Process crash when using Internet Explorer 9 as embedded browser

Troubleshooting


Problem

Using Internet Explorer 9 as an embedded browser within the product might cause workbench crashes in certain situations.

Symptom

The Web development tools contain several features that use an embedded browser widget. Examples of these features include:

  • Web Browser preview
  • Mobile Browser Simulator
  • Rich Page Editor "Design" pane

When running in Eclipse 3.7.2 or 4.2 in Windows environments with Internet Explorer 9, the embedded browser used in these tools might cause a workbench crash when attempting to display some web pages.

This is a known problem with all web pages that use Dojo Toolkit 1.7.2 and might also occur with any web pages that use JavaScript.
