Pop-ups in Kiosk Mode

Post by tbax »

Hello,

When you hit enter on a blank search in our catalogue (polaris), a pop up pops up saying "please enter a search term".

When in Kiosk mode, this window is inaccessible, and patrons/staff think the catalogue is frozen. (alt+tab allows you to close the error window and use the catalogue again).

Is there a way to have the popups accessible overtop the browser in kiosk mode? Or is there another way we could/should be running the browser so this popup doesn't "freeze" the catalogue?

Thank you,
Tom

After setting [Browser]KioskMode=True, what are the steps to recreate the issue?

For example:
1. start with URL ...
2. enter search into box
3. hit Enter key

Have the search bar selected, so you see the blinking cursor in the box but don't type an actual search, and hit Enter.

Forgot to ask, what version of PWB are you using including the minor version number and HTML renderer, for example "3.05.7 CEF"?

I believe we're .1 version off.
Version 3.05.5 04-30-2019 CEF.

Will update to newest version.

Thanks Scott!
Tom
