Hello, I am completely stuck with this issue!
We have DSpace 1.4.2 running with german localization in place. We have made pretty few modifications. Since two month, two of our users complain that, while entering items to their collections, DSpace does not accept data in one particular Metadata field. We can reproduce this persistently on their client machines. We cant reproduce it at all on some other machines. When jumping to the next page in the browser and coming back immediately, using the buttons on the end of the page, all fields that were filled with data show their respective values with the exception of dc.identifier.other. They can publish the item with the data as is and add the dc.identifier.other field later on. This test was done while investigating the issue. We were able to see the row appear as expected in the metadatavalue database table while adding the field. This procedure cannot be seen as a permanent solution, because it is error-prone and tedious. Obviously, we checked their machines. They are using Firefox 3.6 on Windows XP. But the same thing happens when using Internet Explorer. We checked that JavaScript is enabled, Caches and Cookies are cleared and started the Browser in Safe mode. Nothing changed. The machines that are doing fine are Macs with Firefox 3.6. There are other users using Windows, but we did not ask whether they enter local signatures which go into this field, so we dont know whether all Windows clients exhibit this behaviour. I cant think of any special setting in the collections of the users in questions. They work in at least three separate collections. I have checked the values in their Metadata Templates. These templates dont contain a field associated with dc.identifier.other. Then, we went through our input-forms.xml and Messages_de.properties including loading them into a texteditor that displays invisibles such as tabs and other whitespaces to make sure, we dont encounter some obscure parsing problem. We dont have localized JSPs under jsp/local/submit besides initial-questions.jsp and choose-file.jsp. In initial-questions, we removed the nowrap attribute because localized texts are too long and in choose-file we commented out a link. What to do next?
