Problems with the new update of Chrome in PPM!

Question

New features introduced in Chrome 83, break PPM code for Auto-Complete popups. All PPM versions are impacted. PPM R&D is working on the issue and soon details can be found at link QCCR1L69069 . In the interim please either do not automatically take the Chrome update or use PPM with a different browser (Firefox/IE11). You can also try and downgrade Chrome if you are impacted by this issue, until a solution is in place.

Hi Everyone, 
 R&D came up with a tentative fix for all ACLs when using Chrome 83 . You should contact support to get an official hotfix for your PPM version. 
 I can share the (simple) fix here if some of you want to apply the change manually, but please be aware that at this stage this is a beta code fix which hasn't gone through QA testing yet - so PLEASE back up the file you modify in case we come up with a better fix later. 
 Beta Fix: 
 Edit the file <SERVER_HOME>/deploy/itg.war/web/knta/global/js/CompValidation.js and make the following change ( note that the line number will change depending on your PPM version - below screenshot uses PPM 9.61 code) 
 
 Here's the new code as text if you want to copy & paste: 
 setTimeout( function() {popupDocument.location = newLoc}, 0 ); 
 You can change the file directly on PPM server while the server is running, no need to restart PPM for changes to take effect, just do a hard-refresh in your browser (CTRL F5) to load the updated JS file. 
 Unfortunately this fix is too late to be included in PPM 9.61, so it should be part of PPM 9.62, tentatively planned for the end of August. In the meantime, we'll issue hotfixes for any (supported) PPM version you may be using that supports Chrome. Please contact Micro Focus Support for more info. 
 Kind Regards, 
 Etienne.
