Crash when closing window displaying 2 SC webviewer

[Hedrich Michaelsen]

This is a reproducible error. I can create a pristine file and place two SuperContainer webviewers on one layout. When I close the window, it crashes FileMaker.

This is reproducible under the following conditions:

Client:

Windows XP SP3

FMPA 10.0v3

Java 1.6.0_14 (as well as the two previous versions)

Server:

Latest version of SuperContainer

FMSA 10.0v3

Mac OS X 10.5

The crash DOES NOT OCCUR when:

--The client is running FMPA 9.0v3 on WinXP SP3

--The client is running FMPA 10.v3 on Mac OS X 10.4.11

--There is only one SC web viewer on the layout

I can send the crash logs if this would be helpful.

Thank you for posting this. I have been able to reproduce this issue, and we are now working on a fix.

Update: This is a known issue.

This issue is not specific to SuperContainer, this is a problem with all Java applets.

Platforms exhibiting problem:

* XP

* Vista

Java versions exhibiting problem:

* Java 1.6 (we've tested several different updates, and there is no fix for this in Java 1.6 yet)

There are three possible solutions

1. Downgrade to Java 1.5 - http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/5.0_19/index.html

2. Use FM script to either switch to a different layout then close, or minimize the window and then close

3. Use the style=noapplet parameter in the SC URL

I'm sorry that I can't provide you with a more complete fix than this! Hopefully Java will release an update to correct this issue soon.

Thanks! We'll work around it. At least I know why this happens now.

This is still an issue on Windows (for ALL java applets, not just SuperContainer). What are you experiencing on Mac?

[Hedrich Michaelsen]

Just as a followup on this issue, I no longer seem to be experiencing it with Java version 1.6.0_18. I did find that putting the two webviewers on separate tabs of a tab control panel circumvented the problem even with the earlier versions of Java.
