Blank users appear in the CMC & Phantom JobServerChild processes

Question

We are running BOE XIr2 SP3, FP 3.2
When viewing Home > Servers > xx.CMS, the list often includes an entry with a blank User Name and a session count usually more than 1. The Last Logon Time is almost always within a half hour of when I check the list.
Coincident with this mystery, and perhaps related, is the appearance of JobServerChild processes that have no corresponding active report or LOV. I added the "-maxChildReqs 1 -childProcTimeOut 30" options to the command lines of all Job servers to ensure the Child processes terminate upon completion of their assignments.
The Child processes were terminating correctly before the blank User Name phenomenon arose. Why do I now find several JobServerChild processes running?

Answer 1

For anyone else wrestling with this...
This problem appears to be related to Spry animation. Using
something like...
quote:
var Accordion1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1
{defaultPanel: xxx, enableAnimation: false});
(where "xxx" equals the panel you want to open)
...at least allows you to open the panel in all browsers.
Sniffing the user-agent and disabling animation conditionally
allows you to keep the sexy animation in Firefox, Safari, etc.
Not an entirely satisfactory solution, but at least it works.
