Document displaying strangely in Weblink

WebLink Version 11

Updated May 9

asked on January 16 • Show version history

Running Weblink 11.0.2411.10 and a few users have reported issues with documents displaying strangely. See attached image for an example.

In this instance, I'm able to view the document just fine, but it displays broken into pieces on the user's screen. It's almost as if the document viewer is trying to display it as thumbnails.

I had the user clear her browser cache and try reloading but that didn't fix the issue.

Any thoughts on what's causing this and how to fix it?

Will answer my own question in case anyone has this problem in the future.

I contacted support and it appears that there is a bug in Weblink where any zoom under 100% in the browser window will cause this to happen. Setting the zoom back to 100% fixes it.

Interesting. I have seen this in Cloud on just one pc in the environment. It wasn't a highly used pc so we were able to work around.

Thanks for posting this!

Quick clarifying question, by zoom do you mean the browser zoom in the menu/settings, or the document browser zoom (in your example set to 33%)

Thanks!

From my experience it's a mix of both.

@████████ did Laserfiche say they were working on a fix for this or know when one might be available? We are seeing the same issue.

No, the support person I worked with didn't mention it. I know we had experienced this same issue in a previous version of Weblink so it seems doubtful it's on their roadmap to fix. I hope it is.

Laserfiche are you able to provide a timeframe for when a fix for this issue will be available? Our end users will become frustrated quickly with having to zoom to 100% on every document and I'm sure those that are using this for public viewing of documents would have a bigger problem since they can't contact everyone to let them know.
