Authors using crop and rotate tools within the Assets Console may occasionally discover that their changes appear to work but are ultimately ignored when the image is refreshed. (This is for the crop-rotate-flip tools that are in the Assets Console, and not the tools within the photo component.)
Authors report inconsistent behavior when they attempt to copy content from an external source (e.g. Excel table) and paste it directly into an existing UBCMS Table component.
When in Edit mode, clicking to open a link in a new browser tab or window loads the new page without the Flex UI header, removeing 'editor.html/' from the page URL in the location bar. Opening in the same tab works normally.
When in Edit mode, there is no obvious way to expand the container to view or edit its contents--clicking the container merely controls editing the container's settings.
When using the keyboard shortcut to Edit a page in Flex UI, some authors are warned about the page opening in a pop-up window. (This does not occur when clicking the Edit button.)
We have had some reports of secure pages (-pw) loading very slowly relative to the rest of a site. For example, the first secure page may take 20-30 seconds to display while adjacent non-secure pages load instantaneously.
On comparison, an RSS feed displayed on a UBCMS page does not match the master feed. One (or more) items are not the same, perhaps the headline or a link is different. After the synch interval set in the UBCMS has passed, this difference persists.
We have seen cases where a Photo Gallery does not load quickly or seems to never load. In this situation, the problem seems to be unreliability and poor response due to the file size of the images being displayed from the DAM. Extremely large images can be a problem, as well as lots of relatively large images.
Sometimes your page(s) load blank in Author. The Sidekick loads (with components and tools) but the actual Web page content and the Content Finder are not visible.
Site managers can set their site to only show as https (SSL/secure) in Page Properties of their home page. However, in some cases, sites set as https can be opened as http, or even switch from https to http as visitors click through the site.
Some authors have reported that drag-and-drop of files into the Digital Assets Manager (DAM) fails. Instead the files load into the browser as a preview. This occurs when the DAM is accessed through the Websites Admin Console instead of the preferred Digital Assets Manager console.
In the author environment, clicking links to external sites sometimes shows a warning message, or loads a blank or mostly blank page or does not load the new page at all.
You may observe an orange marker and a message stating that your activation is 'queued', even though your changes have already appeared with the normal speed on your published website.
When a non-publisher attempts to activate a page which includes content for which they do not have permissions, an error message is displayed and that referenced content is not published.
When a tag is moved or merged, any pages already carrying that tag retain a 'ghost' of the original tag in their meta-data. This can corrupt tagged lists that are built on a parent of the original tag.
When a page contains more than 400 components, page editing becomes harder. Lists displaying more than 500 teasers will break the list and generate a server error.
Secure pages are by design only accessible to a user once they have successfully logged in through Shibboleth. In some cases, like the List Component, the UBCMS is smart enough to not even reveal a link to a secure page unless the user should see the link, but this makes it difficult to naturally reveal these pages in lists.
Your site includes content such as a news or events feed from another UBCMS or external source, and what is shown on your site doesn't update when that external feed changes. This has to do with server caching.
Google Analytics data prior to May 30, 2012 will include statistics from both the authoring and live environments and therefore will not accurately reflect public use of your published website.
A page or piece of shared content sometimes is published under a name that no longer exists on the author system. This can happen if a user without publishing rights renames a published page, or possibly for other reasons.
The Content Finder can be collapsed against the left edge of your browser. This can increase the visible area of your browser window when you are working within components of the UBCMS. However, it is also possible to accidentally hide it, and the Content Finder seems to be removed.
