PH16508: BROWSER GLITCHES WHEN SELECTING SOURCE FOR REPORT EXCEEDING 100 FOLDERS/PACKAGES

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Client raised an issue where - when scrolling through the list
  in order to select a source for a report, the browser will
  glitch when it reaches the end and tries to load the rest of the
  folders/packages. Reproduced in an 11.1.1 environment, noticed
  in 11.1.3 as well. Export/import deployment will reproduce in
  11.1.3.
  
  This is only reproducible IF an environment has a lot of
  folders/packages to scroll through. My particular setup has
  about 128 items to scroll through. When scrolling through the
  list, it will reach a midway point where Cognos would need to
  load the remaining items, it is during this time that a glitch
  occurs.
  
  Occurs in both IE and Google Chrome.
  
  Attached video showing this issue.
