In .Net it always stopped you from entering more characters than allowed – seems like the Remedy should do likewise.

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,

Jase

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.

** 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
