Hyperlink manager dialog box cannot be closed in Mozilla Firefox

Reference number: 337033

If you are using the Firefox browser, and adding a hyperlink to the body of a mail in the Send Mail Save Action, the Hyperlink manager dialog cannot be closed using the “OK” or “Cancel” button. The hyperlink is, however, added correctly.

Impossible to add a form in Page Editor when the Datasource Location is empty or contains path to a non-existent item

Reference number: 352647 

If the “Datasource Location” field of the “/sitecore/layout/Renderings/Modules/Web Forms for Marketers/Form” item is empty or contains a path to a non-existent item, the form inserting functionality in Page Editor may stop working. This may happen when the “/sitecore/context/home” item is deleted or renamed, because initially the field contains the path to this item.

Workaround:
Change the “Datasource Location” field value to path to an existing item to which the most of the page editor users have the read access (for example, the site root item).

Web Forms placed on the cached sublayouts don't work.

Reference number: 354946

Web Forms placed on the sublayouts with the enabled caching do not work. It is an expected behavior. When the cached sublayout is requested Sitecore returns the cached HTML output omitting the usual ASP.NET web control life cycle. For more information about the Output Caching in Sitecore CMS, see Presentation Component Reference

Workaround: Disable caching for sublayouts containing the web form.
