krish p commented on JBPORTAL-1769:
-----------------------------------

On further debugging, I've narrowed down this test case further.

In IE, when I click on the maximize/minimize event, it always works if I open it in a new tab (which is ofcourse not a solution or even a workaround) but when I simply click on the icon, I see that the portlet shrinks a wee bit (this does NOT happen in firefox), and the HTTP request is not even made. When I release the mouse button, it expands (by the 2% or so that it shrunk) and nothing happens. I keep trying this till it works and at that point, it does get maximized except that it will disappear when it is either restored or minimized from that point on.

Why is there a difference in behavior and particularly, why does it shrink a wee bit in IE? Is there a way I can turn that off?

Also, if the portlet disappears, how can I render it again? Worst case scenario, even if it requires database updates (to be done by the admin), it is okay. The way we have it now, there is literally no way to get it back. Thanks for your help..

> I am not able to reproduce the exact issue in this build, http://portal.demo.jboss.com/portal/default but I can definitely see related issues.
> Essentially, this is the problem:
> * Add a portlet on the page.
> * Maximize it, restore it, minimize it, and keep doing this a few times, and at some point, the portlet disappears for the user and cannot ever be restored (unless the portlet is chosen to be added again, and even in that case, it fails occasionally).
> After doing a fair bit of testing, I've narrowed down the test case to the following:
> * This does NOT reproduce in Firefox and happens only in IE
> * Even in IE, it happens ONLY when clicking on the maximize/minimize/restore events DOES NOT work the first time. 
> I am able to see the exact the same issue in the http://portal.demo.jboss.com/portal/default build in IE. The portlet events do not work unless repetitively tried, and in our case, the portlet disappears exactly at that point. In other words, when the portlet event does not get kicked off the first time when the portlet is in the maximized mode, the portlet ends up disappearing when we repeatedly click on that event (be it minimize or restore).
> It is a little painful to reproduce this but the problem does exist in IE.
