David,

I just tried it on ARS 7.6.03 and Firefox 13.0 (latest version). I do not see the expand handle that you described.

I see it in BMC's SupportWeb with Firefox, but I don't see it on our local Mid-Tier pages so maybe it is a 7.5 thing.

Our Mid-Tier is 7.6.04 (SP2) on Linux using Apache/Tomcat

Thanks, Joe,

I tried changing that (it was on the view properties - the only view, so I got the right one), flushed midtier cache, but they're still there.

I notice the resize handles are seen on BMC's support site when you view your tickets. Maybe that's just the way it works.

I didn't know this was even a feature supported by the mid-tier.. Try
changing the 'Layout Editable by User' to False on the Appearance attributes
section of the form properties, and see if that makes a difference..

Hi all,

Character fields on our Remedy forms when seen in browsers like Firefox
and I think Chrome (not IE) show a little handle at the bottom right that you can drag to resize the field. Here's a link with a discussion about the handles
and a screenshot to show what I mean:

http://www.electrictoolbox.com/disable-textarea-resizing-safari-chrome/

I've had complaints/questions about that, since it appears on all character
fields regardless of size, and maybe the users expect the other fields to
dynamically wrap around the resized field - which is not what happens. This also looks bad if you have a display field with Display as Text set to "True" -
there's no box, but just the handle sitting out there.

Is there a way to configure the form fields or AR System to tell the browser
not to display these handles?

AR System and midtier  7.5 patch 007, tomcat/apache

Thanks,

David
