Fixed Defects

Defect

Description

CELN-13268

Search by lookup values now consistently returns results when the lookup item has an assigned description.

CELN-13277

An issue with how ElnDirectorySyncService reads data from Active Directory was resolved. It caused the reading of AD users to stop, under very special circumstances.

CELN-13356

Now there are no issues with New Users getting access to public templates when project permissions are granted using the Notebook web client. This problem did not happen when granting project permissions using ElnAdminWeb.

CELN-11972

A "Missing privilege" error message appears when a user with Data Archive privilege, but no Data Archive user account, tries to access Data Archive.

CELN-12162

"Drag and Drop" files of different sizes to Excel, PowerPoint, and Word sections are now faster. The recommendation for very large files is to use “Upload” instead of “Drag and Drop”.

CELN-12772

Redundant settings “Section titles in bold” and “Support for Japanese characters” are no longer shown in personal settings.

CELN-12775

The web client can handle long file names when displaying the file name of uploaded files. The file names are correctly wrapped in the file attachment section.

CELN-12998

The 'µ' character is now displayed correctly in the column headers of SD files.

CELN-13045

SystemSettings now includes BiologicalSequenceSectionSettings and SnapGeneCollectionSectionSettings. The MaxSize setting indicates the maximum file size per upload.

CELN-13079

The options of the chemical drawing tool dropdown in Chemistry options are updated when the connection status changes.

CELN-13119

Advanced search now produces correct results for Experiment Number filters in My Searches.

CELN-13120

The columns are not reset to default when a user applies the "More Than A Year Ago" or "Any date" filter. The filters applied to columns in library listings are now working as expected.

CELN-13131

Data Archive is now compatible with the Firefox browser.

CELN-13173

The reaction import Preview dialog now shows only the required details when an exception occurs.

CELN-13176

Data Archive now handles the setting "NumericUserNameMinLength" correctly so that with appropriate configuration, it is possible to have users having an all-numeric username shorter than 10 digits.

CELN-13220

The HTTP client settings of the Windows Desktop Connector client are changed, making it less prone to connection issues.

CELN-13221

The Desktop Connector can now detect that two DesktopConnectorService instances are distinct, including when they share the same IP address.

CELN-13226

On Windows, the number of desktop client login dialog boxes that appear when the Azure access token has expired has been reduced.

CELN-13233

When the Azure access token expires, the web client now displays the message "Not authenticated". It also displays a dialog box, providing an “Unlock” function which refreshes the access token automatically if possible, or displays an Azure login dialog box.

CELN-13239

When you open the Find compound dialog box from a Chemical Reaction section, and create a new chemical drawing, the compound transfers correctly to Notebook.

CELN-13243

Reauthentication works as expected also when both protocols, HTTP and HTTPS, are enabled for NotebookLoginService and Notebook.

CELN-13245

Projects with long Asian titles and descriptions are correctly truncated and printed in the PDF header section.

CELN-13258

The handling of Desktop Connector connection issues is improved. In the Notebook web client, the messages related to the connection status are now more helpful.

CELN-13263

Users can now share an Experiment URL copied from an Experiment search for other users to use. In previous releases, such URLs could typically be opened only by the original user.

CELN-13269

Removing one of the lookup search criteria from the search results refreshes and shows the results according to the remaining search criteria without any error.

CELN-13295

Now there is a separate table to hold the ASCII content and then populate that using a job in the same way as done with text searching for documents.

CELN-13268

Search by lookup values now consistently returns results when the lookup item has an assigned description.

CELN-13277

An issue with how ElnDirectorySyncService reads data from Active Directory was resolved. It caused the reading of AD users to stop, under very special circumstances.

CELN-13356

Now there are no issues with New Users getting access to public templates when project permissions are granted using the Notebook web client. This problem did not happen when granting project permissions using ElnAdminWeb.

CELN-11972

A "Missing privilege" error message appears when a user with Data Archive privilege, but no Data Archive user account, tries to access Data Archive.

CELN-12162

"Drag and Drop" files of different sizes to Excel, PowerPoint, and Word sections are now faster. The recommendation for very large files is to use “Upload” instead of “Drag and Drop”.
