IBM Rational Rhapsody 8.3.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Opening the features window prevents the toolbar buttons from
  functioning. They are enabled (not greyed out) but cannot be
  clicked. I.e. they do not depress when clicked and nothing
  happens. This affects all toolbars.

  3) Click the toolbar button "GMR". Button depresses and GMR
  operation completes successfully.

  toolbar buttons when the features window is open.
