Technote Number: 1232216
Problem:
This behavior occurs only with the Internet Explorer browser. DWA does not use
the ActiveX control in the Mozilla or Firefox browsers, so those browsers are
not impacted by this Microsoft update.
This issue was reported to Quality Engineering as SPR# JACE6MV325, and was
fixed in DWA 6.5.6.
Excerpt from the Lotus Notes and Domino Release 6.5.6 MR fix list (available at
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus):
Editor
SPR# JACE6MV325 - Fixed a problem that DHTML editing control needs to be
clicked to activate with Microsoft patch KB912945. See details here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/overvie
w/activating_activex.asp
The Microsoft update not only affects Domino Web Access, but any web
page/application that uses ActiveX controls.
For information about this Microsoft update please refer to Article 912945 on
the Microsoft.com site: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912945/en-us
Additional Information:
In anticipation of Microsoft's change to the behavior of ActiveX controls,
changes were made to Forms6.nsf in 6.0.4, 6.5.2 and 7.0 to avoid the issue
during uploading of attachments. However, in DWA 6.5.2 - 6.5.5 and 6.0.4 -
6.0.5, the "extra click" problem occurs when editing text, and a further change
will be made to 6.5.6 for use of the native Internet Explorer rich text ActiveX
control.
In DWA 7.0 for forms7.nsf, we changed the architecture to not use the native
Internet Explorer rich text ActiveX control, so the problem will no longer
occur. These changes made to DWA 7.0 will also be included in DWA 6.5.6.
Microsoft plans to include update KB 912945 in the April cumulative security
update for Internet Explorer. Customers may install it without realizing they
have changed the behavior of their applications. Update KB912945 is a
non-security update for Windows, and Microsoft will also release an optional
Compatibility Patch which will restore previous Internet Explorer behavior
until the next cumulative security update in June, 2006. See this link for the
most current schedule details
Microsoft Security Advisory 912945
(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/912945.mspx)
The following options are available to avoid the impact on IBM Lotus Domino Web
Access from Microsoft Internet Explorer Update KB912945:
Remove update KB912945, using the "Add/Remove Programs" option in the Windows
Control Panel, remembering to check the "Show updates" box.
Prevent application of optional update KB912945, if you have control over
desktop software installations.
After application of the April cumulative security update, apply the upcoming
Microsoft Compatibility Patch to Internet Explorer
Use another supported web browser to access the affected web pages, thereby
avoiding the changes to ActiveX controls. More >
