Bug editing report attributes in Firefox

Question

Has anybody logged this problem before?
It occurs in Apex 2.2 and 3.0 and FireFox 2.2, but I cannot reproduce it using IE6.
Open a page with a report region and go to the report attributes.
Look at the Headings Type and remember the setting.
Edit one of the columns using the "pencil icon".
Go back to the report attributes using the back button in the browser.
The Headings Type has changed!
This can cause you to lose your custom headings.

from someone who clearly knew HTMLDB/Apex inside and out I'd say 'clearly not' if they said it wouldn't work on other browsers than IE ;)
Unless you're misquoting or mis-remembering what they actually said then that statement you heard was in direct conflict with the "Supported Browsers" section of the documentation -
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32472_01/doc/relnotes.300/b32465/toc.htm#BGBCEGBI
which quotes -
To view or develop Oracle Application Express applications, Web browsers
must support JavaScript and the HTML 4.0 and CSS 1.0 standards. The
following browsers meet this requirement:
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher (Windows only)
Firefox 1.0 or higherI'll also add that 'officially supported' and 'will work' are actually two different things. I use a Mac and my browser of choice is usually Safari or Firefox and whilst Safari is not 'officially supported' the APEX Application Builder works absolutely fine (the SQL Workshop does not work though). However pretty much every application that I develop with APEX will also work in Safari quite happily.
not like those fly by night trainers who just go on the course themselves to teach it the next >week straight from the notes as I've seen on a few of the coursesI'm not sure who you're referring to specifically, but as with any course the best people (I have found) to teach are those people who do use the product day in and day out and have a passion for it, so perhaps it's another good opportunity to point out the following link -
European APEX Training

(end of shameless self-advertising ;)
There are also many other great teaching courses around, including the event at ODTUG -

and trust me...you won't hear anyone saying things like "APEX doesn't work in anything else but IE" at any of these training events ;)
