Issue when checking checkboxes fast
SA-15341
Summary
There is an issue with posting the value of checkboxes to clipboard if user checks the checkboxes in a fast pace.
There is a big list of items displayed using a page list. Each item has a checkbox to select it. If there are significant number of items present in the list (10 or more) and when trying to select the line items faster, without giving at least a second time gap, then some of the items' selection value is not posted on to the clipboard but item is displayed as selected (checkbox is displayed as selected). Hence, pySelected (associated property for checkbox) is false for few items in the list.

Steps to Reproduce

If there are significant number of items present in the list (10 or more) and when trying to select the line items faster, without giving at least a second time gap, then some of the items selection value is not posted on to the clipboard but item is displayed as selected (checkbox is shown as selected). Hence, pySelected (associated property for checkbox) is false for few items in the list.
Root Cause
A software use or operation error.
User was clicking two consecutive checkboxes without any delay (less than half a second) and as a result, the post value is not performed for all the checkboxes selected because the activities of the previous selected checkbox are not completed.
Resolution
Perform the following local-change:
Add the below script in a section and place it in the section containing checkboxes.
<script>
function disable()
{
$('.checkbox.chkBxCtl').attr("disabled",true);
}
function enable()
{
$('.checkbox.chkBxCtl').attr("disabled",false);
}
</script>
Now on click of checkbox:
1. To disable the checkbox selection, till all the events on "Click" action are completed, call below function by running a script.
function disable
2. To enable the checkboxes, call below function by running a script after all other events on "Click" action of checkbox.
