Resolution



This issue is resolved through the following local change:
"Add new
"X-UA-Compatible" header to PRPC cookie with below Filter Servlet"

public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {

                             
                                // place your code here

                                // set header to override IE compatibility view setting

                                HttpServletRequest hreq=(HttpServletRequest)request;

                                String browserAgent= ""+hreq.getHeader("USER-AGENT");

                                if(browserAgent.toUpperCase().indexOf("MSIE")>=0){

                                                HttpServletResponse hres=(HttpServletResponse)response;

                                                //hres.getOutputStream().write("");

                                                hres.setHeader("X-UA-Compatible", "IE=Edge");

                                }                              

                                
                                // pass the request along the filter chain

                                chain.doFilter(request, response);

                }
