Error description

  • Outlook 2013 allows to reply to or forward a message from the
    inbox without opening a new window. In that case, the reading
    pane is replaced by a compose area containing the new message
    and a new MESSAGE tab containing the COMPOSE TOOLS is added.
    With IBM Content Collector Outlook Extension being installed
    and enabled, this did not work. Instead of the compose area
    opening as expected, the reading pane was redisplayed.
    
    Whenever an activity is performed, Outlook fires corresponding
    events (such as a selection change event or an inline
    response event). The IBM Content Collector Outlook Extension
    reacts to such events and performs additional activities based
    on those events. In the given scenario, the Outlook Extension
    relied on a certain sequence of events. If the events were
    fired in that expected sequence, Outlook worked correctly,
    but failed if the sequence was reverted.
    

Local fix

  • You can circumvent the problem by selecting the Outlook option
    "Open replies and forwards in a new window" (Mail tab).
    

Problem summary

Problem conclusion

  • Starting with this fix, IBM Content Collector does no longer
    depend on the sequence of events.
    

Temporary fix

  • Starting with Limited Availability Interim Fix
    4.0.1.0-IBM-ICC-OE-LA003, IBM Content Collector does no longer
    depend on the sequence of events.
