Problem summary

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• We accept this as a limitation in iWidgets when used with TM1Web
  against RAVE charts in IE 11.  Currently the version of Dojo
  along side RAVE being consumed has conflicts with MS
  Silverlight.  Cognos Workspace requires IE to be executed in IE
  8 compatible mode which then incurs the issue presented.
  
  There is a commitment to have this addressed in a major release,
  and effort already underway.  This cannot be accepted as a IF or
  even a FP due to the significant changes required to accomplish
  this task places too much risk on the stability of TM1 iWidgets
  in Cognos Workspace, and TM1Web as a whole.  As a workaround
  until our next major is prepared Firefox and Chrome can be used
  as substitutes.
