Disappearing objects, Screen not updating properly

bdiamante — Wed, 02 Apr 2014 21:43:07 GMT

Over the past few weeks I've been noticing that sheet objects on the screen disappear randomly while using the application. Once it starts happening it doesn't stop. Sometimes if I click where I know the object is supposed to be it will reappear or flash, but as you can imagine this renders the application unusable. I am only seeing the issue while using Qlikview Desktop for Windows.

In addition to objects disappearing, in some instances, they will just turn completely gray. There is no pattern to this behavior that I have noticed. It just seems like there's some graphical glitch and the screen is not redrawing properly. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Example: This is what the screen should look like:

This is what randomly happens when the glitch kicks in:

I had just upgraded to 11.2 about a month ago (curiously right around the time this started happening...), but in an effort to correct this I just rolled back to 11.0. Unfortunately, I'm still experiencing the problem. I cannot remember if I upgraded from 11.0 -> 11.2 or from 10 -> 11.2. I guess I'll try rolling back to version 10....

Might be a problem of version, try to role back to the previous version or update to the 11.2 SR1, or SR2, SR3, SR4

good luck

I actually come across this problem a lot, and it only happens in Desktop (so it's only a problem for me while developing, since once it's out on the server it doesn't happen anymore). In order to "fix" the issue, I just turn Webview on and off, and everything goes back to normal (at least for a little while).

Brian,

Go to the layout tab and check the selections you made in the Layer section. My guess is that the light blue Text Object that should be in the background has the same setting as the one that is disappearing. Try setting the blue background object to 'Bottom' and all of the actual objects with data to 'Top'.

I hope that helps.

I've done the same thing for a temporary fix, but there must be a reason this is happening?! I'm supposed to be demoing a dashboard for my Board and wanted to do it on Desktop to save from having noticeable lag in the charts... But not only is it making it impossible to author the dashboard in the first place, I certainly cannot have stuff disappearing when I do my live demo... in 2 days!!!!!

I've investigated this a little and the layering orders are set the way I'd like them to be. The stuff that disappears are often objects that have no ordering conflicts at all like a button or list box directly on the sheet background. I'm really at a loss here...

I think it's a bug. If you're doing it in Desktop, can you just keep Webview on? It doesn't do it for me in Webview.

Unfortunately my web view triggers a 'Script Error' and won't actually load. I've been toggling it on/off just to redraw the screen.

What version of IE are you running? QV11.20 SR5+ are the only releases that support IE11. So if you're using an earlier version, you may need to downgrade IE.

I have the same issue, Layers have no impact, it is simply things that are close to the side. It gets worse if you apply zooming to make full use of the screen.

I will try the webview option but I had hoped for a better solution than that.

I ended up rolling back to version 11.00.1154.0 64-bit and I no longer experience the problem at all. It's unfortunate not being able to use the latest version, but until they correct that bug, I'm staying with 11.0. Depending on what version you're currently running, maybe give that a try?
