Building a pretty basic form for the Notes client, and it has a layer at the top. The layer itself does not ever hide. Inside the layer there are 2 lines of text. First line is just text, but does have some formatting (italic). This line is hidden when doc is not new (!@IsNewDoc). Second line is some text and a computed text field. Value of the computed text is just the value in a field on the form. This line is hidden when the doc is new (@IsNewDoc). Below the layer are all the regular fields and tables making up the form.
PROBLEM: When the hide-whens are turned on for the 2 lines of text inside my layer, you cannot get the cursor to focus on any field on the form, except for a date type field which you can get the calendar pop-up to show and a value will populate the field. So, when you create a new doc using this form, you cannot fill in ANY field.
Yes, the form is in edit mode.
Yes, you can see the picture frames around fields.
No, the computed text does not impact this behavior (tried with and without).
I have tried and verified different field types and only date type fields allow focus, and only on the calendar picker.
If I turn off the hide-whens inside the layer, everything behaves as it should.
Very bizarre!
While I have many ways to get around the situation that I am facing right now, I can repeat this behavior in this application (in a test form).
Wondering if anyone else has seen this issue with layers and hide-whens, and if there is any workaround or fix?
p.s. My solution: I left the computed text in my layer and took away the hide-whens, and just put my logic for what to show when in the computed text formula.
