Chromium browser issue affects Business Central

Chromium problem affects Business Central

If you use Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome when running Business Central, you may have found that the boolean buttons are in the wrong positions. This is due to an update of Chromium. While Chromium developers are working on a solution, Microsoft has a workaround ready.

What is the cause of the problem?

The reason why the boolean buttons in Business Central fail is well known, it is simply due to the new June 2022 Chromium based updates whose code base is used by both Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome. These updates have caused errors in the rendering of the Business Central interface, which means that the check boxes/sliders in the boolean buttons are moved to the wrong position.

So if you are using a recently updated Edge or Chrome browser, you will encounter this issue. It is important to note here that this error is not a Business Central error, but rather an error in Chromium.

Both Microsoft and Chromium are well aware of the problem.

Corrections

While the developers behind the Chromium-based browsers are working hard to resolve the issue.

For Business Central online, the fix was implemented across all relevant regions between June 29 and July 4. So if you run Business Central online there should no longer be a problem.

Business Central on-premise

What can you do while waiting for the corrections?
