APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A Duplicate parent/child control without label prevents other
  controls
  to display in IE.
  
  All controls with a higher tab order than the Duplicate
  parent/child
  will not display. Even subsequent
  tabs of the record have disappeared.
  Of the fields with a lower tab order only the label will be
  shown. No
  field outline or data.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  In DefectTracking SAMPL db, add a Duplicate parent/child control
  to the
  main tab of the defect record (this control has no field option,
  leave Label empty)
  Set the Tab Order of the control to e.g. third position.
  Upgrade db.
  Connect to the db in IE. Display a defect record.
  The record display is practically lost.
  Connect from Firefox, the display is still correct.
  
  Adding a label to the control will correct the display in IE.
  
  Reproduced in CQ 8.0.1.2 with
  IE 7.0.5730.13
  IE 9.0.8112.16421
  Not with Firefox
  Same scenario in 7.1.2 works fine.
