Those at the Cancun WWDC24 event may recall during Jean and Mario Customer Experience presentation, I pointed out that in their screen that allowed end-users to define a color used in their generic reports, currently their users have to type in a color, wouldn’t it be better to have them select a color from a GUI widget?  This was an attempt to get more support for such an enhancement.
 
The good news is that in the recent GBC 5.00.10 release, we shipped a Color Picker example in the customization area, but there are other Color Picker widgets you could use.  You are not limited to what we provide.  This is one of the good things about GBC Customisation.

One of the things I repeated a couple of times during the recent WWDC was that in my opinion you should prepare your environments to receive monthly releases of the GBC and be in a position to switch quickly between GBC releases. 
 
This will allow you to compare your customisation against the standard GBC,  and also to compare different GBC versions.

[Genero Enterprise 5.00 Maintenance Release :GBC 5.00.11]

Genero Enterprise 5.00 Maintenance Release : GBC 5.00.11

Four Js is pleased to announce a Maintenance Release of Genero Browser Client 5.00.11.

What's new for GBC...

• New degraded mode alerts: The degraded mode feature provides information when certain functions
  of GBC might not work properly due to limitations in the environment or configuration.
• GBC supports the headerPosition presentation style attribute for setting the position of column headers
  (the name of the columns) relative to the field position. This attribute applies only to flipped table rendering.
• There has been a review of the visual feedback shown to the user when they hover, click/touch, and focus
  field widgets and buttons in the GBC.
• Several theme variables were added to control the new visual feedback.
• New variables are introduced for setting theme state (hover, focus, active) for widgets.
• The usage of old CSS classes should be considered obsolete and be replaced with the new name.
• Some changes have been applied to JavaScript, we recommend that you review your existing customizations
  for some elements.

GBC-4811 was declared on GBC 4.01.14.
GBC-3562 was declared on GBC 4.01.01.
In fact, this problem exists since the new implementation of the table layout based on CSS grid during 4.00 development.

@Carl: these type of Issues are best served via the Support Portal.  Ideally with a small example that reproduces the issue and details of versions where it was OK and not OK.  Asking a support question via the Developer forum does not trigger our response KPI's.   

@Olivier: When I wrote https://4js.com/ask-reuben/ig-193/ (an article about the EXIT DISPLAY technique you use) which is about 60 weeks ago, the screenshots were OK.  Looking closely they weren't perfect but did not get an overwrite / squashed appearance of last two rows.  When I rerun the example  in that article (make browser tab smaller so less than 26 rows visible, click Next to see some data), there seems to be a difference introduced in GBC 5.00.06.

   

Hello Carl
This is a known issue (GBC-4811 and GBC-3562) we are currently working on in the current sprint. If everything is going smooth and well, you should have it fixed in our next GBC release. If not, please contact support to hae more info.

Olivier - Front-End Projects Manager.

PS- GBC-4811 is not public yet you should have it in the bug tracker tomorrow.

Hello,

We're using Genero 5.00.02 and GBC 5.00.10 on Windows Server.

We have quite a number of screens that open and display a list of data items. Because we don't know the height of the table in the browser we use:

DISPLAY ARRAY p_mess TO s_mess.* ATTRIBUTE( COUNT = p_arr_count )
BEFORE DISPLAY
        EXIT DISPLAY
END DISPLAY

That displays all the rows that we've taken from the database into the table. But it displays the bottom rows squashed together. See screenshot:

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ti3biyuawjwfkpnx0h8nf/Screenshot-1.jpg?rlkey=1wms9alnagsrdamx49pofdlj1&e=1&dl=0

When we browse all the rows in the table, just using DISPLAY ARRAY, it renders the bottom rows correctly. See screenshot:

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/5rgzoq88a1nnim0ieqcwj/Screenshot-2.jpg?rlkey=gfm05mvidgn5cdpydejzeyslc&e=1&dl=0

I've tried this using the latest version of Firefox and Chrome with the same result.

Is there a way around this problem or will it need to be fixed in GBC?

Thanks,

Carl
