TYPO3 Core

Yes, this behaviour is still there with a TYPO3 4.6 installation.

As 4.6 isn't supported any more, I asked if this issue exist in 4.5 or 6.1?

This issue is still there in 6.1.1

I performed the following test with 7.6.23, 8.7.10 and 9.2.0-dev (latest master)

Prerequisites¶

1) BE admin user > enable admin panel using admPanel=1 in his/her TSConfig field
2) FE usergroup "test group"
3) TypoScript Setup:

config.admPanel=1

Test¶

1) create a page
2) create a content element (e.g. Text With Images) ,write in a lot of text, in Access Tab set its "Usergroup Access Rights" as "test group"
3) Save and preview the page
4) Expand the admin panel, expand the preview section and set "Simulate user group" to "test group" and click "Update"
5) close the whole admin panel

Results with 7.6.23¶

- on execution of step 4) the page is reloaded and the content becomes visible
- on execution of step 5) the content is hidden again and the page gets reloaded

Verdict: The issue is still present

Results with 8.7.10¶

- on execution of step 4) the page is reloaded and the content becomes visible
- on execution of step 5) the content remains visible and no reload occurs

Verdict: the issue is solved

NOTE¶

The issue is present again when you expand/collapse the single "Preview" section of admin panel, this reloads the page.

Results with 9.2.0¶

- on execution of step 4) the page is reloaded but the content remains invisible, because the "Simulate user group" dropdown is reset. This is a different issue (#84198).

Verdict: on hold because of the issue
