Subject line is a bit of a mouthful I know :-)

I've noticed a bit of an odd effects going on with the Preview and Library 
Search features of one of our Content Types - Staff

With the Preview what I'm seeing is the page renders then in the footer a 
sudden flash of extra content appears before the whole page is wiped out 
and goes blank.

With the Library Search, which is coming from a Related Content picker, I'm 
seeing something similar. You put in your search, you get the loading 
prompt and then the screen flashing with this content and everything goes 
blank.

So a bit of investigation work has turned up some interesting findings :-)

What seems to be happening is the Webtop is making an AJAX call to pull in 
extra content. I'm assuming with the preview it's to load in the Webtop 
Toolbar in the footer? 

The call itself is going to something like this:-
http://localhost/Staff/FE93D940-15E2-11E1-A334005056837ACE/trayContainer/ajaxmode/1/totalTickCount/110

Likewise with the Library Search it's doing a call on this kind of address 
- 
http://localhost/staff/FE93D940-15E2-11E1-A334005056837ACE/displayLibrary/property/teaserImage/ajaxmode/true/filterTypename/dmImage

Note the Staff part of the addresses.

The problem seems to be that we're using Staff as a FURL. One of the main 
navigation points on the Site Tree uses it so what I'm guessing is 
happening is the AJAX call is being intercepted by Core's FURL features, 
it's being thrown into the Staff webskin and the HTML I'm seeing a flash of 
is actually the rendering that's happened from http://localhost/staff.

Just to confirm that's the case I removed the FURL from the Site Tree. Ran 
the preview and search again and they've started working.

----

On a side note since we've gone live with 6.1.1 I've started recieving new 
error reports from the site. It looks like Content Types now get their own 
FURLs by default. So the Content Type of "News" is automatically getting - 
http://www.domain.com/news

----

So my question was really - what's the best approach to getting around this 
do you think? I'm currently thinking I should rename the content type and 
then check to make sure others aren't showing the same symptoms. Or is this 
something that should be looked at as a fix in Core?

Cheers,
James
