Description

« Hide

When typing a name in the "Single user" portion of the "Add new permission" section of the admin browser, the page shifts upwards preventing the user from using the interface

Reproduction:

Open the Add New Permission Section
Put a dot in the Single User option
Start typing a name (ensure that your database has enough names in it such that the ajax user picker becomes quite large when it queries) our jira instance has 400+ users)
observe that the page will shift upwards
click away from the ajax picker - do not pick a user
observe that the page is now unusable.

Note:

My Display size is 1920x1200 and my JIRA Logo Banner is of size: 529pxx64px

The second picture looks with the ajax box expanded looks a bit weird because I remove all the names for privacy.

Hi guys,

I manage to reproduce this problem. I found that it breaks at autocomplete-widget.js @ line 476

// called when the container disappears
autoComplete.containerCollapseEvent.subscribe(function(sType, aArgs)
{
//reset the z-index on hide so on show we can increase the z-index for one container
var container = document.getElementById(config.containerId);
container.style.zIndex = 0;
});

Cheers,
Eddie

The fix for this issue has not been able to make it into JIRA v3.12. We are hoping to incorporate it into v3.12.1. As of writing however, there are 163 items scheduled as Fix For v3.12.1. We will not be able to include all of them.

Thanks for the update Jed

This however is not critical to our installation as a workaround I can use the standard user picking for the time being to add a single user as needed.
