  • Compensation

Reproducing the Issue

Go to compensation > executive review tab > access any template > scroll down the user list and notice the screen jumping.

Cause

This is a known issue under IE, and is related with sfMagicTable, during scrolling, browser will try to scroll and align the table with new location and alignment. But for IE, it have a poor re-render engine and hence the issue. Unfortunately this is a known bug with the SFMagicTable in IE and there is nothing the engineering team can do to fix it.

Resolution

Workarounds suggested:

  • Use 15 -20 items per page, so that there is no scrolling. 
  • Drag the drag handle using the mouse by holding the mouse on the handle and drag down (instead of using the mouse wheel) - the table should scroll more smoothly this way.
