Tab panel read meaningfully by screen readers
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
When the tabPanel received focus with accessibility, the entire tab content was read instead of the W3 standard of only reading "Edit ". This has been resolved by ensuring the Tabpanel has the proper aria-labelledby.

Tab will exit portal side menu
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
It is expected that the Tab key will take users out of the portal menu and to the next focusable element, but on the side navigation menu both tab and arrow keys moved to the next menu item. This caused users to have to navigate the entire menu. The correct behavior was seen for the Navigation rule when called from an Action (for example on the button). This was traced to the system using tabindex as "0" for every element in the menu, and the tabs code has been updated to exit out of the menu bar when pressed.

Third party cookies reminder added for Mashup in incognito browsers
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
When working in incognito/private browser windows, attempting to use Mashup displayed a message indicating login credentials were not recognized ("Unknown password and/or username"). This was due to recent changes originating with the browsers regarding blocking third-party cookies which are necessary for Mashup to run. For informational purposes, a new API has been added which will check for the PegaRules cookie; if the cookie is not present, the message "Third party cookies must be enabled for Mashup to function." will be displayed. This message may be customized by configuring the setting "pega.web.config.xCookiesDisabled" with the required message.

Try catch added for templated refresh when
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
After configuring a refresh when condition on a dynamic layout triggered by changes on D_worklist.pxResults, a component stack mismatch error was generated if client side UI template is enabled. Without templatization it worked as expected. This has been resolved by adding a try catch block to DynamicLayoutGenerator.java.

GRS values supported for pxTestEmailConnectivity activity
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2
After upgrade, the global parameter reference did not work in email accounts. This was an unintended consequence of recent email refactoring: although GRS values were being resolved in the activity and shown in the components tested section of the test connectivity gadget, they were not being passed to the pxTestEmailConnectivity activity. This caused the test connectivity to fail if the inputs configured in email accounts were in GRS syntax. To fix this, the SMTPConnectivity and POPorIMAPConnectivity activities of Data-EmailAccount class have been modified to add the GRS resolved values to an emailAccountPage which is passed as a parameter to pxTestEmailConnectivity activity.

Special character handling improved to ensure MTOM binary contains all data
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2
The presence of special characters was causing the data to be truncated when moving XOP elements in the SOAP envelope and encoding them into multi-part binary elements (MTOM). This was traced to Connect SOAP With MTOM Option missing some content in the Response data particularly in conjunction with Websphere using a specific JDK version, and has been resolved by modifying the setOptimizeOnChildren method in PRServiceUtilsPriv class to to get all the content.

Connector and Metadata wizard skip of renaming classes works for very large metadata in Chrome
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2
When using the Connector & Metadata wizard to generate Data mapping rules for Java Bean metadata with an imported jar containing a large number of metadata (over 5000 classes and properties), clicking on the option to skip renaming of classes and properties caused the browser to hang. This was traced to legacy code which was not efficient enough to handle this volume, and modifications have been made to avoid unnecessarily overloading the DOM and triggering onclick addEventListener events multiple times. This reworked skip function works smoothly with Chrome, but as yet does not work with the IE browser due to legacy coding and browser incompatibility issues.

Bulk delete updated and NPE handling improved to resolve deadlock when loading data flow landing page
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2
A large number of data flow objects on the data flow landing page were making the system unresponsive, and bulk delete activity would sometimes fail on a null pointer exception when progress could not be retrieved. To resolve this, the bulk delete activity provided in [Data-Decision-Service] pyDeleteByStatusAndTime has been modified to be more flexible by allowing deletions based only a date or a status, and the documentation for the activity itself has been improved. Additional handling was added for a potential null pointer exception, and the activity will continue trying to delete other runs if a null pointer exception does occur. The system will not load a data flow run object anymore (which can cause issues when rules do not exist), and will instead load the run progress directly from the database.
