Problems Resolved in Fix Pack 4

Users are now successfully logged out after closing or suspending a batch when using the ?batchid=[batchName] URL parameter to open a specific batch.

1827000: Table Fields are not shown at the expected location when the index fields are part of a group.

If the Use defined form layout setting on the Project Settings - General tab is not selected and there is a custom validation form defined, the order of the fields that appear in Thin Client Validation match the order defined in the custom validation form.

Document images are now loaded correctly, even when there is a slow network connection or a user presses Enter in quick succession.

1824074: Navigating to table having hidden columns and columnIndex of invalid cell is higher than visible column count is forcing logout.

Navigation in tables now accounts for hidden columns. As a result, users are no longer logged out when a hidden column is encountered.

1819326: Different issues when using tables having invisible columns

1. Cell position and highlighting is now cleared if you overwrite a cell using the Backspace key or by typing over the value.

2. f you select a cell to the right of an invisible column and then click on another element such as the Project Tree, typing now redirects to the originally selected cell.

3. Next Invalid Cell navigation now works correctly when a table includes hidden columns.

4. It is now possible to force a cell valid, even when a table includes hidden columns.

5. Lassoing a field saves the correct value to both the user interface and the XDoc.

Navigation now goes to the first invalid cell in a table when navigating between invalid tables when validating fields.

1813429: Use As Display Field in KTM synchronization issue - Display fields are visible only for first document.

Display fields are now visible for all documents.

1813121: Sticky notes content script is executed.

Sticky Note contents are now encoded. This means that script code can be added to a Sticky Note without being executed.

1805429: Option to hide verbose error message information

When invalid parameters are passed as part of an input object, a verbose error message is no longer part of the response.

Instead, a customized response object is returned with error code ‘652’ and ‘Invalid input parameters’ as the message.

Deleting all documents in a batch no longer causes issues closing a batch. The documents are successfully deleted, and the batch closes as expected.

1802817: Default buffer size too small for getting batch field values if there are lot of batches with long batch field values

When an error occurs due to a full buffer you are redirected to the log off page so that you can log on again.

If this occurs often, please contact your Administrator and ask them to increase the buffer size on the web server from 250000 to 1000000 (10mb) in the web.config as follows:

<binding name="Kofax.KTS.Backend.Capture.BindingConfiguration" maxReceivedMessageSize="10000000" maxBufferSize="10000000" sendTimeout="00:05:00" receiveTimeout="00:05:00"> <security mode="None"/> </binding>
