Web Client Patch (2026-10-01)

Version 8.3.0.20261001054500
Desktop integration 8.4.4.200

• The version info dialog now has a button that copies the core web client version information to the clipboard. It collects the web client version and build time stamp, the RAP platform version, the web server and servlet API, and the browser identification, so this information can be reported with a single click. (CRM-1602)

• In a CLOB editor that allows both HTML and plain text but defaults to plain text, the text type could no longer be changed for a fresh, empty field. Switching to HTML now works immediately. (CRM-1600)
• The backspace key now works again in dialogs opened from the CLOB editor, such as the "Edit placeholder value" dialog. Previously, once a second CLOB editor was active on the same page, hitting backspace in such a dialog had no effect because it was mistakenly intercepted as a navigation shortcut. (CRM-1634)
• Searching a numeric field in the Quick Finder no longer returns too many records if the field's format includes a unit such as a percent sign. The unit is part of the displayed value (for example "12,50 %"), and the percent sign was passed to the search as a wildcard, which widened the query. Units are now stripped from the search value before it is applied. (CRM-1694)
• Combobox dropdown lists are no longer displayed a few pixels too short, which could clip the last visible row. If there isn't enough space to display a dropdown list in full, it will now open above or below the field, depending on where there is more space available. A further case where a dropdown could still be clipped, occurring only if several browsers with different display scaling were connected to the same server, has also been resolved. (CRM-1717)
• Resizing an image in the CLOB editor caused its new size to be lost after saving. The chosen width was not persisted when the content was stored, so the image reverted to its original size once the record was reopened. The width is now preserved. (CRM-17524)
• Pasting plain text into the CLOB editor could remove blank lines. Depending on how the source text separated paragraphs, multiple consecutive blank lines were collapsed into a single paragraph break, or dropped entirely. All blank lines are now preserved as visible space when pasting plain text. (CRM-1753)
• CLOB editor: A block placeholder with a multi-line HTML value, such as an address, lost all its line breaks and was rendered as a single line. Line breaks in such values are now preserved. (CRM-1754)
• In Firefox, clicking a button that opens a popup menu, such as in the pinboard, while a CLOB editor still had unsaved changes could make the popup act on the field's previous content instead of the current one. The field's current content now always reaches the server before such a click is processed, regardless of the browser. (CRM-1779)
• Resizing the sash next to the "Desktop" view, or the one above the "Messages" view, was not remembered for the next login. The current size was captured too late, after it had already been sent to the server on logout. It is now captured in time. (CRM-1807)
• An internal locking mechanism used to select the JavaScript bundle could contend with another web client instance deployed in the same Java process, causing occasional unnecessary delays. This lock is now private to each instance. (no ticket)
