LO73243: A CUSTOM APPLICATION CAN TRIGGER VARIOUS GRAPHICS DRIVERS TO FAIL UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• An specially formatted embedded calendar view will result in
  corrupted
  graphics resulting in a crash of the display driver on many
  systems,
  especially with Intel embedded graphics found in many notebooks
  (see
  screenshot, video and sample database).
  
  The issue occurs in "Day" views with "Summarize" disabled,
  apparently
  only if the calendar view has a color column as the second
  column and a
  multivalue column with "newline" as separator. If the color
  column is
  removed or moved to the right, the issue does not occur.
  

Local fix

• Probable Cause:
  
  The first column inside the embedded view, of the custom
  application, is a color column; if this column is removed or
  moved to the right, the issue does not occur.
  
  The column "entry" is multi-value (separator: newline) - which
  will normally only display the first line in the "Day" view.
  With the color column in place, multiple lines are displayed,
  possibly causing the graphics problem.
  

Problem summary

• This APAR is closed as FIN. We have deferred the fix to a
