I have received a defect report against my Web Dynpro application that I believe is due to a bug in the Web Dynpro renderer. I would appreciate any help the user community might provide.
In the application a DropDownByKey control is used to display the list of selections to the user. Normally, this control is rendered such that the font in the drop down list is the same as that used when the control is not dropped down (closed).
On one of our portals there exists what I consider to be a bug in the SAP Web Dynpro renderer: A very large font is used to render the drop down list. The size of the drop down box is apparently computed using the correct font size, the effect being that some of the entries are clipped off the bottom of the list. No scroll bar is displayed
This leads the user to assume that some of the expected entries are not in the list.
If the user is aware of the problem, he can work around it by using the down arrow key on the keyboard rather than using the mouse to drop down the list and select from it.
I have seen this problem intermittently on some of our other J2EE engines. When I have seen this before, simply closing the drop down list and dropping it down again, the list would then render correctly. This makes me believe this is a bug in the SAP renderer.
I would appreciate any help or insight.
Thanks in advance,
Kelly
P.S. I have screen captures that illustrate the problem. If you e-mail me at
kelly.mulheren at ngc dot com, I can send them to you.
P.P.S. I don't have the software version numbers handy but can provide them if need by. We're running pretty recent 2004s, though.
