Hi all.
Event list checkboxes disappeared after upgrading from 1.37.27~20221103182923-focal to 1.37.27~20221106074651-focal
Before: After: Not a big deal, but now there's no convenient way to delete events from UI.

Thus far I am unable to reproduce this. Also unable to comprehend why it would happen. We don't seem to do anything WRT permissions in terms of whether that is visible.

I assume this is true across all monitors and also for the admin user?

Sure. All monitors, filter results etc.
It happened right after upgrade and no users are defined, no_auth is also on.
I downgraded to 20221103182923-focal but the problem persists. Maybe it's somewhere in config, please advise.

I have both versions installed on separate machines, and the "eventTable" is the same on the one with checkboxes and the one without, except: is missing

This is really weird

1. I see checkboxes in Chrome opened in VNC session on ZM machine (Ubuntu)
2. I see no checkboxes using Chrome or Firefox on Windows machine.
3. I do see them using Edge on the same Windows machine. I also see them using "Private" and "Incognito" modes in Firefox and Chrome on that Windows machine.

So I ended up clearing all cookies for ZM url in Chrome and got my checkboxes back in Chome, untill I reopened it in Firefox, that broke checkboxes again in both browsers.

I cleared all cookies for ZM url in Firefox AND Chrome, and it was OK, all checkboxes are in place first time I open some event list.
BUT: (This I can reproduce on any machine (Windows, Ubuntu))
Until I refresh the page or change filter conditions. Simple F5 and no checkboxes again. Same behavior in both Chrome & Firefox. I think it's some cookie that's messing up. OK, I add ZM host to exceptions to block cookies from it. And all event tables stop to show at all. Great.

Yeah cookie are required. The javascript library that we use to generate the events list keeps it's state in cookies. I kinda think this is terrible.

Anyways, gives me a place to look. Stay tuned.

Just to clarify:
It only happens with one ZM server that was updated from 20221103182923 to 20221106074651 (I'm not upgrading the rest in production without fix), and it persists for both versions even when I downgrade it back using the package zoneminder_1.37.27~20221103182923-focal_amd64.deb from https://launchpad.net/~iconnor/+archive ... d/24596029.
I guess some libraries are not downgraded, or some settings are not reverted.

Proved to be wrong guess, see UPD below

UPD: was able to reproduce the bug on ZM server 1.37.27~20221103182923-focal which was never upgraded to 1.37.27~20221106074651-focal
Cleared all cookies -> reload page with F5 (checkboxes are in place) -> F5 again - no checkboxes.

UPD2: Same on 1.37.25~20221026131017-focal.
Used Chrome & Firefox browsers on 4 different Systems (Win7, Win10, Ubuntu Server 20.04 & Debian 11) to reproduce.
I don't have older ZM builds installed handy to check.

Looks like this bug is older than I thought.

1.37.27~20221116103319-focal
problem persists

1.37.28~20221213124234-focal
problem is still here (reproducible exactly the same way as before)

+ another one. This system is a DVR setup and continuously recording.
click on daily (hourly, doesn't matter) events for a monitor: clear "Start Date/Time" filter value:

New packages should fix the second issue.

The first one: I have seen from time to time when there is not enough width to display all columns. Try turning off some columns and see if it comes back.

screenshots above are made from the same browser tab. when I clear StartDateTime filter all columns fit.
1.37.28~20221213164433-focal fixed that, thanks!

I always hide Analysis columns, since in my case Analysis is done by our own Neural Networks (they receive video streams directly from cameras), ZM is only recording pass-through streams.
Filter Results table takes less space than page width, about 80% of page, so there's planty of it.

Again, to reproduce:
1. clear cookies for ZM host
2. checkboxes are back!
3. do something (e.g. hide some fields)
4. refresh table (or better the whole page via F5) - no checkboxes

HNY!

1.37.28~20230102152527-focal amd64
Problem persists.

I think I have this fixed in todays build.

confirmed fixed in 1.37.28~20230103192033-focal, thank you!
