Re: Strange cursor behaviour in Webforms

Hello,

After searching Metalink and getting a support person from Oracle Netherlands on the subject, we found that it has to do with navigating to a tabbed canves and doing a GO_ITEM or GO_BLOCK. Though this is supposedly supported (it works in Client/Server mode) it reacts kinda funny in Webforms.

Oracle says the're working on it, but no solution yet (hope we kan pursuade our client to work Client/Server in the meantime, or else we're loosing out big time)

Thanks for thinking with us
