[moregroupware-user] re: Problem with the "webmail" module

[Jim B. <ji...@ba...>]

Vikki,

That's what I'm suspecting, but I simply can't narrow it down. I tried it on a PC
at home as well as at work. Both are running Windows XP Professional with the
latest Microsoft updates with the latest build of IE. Both PCs were setup
separatly, so actual configuration is different.

The strange thing is that it's not consistent or predictable. It's almost as
though occasionally, things aren't loading in the right order or something. On
occasion, I get an IE error in the lower left corner of the status bar stating
that the page has errors. Opening the details revelas that it can't find the
"top.rightwindow" or something like that which leads me to believe that there is
a "disconnect" somewhere among the frames/windows. 

Sometimes, I open a different "page" of messages (scroll the list of messages
down and select something like "21-30") and then things work fine. But sometimes
they don't.  Unfortunatly, this instability is very frustrating. I thought I had
a winner in moregroupware, but now, I have to re-think things. I'm definitely not
slamming moregroupware because the problem is most likely in IE, but it's
frustrating non the less...

I spent about three hours last night trying different settings in both
moregroupware and in IE, but it didn't really change anything.

The best suggestion given to me so far was to go into "Settings > Appearance" and
change the menu style to the "basic" style. While this seemed to improve the
issue significantly, a nasty side-effect of this setting is that the resulting
screen is just larger than my 1024X768 window can view, and there is no scroll
bar on the far right to scroll the entire window. The result is that though I can
see everything, the logout button is just off the page. It is "clickable" but
only the top several pixels are actually viewable.

Another example of very strange behavior is when I view a message in the preview
window, there is a small "open book" icon. This is normal. But when I click on
the icon, a new window opens that is simply a complete duplicate of the full
moregroupware screen that was already open. In THAT new window, things seem to
function fine. Very strange.

Does anyone know how I can get these functions working again? The only
