Browser Window Minimizes when Links are Clicked
Posted: Thu Jul 28, 2011 9:40 am
I have just finished a migration of a client's software to a new server, and a strange bug started occuring.
When a user opens Internet Explorer, They log into the website, and the browser window immediately disappears. It is listed in the application bar at the bottom of the screen, but it is not minimized. The browser has moved behind all other open windows.
When you click on the browser in the application bar at the bottom of the screen, it still acts as though it is the current window. By that I mean that instead of bringing it to the front, it then minimizes, upon clicking a second time, it is now the current window, and I am free to click another link, just to start the process all over again.
From what I can tell, the issue only occurs in Internet Explorer which is the client's preferred browser (I know... try to get him to change, but let's suppose that isn't possible.).
My fix so far has been to open a second tab in Internet Explorer. By having the second tab open (doesn't have to be on a webpage), the issue goes away until I close that tab.
Why is this posted in a JavaScript forum? When I disable Active Scripting from the Tools menu, this bug goes away, but this is not a workable solution either.
Has anyone come across this? I have done some searches, but haven't come up with much. Perhaps it is in how I am searching...
Any help is greatly appreciated!
