I have observed a problem with SmartClient applications (including the SmartClient ShowCase) running in Chrome v83.0.4103.77 on Chrome OS and wondered if anyone else had observed this same behavior.
I have tried on two different makes & models of Chromebook, have disabled all extensions and tried in both guest and incognito modes. This problem does not occur in Chrome v83.0.4103.97 running on Windows 10. I assume it is a Chrome issue, but thought you would be interested if you are anticipating providing support to Chrome OS users. It is probably worth me mentioning that all was working well until my Chromebooks updated to v83.0.4103.77 within the last week or so.
The problem is most easily observed by navigating to the SmartClient ShowCase and attempting to navigate around it using mouse or touchpad. The only controls that can be clicked on and expected to function as intended are the search text items and the link buttons in the right pane. The tree in the left pane can be scrolled, but can not be collapsed or any of the options selected. Similarly, none of the filter checkboxes respond to being clicked and none of the examples are highlighted in the tile grid when hovering or selected when clicking.
It is possible to navigate to some degree using the keyboard (at least in this way the filter checkboxes can be selected and de-selected and the number of examples slider modified). However, I still cannot reliably determine how to select an example.
The SmartClient Reference, and indeed our own applications, are suffering in the same way.
Thanks for any comments or insight that might be offered.
