• Cannot enter text into the Rich Text Editor for Content Canvas when IE Explorer "Show friendly HTTP error messages" is checked. (Issue #54045)
  
  Workaround: This problem is caused by a flaw in Internet Explorer. Under the Tools | Internet Options | Advanced | Browsing section, there is an option for "Show friendly HTTP error messages." This option somehow causes the iFrame to fail. Uncheck the box to prevent the error.
• The Adaptive Tag is broken when switching from WYSIWIG to HTML editor. (Issue #54748)

• Sorting by "Modified On" in Publisher Explorer does not work. (Issue #47549)

  Workaround:
  
  On Solaris and Linux environments:
  1) Modify the line starting with "set.LANG" to read set.LANG=en_US.UTF-8
  2) Modify the line starting with "set.LC_CTYPE" to read set.LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
  
  On AIX:
  1) Modify the line starting with "set.LANG" to read set.LANG=EN_US.UTF-8
  2) Modify the line starting with "set.LC_CTYPE" to read set.LC_CTYPE=EN_US.UTF-8
  
  Also, verify that any operating system patches needed to support UTF-8 characters have been installed.
• Previewing folders gives a 404 error when directory browsing is disabled. (Issue #48505)

  4. Remove ""//"" from the Value string.

• When using the Rich Text Editor in Firefox, the first space before every 72nd character is removed. (Issue #56436)
• When the Workflow database is on Oracle, the error "ORA-01795: maximum number of expressions in a list is 1000" occurs when GroupSink encounters a group with membership that includes more than 1000 other groups. (Issue #56874)
• When upgrading from Publisher 6.2 to 6.4, the content items in Workflow preferences are not maintained. (Issue #56958)

• Checking out a content item and then approving it without publishing allows the fields to be edited, but trying to edit and save will produce an error. (Issue #58311)
• When uninstalling Publisher on HP-UX, the uninstaller may not completely remove the JRE that it lays down as part of installation ( /jre1.4.2_06). (Issue #59284)
  
  Workaround: If this occurs and you install Publisher again, the installer will fail to replace the JRE. This results in an incomplete installation of Publisher. To work around this issue, delete /jre1.4.2_06 directory and run installer again.
• (Oracle only) When checking in an item, a blank 'Comments' field may result in 'null' being displayed when viewing a content item's history. (Issue #59731)
• WebDAV does not work correctly on clients running Microsoft Vista. (Issue #60154)

  Workaround: Change the portlet URL of the Published Content Web service to reference “redirect.jsp” instead of “no redirect.jsp”.
