ColdFusion 8 Bugs and Issues

Since there is no official bug notification area, I figure since this is the support forum that it would be a good place to report them. If it is "user error", please indicate that the issue is solved with the solution.


TYPE: ANNOYANCE

<CFTEXTAREA richtext = "true"> (FCKEditor): They did say that the image/file manager won't be worked out in time for the release but they didn't really remove it properly and it could cause problem with people using it.

For example: click on the INSERT SMILEY icon and place a smiley in the text. Now right click on it will bring up the IMAGE PROPERTIES option. In this menu, it will have the BROWSE SERVER button which doesn't work and the UPLOAD tab which function doesn't work either. You can trigger the IMAGE PROPERTIES option in design mode when you use the SOURCE icon and insert a IMG SRC code.

If the feature isn't enabled, it should be totally disabled.

    no its not a bug, this is normal behaviour, CF double escapes single quotes when they appear in CF variables inside <cfquery>.

    To stop this from happening you can use the PreserveSingleQuotes() function - you can read about it >> HERE <<

    cheers.

    Michael, I'm all for submitting bug reports to Adobe, but wouldn't it be nice if we had a place to discuss problems we're experiencing with the new software?

    At my job we've rolled out CF 8 on a ton of servers, and guess what? Half the people in tech support aren't aware of these quirks/bugs.

    Maybe you could supply us with a link to a page where Adobe lists the current acknowledged bugs? For some reason I doubt it's available. [I'm looking for it now]

    For example some of our customers using the MySQL 4/5 driver for their DSN are getting errors on their site. If you uncheck the keep alive when configuring the DSN the problem doesn't occur. (not sure if this is CF or MySQL problem but it's worth noting)

    TYPE: BUG

    <CFLAYOUTAREA> / <CFFILE type="upload">: Basically you can't use these tags together. If you submit the upload code within the CFLAYOUTAREA tag, it will cause the following error:

    Invalid content type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
    The cffile action="upload" requires forms to use enctype="multipart/form-data".


    As you can see with the attached code, I did use the right enctype for the CFINPUT.

    Additional Note: Tried it with CFWINDOW (with modified code) and get similar issue. I think it has something to do with any AJAX UI tags <CFPOD><CFWINDOWS>etc.
