Dirk vanWestrienen commented on JBPORTAL-1769:
----------------------------------------------

I've experienced something similar.  It appears to me that the issue is related to the handling of events in IE.  Frequently, but not consistently, when one clicks on the minimize (or maximize, etc) buttons in the portlet header, the action is associated with the drag event and not the specific button.  

This never seems to happen in FireFox.  I just experimented on the JBoss demo site and can reproduce the problem.  We've tested with both IE 6 and 7 and it happens in both.  Since we have big IE customer base this is a BIG problem for us.  

I wonder if there is overlap between the DaD region and the buttons and whether separation of these would solve the problem in IE?

> 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.
