IJ42468: WHEN DRAGGING A NODE IN WORFLOW DESIGNER THE PAGE RESETS EVERY TIME THE NODE IS DROPPED ON THE CANVAS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• It is difficult to modify large workflow process due to its
  size when attempting to add
  and placee the new nodes to the workflow map.
  When you grab a node to add to a section of the workflow map
  that is not currently on screen, you need to drag the node to
  the bottom of the screen and/or left depending the direction you
  need to go on the map, notice at the extreme most point of the
  map in the browser, it does not move, you have to drop the node
  and manually scroll, scroll down and/or left as needed, to move
  the node, then repeat the drag and release of the node on the
  page. Each time this is done
  the mouse focus reverts to the top
  of the page and you now have to scroll again to locate the node
  before you can select it and move the node again. Once the node
  is moved
  the same process has to be repeated all over [as necessary].
  
  
  
  Steps to replicate:
  
  Log into Maximo as WILSON
  Go to the Workflow Designer application and find an existing
  workflow map that has the map extend beyond the current viewing
  area of the browser
  Duplicate the process
  On the duplicated process, grab a node, any node, and drag to
  the extreme most right and/or down direction of the current
  viewable canvas.
  
  Trying to move beyond the viewable area to parts of the
  map that are not currently visible does not cause the screen to
  scroll either left or down.
  You are required to drop the node at that point.
  Now scroll to the right-most or down-most point of the screen,
  keeping the node you just dropped in view.
  After you stop scrollingmanually, grab the node and move it to
  the right-most or down-most position
  of the current viewing area and then drop the node at the most
  extreme point of the visible area
  
  RESULTS: The screens browser resets from the current position to
  the top and left-most position of the map. The user has to
  scroll to find the last position where they dropped the node
  
  EXPECTED RESULTS: The screen should remain at the point where
  the node was last dropped to make it simple for the user to find
  the node and drag it to its final placement position
  .
