Thanks for the tip; we had to open an issue on this problem, and on the 
violently BLACK screen that now appears behind any pop-up or dialog in the 
mid-tier if using FFv13.  That is #SW00432310 according to BMC.  I wonder if 
Mozilla can be held liable for epileptic seizures or optical migraines induced 
by this new misbehavior?

We have a support ticket open on this as well. Our specialist tells me it's a 
CSS issue and how the CSS interacts with FFv13. Defect #SW00432406 logged for 
it.

Another note.
Once you are able to successfully downgrade to FFv12, don't forget to go into 
your FF option menu (Tools/Options/Advanced/Update) and change the Update 
option from automatic to Check and Notify Me or Never. If you don't, it will 
auto-update itself back to v13 in short order.

For those of you that can't downgrade to FFv12 due to company polices, etc., 
there is a workaround* that will let you use FFv13. See attached.

*No guarantees on the workaround and I cannot offer any more info on it. This 
came from BMC and I have not played with it or tested it personally.

Pardon my ignorance. I understand the issue being seen in the screenshot that 
was provided and rolling back to 12 seems to be the right work-around. I really 
appreciate the heads-up.

The question I have is this. What should the browser do if "you enter data that 
is one character longer than the data displayed in the field length"? It seems 
like text fields have always either wrapped text or added scroll bars when the 
data is larger than the field. Maybe I'm confusing text fields with character 
fields?

** Thanks David - and you are 100% correct. Reverting to Firefox 12 completely 
resolved the issue.

WARNING TO ALL - FIREFOX 13 Causes scroll bars to appear in char fields when 
you enter data that is one character longer than the data displayed in the 
field length.

Thanks,

I'm told FF 14 beta has the issue, too.

** Hi David - EXACTLY! FF13 is causing the issue.  I'm going to try to download 
FF 12 during the interim and see if that helps.

Thanks,

Firefox 13.0 was recently released, and that's where we're seeing it (image 
attached).  Is that what you're experiencing?

We are on ARS 7.5 patch 007, and were going to try patch 008 to see if it fixes 
it.

Subject: Scroll Bar randomly appearing in Character Fields on INC form

** Hello All,

7.6.04 SP2
Windows

Today we are having a very strange issue that I've never seen before in 7.6.04 
SP2. Scroll Bars are appearing randomly in the 'Summary' field on the Incident 
form... and in one other custom field we added on the INC form.
The only trend I've noticed is that if you enter data in that field... as soon 
as the data length exceeds the keystrokes DISPLAYED in the field, the scroll 
bar appears. Ex. Summary is a 0 length char field in our environment, but... 33 
chars are displayed in the field unless you expend the select box. When I add 
the 34th keystroke... BAM.. Scrollbar appears.... has anyone else seen this? I 
am beyond perplexed. I've flushed the web cache which seemed to help for a few 
mins, but then the issue returns immediately.
We've made no changes to these forms in months and this just started happening 
today. Thoughts? Ideas? Thanks in advance to all.

Thanks,

Jase
