[Jean ANDRE (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-12038?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12678446#comment-12678446 ] 

Jean ANDRE commented on RF-12038:
---------------------------------

>From the workbench, page index.xhtml, you can remove the form related to the menu and also the form related to the quick search. it does not impact the issue. From the template page, basePage.xhtml, you can also remove the tag related to the bug JAVASERVERFACES-2016/RF-11694, it does not impact the issue. All of that, in order to reduce the scope.

After removing this code, it seems that the javacript function to close the tab is involved.
See index.xhtml page. IE reports something wrong with event. By removing this piece of code you get something similar to RF-12060

{code}
<f:facet name="header">
 &#160;<h:outputText value="#{desktopController.getTabHeader(tab.id)}" title="#{desktopController.getTabHeader(tab.id)}" />
 &#160;<h:graphicImage
               value="/images/closeButton.png"
          styleClass="closeButton"
            onclick="closeTab('#{tab.id}');event.stopPropagation();"
                alt="" />
</f:facet>
{code}

If you leave the code of the workbench as is, removing only the event.stopPropagation(), you get the following error message.
