Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-3374:
----------------------------------------

Hi Sascha, 

In a custom project I'm working on, we use "lookups by name" and we use the 
trunk. Those lookups work like the ordinary lookups, but on return they show 
the name of the object looked up instead of its Id (most of the time, users 
prefer to see names than Ids). For that we use also an hidden field where we 
put the Id (the hidden field has the same name than the description-field-name).

When I updated the project and tested I got an error with this patch. The error 
appears in the fieldLookup2 (in fieldlookup.js) because obj_target2.value == 
null (it's the last error message). I hope to have a closer look tonight to see 
if it's relate to custom code or not. I will let you know as soon as I get more 
information...

Chris Snow also reported an issue with the Calendar on user ML but I'm not sure 
it's related.

> They shouldn't open in a page layer instead of a seperate windows. 
> My Patch contains a prototype (not a final patch), so what do you think about
