Case Designer modified to counter Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 UI override
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
While working in the Stages & Processes tab using the Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 browser, it was not possible to view or modify the step and details and some buttons were not working. This was due to the display of auto complete being overridden with the browser's UI styles z-index. To create the proper behavior, the Case-Designer-styles CSS has been modified to add a Pega-specific z-index for process entry in Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.

Corrected persistent highlighting of work object
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
If a work object was opened from the following button in the left panel, that particular WO opened but remained highlighted in blue even after other selections were made. This was caused by a configuration issue where the pyFavorites section was refreshed if the FollowUnFollow count changed, but if there was a Mixin as the Background for Row focus and Row Selection cases the text would remain highlighted until there was another change in the FollowUnFollow count. In order to resolve this, "Use default background for this format" will be enabled by default.

RTE font change behavior smoothed
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
If text present in the RTE was selected and the font family changed, the selected text was getting unselected and cursor was moving out. This has been fixed by modifying cmd_fontName and _selectNode to retain the selection of content in the RTE after changing the font name.

Localization added for on-click harness tab
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Localization was not working for the label of a tab containing a harness which was opened by a button. This was was due to the field value not being used for the tab name when it is configured as an on click action for a button, and localization has been added for tabName when the navigation rule is configured as showharness.

Context retained for nested grids
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
The base reference was computed incorrectly when RDL is dropped inside a repeating structure, causing local action to be executed in the wrong context. To resolve this, the system has been updated to return null if a RDL row is encountered in getRepeatObject, so that base_ref is calculated from the node where action is invoked.

Tree grid alignment resolved for Google Chrome and Firefox
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When using the Google Chrome and Firefox browsers, tree grid rows were not properly aligned. This was due to legacy code in GenerateGridHTML which was running in quirks and used a different document model in different browsers. The model was no longer necessary due to a change in the generation method, and has been removed.
