Applies to:
  • Content Studio all versions before 4.0 build 1002

Type: Information


Symptoms

After applying upgrading the Windows XP operating system to service pack 2 (Sp 2) many of the dialogs in Content Studio are cut off and in some cases parts of the dialog is difficult to reach.

Cause

Microsoft have added a status bar at the bottom of all pages that are shown as modal and modeless dialogs in Internet Explorer. Prior to Win XP Sp 2 this was an option that could be turned off but this is no longer true.

Resolution

This problem has been fixed in Content Studio retail version build 1002. There is no fix planned for Content Studio versions prior to the version 4.0 build 1002. Customers running older versions of Content Studio must either avoid installing Sp 2 or scrolling up/down in the affected dialogs or upgrade to version 4.0. Also it is possible to avoid the problem by adding the site in question to the Local intranet security zone.

Status


This is a well documented feature of Windows XP service pack 2 and has been dealt with in the version stated above.

More information

This is a part of the increased security in the operating system and in Internet Explorer and is a well documented feature of Windows XP service pack 2 and has been dealt with in the version stated above.
