CDK key loading modified for better database compatibility
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
Users were unable to log on to the system and received the error "There has been an issue; please consult your system administrator." Investigation showed the log errors stating "(dataencryption.DataKeyProvider) ERROR localhost - Could not get CDK from systemKeyManagementCache - System CDK is null". This was an issue specific to the MS SQL Server database when there were 6 or more CDKs in the database: CDK keys are loaded from database into Cache using an SQL statement which had the ORDER clause. By default, the ORDER clause treats NULL values differently on different databases, and this caused MS SQL databases to not load a necessary CDK key. To resolve this, the SQL query has been modified so the result will be the same for all supported daatbases (Oracle, Postgres & MS SQL Server).

Handling added for samesite cookies with httpOnly
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
After enabling samesite cookies on Google Chrome to support Mashup login, intermittent issues were seen with a non-mashup login where entering the OperatorID and password only resulted in a refresh of the login screen. This was traced to a scenario where an httponly cookie attribute was present along with samesite cookie attributes, and has been resolved by adding handling for a condition where samesite is set and httpOnly is enabled.

Port validation updated for redirect URI
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
When an offline app for windows client was generated, trying to login via SSO resulted in the error "invalid redirect_uri". This was traced to the system validating the whole loopback redirection URL, e.g. "http://127.0.0.1:1234/redirection", including the port number. To enhance flexibility, an update has been made so that the port number will not be validated, allowing the client to establish it based on availability at the moment of the request to the authorization service. NOTE: As a best practice, a loopback URL should not be configured as a redirect URI. If a loopback URL is configured, then at run time the port number will not be validated, and the client application can use any available port on the system including ports that may not be intended for use.

Pulse mentions correctly tagged in Google Chrome
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
Pulse mentions of spaces or users were not getting tagged correctly. This issue was due to recent changes in the way touch events are handled in Google Chrome: the latest upgrade removed the ontouchstart property in the window, causing the isTouchable capability identification method to fail. As part of the work done to resolve this, it was discovered that the initAutocomplete function in the pzJquerymentionsInput .js was failing to delegate the mousedown event. This has been corrected by delegating touchstart and mousedown while initializing if screen isTouchable.

Placeholder text added for question dropdown sourced by a datapage
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
In a flow action with question pages where each question page was configured with a set of question rules, one question which displayed a country list in a dropdown sourced from a datapage always displayed the first value by default in the dropdown instead of place holder text (like Select..). In addition, the default selection value of the dropdown was not saving to the clipboard on submission of the flow action, causing it to appear in the UI like the first value had been selected even though nothing was saved on the clipboard. These issues have been resolved by adding place holder text in pzSetQuestionStreamSimpleDynamicSelect for a dropdown with a datapage source

Landing page refresh modified to avoid frequent reloads
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
Approximately every two weeks, clients were able to login but it was not possible to work as the landing page refreshed constantly until all of the nodes were rebooted and the issue was cleared. Investigation indicated the frequent reloads were related to the cacheing of the operator details, and this has been resolved by updating the datapage reload strategy based on 'when' so frequent reloads will be avoided.

Spaces member count method updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
When a space contained more than 50 members, it always displayed the count as 50 even though the Spaces section showed the correct count. This was due to a pagination setting that had a maximum of 50 records set, and has been resolved by using the GroupMemberCount DP instead of AllMembers to retrieve an accurate count.

Resolved mobile app java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
After working with the mobile app for a period, logging in failed and the app crashed with java.lang.OutOfMemoryError exceptions. This was traced to each sync adding a new version of allow-list datapages to the client store which were not cleared, and has been resolved.

Accessibility improved for Pega Survey Question pages
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
Question Pages in Pega Survey lacked accessibility. This was traced to aria-label not being generated for Radio buttons and Drop-downs, and "title" not being generated for other controls used in Question and Question Pages. This has been resolved.

Improved usability for long Pulse notes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
After a Pulse message exceeded 32 lines, the window scrolled to the top of the screen after each keypress, obscuring the typing. This was traced to the CSS on the textarea span, and has been resolved by modifying create-new-pulse to display:inline-flex; in pzpega_social CSS.
