[Roundup-users] Problem with long pulldown (Link) menu on Firefox and Chrome not fully populating

[Hancock, D. US P. S. I. (USP) <Dav...@co...>]

First, I apologize for asking about such an ancient version of the software. This is Roundup 1.5.0 with classic templates. It’s not my choice, though.

I’ve encountered a situation where Mac Safari displays a pulldown menu correctly, but Chrome and Firefox (also on Mac) do not. Chrome and Edge on Windows work correctly.

I’ve got a DB class called fbcustcomp in schema.py as a Link type, which is populated with slightly more than 100 company names. The .item.html file for this issue type has a table row:

<tr>
<th class="required" nowrap>Company</th>
<td tal:content="structure context/fbcustcomp/menu">fbcustcomp</td>
</tr>

In Mac Safari and Windows Chrome or Edge, the full list can be pulled down. In Mac Chrome or Firefox, the list is empty (“not selected”) on a new issue, and if an issue has been edited, there are exactly two items in the pulldown (“not selected” and whatever was saved in a browser where the pulldown works).

Most of the users are on Windows and Mac Safari works right, so this is not even close to an emergency. But if anyone has any thoughts about this issue, I’m all ears.

I’m also open to hearing “we haven’t got time to support a 15-year-old Roundup—get yourself current!” I’ve got it coming.

Cheers!
