Chromium issue

[pzkor]

Hello!

I am trying to use a data filter widget in KNIME v4.0. What happens is that the widget creates a tab in the taskbar and even a snapshot of the page is visible, but yet the actual window does not open. In the screenshot below you can see a working Chromium window on the left and the ‘ghost’ widget tab on the right.

Any suggestions how to fix the issue?

Hi @pzkor!

That is new to me. Does the problem persist when you use other widgets or does the problem just happen with this Widget? Are you working with a single screen or with two?

Cheers,
Ana

Hi Ana,

It is with any JavaScript content if I have Chromium set as the default. I am using three screens: the laptop’s own and two desktop screens.

It works if I change the default browser to be IE in KNIME preferences, but I am aware that this is not recommended by KNIME, and I am now encountering new issues which could be due to IE.

Thanks

I just realized that if I right-click the thumbnail of the window and maximize it, it does appear and fills the laptop’s own screen. When IE is used for JavaScript views there is no issue.

Hi @pzkor

Thank you for your reply. Just to try to understand the source of the problem better: does the problem persist when you use only one screen (i.e., the laptop screen)? Did you by any chance had the same problem when using 3.7?

Cheers,
Ana

Hi Ana,

I just disconnected the desktop screens and it worked! More strangely, now it works even with the screens connected! So problem solved it seems, somehow.

I did not use the functionality until the v4.0.

Well, It seems to have been something in the multiple screens configuration. Good thing that the problem is solved at least.

Let me know if it happens again.

Cheers,
Ana
