IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 8 Release Notes
Lotus Notes
New window instance created each time Mail document is opened
When you open a Lotus Notes 8 Beta client mail message from the Inbox, it opens in a new window, tab,
or grouped tab, depending on your preference setting. If you return to your mail Inbox and double-click
that same message, it opens in another new window, tab, or grouped tab. Instead, this action should
redisplay the already open instance and give it focus.
Lotus Notes
Radio buttons in Rule folder for Notes Standard are icons
In the Tools/Rules folder in the left navigation panel, select a document rule, then single-click the radio
button to Enable or Disable it. In Notes 8 Basic, you can toggle them on and off by clicking them. In Notes
8 Standard, however, they are not buttons but icons, so clicking on them doesn't do anything.
Workaround
Open the Rule form to change the Enable/Disable status, then save it; the radio button can then be
refreshed. Or, go to another folder or view, then come back to the Rule folder.
Notes client on Linux issues
Lotus Notes
Accelerator key issues
Some Accelerator keys are invalid in the Notes client running on Linux. For example, in the "Choose
SmartIcons Set" dialog box the "Alt + t" accelerator key sequence does not work. Or, in the Notes Basic
Client, the configuration item "Alt+n, e, or d" do not work.
Lotus Notes
Add Bookmark dialog does not display choosing Create - Bookmark
Choosing Create -> Bookmark from the menu does not take effect when creating a bookmark for a
document in a Notes application. Instead, click the document content before choosing Create ->
Bookmark; then, the "Add Bookmark" dialog will be shown.
Lotus Notes
Adding actions for Hotspot issues
The "@Function Formula" choice is missing when adding an action in the Action HotSpot dialog.
Additionally, you cannot mark a simple action with the mouse in an editor. After marking, pressing the
Edit Action button causes only the Add Action dialog to display.
