HtmlFieldControl control losing edits

Question

Hi

Has anyone experienced loss of edits in TSWA 2010? The same edits using Visual Studio 2010 are not lost.

We are not on TFS 2010 SP1 by the way.

The field definition is:

 <FIELD name="Notes (SPBUK)" refname="SPBUK.Common.Notes" type="HTML">

and the control for it is:

<Control FieldName="SPBUK.Common.Notes" Type="HtmlFieldControl" Label="Useful notes and information:" LabelPosition="Top" />

Hello Amir,

As far as I know that TFS web access will not load the new added WIT automatically. Please try to reset the web access to see if it helps you: open the IIS manager and restart it.

Thanks.

Answer 3

Even applying TFS 2010 SP1 did not resolve the issue.

Could it be a an IE 8 issue?

Answer 4

It is an IE8 issue!!!

I tried the same edits in Chrome and none of the changes were lost!

I am running IE8 on Windows XP SP3. Are the TFS/IE teams aware of issues with Rich Text Box control for this combination?

Answer 5

Like Google Chrome, IE6 is OK too!

IE8 in compatibility mode doesn't work by the way.

Answer 10

We are uninstalling IE8 and going back to IE7 because the former has caused so many issues in the company I work for.
