Here's one that may well catch you out.

If you are running Lotus Connections 2.5, and have installed Fixpack 1 (taking your environment to 2.5.0.1) or else just the single fix LO46171, then you may begin to see HTML tags appearing in the 'About Me' and/or "Background' rich text fields.  Updating these fields does not clear the problem.  In addition, in certain situations the field seems to go into a read-only mode where updates fail.

To resolve this regression bug, there is a new fix - LO47280:

Earlier patch (LO46171) was incorrectly escaping richtext content as if it was text content.  Added logic to respect difference between richtext and non-richtext attribute styles.
Note that as well as installing the fix using the UpdateInstaller, the Websphere profile TEMP directory must also be cleared/moved sideways.

Interestingly the LO47280 fix is available for Connections 2.0.1.0, 2.0.1.1, 2.5.0.0 and 2.5.0.1 so almost all current environments should have this fix installed.  Thanks to Kieran Reid in the Dublin support centre for his help in resolving this one.

I have successfully installed this fix, but I still see the HTML tags.... :-(

2) Did you clear the TEMP area?

Hi Christer, did you clear the temporary area as per the technote instructions? Also, clear browser cache?
