Webmail Attachment Window disappears in PWB V3.0.5.4

Post by Rockhard »

We currently are running PWB V 3.0.5.4 and users view Webmail on this.

However when they view in a CEF Tab, when they go to create a new email, and then add an attachment, the attachment popup windows comes up and then disappears within a second.

If we open an IE Tab, and try to do the same thing it seems to work fine.

One thing I did notice was when we access Webmail from the IE Tab and create a new email, a new PWB with basic shellbar comes up (forward, back, Home). When you open a new email on the CEF Tab, a new window comes up but there is no shellbar across the top.

Any help?

If you try the site with an unedited INI file do you see the issue?

Do you see the issue with PWB 3.05.5 available on the Beta page?

I tested using the 3.0.5.5 BETA PWB, with default settings (no configurations on my part).

Still getting the same issue. the Attachment box pops up for a split second and then disappears.

looks like this may be an issue with Chrome. So if I force webmail to open in the IE Tab using IECompat it may work.

However the IE Tab does not allow for spellchecking. Is there a way to allow this?

Add the following to the Windows Registry to enable spell checking.

Code: Select all

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (or HKEY_CURRENT_USER)
   SOFTWARE
      Microsoft
         Internet Explorer
            Main
               FeatureControl
                  FEATURE_SPELLCHECKING
                     PWB.exe = (DWORD) 00000001

We are running PWB on our machines for public use. As far as I know it is installed on the clients and fetches the settings from a server. So the problem is the PWB when it loads yahoo mail it comes up with the whole upgrade your browser thing. You can by-pass this but then it does not enable the attachment Icon for yahoo mail not even loaded in to the screen. Any ideas

What version of PWB are you using including the minor revision number, for example "PWB v3.05.9 (CEF)"?
