Error description
In IBM Process Portal, when you open a task in the Work tab a new window opens to display the coach if the <launch-in-new-window-enabled> configuration option is set to true. When the new window opens, you might notice that "about:blank" appears in the address bar until the coach is loaded.

Local fix
Problem summary
When a task is opened in a new window, an empty iFrame must be loaded immediately in the new window to account for the possibility of the browser pop-up blocker being enabled.
Problem conclusion
A fix will be available in IBM BPM V8.5.7 cumulative fix 2016.12 that adds a new configuration option. When set to true, this option defers loading the iFrame so "about:blank" does not appear in the address bar. This setting requires the browser's pop-up blocker to be disabled or to allow pop-ups for Process Portal. To determine whether the cumulative fix is available and download it if it is, complete the following steps on Fix Central (https://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral): 1. On the Select product tab, select WebSphere as the product group, IBM Business Process Manager with your edition from the WebSphere options, All as the installed version, and All as the platform, and then click Continue. 2. In the Text field, enter "cumulative fix?, and click Continue.
