Crystal Reports for VS 2010 "Recent Pages" history is erased in IE 8

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have a reporting application developed in Asp.Net 4.0 and Crystal Reports for VS2010. When application displays a report and user tries to navigate report pages, for some reason in IE 8 the "Recent Pages" history only keeps 2 most recent pages of the report. The rest of the pages are gone from the "Recent Pages" history in IE 8.

The "Recent Pages" history is only being erased when navigating report pages using Crystal Reports viewer for VS2010. When I navigate to other pages of the application or any other website, those pages are kept in "Recent History".

For example if a report contains 10 pages and user goes from page 1 to page 5, only page 5 and page 4 are in "Recent Pages" history of the browser.

When I run the application in Google Chrome the "Recent Pages" history is not erased and I can navigate to the pages using "Back" and "Forward" buttons of the browser.

When the application is using Crystal Reports for VS 2005 and .Net 2.0, multiple pages are kept in IE 8 "Recent Pages" history not just the last 2 most recently visited.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Vlad.

May be a browser setting(?), or a CR bug(?). Let me take a look and get back.

Hi Ludek,

Do you have any updates on this question.

Thanks.

Not yet...

Unfortunately, phone cases take precedence so forums do have a lower priority. If this is a critical issue, you may want to crearte a phone case here;

I've got a few other tests, but I'll try to get to this today.

OK. Threw a report into a web app and ran it. The only way I can reproduce the behavior is as follows:

Run a report (mine has 7 pages)

Page through to page 5

Go to recent history - I see all pages there from 1 to 5

Click on page 1

I get page 1 (but the page counter on the viewer remains as 5 of 5 )

Page through to page 7 using the forward page button of the viewer

Now I get the last 2 pages only

Is this the behavior you are seeing?

I sometimes can see 3-4 pages in history right after the viewer is done paging to the next page, but a few seconds later, while staying on the same page, when I click on the down arrow next to "Back/Forward" buttons on the IE8 I only see only 2 pages. I think the behavior you experience is similar to mine. Does CR viewer run some script on the background? Thank you.

Hi Ludek,

So what do you think cases this behavior by Crystal Report viewer 2010 in IE8. Is it a bug?.

Thanks.
