Client API - Chrome, FireFox, Safari Xrm.Page.ui.getCurrentControl returns null when control in form has focus
          Issue is with Client API that returns the control that has focus. In non-
          Internet Explorer, when an action is invoked form the ribbon, the 
          focus is   not on any element, hence the API returns null whereas in 
          Internet   Explorer , the focus remains even when action is invoked 
          from ribbon,   hence API returns the control.

iPad - Functional -  Close a form without saving , after changing values on the form does not ask for confirmation
If you close a form window in iPad without saving the details, the  changes may be lost without giving any explicit warning to the user

Firefox - Functional: New Contract form opens minimized,
In Firefox, when a new contract is created, the contract form opens up but the focus in not on the form, it remains on the grid.
           User has to alt tab to see the contract form
158237
Mac safari Lion OS: issue in page access
In Mac Lion/Safari, try to delete a record in activitites grid, and click on delete to remove the record. When we click on delete, a new tab open which covers the entire screen
When we click on OK, even the activities screen vanishes.
Activities screen exits but minimized because safari is opened in full screen.
          MAC Lion Safari's inherent behavior is to open popups in full screen if  
          Safari was initially opened in full screen.

          Workaround is to open Safari in normal mode and dock to occupy full   
          screen. In this case all modal dialogs open in their intended size and 
          the   behavior is seamless as in other browsers.

Safari Functional: Not able to accept Terms or Service
In Safari, when you try to signup and enter live-id, and click on accept terms, there is a image character (captcha) that needs to be entered, System does not accept the entered character
          This bug is seen only when time on client machine is wrong. For  
          instance, we set timezone, e.g. London, after that we increase hours 
          from   2:33 pm to 4:33 pm. In this case we will face this issue. Bug 
          doesn't surface  for different timezones with correct time. This 
          behavior is by design.

Chrome Layout: Dashboard scrollbar is appearing on wrong side
In Chrome on Windows, Arabic language environment, when you click on any dashboard the Scrollbar is appearing on the right side of dashboard instead of left side
          This is a known issue with the Chrome browser that it doesn't show 
          scrollbar on the left if the direction attribute is set to rtl.

FireFox 11 and Chrome 17.0.963.79 m> Twitter , Google, Facebook do not render in Dashboard IFrame component
In Firefox and Chrome, when you try to add a iframe component in a dashboard and add a website like facebook.com into that iFrame, the iframe component does not render.
           There is an attribute "X-Frame-Option" = "deny" which a website can
          use, so that these websites cannot be rendered inside an iframe.

          Different browsers handle it differently:
           1) Internet Explorer gives a security warning and link to open in new  
           window 2)  Firefox will just show the empty page

          [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\LSA] of  
          Name  SuppressExtendedProtection. Type REG_DWORD and data

Tracking iOS Safari bug: In few cases of nested dialogs on iPad focus shifts to the parent window instead of the immediate parent

·         Marketing -> Marketing List -> Select Record -> Copy Marketing List
·         Sales -> Accounts -> Select an Account -> Run Workflow

          Avoid multiple clicks on the lookup button.

Dialog: Firefox - "Finish" button not working for dialogs.
When a dialog is launched directly using the URL (instead of initiating dialog from the application), clicking the Finish button to finish the dialog prompt will not close the dialog window.
          Avoid launching a dialog from the URL directly. Instead launch the  
          dialog from within the application or from a javascript code.

         This is a known Firefox issue and more information on this is available
         at this link https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=190515#c70

SharePoint and Chrome: Unable to load document grid in Microsoft Dynamics CRM. 
Environment:
Client machine and SharePoint site are on a different domain and client machine requires authentication to connect to SharePoint site.

Issue:
Chrome blocks the basic http authentication pop-up for cross-domain Iframes as described in
http://blog.chromium.org/2011/06/new-chromium-security-features-june.html.
Hence, you cannot authenticate with the Microsoft Dynamics CRM site and the document grid doesn’t load.


           1) Open a separate Chrome tab and open the SharePoint site there.        
          Chrome will now show the credential dialog and you can enter the   
          credentials.
          2) After the first step, open the CRM form again, navigate to the  
          document associated tab and open the SharePoint site. Site will be  
          rendered in the document grid.

SharePoint and Firefox/Chrome/Safari:
Error message that occurs when no document is associated with the entity and user tries to associate in non-Internet Explorer browsers.

If you get the following message:

“The folder could not be created. The Microsoft Dynamics CRM List component on the SharePoint site might be an earlier version. Contact a system administrator to install a later version of the List component.”
         1) Install the new list component on the SharePoint site.
         2) Create a folder on the SharePoint site and add the location of this  
         folder in the document grid.
