  The Process Designer allowed multiple sections of a coach to
  be created with control IDs that differ only in case (for
  example, "section5" and "Section5").  These control IDs can be
  automatically generated or specified by the user.  When the
  coach is displayed in Internet Explorer, the browser considers
  the control IDs to match (case-insensitive) and therefore does
  not correctly render the sections.  Firefox does not consider
  the control IDs to be matching and therefore does not exhibit
  the problem.
  

Problem conclusion

• This issue has been fixed in the Process Designer; a warning
  message (dialog) will be displayed if two or more control IDs
  differ only in case (previously, only control IDs that matched
  exactly would generate the warning).
  
  An interim fix for Process Designer in BPM Version 7.5.0.1 has
  been published to Fix Central.
