Known Issues

note

We are actively working on support for cross-domain iframes. These limitations should be removed within the next few releases.

  • Cross-domain iframes have limited support. Limitations include:
    • selecting elements within cross-domain iframes
    • running IGTs within cross-domain iframes
  • Using the keyboard shortcuts can result in display of the old UI (issue #2990)
  • Some keyboard shortcuts no longer work (issue #2991)
