I am using a Multiplexer module inside a LinkSwitcher module. There are "Page 1" and "Page 2" link element inside the LinkSwitcher module. I use Multiplexer module in "Page 2" to display multiple JSChart based on field "feature". Indeed, it will display the correct charts in "Page 2". But when I click on "Page 1", the same charts will appear also. What can I do so that the charts will only show in "Page 2"?

  <module name="LinkSwitcher" layoutPanel="panel_row1_col1">
    <param name="mode">independent</param>
    <param name="label"> </param>

    <module name="Search" group="Page 1" layoutPanel="panel_row1_col1" autoRun="True">
      <param name="search"><my_search></param>

      <module name="Pulldown">
        :

        <module name="Search" layoutPanel="panel_row1_col1">
          <param name="search"><my_search2></param>
          <module name="Pulldown">

          </module>          
        </module>
      </module>

      <module name="Search" group="Page 2" layoutPanel="panel_row1_col1" autoRun="True">
        <param name="search"><my_search></param>
        <module name="Pulldown">
          :

          <module name="Search" layoutPanel="panel_row1_col1">
            <param name="search"><my_search2></param>
            <module name="Pulldown">
              :

It looks like this is a timing issue - can you confirm that if you let all the searches under the Multiplexer run to completion, and then you change to page 1, that the bug goes away - ie that the charts then remain hidden until you switch back to "page 2"? I think what happens is that the LinkSwitcher click happens while the searches and charts are still in mid-run and/or mid-render even.

Either way it definitely sounds like a bug - I was able to reproduce the timing issue as described, I'm just looking for a little more information to confirm that what you're seeing and what I'm able to reproduce is actually the same thing before I go about fixing it. Thanks.

Yes,you are correct. The bug goes away if I wait all the searches completed in "Page 2" and then I switch to "Page 1". The "Page 1" is my default view and each time I refresh the view, it will show the charts in "Page 1". Is it any module I can use to prevent it runs the searches in "Page 2"? Or perhaps I shouldn't use the LinkSwithcer module? Thanks.
