I'm making a series of comparison maps and have run into an issue when using the new spy glass option. I'm getting buggy behavior from the pop-up windows - when I click on the main map I sometimes get the pop-up window for the spyglass layer (and vice versa). Each time I go into builder mode to re-set the pop-up window properties the problem is resolved for a period of time but then reverts to switching the pop-up windows. Any ideas on what's going on/how to fix?

I'm teaching with these apps next week and will need to switch to the swipe option if I can't get the spyglass option to work consistently.

Here's a URL for one of the apps that is not working (although it was working properly all day yesterday): http://tinyurl.com/mdd326t

Hi Janine,

Sorry you are experiencing this behavior.  I am able to reproduce the problem and have made note of the bug and will work on a fix.  Unfortunately this fix will not make it into the next patch for next week, but if you are able to host the application yourself, I could send an updated zip with the fix (when its ready).  Otherwise, the vertical swipe is probably the best option.  Again, sorry for the inconvenience.

Regards,
Mark

I switched to the swipe template and everything is working fine with the apps as long as I use them in Chrome or IE. When I view the maps in Firefox there is buggy behavior with the pop-up windows. The pop-up windows only show the 'zoom to' link and do notshow any of the content that was configured for them.

Also, as an FYI - when I switched from spyglass to swipe option in builder mode I ran into an issue where I could not edit the text description. Every time I edited the description and saved the changes it reverted back to the original description (which referenced using the spyglass window). I ended up creating brand new apps:
