Screen flash when using Drag'N'Drop features

Hi All,

During our multiuser testing of the calendar we noticed that if one user moved an event by dragging it to another time slot, everyone's screen would flash. The same happened with any of the drag operations. This does not happen if the event is edited and then saved with a refresh.

I don't know if others have experienced this issue, but we had to disable the drag features because it was very disturbing to our users.

Thanks in advance for any advice -- Mark

Hi Mark,

Interesting. While at first I didn't understand this, I get it now, though I'm not sure there is much we can do about it. When you drag, you'ed editing the record you're "looking at" (the calendar interface record) before our scripts edit the appointment you dragged.

It is this editing of the interface record that is pushing a re-paint to users.

The only thing I can think of is to try this: edit the script "Click in / Drag Event" and scroll past the "Get..." comments until you see a lone "Go To Field" script step. Replace that with the Revert Record Request script step (making sure to select the "no dialog" option).

Don't know if that will stifle the flash, but I'd be interested to know what you see.

John

Thanks
