Known Issues
Regressions
There are several regression in Admin Users:
- A CSRF confirmation is requested to see user details
- Fixed for 5.4
- The confirm button of the CSRF confirmation screen for user edition is broken, preventing users from being edited.
- Fixed for 5.4
- Batch upload / Users import is broken (nothing happens after confirmation)
- Fixed for 5.4
A workaround for the last 2 issues is to disable "Protect against CSRF with a ticket" in the admin panel. Be aware that permanently disabling this preference opens security flaws.
False alert when saving some text areas
When saving an Article or a Tracker with a text area, Tiki may display a warning that you may lose data by leaving the page, when you click Save.
You can safely ignore this warning and click OK. Your edits will be saved.
This behavior will be corrected in Tiki 6.
