Harness context will be stored to handle on click executed outside of the Ajax Container
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
An exception was generated in the interaction portal on execution of a post-value action for the on-change event on a text-box in the service case: "Failed to find instance Work-Interaction-Research.EmailBodyRTE of type Rule-HTML-Section". This was traced to a condition where clicking outside of the Ajax Container context to trigger the change caused the Events code to execute the event in the active context when the active context had already been changed by clicking outside of the AC. To avoid this, the system will store the harness context in the event object using pega.ctxmgr.getContextByTarget(target) API. Additional changes were also made to handle the context switching in case of post value when the blur triggers a change in context.

Invalid dropdown time will retain entered time
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
If a datetime control using dropdown mode and a timeofday property had a validation error, on refresh the current time was being set in the dropdown. This occurred when selecting only one part of the time property (only minutes or only hours), and included an error indicating that the provided time was not a valid time of day value. To resolve this, an update has been made so that if this combination has a validation error, on refresh setting the user-entered time will be given in the dropdown instead of the current time.

Performance and thread-handling improvements for SSA
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
The SecureRandom class was used internally by SSAExecutionContext indirectly via UUID generation. Because this exhibited performance issues on some Linux environments, UUID has been replaced with static AtomicLong. In addition, a memory leak was observed when the strategy (SSA) execution resulted in an exception, and the strategy template has been modified to gracefully shutdown the VM under all circumstances. Thread-safety measures have also been tuned to be more fine-grained to reduce the potential thread contention that was seen while borrowing the SSAInterpreter object from SSAInterpreterPool.

Tab layout group handling improved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
A difference in scrolling speeds between left and right arrows and an issue with the cursor correctly being redirected to mandatory fields were traced to errors in the tab layout group handling. The right scrolling issue was due to the calculation for right tab movement being incorrect in certain resolutions with relatively positioned elements, and has been corrected. The cursor redirect was caused by an error in the layoutgroup focus when used inside a screen flow where the first focus goes to the screenflow navigation on load, and has been resolved by adding a try catch for an invalid selector in case of a div error.

Extra checks added for pasting Excel content to rich-text editor
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
Copying content from Excel into rich-text editor pasted an image of the content either instead of the actual content or in addition to the actual content. This was traced to the handling of the isHTML flag: the flag should be set to true when there is HTML content in the datatransfer item or while pasting images (!isHTML is the condition in if). However, the sequence of the data items in the datatransfer can change depending on the browser/OS, causing isHTML to sometimes not be set to true before it is used in the condition while pasting images. To resolve this, changes have been made to the pasteHandler in the pzpega_ckeditor_extras file so proper checks are made to figure out the type of data from the clipboard that is being pasted.

Updated Decision Table validation for multiple OR conditions
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
When the Decision Table had multiple OR conditions, the table was verified as consistent even when two rows had the same value. Analysis showed that when Show Conflicts encountered multiple 'or' conditions in a row that matched the same conditions in other rows, it considered them to be different rows. This has been corrected.

Corrected table row highlighting on iPad
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
A table row was highlighted when clicked on an iPad in landscape view, but when the device was rotated to portrait view the row was not highlighted. This was traced to the background CSS overriding the selected style, and has been corrected by modifying py-responsive-overrides.css.

Improved Timezone sync between operator setting and server
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
When the operator timezone was empty, it defaulted to America/New_York in client side code. To better sync client and server, changes have been made so that when an empty timezone is seen, the system will retrieve the timezone from the server configuration.
