mode, sharing)

No patch on any of our ARS or ITSM apps.

Mind you, I had resized the columns on the browser - NOT on the AR Development studio... so it was a resized locally on the client...

Subject: Re: Extremely strange bug related to table field refresh..

Hi,

Which browsers have you tested?

       Best Regards - Misi, RRR AB, http://rrr.se


I am on ARS 7.6.03. And I just found what got to be one of the most
bizarre bugs I have uncovered in the past few days.. There may not be a
short way to describe this problem so here goes..

I have tested this bug on the Overview Console, of the ITSM applications
(7.6.03 again), so that table field would be the ideal candidate if you
want to reproduce it. I have only tested this on the Mid-Tier client.

Lets say for example sake, there are 4 entries displayed on the table
field on the Overview Console..

INC000000000001
INC000000000002
INC000000000003
INC000000000004

Lets say I double click on INC000000000003 to open it and mark that
incident as Resolved.

And when I get back to that overview console, I either right click on that
table field and select Refresh OR I press the Refresh button on top of the
overview console table to refresh the table field..

Expected Results:
The table field refreshes and now you are left with
INC000000000001
INC000000000002
INC000000000004

Great.. works as expected.

The Bug:
UNLESS, prior to double clicking on INC000000000003, the columns on the
table field are resized.. I had resized almost all the columns from the
mid-tier client, and then double clicked on INC000000000003 to open it. I
then marked that incident as Resolved and closed that window after saving
it. And then refreshed the table field on the Overview Console. All the
previous 4 entries are still displayed as below..

INC000000000001
INC000000000002
INC000000000003
INC000000000004

HOWEVER, now when I double click on INC000000000003, the details of
INC000000000004 is displayed on the new opened window..

AND if I click on INC000000000004, I get a null pointer exception...

This happens when I resize the table fields widths on the mid-tier
client..

I haven’t tested this on the native User client but I think from past
experience, it has no problems.. I’m pretty certain it works as expected
on the User Client under both the circumstances described above...

Joe

PS: Could someone verify if this bug still exists on 7.6.04 or if it
exists on earlier versions?

Another PS: This could be a potentially serious bug – I nearly closed the
wrong ticket in a real world scenario. It’s a good thing I saw the ticket
details before closing it, else if I had mechanically gone through the
motions, I may have closed a wrong ticket.. What happened was after double
clicking on INC000000000003, and seeing the status still on Pending, I
thought maybe I had forgotten to save. So I tried to set it on Resolved
and just before committing a save, noticed that it was not INC000000000003
but INC000000000004 that was opened up.. I would have accidentally ended
up closing INC000000000004 too..
