Link Switcher Bug after upgrading from 6.4 to 6.5.1

[omerr]

Hi,

We use the visualization, Link Switcher, in many of our apps.

Yesterday we made an upgrade from 6.4.2 to 6.5.1 and unfortunately we encountered a bug.

In 6.4.2 when you define some links (e.g static choices: Table Chart Map Blabla) in a panel - all of the choices will be in the same line on the screen.

In 6.5.1 then you will get (with the same choices) 2 lines on the screen.

This is problematic and not looks good on the screen - The User Experience and the Screen Space are disturbed (The panel size is bigger with a lot of white place for nothing).

In the new Splunk 6.x Dashboard Examples app, within the Link Switcher Example, the bug showing also - I expected that someone saw it before publishing.

Please Help us to fix it, I imagine that this is important for many customers.

Thanks,

Omer.

Hi omerr,
only a stupid question: did you upgraded only dashboard or also JS?
I had a problem like yours, solved upgrading also the related JS.
And be sure to have the last version.
Bye.

Giuseppe - I didn't understand your question.

I upgraded Splunk system with rpm file from Splunk 6.4.2 to 6.5.1 .

I don't know what you mean about upgrade dashboard? or JS? - Can you explain please...

Update:

The problem is more widely then I thought.

When you develop a dashboard, there is an option with js to control the width of panels (custom_layout_width.js).
After the upgrading, we saw that the Link Switcher is not wirking with the configuration of this layout width (works before) - It's working just for the first time the page loading and when you select different option within the Link Switcher - it's back to original width (e.g 2 panels in row: 35%-65%, after click on other link, back to 50%-50%).

Hope someone can help with those issues.

Thanks,

Omer.
