Unfortunately, I cannot provide a link to a public site, as PeopleSoft
applications usually reside on company intranets.

In PeopleSoft EPM application's Tree Manager, the buttons, that are supposed to
be at the bottom of the page, are not rendered where they belong, but end up
drawn _over_ the actual tree. Examples are "Notify" button in the default tree
view, and "Select" and "OK" buttons in tree-member chooser.

I realize that you may not have access to an instance of PeopleSoft EPM, but
this explanation may give you a clue as to what could be the problem. The
importance of this bug is significant, because many large corporations, such as
Citigroup use PeopleSoft applications.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Tree Manager
or
2. Use "In Tree" option in PS_Query to browse any tree with enough nodes/leaves
to fill a page.
Actual Results:  
Buttons "Notify" or "Select" and "OK" are drawn over the tree.

Expected Results:  
Buttons should always end up at the bottom of the page, below the tree.

Could you save a a copy of this page on to you Hard drive, and put a copy on a
web site, or upload it as an attachment.

Have you tried notifing PeopleSoft of this problem?

Please could you upload a copy of the html, so that I can anilize it to better
understand what is happening.

You can do this by clicking File -> Save As, give it a name, then upload the
save html page as an attachment. You will see that it also creates a seperate
folder together with the html page, it which it saves all other files nessary to
display the page, such as images. You do not need to upload any of the images,
but please upload any stylesheets as attachments(they will end in .css)

Sorry, I can't do that. There may be sensitive information coded in plain text
on that page, and I am not willing to take the risk of disclosing it.

Unfortunately, there's not much we can do with this bug as it stands...  No way
to reproduce, no way to analyze, nothing to go on.

If you replace all text in the page with "xxx" or something, does the bug still
show?  If so, could you attach that modified page?

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
