Resolved MultiSelectList control issues for Microsoft Internet Explorer 9+
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
The MultiSelectList control was no longer working for Microsoft Internet Explorer 9+. When a user attempted to select one or multiple items in the MultiSelectList control, the values were not captured when going to the next screen and a JavaScript exception was thrown. This was due to an API change in newer versions of the Internet Explorer (Microsoft Internet Explorer) browser. Microsoft Internet Explorer is following a more strict standard about how the createElement function is used, which caused the JS error to be thrown, and the system has been updated to resolve this issue.

Collapsible header text updated for accessibility
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When a UI layout/section used a collapsible header, JAWS read the field values "Click to expand" and "Click to collapse." Using the word "Click" is not optimal for accessibility, and this field has been changed to "Disclose contents" and "Hide contents."

Smoothed multiple portal tabs handling
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
After opening the Case Manager developer portal, if a user portal was opened in a second tab using the 'Switch Portal' option shown in operator menu, returning to the developer portal tab caused that tab to be refreshed and the user portal tab to close. Previously, attempting to open a second portal session in a tab of the same window resulted in a 'Multiple sessions running' error. This limitation was removed in Pega 7.x. However, in this case the 'ShowDesktop' activity could not determine the 'ThreadName' parameter and defaulted to the 'Standard' thread and this change caused the refresh. The logic for determining the thread name has been updated to remove this issue.

"Required" checkboxes now working properly with Firefox
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When using Firefox, putting focus on a field which has "Required" checkbox checked and clicking "Enter" button caused the flow to ignore the checkbox and move forward without showing any error on the screen. This was an issue with the browser not supporting the event prevention code, and the system has been updated to ensure expected behavior.

Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
