Version 8.5 Refresh Pack 5 for the IBM Business Process Manager products
Download Version 8.0.1 Fix Pack 3 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The width of the profile language selector is not automatically
  resized, which is a problem with Internet Explorer 8. Therefore,
   the total width is increased from its default size to allow for
   IE8 to display all text with nothing cut off.
  

Local fix

• n/a
  

Problem summary

• You cannot see the entire name of the language in the IBM
  Process Portal profile language selector when you use Internet
  Explorer 8.
  
  PRODUCTS AFFECTED:
  IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) Advanced
  IBM BPM Standard
  IBM BPM Express
  
  PROBLEM DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
  Although other browsers automatically expand the drop-down
  selector to accommodate the longest string, Internet Explorer 8
  does not.  Process Portal sets a static size for the drop-down
  selector, which prevents long strings from being visible.
  
  IS A WORKAROUND AVAILABLE?
  Yes.  Use Internet Explorer 9, Firefox, or Chrome.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.0.1.2 that ensures that the
  drop-down selector is wide enough to accommodate all language
  strings.
