Problems in Firefox 18

[martintaal]

Even with latest 11-Jan nightly build, Smartclient 8.3p is plenty of issues the first time is opened using Firefox 18.

Some of them (but I am pretty sure that this is just just the tip of the icebers):

#windowAutosize : the first time is loaded (with clean cache), the top left icon of each window is not visible
#closeableTabs : the first time is loaded (with clean cache), the tabs have some gap, once you hover with the mouse, the space is removed
#windowFooter : the first time is loaded (with clean cache), the bottom footer is quite big
#gridComponents : the first time is loaded (with clean cache), the bottom footer is quite big
...

Thanks for the notification.
These rendering issues are all symptoms of the same underlying cause, which we believe we have now addressed.
Please try the next nightly build (dated Jan 12 or greater).
The fix will apply to the following branches:

SmartClient: 8.1p, 8.2p, 8.3p, 9.0d
SmartGWT: 2.5p, 3.0p, 3.1p, 4.0d

I have been trying 12-Jan 8.3p nightly build and now there are some things worse than before.

Fast example:

#simpleCalendar
Notice that the "simpleCalendar" "calendar" and "eventData" tabs are wrong
Notice that calendar controls are wrong

It seems that the root problem is related to the layout members width/position maths.

I have also been observing this behaviour even with version Version v8.3p_2013-01-14 (2013-01-14).

I have same issue with nighty build 3.0p 14 jan 2013. can you please suggest a temporarily fix for this problem or please let me know when you will fix this issue?

Thank you

Our temporary fix ... Turn OFF auto-updates in Firefox and wait a little longer for things to stabilize ... FF 18 got released only 6 days ago!

Thanks for the additional information. We are investigating the issue reported and will follow up when we have more information.

A quick update to let you know we have made some changes to mitigate many of the rendering issues in Firefox 18.
Things should look significantly better in the Jan 16th nightly.
(8.3p/3.1p, 8.2p/3.0p and 8.1p/2.5p branches).

We are aware that there are still rendering issues with some components and will continue to work on them over the next few days. We will follow up again as we make progress, but please feel free to try the next nightly build and let us know if there are any specific issues you're encountering so we can be sure they don't get missed.

Got the problems for
IButton
setAutoSize(true);
setHeight(20);

This is expected to fix it as well ?

Please try the next nightly build, dated Jan 18
We believe these issues (including the breakage of closeable tabs) are now resolved

If you are still seeing rendering, or other problems, please let us know, and rest assured we will do our best to resolve things very rapidly.
