Images Disappear in Internet Explorer 9 when Zooming or Rotating
An Internet Explorer 9 canvas bug can cause images to disappear when you click to zoom or rotate the image.
Note: For this reason and many others, Snowbound DOES NOT RECOMMEND any Internet Explorer older than Microsoft Edge.
The issue occurs because VirtualViewer AJAX is drawing faster than IE 9 can handle.
To correct this issue, we added a variable in vvDefines.js
called ie9DrawDelay
. It inserts a delay in milliseconds into the IE 9 drawing code which can help work around this bug.
Please add this entry to the vvDefines.js
file:
ie9DrawDelay: 900,
The vvDefines.js
file is located in \virtualviewer\js\vvDefines.js
.
The default value is 100 (100 milliseconds). The user can set the ie9DrawDelay
variable as high as necessary. However; if it is set too high, it could cause a delay for the user each time they zoom.
The ie9DrawDelay
variable will not work if IE 9 is set to compatibility mode. It will only work in IE 9 standard mode. Please try adding
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge">
to index.html
to force IE 9 standard mode.
