The UI is broken.

Tested on Chrome and Edge.

In the case of Edge, no Extensions where running at the moment.

Hi @jgoncalves ,

Thanks for confirming. We see the same here on Edge Dev 89.0.760.0 and it does appear to be a compatibility issue with the HTML / CSS on the forms in the Support Assistant. As Microsoft mentions here, the Beta version they release every 6 weeks is more stable. Testing on Edge Beta 88.0.705.45 the issue is not reproducible any more.

With regard to our eSupport tools, testing happens on latest production versions of mainstream browsers (IE / Edge / Firefox / Chrome). Knowing that this could become an issue in a few months for us is helpful and the dev team has been made aware.

Best regards,

Peter.

Hi @jgoncalves ,

Thanks for reporting this issue to us. One of our production nodes had a brief outage earlier today and the symptoms you're describing look to be consistent with CSS not loading correctly.

All production nodes are currently UP, and so a hard refresh with Ctrl + F5 should restore functionality.

Please could you check and let us know if you are still seeing an issue ?

With best regards,

Peter.

Ctrl+F5 or Clearing the browser cache(from Edge menu) is not fixing the issue.

I've done more tests:

  • IE (Windows 10 20H2) is working
  • Microsoft Edge Version 87.0.664.75 (Official build) (64-bit) is working
  • Microsoft Edge (DEV) Version 89.0.760.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit) is not working

Image was captured from Edge Dev. It is my main browser. Don't know if is problem of Edge or PTC Site.

I found the same today with Edge 88.0.705.63 (Official build) (64-bit) and with Chrome 88.0.705.63 (Official build) (64-bit) and with Internet Explorer from Windows 10 v1909.

It is impossible to raise a support request from any of those browsers.  I suppose it's one way of keeping your work volume under control...

I just tested my environment with 

  • Version 88.0.705.63 (Official build) (64-bit)
  • Version 88.0.705.68 (Official build) (64-bit)

With both standard releases (no DEV/Canary/Beta) it worked just fine. ✔

 

Did you tried to disable all Edge extensions?

 

FYI, Edge Version 90.0.789.1 (Official build) dev (64-bit) continues to fail

Same issue here in both Chrome 89 and Edge 89.

I opened a case to tech support, but they referred me to this community thread.
