Hello,
I just got a message from customer describing probably the same:
"When I tried to open the application
for the first time, the box that asks if I visited the website (the box
appears only the first time, as the second time you try to open the
application asks for the code) appeared and the screen started flickering.
As nothing was responding, I did a reset. Everything is working after that."
The message is realized via FrmCustomAlert, too.
Testing on the T5 simulator did not confirm any troubles.
Regards,
Jan Slodicka
