Autocomplete box closing when clicking on scrollbar in IE

I have a form with an autocomplete box, when you start typing the autocomplete list populates ok.  However if ?in Internet Explorer (IE) I click on the scrollbar to move list down the listbox closes.  I can scroll the list use the mouse wheel ok though, and this issue can't be replicated in Chrome or Firefox.  Just wondering if this is a WF5 issue or something to do with the HTML5 viewer in IE.

 

Note: the same workflow function built in the 'old' workflow designer works fine.

 

Cheers

  Chris,

   

  This is most likely an Internet Explorer issue.

   

  I don't know Latitude's stance on support for IE. Our experience is that Internet Explorer is not considered a viable "modern" web browser. Microsoft recently called IE a "Compatibility Solution".

   

  You see, Internet Explorer is a compatibility solution. We’re not supporting new web standards for it and, while many sites work fine, developers by and large just aren’t testing for Internet Explorer these days. They’re testing on modern browsers. So, if we continued our previous approach, you would end up in a scenario where, by optimizing for the things you have, you end up not being able to use new apps as they come out. As new apps are coming out with greater frequency, what we want to help you do is avoid having to miss out on a progressively larger portion of the web!

   

  We recommend to our clients to only use "modern" web browsers for Geocortex sites rather than try to shim all of IE's quirks.

  Hi Chris,

   

  While future releases of GVH will retain compatibility with IE 11, our newest web-based products will not. IE 11-specific Issues that cause major functionality problems will be looked at for fixes, but otherwise they are unlikely to be looked at unless necessary.

   

  Our online documentation on a product-by-product basis contains a listing of the supported browsers.

   

  Thanks, Stefan

  Thanks for the responses?. I figured that it would be a IE compatibility issue, but was hoping that there would be a css hack to fix it.

   

  Unfortunately our  IT policies force us to use IE, so for internal Viewers we have no option to use other Browsers .... believe me I don't use IE by choice!
