Bugs and Changes

Overview

Although CommonSpot 7.0 is very similar to the old version we identified few areas that work different from the old version.  Some are bugs that require fixes from the software vendor, others represent new ways of using the software. We are documenting these changes as we identify them below along with recommendations to address these changes.

Cut and Paste in a Formatted Text Block

Eventhough the Rich Text Editori in CommonSpot is configured to use the copy and paste options, changes to the Firefox and Chrome browsers do not allow access to the clipboard.  Both browsers require extensions to be added, this function is default in Internet Explorer 9.  Follow these steps to install the extension in your browser of choice:

Chrome

1. Click on the extension paperthin_chrome_extension.crx and download it to your computer
2. Click on Chrome Tools, select Extensions
3. Drag the file paperthin_chrome_extension.crx to the chrome extensions page
4. Restart Chrome. paperthin_chrome_extension.crx displays in your extensions listing

Firefox

Dashboard Does Not always Show Tools In Some Browsers

Page Index Filter by Keyword

 Filtering by keywords in CommonSpot 7 is case-sensitive.It wasn't in the old version, so there maybe some filters that worked before that do  not work now.  

Special Characters in File Names for Images and Documents

CommonSpot 7 does not accept special characters in file names.  Strip "&" "/"  "%" "$" from file names of images and document file names you plan to upload to CommonSpot.
