Did you “see logs for more details” ? What do they say ?

It’s a known issue stemming from our use of JXBrowser. We’re actively waiting on a fix from them, but their last several releases have resolved _this_ issue but introduced a number of equally serious issues in other places. Until we can identify a desirable build from them we can’t do anything about this.

I feel like I have to ask...is this bringing up any concerns within IA about continuing to rely on JXBrowser? I am completely naive to the complexities of embedded browsers and the other options that are available, so feel free to tell me that this question is absurd! It's just when I see something like this where a fairly severe bug has had to be left in production for over a year due to too many other severe bugs in newer releases...I start to worry this will become an ongoing theme.

I don't think this is an absurd question. The answer is just that there is no other option. Our wagon is hitched.
