Missing Buttons

I can’t recall if I’ve reported this and can’t find it here if I had so here is a new issue (that has been with 8.5 since B1 as far as I can tell):

I will be working in Firefox or IE or in TN3270 or some other application and will return to Notes to see this. When I click on any document the buttons reappear.

I’ve looked in both trace and log and found nothing around the time frame of this occurance.

Subject: when this happens…

  • is Notes busy (e.g. retrieving information from server / opening a large attachment etc)?- what does preview pane look like (does preview pane has similar issue - showing what’s “beneath” the Notes client)?

  • how long does this situation stays? Do the buttons come back eventually?

If Notes is busy, part of the client doesn’t repaint well - until Notes is ready again.

Let me know so I know if what you reported is related to Notes being busy. Thanks.

you asked:

  • is Notes busy (e.g. retrieving information from server / opening a large attachment etc)? not that I can tell

  • what does preview pane look like (does preview pane has similar issue - showing what’s “beneath” the Notes client)? I don’t have preview enabled

  • how long does this situation stays? Do the buttons come back eventually? it will stay until I click on any document in the view

If Notes is busy, part of the client doesn’t repaint well - until Notes is ready again.

Subject: have you double-checked the video drivers?

I only ask because I had some weird screen painting with 8.5.0 and when I upgraded to the latest video drivers for my laptop they went away.

Subject: Upgrade folder design?

Strange the buttons appear when you come back.

Can you try upgrading the folder design?

Actions → Folder → Upgrade folder design.

Subject: done

I’ve done that a few times and it has not resolved this issue.

thx
