PH41251: UNABLE TO DRAG AND DROP CONTENT IN AN EXPRESSION DEFINITION AT THE DESIRED POSITION WITH FIREFOX

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When we want to drag a data element from the available
  components into the expression editor of a data item or a detail
  filter, we?re unable to drop it at the desired position. We try
  to drop the respective element at the shown cursor position: The
  moment we are at the desired position with the mouse, the cursor
  jumps to a completely different arbitrary position in the data
  item or detail filter. There we could drop the data element, but
  this is not helpful.
  As a workaround, we first place the cursor at the desired
  position and the double-click on the element in the available
  components. Nevertheless, this is a limitation for our bank
  users and should be corrected.
