This is an event problem and doesn't have an easy one step fix. Release note should be something like: Executing the JavaScript window.close() method from within an event handler will crash NGT. An easy workaround is to use a setTimeout to execute the close method after the event handler has completed.

petersen, could you try with lastest apprunner and viewer builds please? All Platforms. And change Platform to All, component to Apprunner if still occurs. Thanks!
Can't reproduce this problem since the page has been changed. Clicking on link goes to another page and doesn't open a javascript window. Should this bug be assigned "fixed" since the page has been changed ?
