Resolved issue with duplicate thread creation
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
In Designer Studio, a new thread was created on every click of New Item in the recent list. This was due to the contentID generated not being passed at the document launch time, and the APIs have been updated.

Collapsible header text updated for accessibility
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When a UI layout/section used a collapsible header, JAWS read the field values "Click to expand" and "Click to collapse." Using the word "Click" is not optimal for accessibility, and this field has been changed to "Disclose contents" and "Hide contents."

Smoothed multiple portal tabs handling
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
After opening the Case Manager developer portal, if a user portal was opened in a second tab using the 'Switch Portal' option shown in operator menu, returning to the developer portal tab caused that tab to be refreshed and the user portal tab to close. Previously, attempting to open a second portal session in a tab of the same window resulted in a 'Multiple sessions running' error. This limitation was removed in Pega 7.x. However, in this case the 'ShowDesktop' activity could not determine the 'ThreadName' parameter and defaulted to the 'Standard' thread and this change caused the refresh. The logic for determining the thread name has been updated to remove this issue.

"Required" checkboxes now working properly with Firefox
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When using Firefox, putting focus on a field which has "Required" checkbox checked and clicking "Enter" button caused the flow to ignore the checkbox and move forward without showing any error on the screen. This was an issue with the browser not supporting the event prevention code, and the system has been updated to ensure expected behavior.

Timing improved for delegated strategy rule editing
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
After saving a strategy rule to an unlocked production ruleset and adding that version to My Favorites, it was not possible to checkout the rule. When the refresh/reload button (only button displayed on the rule toolbar) was clicked, a StringIndexOutOfBoundsException message was generated. The root cause was a timing issue due to system slowness that prevented the display of the toolbar icons, and code has been implemented to increase the timeout for 'openRuleINprogress'.

Fix inserted for CaseWorker portals using Microsoft Internet Explorer 8
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
CaseWorker portal links to open and interact with cases were not working in the Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 browser. This was caused by the method used to get the dynamic container not being supported by Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, and has been resolved by changing the querySelector to get the proper class names.

Added handling for NPEs on mobile devices
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Answering a questionnaire on a mobile device was generating the error "NullPointer in SafeURL.put()" due to the source element being a radiobutton div and not sending the request for postvalue. This was a missing condition in the initiatepost method of pega_ui_events for handling NPEs on mobile and the system has been modified to correct this.
